Did the Phantom get discontinued again?
« on: February 01, 2020, 12:07:12 PM »
Forgive me if I'm late to the game with this pistol. The Phantom looks like it got axed again. I know that the Czech Army uses the Phantom as its current sidearm, so perhaps that's why CZ isn't importing them to the US anymore?

I know that CZ discontinued this gun in 2013 from previous forum posts here. Maybe it was the military contracts or it just didn't sell that well in the US?

Yeah, they discontinued again.  Not sure why.  I figure they started making it again for the Czech army and then started producing for the public once that contract was fulfilled but it didn't sell as expected.

They're still available for the time being.  I got mine this week for $420 from Battlehawk Armory.

Thanks Earl.

Sad that this variant gets overlooked a lot. Honestly, if I had to get a polymer CZ pistol, this would be my first choice since the phantom shares the same mags as the 75B, and I like the fact that the phantom has a single sided decocker.

Get one while you can. They may be brought back again, may not.

I had been thinking about picking one up.  I guess that cinched my descision.
Good, bad, I am the guy with the gun.
