no black trigger for the CZ 75 SDP COMPACT

[CZ Taji]

 hi there,
 ok, i'm on the list for a compact sdp. i obviously saw the pictures of the pistol on CZ's site.
so just to be sure i sent Rob a link to the gun i thought i was buying.

turns out rob says the trigger won't be black as seen in the photos for the pistol. so i asked was there anyway to get a black trigger. i know it's a superficial aspect, but i din't make that bleep gun look so sexy in the phto with the blqck trigger that suits the look of that picture perfectly. CZ did that, so it's their fault imho. 

I told Rob i didn't think i was gonna be the only one to see that picture and expect to have the gun look like that photo.

So this is my official appeal to CZ custom shop to make a 85 combat trigger in BLACK. anyone else that wants to jump on this idea-bandwagon please join me, i can use all the help i can get.

Yea, the CZ USA photo shows a black trigger not sure if the CZ USA version has a black recurve trigger or not (I don't see an over travel screw).

However, the CZ Custom shop's photo shows the silver 85 Combat trigger, and it sounds like you're purchasing directly from the CZ Custom shop.

I know the black recurve trigger chips, so I'd prefer the silver.  However, I get the "blackout appeal".

The true 85 combat trigger "the original one" fitted in the SDP that come from CZ Custom and in fact is shipped to CZ USA for sale by them, is an up graded trigger, this is the one with the less radius curve that most people prefer over the shorter radiused re-curve trigger.
To my knowledge the  original 85 Combat trigger has never been supplied in black and has always come as a  stainless steel or nickle plated trigger.

Some years back CZ UB started using the the newer re curved trigger in almost all pistols including the SP01 Shadow. Customer called for the "original trigger so we special ordered them from CZ UB because we were not able to pursued them to put them back in serial production. (Actually they still fit the older trigger in the 97B i believe)

Having said all that, since we are a  custom shop my nature, you can always call for a change in any pistol that you are ordering from us.

btw thx. gents for ur swift replies .

i was told that my only option was to keep the 85 combat trigger or have it replaced with the standard trigger on the PO1.
I was advised about the projected time to get it done and was ok with that as i Also have a P07 that IS GONNA GET A TRIGGER JOB AND NEW SITES. oops caps bandit, bleep he's fast.

So rob called today and said my gun was ready. i was so excited i didn't think that anything was wrong. later i thought how can a gun that hasn't been built yet be ready. especially since I'm on a list behind other people.

I know i'm not a V.I.P. that would be allowed to go to the front of the line. so where did this gun appear from? i don't want a gun that was sitting around unwanted for whatever reason. i also wondered about the price difference. between the new price of 1420 and the price of the gun in the link. i saw that gun in the store, and wondered why no one had brought it; i thought it was strange at the time because  knew about a waiting list for new sdp's.

please explain. I'm gonna talk to rob tomorrow and see what he says about it. It's mostly because i need to understand
and I'm also a man of principle. thx.

$1225 is pre shipping.  So it'll go up a bit after that...not that much though.

Did you ask for the recurve trigger to be installed?  Are you an Arizona resident (if so, you'd have to pay sales tax)?

You should have received a PDF sales invoice explaining the charges.

price is supposed to be $1420.00 that's what's listed online at CZ's site. I'm dumbfounded frankly. I'm playing devils advocate on there is a reason why the gun is priced like that. i just don't know that reason and would like to. is it because it's an older model or something is different about it. this is my biggest cause of inhibition. i try to cross my t's and dot my I's when i spend mucho dinero.

i wanted the 85 combat trigger. Rob told me via email, i was the first person to bring that to CZ's attention& that they had not realized the picture still had the PO1 trigger. rob said he had tried to polycoat a trigger black before, but it chipped off so they couldn't make a black trigger.

i'm already over the fact that i won't be getting a blk. trigger.

CZ USA is the American importer of CZ pistols.

CZ Custom is a custom shop in Arizona.

---------
The SDP pistol is built by the CZ custom shop in Arizona, they send a certain amount to CZ USA.  CZ USA then ships those pistols to retailers...see KY Gun Co, Grab A Gun, Tombstone etc. 

The price on CZ USA is a MSRP price.  Unless there's a gun scare...no one pays MSRP.  Kind of like a car.  It's not an old model.  You should be fine.

thx. that clears up the price question well enough imho. Yet, it doesn't explain how i got a gun ahead of everyone else. Nor
 more importantly what is particular/different about that gun. doesn't jive with expected delivery times based on the latest information i had gotten from Robert very recently. smells better so far, but the unknown smell of the most important aspect of the gun has yet to be rectified. i realize I'm not the veteran gun buyer, but my common sense reasoning on how i got the gun still makes sense. that is what i need resolved now.

for instance when you see how the model is written for the link you posted and for the sdp listed on CZ's sight the arrangement of the words is different. i realize it could be an older gun based on all the other gun titles that have similar features and specs. , like shadow, accu shadow, accu lite. frankly it gets really confusing because in the shop you don't get many of the details on the model gun that you see. that in of itself is problematic and confusing for many novice buyers imho. All the 411 on the gun should be readily available in the shop description.   

part of the issue i think is that CZ assumes that everyone knows all the menu items/guns etc. I know many folks won't buy a very expensive gun when becoming a new shooter; but i know I'm not the only one who does this, and surely won't be the last. shoot, i'm a bit excited even writing this since it's connected to a gun dream i have that's almost a reality lol.

These bleep CZ's are very much like high quality knives. you have to really know your stuff to make the best choice, yet to get there takes time that most including myself would like to skip. even the knife guys act like the newbies should know xyz right off the bat even though they know it's not possible. at least the Gun folks are far nicer & helpful.

this is an awesome sight imho. i haven't even got my guns yet, and i like it here. i might actually sell a couple of my knives later to fund a new gun purchase. yet, frankly i would love to be satisfied/fulfilled with my 2 picks already.

after all i still have to pay for ammo, shooting glasses, ear protection, holsters, mags, cleaning supplies & a small gun safe! cha ching
