[ARCHIVED THREAD] - CZ75 SAO available? (Page 1 of 2)

| Anyone know of somewhere that has the SAO available online? |

Quoted:
Yes there are frame/slide changes, which can make finding holsters a drag. When I do this I'm going to get another SP01 and convert it. |

JM Custom Kydex makes CZ SAO holsters. Quoted:

Anyone make holsters for this thing? Perhaps the "Shadow" holsters will work? KT Mech can also make them, they tend to be my go-to kydex and I contacted them yesterday to see. I'll post up a few pics once I get it and how the fit is |

Local range had one in stock last time I was there.
Ted's Gun Range in Queen Creek, AZ. Really dislike the ambi safety on the 75-SA, the starboard side lever pinches my hand. I do like the larger 1911ish safety though. Anyone make a single sided 75SA style safety for one of these? |

I just bought one yesterday, Gunsdirect in Burbank CA had one left when I left the store yesterday.
They are both 9mm CA models with 10 round mags. I think I've found MY pistol, after years of looking for one that speaks to me and feels just right, there is a potential, I'll know more in 10 days, lol. For sure the plastic grips suck, most likely a nice set of wood will replace them. But it's got a retro flare with modern influences, and quick to point etc, looks good. Being a lefty, the ambi safety is nice and yes the beaver tail is more pronounced than a regular B, and upswept vs down. I look at the SA as a more discreet half price TS, and possibly (for my hand) better than the hi power. Very excited, hope you find one! I think they are a great value. **edit, saw you scored a 10mm short, congrats!! |

I got my first 75 SAO ten years ago in 2007. It almost immediately became and continues to be my favorite pistol by far. I've actually sold off some other brands of pistols and now have three 75 SAOs. |

I'm filthy with 1911 grips but no CZ spares.  I got these off Amazon they are Pachmyar grips and are relatively inexpensive but great quality. |

Nice!! What has been your experience in parts needs, tips and mods? Thx It's been pretty much flawless. I switched out the grips maybe five years ago or so for the thin aluminum grips with grip tape on them. Up until a year ago when I replaced the sights the pistol was completely stock and I was quite happy with it that way. It probably has less than 5k rounds through the 9mm top end, maybe more, I'm just guessing. I use a Kadet on it a lot. The past couple years I bet I haven't put 100 rounds of 9mm through it. But the pistol has fired many, many tens of thousands of rimfire rounds. Never needed any spare parts for the pistol. Slide stop is the supposed to be the weak link; if I ever do have one break I'll just pull a spare from another gun. |
