Kinda hard to find CZ aluminum compact! Always wanted a PCR but preferred manual safetys, so this was worth the wait for me:)
The mini 14 belongs in another forum, so ignore the factory folder!

nice !!! just got the same pistol on sat 10/10 ... drove 208 miles round trip for it because no one in my area had it ... well worth the trip I also have its big brother CZ 75 B .... :D
 
No idea why, perhaps its the extra parts for the decocker, or the cost of the alloy frame, but the standard 75 compact is a lot less coin than a PCR/P-01.

Nice pickup, I've been contemplating one for my CZ collection myself.
 
Thanks guys! The guy that Cerakoted the gun had pins in the wrong place, lost the hammer pin retainer, it was a mess! But I got it back together correctly;) Shoots as good as my CZ 75B-SA!
 
Nice.
My friend got a CZ-75 and showed it to me once. It felt as finely crafted as a Swiss watch. Really blew me away.
 
Nice find and good to hear that it's back in working order.

The trigger pin was in the mag brake top hole, keeping the grips from going flush in the back, cant believe the previous owner didn't complain after picking it up.:D
 
Looks just like my all steel Compact, it's a pretty awesome pistol. I've been looking for an IWB kydex holster so I can CCW, but not having much luck. Congrats on your find.
 
I recently picked up a standard steel 75 Compact, and then later in the week came across a used Tristar C100 (basically, an alloy 75 Compact.) They both shoot great, but the Tristar is about 6 oz. lighter.
 
As much as I love my CZs, these Caniks are giving CZ a run for their money. Whoever is doing the machining and fitting in the CZ factory needs to take some pointers from the Canik guys.
It's real hard spending twice for the CZ when it can be done for the same if not better for half the price. If the CZ clones get the right aftermarket support, CZ better watch their bums.

At $364, the Tristar is where CZ was priced at 10 years ago, they too will get greedy:D

It looks like the grips already would fit.... I need some VZs when I can afford them for my compact!
 
very nice gun! sure you will enjoy it! I have the one w/the decocker an love it! Why is it that the decocker model is less liked, price,trigger pull,just an extra thing to mess up?
 
I've shot the alloy-framed decockers and have had a couple of steel-frame Compacts. I don't like decockers, if I have an alternative, and found the Compact a bit heavier than seemed justified. An alloy-framed COMPACT with safety seems like the best of both worlds. I've only seen one OTHER one until recently. They have been available with the Omega trigger on the CZ Custom Shop.

Maybe, when the time is right, I'll get an alloy-framed Compact...

Just a preference on my part. I have no problem manually lowering the hammer on a loaded chamber, so a decocker is not important to me.

I had a P01, but didn't care for the rail, bulky nose and heavier slide. This pistol is perfect! Or will be when the VZ grips are purchased:)
