Please let us know how you like the "SP-01 Compact'.
Will do.  I actually don't care for rails, especially on compacts, and I prefer a manual safety over the initial double action pull of the decocker models.  This is my favorite version of all the CZ75 Compacts that I have:

Why CZ won't import them to the US market is beyond my understanding.  I think they'd sell the best of all.

I ordered one from mrgundealer.com about a week ago and have not heard anything since.  Some sort of encouragement email would be nice. ::)  I didn't buy it because it has a practical use for me.  I just bought it because I'm a CZ collecting whore and it's a very limited edition.

Limited edition is right.

Ended up getting the PCR after all. Couldn't resist the price. They had one left on Grab-A-Gun for $535.30 w/ 5.99 shipping. I called and spoke with Dave who was very pleasant and he confirmed that my order did indeed go through. Should be at my FFL by Mon/Tues.  Oh well. Maybe my next gun will be a Railed CZ Compact if they're as addictive as you say. LOL  Please let us know how you like the "SP-01 Compact'.

Congrats, You're getting a very good pistol.

Thanks man. This will be my first firearm. I hope it arrives with no imperfections. If all is well, I'm gonna buy 1000 rounds of brass ammo because I heard ammo prices will go up dramatically after the new year. Don't know how true that is. I have no idea what ammo to buy.

Nice gun. All steel, right? I almost bought that one as well. I thought that gun came with rubber mag bases? Very nice. Maybe my next gun will have a safety or maybe if these limited quantity "SP-01" guns are still available, I'll pick one up based on more user reviews. In NJ, I have to wait 30 days before I can buy another gun. Thx.

No, this one has an aluminum frame.  CZ-USA has never imported them in this configuration, but some surplus ones from Israel were available a while back.

Ammo prices do tend to go up whenever there's talk of a ban, but it's simply because people are hoarding.  It's definitely good to have a minimum of 1000rds of ammo, but don't get caught up in the election hype.  If Hitlary does get elected and tries for a ban, ammo won't be part of it.  We can help you to find good quality ammo at the best price, so don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks, Bret.  I presumed it was the 91190. VERY nice pistol. And the dubbed "SP-01 Compact" will be another rare one.

Thanks. Tombstone has the 99003 Railed D Compact for $560 plus $5.05 for optional insurance and free shipping. Says they have 317 in stock... hard to believe. Maybe their distributor has 317. Bud's credit card price of $585.

EDIT:  resellerratings.com rates Tombstone as 6.1 out of 10.  They rate Buds a 9.29 out of 10.
           I tried calling Tombstone Tactical twice during business hours and could not get a human being. :(

I  just purchased that model (99003) from Tombstone Tactical this week, just waiting for it to arrive.
My LGS actually has a CZ P-01 in stock, but they want too much for it, so I bought the CZ 75D compact instead.

Nice and free shipping too! And no difference from the P-01. Just spoke to Tombstone and they said they drop-ship them and should only take a few days to ship. Did you ever shop at Tombstone before?  If so, what do you think of them? I may go for it as well OR, I may go for the limited-quantity all-steel railed "SP-01 Compact" as shown on two other threads. I'm waiting for more use experiences on the "SP-01 Compact".

TO ADD: Yesterday morning, I ordered the PCR from Bud's (CC price $591.22) because they must have had just 1 in stock. After I placed my order, I started having 2nd doubts because the 99003 started growing on me for home defense (because I can't carry in NJ). And about 30 minutes later, Bud's called me and said it wasn't in stock and someone beat me to it. Whatever >:( Put a bad taste in my mouth about Buds since I never used them pior. But just as well because now my heart is set on the 99003 or this "SP-01 Compact". I'm leaning towards the 99003 though.

Yeah my CZ arrived at my FFL already but I'm waiting for another gun to arrive also from a different vendor before I pick them both up. Tombstone Tactical seems like a pretty professional outfit, the gun arrived from AZ to PA within two days. Decent price and fast shipping seems like a win in my book. I spoke with them over the phone just to make sure they were shipping me the correct firearm.

I have never used Buds before, but I don't care for the whole cash price verse credit card price.

I agree, Bret.  I have one of those as well.


One of the most interesting I have has neither a compact frame or a PCR frame.  The frame on this one is aluminum alloy and very unique.

If you ever want to sell the one with the unique frame, you have an interested buyer.

Thanks, Bret.  You'll have to wait for me to kick the bucket.  Then my buddy will probably be selling it.  ;D

Another one, not quite as unique.  CZ 75D with a steel compact frame and decocker.

Birds Away....you wouldn't happen to have in the vault what are arguably three truly rarities in the D Compact family that you've been keeping away from us?[emoji4].
CZ 85 D Compact......ambi decocker and slide stop.
CZ 75 D Compact in 7.65 mm (adapter for 2001 French police tender).
CZ 75 BD Compact P....polymer frame (developmental only in 2006; sort of a compact Phantom and RAMI P).

The 75 D Compact PCR has the Aluminum frame, decocker, lanyard loop, chambered round indicator, rubber grips, and the slanted sights.  By the way mine also has the black barrel.   The ones that have the PCR on the slide were over runs for the foreign market.  The US versions did not.  They will have PCR on the box.   However, some US PCR had night sights that were special orders.  The PCR is the smaller version of the CZ 75 BD police.  The steel frame PCR's were Israeli police turn-ins. 

The P01 has the longer to the end of the barrel aluminum frame with the rail, the decocker, and rubber grips, w/o the lanyard loop, chambered round indicator and the slanted sights.  They were also approved with a NATO number.  Most will not have this number on the frame like the earlier ones.  CZ also now has the P01 with the new Omega trigger  and has the Omega on the frame.

The 75 compact has a steel frame, with the manual safety, and plastic grips, w/o the lanyard loop, chambered round indicator and the slanted sights. also weights about 6 ounces more than a PCR.  A smaller version of the CZ 75 B.

These are basically the US versions of the 75 Compacts.   The railed 75 compacts, like the others with different markings are either over runs for foreign orders new and old or just older version of the similar weapons.

My US version PCR only has the model number on the box below the UPC code. Does not say "PCR". Can you confirm? Thx
