optimator Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 My buddy that owns a pawnshop just got one of these in. It's like new, I can get it for $425 out the door. I know I should (and probably will) buy it just because. But from what I've been reading is you cant do much with the Omega triggers. A lot of what I've read is a few years old though. Can these CZ's be improved at all? I shoot 3 gun if that matters at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can these CZ's be improved at all? I shoot 3 gun if that matters at all. I was also under the impression that the Omegas had very little parts support until i read this. This details the CGW parts compatibility with the 75 Omega pistol. CGW 75 Omega Steel Frame Parts compatibility. "The Omega system is much like the "classic" lock work, i.e. virtually all parts will interchange. But the 75B/0 metal framed guns do vary slightly from the P-07/09: 1) The slide only in the 75B/O uses the exact same parts as the classic series, i.e. firing pin, FP spring, barrel, sights, recoil spring, etc. 2) 75B/O grip frame uses the exact same hammer spring rates as the classic 75 models 3) Lock work parts in the 75B/O will interchange with the P-07/09 perfectly. The only caveat is the roller, which is different in the 75B/O. Our rollers will not fit the 75B/O." Sorce Link: http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=79658.msg580117#msg580117 So with some GGW 75 parts and some CGW P-series parts the Omega is moddable. This is the way i understand it, i would confirm with CGW. Edited June 5, 2016 by Tok36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimator Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks, looks like I'm buying another gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Omega metal frame guns clean up pretty nice. can't get the short reset as nice, but overall action is pretty good. We have done quite a few, and all have been nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I used parts from CGW for my Omega. It came out very nice. I think they are a bargain in the CZ world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hozzie Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 You can't lose money on it at that price. 75's are my favorite factory guns in their price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTGlass Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) We've had an Omega in the battery for 4-5 years now. It's been my teenage son's primary handgun. He will be shooting it in a PGPFT class this Friday. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love the ergonomics and pointability! I hate the recurve trigger along with all its take-up, and the limited after market support when compared to the classic 75 series. I have not looked too hard, but I also wish there was a wider safety available for it. It seems like it would be easy to dump the cost of the gun into mods, and still have an Omega. Now that I have a 75 Accu Shadow Lite, I'm considering to liquidating the Omega when he goes off to college. Our Omega did have to go back to CZ-USA for a warranty repair. From the first mag out of the box, the trigger wouldn't reset. Apparently a known issue with some mags knocking a spring loose. With the spring properly staked down, it's been 100% reliable ever since. The factory plastic grips cracked in short order and it's been wearing CZ rubber grips since. We replaced the sights with 1mm FO front and CZ75 Tactical fixed rear. Edited June 8, 2016 by MTGlass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimator Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 I went down Monday to get it. Since it was sold to a pawn shop, it has to be held for 14 days before they can sell it. So it'll be next week before I can get it. I already have a SP-01 Tactical & a PCR. This one will fit right in. I love my CZ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheby Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I was told that the Omega guns are in general more reliable/durable than the classic ones. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimase Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 never heard that, but then the cz design appears to be fairly reliable save for some maintenance items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimator Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I'm picking it up Thursday. Does anyone know if anyone makes an extended safety for this pistol? I already know that CGW does not. Edited June 14, 2016 by optimator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tok36 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I have not seen one if they are available. I have seen a few people customize their factory levers for the Omega and P series. Edited June 15, 2016 by Tok36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo495 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I love my Omega. I payed $425 for mine a couple of years ago. Put on fiber optic sights from Cajun gunworks and a 14lb recoil spring oh yea and some VZ grips. The thing shoots fantastic have put at least 2000 rds. thru it not 1 issue. For that price I'd buy it.
