Well, you do great work, and I know there will be people who would gladly pay for CZ checkering service! Literally no one will touch it. I think Metaloy will stipple them.

I don't suppose you'd be willing to take on work would you? I'm in state, and have been looking everywhere to find someone to checker one.

That should be a start, thank you!

I'd much rather pay a professional to do it!

I really like my CZ75b and Kadet, and am thinking of adding a new one in stainless. I'd like to try some of the Custom Shop upgrades, put some pretty grips on it, you know, a BBQ gun! But I can't fathom dropping 4 digits on a pistol with a smooth front strap! Nor do I want to put skateboard tape on a stainless gun. Everyone seems to offer it for 1911's, so unless the frame is particularly thin or something, it should be possible. And it doesn't have to be perfect 25 LIP checkering or anything, dimples would be fine. Has anyone even seen this done on a CZ75?

Can I not insert a photo until I have more posts?

Like the rest of you, I have stuff backordered there (and elsewhere). Tonight, I got a confirmation # emailed to me from weeks ago. I excitedly opened the email, and all it said was "In stock 0, out of stock, 3 items." Not sure why they even sent that, unless maybe as a friendly reminder...

I have a SD 3G in my 5.56 AR. I have found that a lot of control has to do with how high up on the blade you put your finger. Finger at the top and you can fly out rounds, down low it's a much more controlled shot.

When a product sells, I suppose there's always a reason. Thanks for your thoughts. Curious about people's thoughts on the D models, still.

Welcome aboard, Fumbles. New myself

...shopping long enough that I feel comfortable I'm not asking total noob questions. And I've used the search feature. So here goes. What's with the Shadow bushing and short reset trigger that cost more than the gun? I've built some precision rimfire guns, and I understand Kidd 2 stage trigger costing what it does every time I shoot the rifle. I have Volquartsen parts in my .22 pistols and a Geissele in my AR, I'm not opposed to spending money and I appreciate a crisp trigger. But a $350 bushing makes no sense to me from a machining perspective alone, and while my experience is limited, I don't remember their trigger being bad. I say this largely hoping to be talked into it, and being wowed. But the price certainly does sting. Secondly, I like a decocker. My carry guns are Walter P99s, in the AS configuration and I love having a DA/SA w/decocker. This CZ75 will be for target and possibly competition. I see that the trigger I want isn't available in the decocker version. Is this trigger so good that a decocker should be a deal breaker? If it makes operating the gun that much better, I can live with a manual safety. Another question about investment... Why does a CZ 75 Shadow cost less as a complete new in box firearm, than as a base gun, without even sights, grips, or a trigger? Wouldn't it be smarter to just buy the gun and add any work you wanted? Pricing is just confusing to me, and I want to be sure I'm not missing something. Because I often am. Thanks, and I look forward to you guys helping me get over the CZ learning curve.

Hi folks. My name is Chip and I post under this same user name (usually with spaces) everywhere I go. I have been a rimfire tinkerer for years, and play around a little with polymer handguns and 1911's. I want to get into more 9mm, and am considering a Hi Power or CZ75 for my next gun to have customized for competition. I CCW Walther P99s in DA/SA (their AS trigger configuration) so do like a decocker, though it isn't a deal breaker. I have a lot of questions, but will try to read a lot first.
