needs more ammo
Surely you didn’t mean tritium sights and grips, so you must mean LCIs.
Other gun makers besides CZ put LCIs you can feel on their centerfire pistols. I prefer the extended nub on an extractor like on a Glock, but I don’t mind the nipple on the CZ PCR either.
Of course, the nub or nipple type of LCI is easier to feel with bare fingers. Not exactly useful for the knee pad, elbow pad, and glove wearing shooter. Considering I don’t sleep in pads and gloves in my own bed at home, and pistols are used by many for home defense, well . . .

I don’t need an LCI but I don’t find the presence of one personally offending
Or safeties, manual or magical. Alas, operator error continues to plague us, and of course you aren't considering those who go in harms way and must ensure that they are loaded and ready to engage threats.

Getting back to CZs, I finally got around to switching out the grips on my P01. Have had these for a couple of years now. They were a Christmas present from one of my kids and got stored away when we moved. Dug them out and put them on and think they look and feel great!

I have owned a CZ 75D compact for a couple years now and need to get rid of it. It is plenty reliable and very well built but the trigger is way too close to the grip for my big hands and the very curved trigger always pinches my trigger finger against the frame. I do really like the decocker which is the same functionality as my Beretta 92 that I learned on.
It is great to hear it has a large audience of loyal fans... the gun just doesn't work for me. Hopefully I will be able to trade for something that works better for me.

Convert it to single action only.
Wow! Not many people find the CZ reach to short. Lol! The new style recurve trigger pinches my finger too, if that’s what in your gun. The older style trigger is better IMO, and will increase the reach a bit. The best trigger is the CGW SA flat blade. Will require converting to SA only, which is simple

Wow, love the nice bluing on your CZ 75B as well as the polished shiny stainless of your other CZ.
I'm a thinking that the all green P01 would be more of an acquired taste. I could see it if it had a blued or black finished slide to go with a green frame; that would be okay. But the total green look is not all that appealing to me!

These blued 75s were supposedly a small run back in '13. I bought two of them from Bud's as the first one arrived and I loved it. They were still in stock, so I ordered another. The finish on the one that goes to the range has held up very well.. I don't baby it at all and it barely shows any wear. I'd heard the shiny and matte stainless 75s were going to be discontinued, so I got a shiny one while I could.
This may be all wrong, but I was told CZ makes green P-01s that are sold to NATO security and occasionally the overruns become available. All P-01s have the NATO stock number engraved on the side of them, but the green ones are the real deal.

I got a reply back from Jacob Cheney at CZ-USA on the green finished guns:
"The green models were generally intended for a different market. I believe they were usually for military contracts."

If CZ ever brings back the polished SS or blued 75 don’t get between me and it or you might get run over.
I passed on both when I had the chance and I’m kicking myself for it now

I had a refinished 75D Compact for years that I got at a good price. It's a sweet shooting gun. I let it go when other interests were enticing me away. The only ones I can find now are brand new and twice what I paid for my old one. I did find a good deal on a used 85B 9mm last week though. So, my CZ needs are satisfied for now.
If you can find one, Tristar imports the Canik C-100, which is an excellent clone.
My 85b,

If I wanted SAO I would buy another 1911. What I liked about the CZ75D compact is the SA/DA with decocker, just like my Beretta 92!

You might like it more than a 1911. Just a hunch.

Can't go SAO on a D model.
Not all P01 have the NSN, I believe they haven't in several years.
Love me some PCRs, got 2 of them, both with worked over triggers.
Just got back a fairly rare compact steel framed decocker from hard chrome.

It will be a while, had to send it back.
The barrel in this one is about 1/8 inch longer, doesn't sound like a big deal til you add the undersized barrel bushing.
They gave the barrel a nice target crown but forgot to cut it down.

But doesn’t cure the pain, or else you wouldn’t have posted that. Am I right?
Let me help if I can. $300 then is $465 today so if you see a used one for $600 dollars it’s only $387 in yesterday’s dollars
(2001 dollar value inflated to today’s value, just so everyone knows how I came to those numbers)

I took mine to the range yesterday (pictured in an earlier post in this thread) and I was impressed. I put about 100 rounds of mixed every kind of loose ammo I had laying around here, both factory and reload, HP and FMJ and it performed without a bobble. As bad a shot as I am, I was able to hit the target a few times. Actually I hit it more than a few times. I actually managed to impress myself that maybe I'm not as bad as I think I am.
I liked the gun so much that I stopped by the LGS and put a 75-D, PCR on layaway. I've got some plastic stuff here in the safe that never gets used. It might as well go on down the road.

I only own one CZ. A Shadow 2 Orange I bought new about a year ago. Love shooting it, which I do quite a bit, at least weekly. I'm very impressed with CZ.

Always wanted a P01 in green.
