Thanks!

I read for many hours the last couple days researching all this and I?m so glad I stumbled upon this pistol.

I actually really wanted the all steel, safety model (75 compact)... but after a couple key points and help from CZ I decided on the PCR.

Per CZ?s website:

1.) ?... Because the 75 Compact retains the steel frame of the original 75, only 2.4 oz of weight is lost...?

And I got to handle the normal full size CZ 75B, and I LOVE it but it?s HEAVY. So I?m glad I went with the PCR cuz it?s a 1/4 pound light than the CZ 75 compact.

2.) the guys at CZ said the steel version if it were to get any scratches or dings in it, it would eventually start to rust, where the aluminum won?t.

Pcr is a nice choice! Do you have it in hand yet? Please be sure to post your thoughts. Give it at least 200 rds before you make any final impressions. I went out with my steel compact today and affirmed why i love it.

Hey thx! No not yet, just ordered it today. This is actually the FIRST firearm ive ever purchased not holding it in hand... kinda nervous. I did hold the 75B, Shadows, and SP-01 models though and partially based my decision off of that.

Hoping all the research I did pays off.

I will do that and will try to remember to post my initial impressions.
I really wanted the steel one but since I?ll be carrying this, it seemed smart to get the aluminum alloy version.
It?ll make a great companion for my EVO I?m hoping.

I've carried both the steel and alloy.......they both shoot very well, the alloy is just better suited for carry, The weight of the steel is just not comfortable towards the end of the day, plus you have to cinch the belt a bit more to compensate for the weight.

I think the D PCR is the best looking and has the best ergos of my 5 CZs. Without a doubt I enjoy shooting the D PCR more than my P-01.

As far as to which pistol I use for practicing drawing from a holster? My Glock 19. My pull weight on the 19 with a Glock "-" connector is 3.1 lbs. The DA pull on my P-01 and D PCR are close to 8 lbs, the SA pull weight on both is around 3.1 lbs. My first shot on the draw is always faster and more accurate with my G19.

If I were to carry (I live in Los Angeles it is not an option for me) I would carry my 43. Smaller and lighter than my D PCR/P-01 and the difference in capacity is not so great because we are limited to 10 round maximum magazines in California

Congrats on the PCR!

Love my 75D Compact...

So the store I bought the PCR from said they oversold them and I don?t have one. Bummer. But they are being very good about it and helping me out.

But in the meantime ... it gives me the opportunity to change my mind if I want to 😆

Anything else I should consider in the meantime ?

I can get a P-01 no problem ,  but PCR might make me in for a bit of a wait

[bcj128]

Personally I prefer the P-01.  They are super hard to find here.

Ok something else I discovered was most of the compact CZ 75 have the aluminum alloy frame, but one of them has a steel frame like the original CZ75.
Wouldn?t the steel frame be the better one to get since it?s stronger?

For purposes of concealed carry to me the minor weight difference between alloy and a steel frame can be better addressed with my own personal dieting.  After 25 years of wearing a decked out gunbelt, weight on my side doesn't bother me.  I do prefer the better shooting that a all steel pistol affords me.  Steel gives me an added insurance of durability which in my mind gives me confidence in my tool of self defense.  Aluminum also requires you keep the slide rails wet with grease to prevent galling.  Sig owners even have a chart to determine a rails amount of anodizied finish lose, thus giving it a life expectancy.  No thanks, I'll stick to all steel and be happy with my basic 75B Compact.

I had ordered the PCR. They oversold so I?m in the hunt again.

Yes, thank you... I do know they aren?t the same gun. Very close with slight differences.

Alright well... another update. My LGS just got a PCR in and a P-01 Omega Urban Gray Suppressor Ready, and the P-10c.

Things actually managed to turn out well for me as I discovered I?m not a huge fan of the PCR in general. The slide is very hard to rack, and the trigger I?m pretty big not a fan of. Long reset, stagey, etc. I know all this wil improve with time but I?m not sure I?m willing or patient enough to give it that time, especially since I don?t shoot often.

I LOVE the P-10C and in considering it, but I wanna make sure it gets all the kinks are getting worked out as it?s a new product.

I also love the Rami, but same feelings about it as the P10C.

Heck... I may just get a Glock. #CZblasphemy

My goodness you overthink things don't you?  Since you seem too, I pose this question.  Gaston the buffon Gluck has admitted in court testimony that his glucks cost him $64 and change to produce and all the rest is profit.  You now have to make the choice on if you are going to buy a Gen4 or a Gen5 gluck.  Like Hickok45 said in his video, do you choose the Gen4 with its at the moment abundance of spare parts?  Or do you pick the Gen5 with its future of spare parts availability?  If even the gluck-o-phile Hickok45 ponders what he will do, maybe you should too.  Or just get the P10c which as Hickok45 says, is a $100 cheaper and visibly more robust in every way.

I gotta wonder what about a PCR makes it hard for you to rack the slide.....
