Hey CZ guys
Thought y’all might be able to figure out and appreciate why I’m pretty excited about this gun trade I’m making next week.
I also have a CGW massaged Shadow coming in next week.
They should both play nicely with the rest of the family.

Re: Hey CZ guys
Very nice and you have a Dan Wesson too. Here is mine, still looking for a CZ 83 though.

Re: Hey CZ guys
I do like the DW. It’s a 9mm which makes purists wince but it is an outstanding shooter.
Did you catch what’s unusual about the compact in the first picture?

I don't see it 74novaman, the suspense is killing me though.

Re: Hey CZ guys
I'm not seeing it either. I have 4 CZs - 97BD, 85 Combat, pre-B 75, and 2075 RAMI D. The RAMI is close in size to your Compact 75. Guess I'm not familiar enough with the Compact to notice what's special about it.

Re: Hey CZ guys
This is an unusual one. Most compact 75s with a safety have steel frames. CZ makes alloy compact frames for the P-01 and PCR but those are both decocker guns. There are 3 variants that have a safety and an alloy frame, all fairly hard to find. The factory sold some P-02s and Compact Ls built that way to the US, and built some compacts like this one for a contract with Israel. Some of the Izzy guns got surplused out and sold to the US, including this one. It’s a PCR alloy frame, with a safety and a standard short rail 75 compact upper instead of a decocker and full rail slide the PCRs usually have. You don’t often see alloy framed safety equipped CZs (except the omegas now) so I was excited about it.

Very nice, congrats, and nice family too. My P-09 is currently my favorite pistol.

Re: Hey CZ guys
Anyone who says that isn't a "purist", they're a wannabe. The original caliber for the Commander was 9mm. Also, it was originally an aluminum frame, just like your Guardian. Later, when Colt came out with a steel framed version (still 9mm) the original aluminum framed pistol was renamed "Lightweight Commander".
My Guardian is .45, as is my V-Bob.

Re: Hey CZ guys
I like the 09s a lot. Surprising capacity for such a slim grip. I prefer shooting the metal framed guns but the P-09 carries very well.SpringerFan wrote: ↑Sat Jun 30, 2018 6:20 pm Very nice, congrats, and nice family too. My P-09 is currently my favorite pistol.
