Widener's has CZ75 transitionals.

I was looking at CZ's at Widener's and noticed that the CZ that is listed as a "CZ 75 2" seems to be a transitional. First of all, do you think that they actually are transitionals and that they have more of the same in stock? And second, what parts of a transitional are Pre-B and what parts are B compatible?

afaik, CZ never used the 75 2 to describe its guns.
the term "transition" is most likey someone came up with to describe the various and probably numerous versions between the 75 and B. Like some other mfg, CZ probably makes their guns in batches and have the parts in bins. Same for when the M1 Garands were rebuilt. Parts were thrown into bins and pulled from them too. So, from what i understand about "Transition" is that its a gun with a mix match of parts. Part thats could be from a Pre B or B. there isnt any requirements other then a mixing of parts. Its not to say either that it someone couldnt make a "Transition" if they wanted to either. Also, if you go to the CZ forum (not the one here) you will see a sticky at the top describing the "transition" CZs.
If you look at the pictures, you will see the dif. The frame and hammer is a B, the safety and SR isnt. Dont know about the trigger. it also appears to have the fatter upper w/o the roll pin. Just google for pics on the 75 and 75b and look for yourself.
afa parts difference. ? idk.

Here's mine:
It's got a B frame and hammer. It's got an earlier trigger, slide stop, and safety lever.
It's a fantastic pistol. I like it better than the B models. I'd check up on magazines, I've heard of issues with newer mags and older guns. I just got a stack of original 15's with mine, so I haven't gone looking.
Mine came very weakly sprung and I hear that's also very common. A Wolff recoil spring and mag springs cleaned it right up.

They have a mix of features pre-B and B like the gun above that has a B style frame, ribbed slide & pinned front sight but not a B firing pin retainer pin.
CZ also sold ( 2004 ) what is referred to as a retro which was a B pistol with smooth top slide, round trigger guard and spur hammer.
