Was looking on centerfire’s website they have beat up preB and transitional CZ75s with pics for each. They look rattle can sprayed and have seen a lot of service but are on sale and priced reasonably (for the year 2022). May be a nice refinish project for someone.
Thanks for the heads up! I grabbed one! These are priced extremely well and Centerfire doesn't murder you on shipping like other places. As I type this, they still had one full transitional pre-B with all the late features but without the nasty FP block and a couple earlier ones left.
As far as the "rattle can" finish, it looks like the typical chipped, worn and flaking factory polycoat on these.
They should make great shooters or refinishing projects (if that's your thing). Personally, I like the BFPU look and I'm going to leave the one I got, exactly as it comes.
