Great collection, but I don't think the midnight green shows authentic on my tablet. Please ship it to me so I can get a better look and feel for it! :P O0

From what I have read from Pazdera's book, the first prototype appeared at the end of 1989 and was partly inspired by the Tanfoglio Baby model. It was known as Model 90 Compact. By the following year, the firing pin block had been added to the prototypes and was called "?Z 75 COMPACT-b CAL. 9 Luger". In the end, the name was simplified to just "CZ 75 Compact" and production began in 1992. Who knows what non-fpb Compact models actually and still exist out there? This is what one might have/sort of looked like...a Springfield P9C (via Tanfoglio) (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161211/7083fc7b2a9ab0fcfdb6214f6aeae3ca.jpg)

Post by: Psyop96 on December 11, 2016, 05:57:10 PM: Who knows if some client might have ordered a special batch without FPB back in the day....like the decocker on steel variant, etc.? You'd be the one to find them! [emoji846]
