Thanks man! Definitely feels sweet, you were right about that. The thing is impossible to rack, though. Are you having any problems with that? Disassembly is kinda hard too (the slide stop doesnt seem to want to come out with just my thumb, lol).
I can't do any damage at all with a snap cap...right?
Yeah I found the slide pretty stiff too. Part of it is because it's new, but it's compounded by the fact that the CZ75 has a reversed slide rail, so the surface area to grab the slide is smaller than on other autos. The slide serrations really dig into your skin.
As for takedown, I usually hold the slide to the takedown notch with my right hand, thumb on the rear strap, fingers wrapped over the slide, and pulling back on the rear sight. Once it's on the right spot, I tap the right slide of the slide stop with the butt of a magazine (it's plastic), and that does the trick.
I'm sure it'll break in with use.
The one surprise I had with the CZ75 was the the recoil spring guide rod is plastic (I wonder if it's plastic on yours).
Snap caps should be fine. Looks like yours is A-Zoom, judging by the purple color. It's aluminum, so it should be fine in a all-steel gun.
