Where in the world can I find one of these in an "offline" setting so I can get my grubby mitts on one? Have been to BH, GU and a few others with no luck (GU did have a P-07, but I'm looking for a 75 SP-01). Have also left a message for Moeller in Papillion. Thanks in advance for the help.

CZ website shows GU / Scheel's (Omaha-Lincoln) / Cabela's / Bullet Hole / Trade N Post (Fremont) all to be 'dealers'.....

Other option is to have a NFOA member in the area that has the model you seek and they meet up with you.... Good luck in your quest.

I have an sp01 with some mods if you wanted to try it. I'm in Omaha.
-
You used to see CZ's often at Cabelas or even Scheels. I haven't seen one in awhile although Cabelas has a used CZ forget the model in the gun library which is used but has a new price. I just bought a CZ 75B compact L that was modded by their custom shop from Gunbroker where Rod did the transfer. It's pretty darn nice and shoots GREAT. Might want to consider a custom shop gun instead of a regular one. Well worth it.
-
For what it's worth I was at Scheels Lincoln yesterday and asked if they ever have them in stock since the CZ site lists them as a dealer. The guy said they will order them but don't carry them.
I get that it's not a high turnover item but you'd think folks could have one on hand just to show potential buyers.

They used to be in shops and at gun shows all over... I bought my first one (CZ75BD Police) back in about 2003 or so for about $400. Then, people discovered how nice of a gun they are, and how inherently accurate the dang things are. Now, you're lucky to see one anywhere these days due to the high demand(hence all the price increases :( ).
If you are going to the gun show in Lincoln on saturday, I have a SP01 Tactical (decocker version) I could bring for you to fondle.
I haven't met too many people that didn't like the way a CZ fits in their hand.
Be forewarned though.... the CZ addiction is very similar to Black Rifle Disease. ;D
-
You cannot go wrong with a CZ-75 or 75 SP-01..... Great guns
And that is coming from a Glock guy! If Glock didn't exist (then none of their imitators would either.....) CZ-75 would likely be my main choice of handgun.
-
Thanks for the advice and offers. I called Scheels in Omaha, they said they can order, but I'd have to pay for up front. The guy said they would "take care of me" if I didn't like it....
Farmer Rick - thanks for the offer, but I won't be able to make it to Lincoln this weekend.
-
I have a CZ 97B 45 and CZ999 9mm. Both are deadly accurate. With the 97 on a good day, 3 shot groups at 21' - quarter size.

What's their price on it?
Just curious as they seem to be kinda high priced on ALL their guns at Scheels.
-
Didn't get so far as to ask about price, was kind of hoping they'd order one and I could decide to buy it or not afterwards ;D
-
Rod ordered the CZ97. He might be a good source.
-
Cz-75s and the offshoots tend to fit the hand very nearly as well as a Browning Hi-power, which is to say they fit pert near every hand!!
-
From what I have read, the 75 and sp01 fit differently due to the high swept beavertail on the sp01.
-
Lincoln gun show. One vendor had several nice looking CZ 75. Might have to put that puppy on my wish list :(
-
If a person is looking for a more budget-minded purchase, look at the Canik and Tri-Star pistols.
They are pretty much a Turkish copy of the CZ75 and Tangfollio pistols, they have quite a few different versions too.
They may not be quite as refined as the CZ, but they are darn nice. I have a Canik Shark C in hard chrome, and handles very nicely.

It looks like the Piranha F would be the equivalent to the SP-01 except it's not ambidextrous.

That's a nice looking piece of weaponry there
-
I've been seriously tempted by the Canik pistols.

For those looking for CZ pistols in stock, the Trade 'n Post pawn shop in Fremont has at least 8 or so CZ pistols in their display cases. Not the best prices in the world, but not terrible either.

No SP-01's at the Trade N Post, however they do have a P-01 (compact version). May have to travel up there to check it out. Cabelas had/s 2 P-07's (compact, polymer) on sale this past weekend, took a look, very nice looking guns. They checked on special ordering a SP-01 and the gal that called back said she can't get one from any of her suppliers, so also no quote on a price.
Have seen some on gunbroker, most hovering in the $675-750 range.
-
DE Guns just posted on Facebook that they got in 16 SP-01 Tacticals.
They have a nice new website too... ;D

Holy cow, that's a big shipment of CZ's for a small shop.

Would you people stop talking about/ liking/ sharing DE's shipment of CZs!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHG
-
JMH, any chance you were at Cabela's and got your hand on one? I think I was the one that helped you.
-
bullet hole had a CZ in their display case on Saturday morning
-
Guns Unlimited has a CZ75 compact for $525 IIRC.
-
Brad - it's been a couple weeks since I was up there, when the P-07's were on sale.

They also have a CZ85 and I think a silver CZ75

Ah, never mind then. Had a guy come up and want to hold them and said he was trying to find them all over to get a feel.
