Eagerly Awaiting my CZ-75 Compact

[Birds Away]

That's very cool.  Can't wait to see pictures and a range report.  I have a soft spot for Compacts.

Got my CZ-75 Compact today. Pictures soon to follow after I familiarize myself with it a bit.

I'm curious. When you get it, can you please let me know what year it was made in and whether or not the barrel is blackened, or bare like the one in the picture above? Mine is a 2014 and has a blackened barrel. I know that CZ has blackened their barrels in the past, just wondering if it's something that they are doing again, or if it's random.

To answer your question, mine does have the bare steel barrel, although it does have the blackened guide rod, unlike the bare steel or stainless one in the picture your referring too. I'm not sure when it was made. It was test fired by CZ on 5/16/2014. Can anybody help me find out when my gun was made?

I am fond of the Compacts myself.

The first two digits of the serial number designate the year of manufacture.

Thanks, but can it be pinned down to a month and day?
