I have a full sized and a compact. I carry the compact.

Good looking sidearm. Is that a manual safety, or decocker, or just for carrying cocked and locked? (I don't own any CZ pistols) That is a safety. The "BD" models have a decocker. ETA: The SP01 (railed full sized) with a "Tactical" nomenclature means they come with a decocker, where as the standard SP01's come with a safety. As far as the compacts go, the "CZ 75 Compact" is a steel framed version with a safety, and the P01 (rail) and CZ75D (no rail) are alloyed framed versions with decockers. |

Nice choice, personally, I prefer the CZ-75 but the ex got that in the divorce. |

My glock 19 will be my carry weapon for a while, at least until I get proficient with the CZ. If I do carry it I think I'll carry go hammer down with one in the chamber. |

Then IMO this sidearm is indeed truly full of win.

Part of me wishes that they offered a safety and a decocker the way some pistols do. But with the USP series, in theory, if you ride the safety down in the heat of the moment, you could push it too far down and decock it. I like how the P30S has a safety lever that only acts as a safety, and a separate decocker on the rear of the gun. But at the same time, that is a lot of clutter. So I guess maybe it is better the way it is. |

Nice grips. I wish there was more options for the compact line.

Ordered a stainless 75B for a customer the other day. I was thoroughly impressed. Now I can't decide if I want a P226 or a 75B more... decisions, decisions .While I may be a tad biased, for the price of a factory P226 you could get a CZ 75 and work done at CZCustom or Cajon Gun Works and have a firearm that will blow the Sig out of the water. |

go to Cajun gun works website Become broke but happy I liked my CZ when I bought it. It was a good shooter. 
Liked it so much I bought a P01 to go along with it. 
Then I Cajunized the SA and it became my favorite pistol. 
I'm in the process of doing the same to the P-01. Drove the slave pin too far and disassembled the sear cage, and it's a PITA to get back together properly. I should try to get around to finishing it next week. If I can find the time....

I have a CZ75 stainless matte. I think I still have a block of black and white ebony, so one of these days I am going to make a set of grips like this:
Which is a pic I stole off an image google search. It leads back to the high road forum and all their photobucket links in posts are just that, links, no actual pics. |

Not anymore unfortunately. A CZ will run you around $600... add $100 to add night sights (required on carry/SD gun). You can get your mitts on an NIB P226 that will come with good night sights for $700 if you are patient. I miss $400 CZs... the rest of you fuckers had go discover em and make em expensive.   At the end of the day though, I will state that a mildly worked over CZ is almost better in every way than a P226, except weight. All of my CZs are scarily accurate, and no matter how much you shoot them, they seem to stay that way. My poor SA has over 70K rounds through it now, and it will still tear out the middle of a target at 10 yards with minimal work from me. OP, as far as holsters.. FIST Kydex are my favorite, they are the only ones that seem to get the design just right so that the gun fits like a glove... Bladetechs are fair, but will require some break in. The Crossbreed CZ model was crap, I ended up sending mine back and getting a model for a Glock. This is not a sleight against Crossbreed in any way, I love the company, the CZ holster just didn't work very well for my SA model, due to the larger safeties. |

Does anybody know if there is a source for spur hammers that will work with the "B" models? |

Yep, I remember buying a 75B for $385 about a decade ago or more. I wish they were less expensive. I sold that 75B to a friend for more than I paid for it. I now only have a P-09. I'd like to get a P-07 sometime soon. Eventually an SP01. |

What holsters do you recommend? For my Glock 19 I use a crossbreed supertuck for CCW and a blade tech for range and someday competition. My CZ75 seems to fit well in my Milt Sparks VM2 for a Sig P220. That's with the factory sights. I'm having FO sights put on so I can't comment on that arrangement yet. You might give HBE Specialty Leatherworks a call. |
