As to durability the polished is supposed to be tougher down the road. Both have rubber grips which i like. The ambidextrous safety is even better.
Thanks!I've had several Satin Nickel CZs, and one for 10+ years. It's a very durable finish; no nicks, scratches, etc., with much use. You will have to use Flitz, once in a while, to clean up the finish in the hand-held area. (Flitz is recommended by CZ-UDA; very little abrasive action.)
I prefer it to the other finishes, and to stainless steel -- although the stainless models have some features (like reversible mag release, and ambi safeties) not available on the standard 75B.
