CZ 85D SDP

[dspmo5]

Not sure if this fits here, but I recently purchased an 85D SDP in 9MM from CZ Custom and was wondering if anyone else has one. It's basically a SP-01 with an 85 compact upper that's described by CZ Custom as a rare find. (05 stamped on the upper) Trigger,hammer, SST guide rod, extended firing pin , and Heinie straight 8 nite sights and slim aluminum grips are the mods. Awesome set up and point and aim is fantastic. 350 rounds with not one failure. Feels exactly like a scaled down version of my SP-01 Custom - exactly what I wanted. I'm not as accurate yet with the open sights ( I have a C More STS on my Sp-01) ,but getting better with each round  Impressions ?

no worries, it can be a tough crowd.

i was thinking the same thing.

but i know there are more CZs out there that are uncatalged or unlisted. 


iirc, wasnt the 85B compact a 40 short and wimpy creature?

That is great.  I look at the "factory" pistols at the CZ Custom website but rarely look at the "custom" section.   

The only issue I am not crazy about is the heavier front frame for the light.  I like the look of the smoother frame of my PCR a little better.

Now you guys make me think about selling three other pistols to finance this one.  You guys are just enabling my addiction.

I sold two plus a couple hundred bucks cash - couldn't pass it up  I'm not that familiar with the PCR, but I did want the rail , since I plan to add a TLR-4 once I get really used to the Heinie sights. IMHO the balance and feel are great.

Nice looking pistol, I would like one of those myself. Can't decide whether to send mine off, or buy another one.

[dspmo5]

Tough decision,but depending on what you wand/need , CZ Custon will steer you in the right direction.
What pistol do you have now ?

[lotsagas4u]

Well, because you asked, SP01 shadow, 2 P01's, Rami BD, 97 glossy, 75 police, 75 matte stainless, 75 nickle, 75 compact, 83 blue, 2 Kadets, which one would you send in?

[dspmo5]

Just my opinion,but the 75 compact or one of the P-01s. Not sure if they are stock triggers,but that's what I like the best plus the Heinie sight is easier for my old eyes. Stuart or Rob at CZ Custom are the best for good advice. Or since you already have a great collection of CZs - what's one more ?
