As referenced in the GIRSAN Hi-Power thread, this is a recent acquisition. Once I give it some range time I will carry it. Presently, it sleeps in the safe.

I have a CZ 75 P01 and love it. Loved it so much I sent it to Cajun Gunworks for their pro package upgrade.
Enjoy.

I'm not the biggest fan of their triggers, but the CZ-75 series sure does work and those Compacts just feel so good in the hand! Thanks for posting it!

I'm with Uncle Pauly! I have a P-01 Omega. I am a lefty and it has a double sided decocker or can be converted to cocked and locked. I sent mine to Cajun for the full package as well. It is just lovely now.
Cheers, as I sip my unsweet ice tea.

Okay, thanks for the nice posts, but now I have to ask:
1. Ladder13, your gun has a different safety than mine. What's up with that?
2. Uncle Pauly, what is the "Cajun Gunworks pro package upgrade"?
Thanks!

That’s a decocker.

AHA! The D in your gun's name stands for decocker I suppose. I do so love decockers........

So years ago we had a patrol deputy who carried a 1911, and a sergeant who favored a 9mm S&W. They teased each other mercilessly about their favored duty gun and load. Deputy took a call on an accidental shooting involving a third-gen Smith 9mm. Guy stuck the loaded pistol into his waistband just right of his navel, and it went off, seriously and negatively affecting his manhood.
After they loaded the poor guy into the ambulance (he survived) the deputy called the sergeant and said that he now understood why they were called "decockers," but he now had empirical proof that the nine mike was a "weenie gun."

CZ makes two versions of the Model 75 Compact without an accessory rail. The standard Compact is like ISCS Yoda's and has a steel frame and the PCR (Police, Czech Republic) Model is like Ladder13's which has a decocker and an alloy frame.
The non-decocker CZ's can be carried in Condition 1 if desired. The decocker models only drop the hammer to a half-cock notch which lessens the initial stroke to fire it from the safe/decocked position.
I am a big fan of CZ's products. If you are like me and detest polymer framed, striker fired guns they are well worth a look. Here's my PCR. The California compliant models only come with two 10 round magazines but for those that live in free states the standard mags are 14 round.
One caution is not to dry fire them without snap caps. The roll pin through the slide that is part of the firing pin assembly can get peened and break. Cajun Gun Works sells an inexpensive solid pin as a replacement. I just use a snap cap or put a small rubber O ring in the back of the slide to cushion the hammer blow. Just don't forget to remove it when done with dry fire practice !

Speaking of CZ 75 compacts, do y'all know anything about the CZ 2075 RAMI?
I almost bought one ~15 years ago, but the DA trigger pull was AWFUL.
Now that I'm very pleased with my CZ 75 TSO, I'm wondering if I should check it out again.

A 2075 BD RAMI makes an excellent carry gun. It has edged out my 3913 and CS9 on the days that I carry a semi auto. Like it so much that I bought a second one, so that I can use one for range time and keep my carry clean. They were discontinued 2 years ago, but available 2nd hand. DA trigger breaks in quickly and is equivalent to a smooth K frame. Second the warning on the CZ contagion, as I am in double digits. Also, heard great thing about sending them off to CGW. But, I have ordered my own parts from CGW and various aftermarket suppliers, then changed/stoned the parts myself. Once I had a roll pin spare, I tested out the warning about dry fire without snap caps. After about 2000, you will damage the stock roll pin and the firing pin will stick extended.
I like the balance of the 75 Compact.
Heed the warning, started out with a 75B, then found a deal on a PCR, then a RAMI, later a Compact entered my realm.
They are addicting!

Yep, I have quite a collection too.
Cajun Gunworks will also just sell you the pieces, and you can do it yourself. David Milan is a good guy to talk to, and I recommend it!
Some of the changes can affect the function of your safety. That is something to know going in, but please call him about that, for his products have changed dramatically in the course of 3 decades that I've done business with him. He's one of the good guys!

There are versions with an aluminum alloy frame. Not the same features, or the same retro-appeal, but worth checking out at least. CZ 75 P01 Omega, similar weight and size (about 1/4 inch bigger) as a S&W 6906:

In no particular order, and not counting my original AT-84 (a CZ-75 pre-B clone) I acquired a surplus pre B CZ 75 and a CZ 75D Compact PCR (alloy frameJ:
I also acquired the rather large 17 round railed SP-01, a CZ 75B, although it’s seen here with a Cadet in .22 LR conversion kit on it, a CZ 75D Compact, and a 2075 RAMI:
Here is my original AT-84S that I sold to my BIL and got back when he passed away last year, next to my pre-B CZ 75:
If I am counting correctly that’s 6 CZs plus the cadet conversion kit, and a CZ clone.
Today I looked at a CZ P-10 C and it’s the first striker fired pistol that even remotely interested me. It pointed well felt good in the hand, and had a decent trigger with a short reset, not 1911 short but still very short by DA/SA or striker fired pistol standards. They are priced right as well.

You can take a 16 round magazine for the full size 75b and take the base plate off and replace it with an SP01 baseplate and it will cover up the 1/4" of magazine that would be exposed if inserted into any of the compacts. Be aware that the full size mags for the SP01 have been known to have the baseplates come off if hit at a certain angle while being inserted. If you can't tell I also suffer from the sickness of I'll only buy one!
I purchased a new CZ 75 SP-01 about a year ago. I immediately replaced the original sights with TRU-GLO sights. In my opinion, the stock rubber grips are perfect.
I like the sights. I still have the original sights on mine, but it only goes to the range right now. I am considering making it my home defense gun. I think I know where the holster came from, but for everyone else, do you mind sharing?
Here is mine, next to a 5906 that has been around the block a few times, even before I laid my eyes on it. They both happily ate some ammo with dodgy primers my range bought during the pandemic shortage, and did not misfire or jam.
Also bought some recoil springs from CGW.
Factory springs were too strong for me, made it difficult to operate the slide. Spring in now probably too light, but at my age, I accept the risk of damage to the gun.

I'm looking to get one of the Dan Wesson DWX compacts. Hybrid cross of the CZ75, PO-9 and 1911......
Has anyone replaced their barrel bushing with the CGW offering? If so, did it actually improve accuracy as CGW claims? I'm on the wait-list for one with CGW, but would appreciate some experienced feedback. -S2
