Hi All!
My name is Tim, I'm from Ontario Canada. I picked up my transitional CZ75 Pre B last year right before Trudeau froze all handgun sales and transfers. Up until yesterday I had no idea exactly what it was.
When it was sold to me, the paperwork said CZ 75 Shadow. The owners manual that came with it says CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow.
Looking at pictures online and finding the stamp on the inside of the gun, I've determined its a 1992 Pre B Transitional Model.
I will post pictures here shortly.
Also, there is no stamp behind the extractor in that little notch, but I found the stamp 392 on the inside of the slide on the handle side. Assuming thats the plant it was made at (3) and the year is twas made(92)

Howdy & Welcome to the Forum from Texas!
You definitely have a CZ 75 Pre-B (Definitely NOT a Shadow!), but a later version.
The original versions had a round trigger guard. The later versions had the type shown in your photo.
The date of manufacturer on CZ pistols is a 2-digit number on the right hand side just before the chamber opening.
Numbers (and in some cases symbols) on the inside of the slide are internal to track who worked on the piece.
No definitive decoding of those numbers or symbols have been done in the owner community.
Here is a link to a more correct manual for your pistol: https://cz-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/cz75_en.pdf (https://cz-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/cz75_en.pdf) in PDF format.
You do understand that Pre-B means no hammer block is installed so the gun is not drop safe?
Enjoy shooting it safely!
