Is the SA still being produced? Just got one and am wondering about the future availability of parts.

Yes, as far as I know.  It has proved very popular so far (at least from what I can tell).  It is sometimes a little quiet on this forum.  The 75B SAs are relatively trouble-free, and most owners already owned a CZ 75B or Witness.

My 9mm SA was made in 2001.  I take that to be a VERY good sign.

Some sections don't get much traffic..call it 'seasonal' if you wish. During the summer and fall. people want smaller, lighter
pistols it seems. CZ-100, PCR and Cz83s get a lot of  attention.

When the coats go on..and bigger guns can be carried you will
see an increase in discussion of the 75B, 75SA, 97B.

Each section exists for those of you whow want to pay interest in such models. This forum (or forums) are for your pleasure.

I don't think anyone here owns more than one CZ or witness
and can call one an exact favorite. I like all my CZs. Each one
has a personality and attributes the over the others. Kind
of like a Mother picking a favorite kid??

Can't be done.

75B Mil:  This one would get less use, except it was the first.  I can't ever seem to part with it, despite many offers.  Theoretically, it has been "replaced" by other guns, but I have a real attachment to it.

97B: Just an excellent, accurate handgun.  It is a .45 ACP.  I can't say enough positive things about this model.  It is a .45 ACP.  Beautifully designed and executed.  It is a .45 ACP...

75B SA: Currently the most accurate handgun I own.  (Sorry Colt, but it's true.)  The 97B is ungodly accurate, but the SA is frightening.  I would have to shoot for a LONG time to fully realize the potential of this gun.  

vz 75 (aka pre-B): This is a "transitional" Model 75.  I have had it for one full week.  It may prove to be as accurate as the SA, once the trigger breaks in.  (It was LNIB.)  The lack of a firing pin block makes for a much smoother DA than a 75B.  Right now, this is my "favorite," because the shock of finding one in this condition hasn't worn off...  

Next CZ: a rifle, probably a 550 Lux.  I haven't decided on the caliber yet, because I really don't need another .270 (yet I WANT one).  Also, the 527 actions are incredible.  Every time I fill out a CZ-USA warranty card, I check the "rifle" box for "next purchase," yet I buy another handgun...

That last post was supposed to start a lively and spirited discussion!

Well I have been away from the forum for awhile as my CZ interest waned. I go in spells from one brand to another of firearms. This week it picked back up with the acquisition of a ANIB CZ75B SA. I now have a Mil Turk 75B and the new 40cal.

today for the first time in a while, I took also took along
"Wil-Ber" my custom 1911, half Kimber half Wilson since I hadn't shot it for a while either.  Both of these guns are soooo much fun to shoot!  I'm just a SA junky.  The 75 IPSC feels signifigantly milder in recoil with the extra weight and 40 S&W vs 45 ACP.  I shot about 150 rounds thru each, both flawless.  Both pretty equal in accuracy and only a slight edge in trigger smoothness to Wil-ber.  The IPSC trigger is quite a bit lighter, Wil-ber is about 2-1/4 lbs and the IPSC about 12 oz.  I'm slowly getting used to the light pull on the IPSC and only managed to "almost" get myself once today.  The IPSC gun never fails to amaze, it's becomming my favorite gun to shoot just for it's "fun factor".  Hope to get Mike at CZ to start on my converted 75B SA back to working.  I miss having it.  Hope everybodies ejoying shooting as much as me!

SonnyD you are right about the IPSC trigger being so light at 12 oz.  My friend wanted to finally try it when he broke it from my hands, lol.  I kept warning him that the trigger by no means is even close to his Colt 1911.  As he drew the gun to his sight picture, BANG - I think he nearly wet himself.  With a grin, I said, "I told you it was light".

I love mine too, now that everything has been tweaked for me.

Cricket67, LOL!, I know it is pretty funny when people shoot it for the first time, the look on their face is priceless!  I'd never let an inexperienced shooter shoot mine and it's funny when someone really experienced with light triggers have the same reaction.  The first time I shot mine it's lucky that I didn't split my head open!  It's now the gun I shoot with first, because if it's not and I get kind of desensitized about the trigger, well you know where I'm going.  LIke I said my Kimber trigger is pretty light at 2lbs, but a couple of times yesterday I had to check because I thought I had clicked the safety on, after shooting the IPSC.  But honestly though, could another gun be anymore fun to shoot?
