AHA!!!!! Mystery solved!!!!

Years and years ago, when I was first stepping into the mystery that is CZ, I was working at a local gun shop when I sold a gun just like this...and nobody would believe me that it existed. Now I know I wasn't smoking dope!

Is that a steel frame compact D? I've seen Cole's listing Israeli surplus pistols.

This one is going in my CZ oddities folder. It is CZ pistols like these that make classifying and explaining CZs harder than it could be. Like that darn steel framed PCR with a saftey that is floating around. There was a time when i felt comfortable using the step in the aluminum framed models as an identifier.

Nice find though, thank you for the pic.

The few that have surfaced the past couple years are mostly from 1999. I've recently seen a beat up surplus one at an LGS where the year stamp was impossible to make out but the serial number suggests as late as 2002. The one in the photo might have been re-fitted with what appears to have an 80s style slide stop from a pre-B. Note also the smaller decocker compared to the current style.

I know I've seen them on-line before:

It has that sideways ring lanyard seen on some of the imported from Israel CZ 75's and 85's.

No import stamp on the other side?  My Pre B CZ 85 did not have the ring lanyard loop but it had an importer's stamp on the right side of the frame.

Cool! I didn't know they made a compact with a decocker while still the Czech Republic.

I like the steel frame Compact, but always wanted the decocker, never could get one. I am going to have to work some overtime to see if I can get one of these beat up babies.
