CZ 75 Compact anyone ?

[waffles]

Even with CZ being heavily used in competitions, aftermarket stuff is still difficult to find? Is that more for the compacts than the full sized stuff?

It's not that you will never be able to find anything, it's that it'll take more work and you'll have fewer choices. For example, if I needed a new holster NOW and I had a Glock of whatever make I can go to any number of gun stores (shit, even cabelas) and I'd be confident in finding one. More often than not this won't be the case with CZs. This goes for other parts too, including cheap mags (depending on the model) and especially sights. I got really used to Ameriglo CAPS or Trijicon HDs, whereas with the CZs you'll tend to have more basic options.

That said, it's getting better, especially for the race guns due to competition use (as you mentioned). You will also be able to find a lot of holsters at reasonable prices from the custom kydex makers. I am 100% down with CZ and would highly recommend them to anyone interested, just stating there are some minor (IMO) downsides to choosing them over the more common guns.

edit: the one other thing I forgot, the small slides are a blessing for the bore axis and general shootability, but can be a pain if you need to work the slide or slingshot it to drop the slide on a mag change. I'm a lefty so I slingshot all day erreyday and rarely had issues, but every now and then I'd mess up.

It couldn’t be too hard to find holsters for a CZ 75 Compact, even Hbar leatherneck (Hbar Tactical) has a blue gun mold for them..... (humor alert).

I am a huge advocate of CZ. Only bought my first one a couple of years ago and I am hooked on them!

I have an awesome neighbor that wants a pistol to protect his home and family - and he's Czech. I wish I could afford to just buy a nice CZ 9mm and gift it to him. He deserves it.
