Only gun I bought mostly for looks
« on: November 08, 2023, 10:42:27 PM »
I was powerless against this high polish stainless steel CZ 75B.  Came with the grips (and originals), I could go either way on them.  Also have a spare slide stop if needed down the road.

Can't recall, it was a pretty penny though.  Got it mid Covid madness times.

Even the base plate is polished. Now that’s sharp, grips and all. Nice buy.

I would love to have one of those but for what they want for them here in California I'll just do without. Nice looking CZ.

OK you got my curiosity up. What’s the outrageous going price for one of those? I’m already puckered in anticipation of your answer, so be gentle. ;D

I have one of the bright polished CZ 75B's and it definitely stands out from the other two poly coated CZ pistols here. The front and back of the magazine well are polished so smooth the stainless 75 is almost slippery in the hand.

Brushed $1800 to 2k, polished $2200 to $2800. I'm not saying that's what they sell for but that's what they are advertised for.

It looks like a European surpluse Browning Hypower I have that was issued polished chrome that I purchased on GunBroker a number of years ago. The shiny finish took time for me to get use to. But the price was right and I wanted another Hypower  9mm. It's buried in the Harem with the other neglected ladies.

It's also one of only two pistols I store in their protective cases.  The other is a Dan Wesson CCO 1911.

Welcome

do what you like.  To me, why work if you cant spend it one what you want?

I got one too, not just for the looks but to fill that collection niche. 

the more i shot and collected guns, the more i leaned to SS.  Not satin/brushed/polished since they can easily show dings/nicks and so forth.  But just because blue is really nice and when done nicely, harder to keep "as is" if you keep on shooting/cleaning everytime.
