The weak point may be the CZ USA organization. I've dealt with them a couple of times and they're pretty pathetic.
How so? I've dealt with their Customer Service, and they've sent me parts for free. They wouldn't even take shipping costs.The weak point may be the CZ USA organization. I've dealt with them a couple of times and they're pretty pathetic.
I have a bunch of CZs of various types and the few times I've contacted CZ-USA for anything - info, spare parts, gun availability, and one warranty issue - they've been great. Once I didn't get what I was looking for, spoke with a manager, and they took great care of me going beyond my original expectations.The weak point may be the CZ USA organization.

Well there are two Cabela's near me. Each one only has one.
But I have an update. I did manage to find a Kadet!!!!!!!
I have had absolutely nothing but good service and friendly attitude from CZ-USA.The weak point may be the CZ USA organization. I've dealt with them a couple of times and they're pretty pathetic.

As I recall, I had to go back and forth between their parts guys and a manager to resolve a relatively minor parts problem.How so? I've dealt with their Customer Service, and they've sent me parts for free. They wouldn't even take shipping costs.
You might like the guns from the CZ predecessor company, BRNO. They had the Model 1, Model 2, Model 3, Model 4, and Model 5. However, there was that deviously-named Model 3S thrown in there just to confuse the non-communists. But at least, like the others, the 3S was a bolt action and still very simply constructed.As I recall, I had to go back and forth between their parts guys and a manager to resolve a relatively minor parts problem.
I was never impressed with CZ as a company.
For example, their model designations always seemed more complicated than they had to be. Want to buy a 9mm Glock. It's either large (G17), medium (G19), or small (G26). Simple.
I decided to buy a compact 9mm CZ. Turns out that CZ sells an alloy framed compact 9mm as the Compact D in Europe and the identical gun in the US as the P01. Took me a bit of research to find out that these two guns are identical. Why two different names for the same gun?
Went to my LGS and found only the Compact D for sale - the one that CZ supposedly sells only outside the US.
They also sell the Compact which sounds like IT might be the same as the Compact D, but it isn't. - the frame material is different. Then, there is the PCR, yet another compact 9mm.
When I deal with CZ, I get the feeling that I'm dealing with a former communist enterprise that has not fully transitioned to the free market.
I get the same impression when I disassemble a CZ. Seems much more complicated than it needs to be.
Bottom line, there are hardly any CZ's around it seems. I went to a CZ dealer in town....one CZ P-07. Went to another, they have a few, .45, SS Polished 75 (not for sale?), P-07, Russian commemorative edition and the P-01. Went to another dealer....none, but they did have a P-01 used for like $40 less than new.
