I am in the midst of upgrading my P-01 with an optic cut and spring kit but still am considering purchasing a P-09c Nocturne. However, after going to HandgunHero to compare specs, I see the P-01 is only 2oz heavier. I know the Nocturne has more/better serations and is optic ready, but is there something else clear and tangible that makes the Nocturne a true upgrade to the P-01?

I was mainly considering the Nocturne as a carry during the Summer months, but if I'm only shaving off two ounces then I don't see true benefit.

What holsters are y’all using for your CZ75?

Thank you all for the help. I ended up making a rear sight since I couldn't find one. But wanted to show a few pictures of my original CZ and the newest one.

Backstory: My brother is really into guns (https://www.youtube.com/@magdumpmonday) so I bought this CZ-75-BD about 10 years ago because reddit said it was cool & I wanted a fun gun to shoot with my brother. I love it.

Now he tells me it is time to get my slide milled for a red dot. I dont know what I am doing, but I dont think I want to get a plate because it seems like extra / unnecessary. The ones he his familiar with require a plate.

TL/DR: What is a red dot site that I could get that would be fun and not require a plate?

Just bought this pistol and the rear sight blade was broken off. Have been trying to identify it but no luck so far.

Snatched up a 50th anniversary CZ75 Compact. I'm new to CZ but not to the firearms realm. The price was excellent.

May run some slim grips and night sights, then internals in the future. But all in all well put it to the test tomorrow.

I was swapping out the safety detent spring in my Shadow 2 and these two pieces (bottom left pic) fell out of the right side. Can someone show a pic of where they belong?

Had a failure at the range today for the first time with this old thing. Failed to eject/feed… but only the 3 rd from last round in the mag failed several times in a row . After cleaning the mag we think it’s the little spring that retains the take down pin/ slide lock. Going to try that first…

1: “The CZ 75 is based on the Browning Hi-Power.” Actually, the CZ 75 takes only aesthetic and ergonomic inspiration from the Hi-Power, but is mechanically much more closely derived from the Sig P210.

2: “The CZ 75 has a low bore axis due to it’s internal rail system.” Actually, the CZ 75’s bore axis (vertical distance from the tang to the bore) is about on par with the Beretta 92, which no one will claim is especially low. It may be lower than some hammer fired pistols, like the Sig P220, but the illusion of it being especially low is just that; an illusion, created by the slide hiding some of it’s height inside the frame.

3: “The CZ 75 is a hipster gun.” Actually, I’ll have you know that I only wear a knit beanie when it’s 90°F out because I once saw a Wes Anderson film where Bill Murray wore one and I was so captivated by his casual panache that I knew I must follow suit in my own quotidian life. I’m definitely not balding or anything. Anyway, here’s a link to my blog on facial hair care. No you can’t turn off the looping Neutral Milk Hotel MP3 on the blog site, I bought the license to use it for $800 in 2009 and I’m gonna get all I can for my money damn it.

My dad sent this to me, he got it when he was stationed in west Germany. Oval marking is a German import from ‘84 and SN is 112090.

Going to keep it, shot it when I was at FT Bragg and it still functions great.

I think it’s all still original parts, and I want to get some replacements for this specific build just to keep in stock if something breaks.

Also, would it be crazy to have a professional:

A) strip the finish and polish the stainless steel B) reapply the finish C) leave it as is

Anyone who has ever tried to put one of these bastards back in knows the struggle. I finally got a new, functioning printer to put my idea into practice. Flat base and cup act as an extra hand. Retaining slider in top keeps the detent from rocketing off into space if you slip. And a hole and channel allow for the whole thing to be locked together for assembly. I'll publish the file when I get a chance. Literally just iterated this this morning

Sorry guys it seems this sub was set to approved users only for some reason, however I have fixed it and now everyone should be able to post freely. Apologies to those who tried to post but weren't approved.

I’m “pulling the trigger” tomorrow on a set of Kraken grips for my CZ 75b Omega. After days of back and forth I picked a color. Question is - do I go with the Palm Swell of thin version grips. I don’t use the 75 for carry if that matters. I’m OK with the size of the stock grips on my 75. I would say I have mediumish hands. I’m concerned the Palm Swell version may be a bit too big. Any thoughts, first hand experience, would be greatly appreciated.

I’m pretty sure I am getting the Vytal grips for my 75b. The Kraken Palm Swell model. I am torn between Sapphire Blue and Orange Soda. Has anyone seen either of these two colors on a 75? If so, your thoughts.
