I added a switch in series with the neg terminal on the battery pack and the neg terminal on the cz, used small amounts of electrical tape for isolation. Taking the pack out after use was a pain, now I can flip the toggle on or off and tuck it back into the battery compartment, no drilling or soldering.

You mean that the CZ7 doesn't have an on/off switch? Wow!!! Remind me to never buy one of those.

Clever and simple switch though...good thinking.

yes it does, BUT it still uses juice to hold the memory, so I had to take care of that nonsense, only takes 10 secs to reprogram.
