Steel frame compact question

[Walt Sherrill]

I think the steel-framed Compact is noticeably heavier than the alloy-framed models.  After carrying one for a while, I realized that it wasn't that much smaller or lighter than a full-size model.

I continue wonder why CZ doesn't offer an full-size alloy-framed 75B -- I think that might be the best of both designs for man shooters, and would certainly be strong competition for the SIG P-series guns, most of which have alloy frames.   An alloy-framed semi-compact (full-size frame and compact slide would be an interesting option, too.   Some might prefer a shorter grip and a longer slide, so that would be a different type of semi-compact, but I haven't seen or heard of one of THOSE variants.

CZ has slipped out a couple semi-compacts in steel, and a forum member   had one some years ago; he may still have it.

The steel frame compact feels a lot heavier to me.  I've got two, one railed and one non railed.  They both are excellent shooters, but the p 01 omega is a lot easier to carry.  And the p 10c is even easier to carry than the omega.

 Looks like you bought a steel.  Time to start looking for an alloy frame so you can decide for yourself which you prefer.

I really do not notice the weight difference between a steel framed P-01 and the polymer framed P-07 when carrying concealed.

Same here.  I usually only notice the difference in weight when they are field stripped and I pick the frame up.  Then it hits me how light the aluminum frame feels.

Some CZ75 Compacts look like P01's but have steel frames.



After that production run CZ turned around and shipped out a bunch of compacts labeled P01 on the slide but still used that steel/railed P01 looking frame.

CZ - they do different things and mix it up much more than other gun companies.

M1A4ME,
What the slide says on the side? (hard to see it on picture)
Is it  CZ75-Compact?

Mine is also a Czech made in 2003, no manual safety, a decocker and alloy frame.

I have completely given up on the idea of “figuring out” CZ’s entire lineup as it stands at this moment.  Forget about figuring out it’s historical stuff.
