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:

I Have 2 Compacts......
This one has Cajun upgrades, SAO, steel frame.
This one has an alloy frame, DA/SA
Like 'em both.

They are addicting.
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.

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

Speedo2, I would like to know about the bushing as well. I had the Pro Package done on my P-01 Omega but didn't see the bushing option and would have had them do that had I known about it.
This is where I got the holster: Azula Leather OWB 2 Slot Pancake Belt Holster CCW For.. Choose Color & Gun - 1 | eBay
This holster isn't perfect, but it's not exactly easy to find leather holsters for the CZ 75 SP-01, especially left handed versions.
I was not happy with the sweat guard, or back of the holster because the back came up above the trigger guard, making it impossible to get a full grip when drawing. I fixed that by trimming the back of the holster for clearance.
This cropped photo shows where I cut back the leather, sorry, I didn't take a photo of the holster back prior to alteration:
Other than that, anyone contemplating purchase should know that the holster will be very tight and will require quite a bit of break-in. Mine is now broken in, and I'm quite satisfied with it.
Note: I have no affiliation with the vendor or manufacturer.
I have two compacts and they have both been to CGW. The PCR had the Pro Package, barrel bushing and the slide was cut for the Holosun. The steel frame compact was converted to SAO, added their straight trigger, barrel bushing and night sights. Both are also wearing the SS guide rod. The holsters are from Craft Holsters.
The barrel fit is much tighter in both guns with the bushing installed.

So, there I was, watching some videos on the CZ 75 Compact when one of the YouTubers states that frequent dry firing of that gun will break the roll pin.
OOPS!
WHOA!!!
I had only done it a few times but I stopped that practice immediately. I have Snapcaps somewhere that I can use! Until they turn up - no more dryfiring!
I only have 2 CZs. Both Ramis - a 9mm and a .40. Good shooters, but that little .40 is a bit painful to shoot. Makes my palm sore and slaps my trigger finger pretty good. I do also have an SP01 clone made by Canik. It's probably my favorite handgun.
One day I will get a Shadow 2 or TS. Just haven't found the right one at the right price yet.

Check out CZ rifles...... Mauser actions (three sizes) good to great wood.
I started 12 years ago with a 452FS/manlicher stock in .22 mag...... added more than I needed over those last 12 years in .22lr .22mag ..17hmr, .223/5.56

The CZ Kadet .22 conversion kits are also an outstanding product. Although they have gotten pricey. I think the Kadet II kits will work on both the full size and compact models, they come with two different slide stops that have slightly different dimensions depending upon which donor frame you are using.
I have a 2000 vintage Kadet Kit that I use on my 1994 CZ75 "Pre-B" gun and it is a lot of fun and quite accurate. It is an all steel device so the weight & balance doesn't appreciably change and better than something like a Kimber or Ciener unit on a 1911 frame.
I like to shoot CCI Stingers in it, you get a nice blast & flash but about zero recoil. It is a bit more accurate with good old CCI Mini Mags and 100% reliable with pretty much every high velocity brand I have tried.
