CZ 75 B

[kawtech87]

Kawtech that P01 is a beauty! How does it mechanically differ from the 75s?

Not much at all really. Infact, Im pretty sure its mechanically identical to a 75 compact.

Basically its just a compact version with some updates like a full length guide rod, light rail, decocker and an alloy frame.

The P-01 is also the newest sidearm issued to the Czech Military and police.

Infact the CZ 75B and variants of it (all made by CZ) are the most issued pistols in the world.

Over 60 countries issue some variant of the CZ 75. The P-01 just happens to be the newest to get NATO approval.

Do you see the white numbers on the right side?

That is not the serial number, that is the NSN or NATO Stock Number. All P-01s have that number stamped on them. It means that gun can pass the NATO pistol trials, and is real world combat proven.

I have 2 CZ 75 Pre Bs, bought when they were not available in the US years ago and VERY EXPENSIVE , a P07 and a Witness in 10mm. I've had 75Bs and always let them get away, one had a 22 Conversion Unit with it too. I'd like the get a 75B or an 85 in 2 tone. Also would like a 97, I have a half dozen CZ 452s and a 527 Varmint/Target in 223. Everything CZ makes is good IMO.

Good to know, thanks for the overwhelming vote of confidence! I'll start calling around.

That will be the hardest part. Finding one. I hope you have good luck with that.

My P-01 is all metal with rubber grips, My SP-01 Phantoms are polymer.

After a very long search for the "right" 9mm for me, I finally landed on the 75B. I put the Hogue finger grooves on my blued model. It is not only beautiful to me but she shoots better than she looks. IMHO, dollar for dollar, it is the finest 9mm you can buy. I also have a 75 compact and an 82. I also had an 83 but sold it. There was no use in having a .380I wouldn't trade any of them for anything. I would love to get a 97 someday.

Haha thanks, I could always use the luck. Found it at a few stores during the gun show but wasnt ready to buy. Only one of those stores is close to me.

I own a 75BD and a SP-01 Shadow and love them both. I'd like a 75 Shadow next but they are impossible to find as well.

If you can't find a CZ locally I highly recommend calling CZCustom, they don't have all inventory listed on their site as they usually advertise stock on a few forums first.

 

[kazaam]

Thanks for the info! I emailed them and he said they're also wondering when they'll get some SS stock in, lol! He said hed keep my email and let me know when some came in.

Try KS&E on Pendleton Pike. Ed rarely has many guns in stock but has gotten me and my friends every CZ we ever asked for. Plus he gives a pretty good discount on CZ stuff. Just got my 527 Varmint/Target from him a few weeks back.

 

[kazaam]

Nice! Thanks for that info, thats definitely doable, pretty close actually. I'll check that out tomorrow.

Yeah, that's a common problem. They listed about 15 various 75 and SP01 models in the czforum and within 6 hours they were all gone. My birthday is coming up and hopefully something cool will come in.

I'd like a Kadet kit
Dan Wesson PM9
CZ 75 Shadow T

I have very expensive tastes apparently, but I didn't consider the PM9 until I shot my dad's Les Baer custom today and really like a 1911.

 

[kazaam]

I wish i could afford the shadow! Looks wicked...good luck!

Tell him Mark sent ya. He has an in at CZ and has never failed me yet. It sometimes takes a couple weeks or so but he normally gets what I want.

Perfect, thanks again! I'm curious if he'll actually be able to get it, almost no where has this damn gun.

Another place to check out is: Damascus Gun Shop

I got my 85 Combat from him, and he was great to deal with.

Love those grips! You are clearly a man of refined and discriminating tastes.

I love my CZ Shadows and VZ grips.

Grrrr you had to show those again. I thought I was done with looking at handguns for a minute. Maybe I will just get the grips for my compact. I really love all the CZs in this thread. OP buy the 75 as you can see there is a faithful following that will take it off you if you don't like it

 

[blamecharles]

Also check Plainfield Shooting Supplies and Indy Trading Post I have seen more CZs at these two than anywhere else in Indy area.

I have an order in on a 75 Shadow right now, with all of the competition trimmings/goodies from CZ Custom. I'm told that stock is expected in the next thirty days...YMMV (and crossing my fingers).

I picked up a used 75bd around a month ago from P.S.S. It is spotless, with Houge grips and night sights. Check out the original CZ Forum, I just bought a fully customized SP-01 Shadow from there. Good luck!
