I had my hands on one of these in brushed stainless with night sights, yesterday, and all I can say is that it was just plain awesome! I just wish the price tag wasn't so steep at about $800 and that the "limited" version was still available and NJ legal.

 

 

All I can say is that I want one, and I hope Santa is listening.

 

What would be really neat is if they came out with a stainless limited compact.

$800 is pretty steep for that model, you can find them usually in the $600 range.

 

I am always for forum vendors, so I would price quote them first and see if they can get their hands on it. But if they can't get you one, order it off GB. I just did a quick search and they are priced around $650.

 

If I were to get another 75b, I would get the dual-tone. GOD I love two-tone models. I'd get another set of grips made by Hakan and be set. The stainless and the nickel are really nice though as well.

I think the limited version with the factory night sights and the stainless magazines is more, if one can even be located.... Hands down, i prefer the all stainless. I wish you could get a "black" stainless model. I wonder if there is any way that they can make one. Now that would be the ultimate for me. The Glock tennifer finish would also be neat. I am not a big fan of the two-toned ones, myself, but I cannot say I would be sad if I had one.

 

This is on my wish list, but I would imagine a divorce would also be on it.

Yeah, true. I did not take the sights and magazine into account.

 

Speaking of this, what is the difference between nickel and SS?

I've already hinted to my brother and nephews who live in Norway,that I would like a pair of Hakan's cherry grips for Christmas instead of my usual shipment of cheese,polse and Aquavit. We'll see.

No lutefisk?

Best of luck that you get them! He is a master crafstmen and does amazing work.

 

Here are mine:

 

Did you check the price at Buds Gun Shop before you ordered it?

Buy anywhere else before you buy from Bud's.

I have purchased four or five guns from them and had nothing but good experiences with Buds. My only complaint is that they often wait a few days before shipping. To Andres' point though, I would rather patronize a local businessman if the pricing is competitive.

No lutefisk?

 

The only Norwegians who still choose to eat Lutefisk are 3 generation Americans living in the mid west. Norwegians consider it to be a quaint and inedible throwback to leaner times.

Your picture which you've posted before convinced me to go with wood grips when I ordered my 75b,I'm glad I did,it just adds a classy element to the gun.

I wouldn't doubt that you have had positive experiences, I haven't really heard any bad reviews on them. But it's the fact that they are really hurting dealers, especially our local friends. Plus they supposedly never touch the guns, they just drop ship them from warehouses. I always try to support locally, but if I can't or they don't have what I want, I buy off Gunbroker the most. I'd rather give my money to another gun enthusiast or small gun shop instead of Bud's.

I first heard of lutefisk on Zimmern's show 'Bizzare Foods' on the travel channel. MAN did that stuff look bad, I couldn't imagine eating it.

 

Knowing that, it kind of sounds like Foster's beer. Apparently no one in Australia drinks it, and they hate when Americans ask for it because it's "the Aussie" beer.

Thanks for the compliment! I fully agree, the element wood grips add to a 75b, or even any CZ pistol, is indescribable.

Speaking of this, what is the difference between nickel and SS?

 

I believe nickel is nickel plated, while stainless is stainless through and through. The regular stainless has the sights that stay lit if you shine a flashlight on them while the limited has true night sights.

 

Also, I believe that the two-toned one is the alloy frame. I would prefer stainless steel. It's only drawback is that it is quite a flashy and visible for defensive situations, but for a range gun, it would be awesome.

I believe that the Limited Stainless also came with a match trigger.

The two toned one is actually the high carbon steel frame, with silver polycoat and the slide is carbon steel with black polycoat. That's what gives it the two-tone look. Only the compact PCR/PO-<N> come in the alloy frame.

 

The nickel plating is really nice and I like how it looks, very low glare and I've heard it wears really nicely. I saw one in person and it reminded me of the Tangfolio "Wonderfinish" which I like a lot too.

 

Stainless is stainless steel with no coating - just stainless steel polished and in the nude. They make 2 versions of the stainless - matte (low-glare) or polished (like a mirror). The Limited has the special "brushed" finish which isn't offered on any other model.

 

I believe that the Limited Stainless also came with a match trigger.

 

Negative, just a stock CZ 75B trigger. Honestly, for $800, you can get the matte stainless CZ 75B from CZ Custom for around $625. Add $160 for a custom trigger job and competition hammer install before they ship it to you and for < $800, you have an gun that's sweeter than the Limited. Add a few bucks and you have night sights too. The stainless models all have the updated frame style with up swept beaver tail. Also, the "Limited" isn't all that limited...CZ made a bunch of them so they won't be a collectors piece in the future.
