Rebility testing is done on my PCR. 500rds and nothing but good shooting. The carry ammo test starts tomorrow. So far this gun is an absolute GEM! I need some advie on 9mm HP ammo I am thinking either 124grn Gold DOT of 124 Golden Sabers. Also does anyone make leather for this shooting iron?

Do a web search for FIST holsters. I have just ordered one for my CZ75, the number 6. You get a top quality custom holster for a very reasonable price. I think, although I do not remember for sure, that Wild Bill's is the other source for CZ holsters, again a top quality supplier.
 
If you want to carry IWB try www.tedblocker.com The LFI rig comes with a velcro lined gunbelt and velcro attachments which means you can infinitely adjust for the angle you prefer and it gives you an extra 2-3" of coverage.

I know he makes holsters for the full size cz 75
 
What price did you guys pay for the CZ75 PCR, I see them advertised in the gun rags but noone seems to quote $.

Thanks

I am looking at a cz75 D compact. The price is $469.00 Is that too high? I don't know if it is a steel or alloy frame - I need to find out because I want an all steel. Is your frame steel or alloy? Did you look at any others before buying cz 75 compact....Say for instance Sig 229.
 
The CZ75D Compact is an all steel pistol, unless it's specified to be alloy framed. Few alloy framed CZ75BD Compact entered the US before CZ USA pulled the plug, they simply didn't sell. People preferred the more common CZ75 Compact. The PCR, essentially a CZ75D Compact alloy frame except with night sights (which hardly glow) and fron slide serrations, is doing better in terms of sales. These can be had for $400 from J&G Sales. I'm sure others carry them too.

I've never liked the CZ75 Compact line. They do have a reputation for being finicky compared to their famed full size cousins. If you do a search you'll find quite a few threads on the CZ75 Compacts.

You really can't compare CZ75 Compacts to SIG Sauers. The P229 has a much nicer finish, the parts are polished and DA/SA pulls are smoother. Yet you're also not paying $689 for a CZ75 Compact either. The CZ75s are thinner, and their DA pull, due to different mechanisms, is quite nice. I'd shoot both and decide based on whatt fits better and what's more accurate for me.

Then there's the issue of preban mags. CDNN used to carry preban mags for the CZ75 Compact and sold them for $65. Last I heard they're out. You can use Springfield P9 and Tanfoglio/Witness, IMI/Tanfoglio mags, however. You just need to adjust the catch hole. These preban mags can be had for about $50. P229 preban 9mm mags are as rare as ice in the Sahara, and mags for the .40 are running well over a $100. I make no mention of ProMags or USA Mags as these have a spotty reputation.

Well I can compare the compacts to sig 229's one of my friends bought a .357 sig one. The cz's are definately more compact. They have a better finish too! I think the DA trigger on the Sigs is a little lighter and they are fine weapons as well but CZ are quality in appearance not just function like the siggs. IMHO (well maybe not that humble)

Shiro,

Not to flame, but have you compared a CZ75 Compact field stripped to a P229? Outwardly the finish might be equal, but the innards on a P229 demonstrate detailed hand finishing. I don't think it's a fair comparison, as I said there's nearly a $300 price difference between the two.

Nope never looked closely inside..but..my full size CZ-75b (steel frame)is extremely accurate and has never jamed since I bought it ..only 350 or so rounds so far :D What more could you ask for???

Ohh I forgot for another $200 you can get the best .22 conversion unit I've ever seen...way better than the Ciener convesions and shoot .22 until your sick without killing your wallet.

so for a little over $600 I can shoot 9mm and .22 and it's very accurate in both calibers.

The PCR should go for around $400. If the gun says CZ75 D compact, look on the right side just foward of the ejection port. If it says Mdl PCR its and alloy frame gun. I compared the instead of my PCR and sig 228. The CZ has a few more machining marks but not much. The outside finish in much more durable than standard Sig blue. I love my Sigs but they are not worth 250 extra bucks. The CZ compact is a great gun
