I'm attending my first gun show here soon, and I'd like to know what wear and finish conditions to look for if I stumble across one. Thanks for any advice you can provide!

Bump for interest. I'm going for either a CZ 75 B Omega or a Glock 19

Go ahead and get the Omega. It's cheaper but the same quality as a good ol' 75 B. Expect to pay around $500 - $550. I wouldn't pay more than $550. Also, should I replace the grips on mine?
I have a CZ75SA from a year or two before the polymer guns came out and the finish has held up pretty well except for one spot I managed to ding because I was really careless in knocking out the front sight which has a pin and then is pushed out the front of the slide which is weird.
If you're going to carry it a full size cz is probably not the way to go but people do it. If you want something for range blasting then consider the SA which should be the same price and has a pretty decent trigger and bigger ambi safety. The downside is it's got a different slide profile so it won't fit in regular 75 holsters.
Stock sights on the 75s are lackluster. The luminescent paint on mine came kind of a real pale yellow/tan instead of the greenish that I've seen pictures of and doesn't glow. SP01s get tritium ones that are nice. The fiber front/blacked rear on the competition ones are slick as hell. If you want to change them yourself you'll need to do some fitting on the front.
I like shooting my CZ more than my glock 19 but the 19 is what I carry and is the better gun for when someone kicks in your door looking to do crimes since you have more magazine size selection and it conceals easier with more holster options.
I don't have any experience with the omega triggers and the only thing I ever did to my glock trigger was change the trigger shoe to the oem smooth one that comes on 17s and 34s and it's totally fine.

The SP01 rubber grips are great if you want it to fill your hand and have some traction.
The G10 grips you can get online are real nice if you want it to be slim. I prefer the most aggressive diamond ones from vz but they're pricey for what they are and I have a hard time recommending them.

....kek.
Also, thanks for the suggestions! From what I'm reading, I'm not seeing any issues with recoil springs in older variants or anything like that, which is good. Plus, an Omega is new enough where I wouldn't encounter that anyway.

Thanks for the info. Should I also get a steel guiderod?

That was worded poorly, yes. By wear, I meant what I might look for in terms of what parts might go bad in a CZ of that age, were I to find somebody looking to sell one.
>>33761598
I wouldn't worry about it.

Not him, but I have an almost as old me '91 Pre B that I have. Only thing I've changed on it was the recoil spring and cleaned the extractor (because I wanted to, I legitimately thought the carbon build up around it was part of the extractor till I started scraping at it.) it's been a reliable gun, even compete with it in Steel Match Challenge.
