Thanks, it's an out of production All Stainless gun that I paid too much for.
But you only live once, right?

I always wanted one of those in singe action only.
BTW, must be nice to have disposable income.
Retiring does have draw backs. In my last few positions I was salaried, but was "billable" to clients. So if I worked 60 billable hours, I got paid extra for anything over 45. We were expected to work 45 as a normal week. It as called straight time, overtime. So...when I went to job sites and worked 75-84 hours a week for a couple of weeks, I would use the "overtime" to buy toys. Sure miss those days.

I'm 67 and retirement is imminent, until then ... :p

Very nice Barth. I like the smooth flow of the base plate into the front strap. She's purty! I'd def pick that over it's blued counterpart.

The two, no longer available, options were matte or high polished stainless.
I went with the more subdued matte stainless :)
The high polished version I think is more your speed - LOL!

High Polish SS CZ 75 B

Going out tonight to try out the new Stoeger Condor Out Back that I picked up last evening. I’ll see if it needs a Limb saver. If it does I’ll need to shorten the stock.

Thanks! It's a Bucket List Item - LOL!

Update:
Just picked the gun up and the trigger is fantastic!
SA is ~3.75 / DA is ~6.5, and the DA is buttery smooth :cool:
Guys at the FFL couldn't believe it's a factory gun!
I'm thinking it had a factory trigger job or I'm just one lucky )(*_)(*+.
Doesn't appear that the gun has ever been fired (except for factory test firing).
Was going to drop it off at CZ Custom for trigger work, but why?

BTW, my new Shadow 2 Compact, before and after a trigger job, doesn't hold a candle to this Stainless Beauty :D
Trigger pull weights don't tell the whole story ...

Thats gorgeous! Is it a sin to covet another mans gun?

I don't think so :)

My Dan Wesson V-Bob has been my favorite handgun for years.
The Stainless 1911 is just a Work of Art :cool:
But this Stainless CZ is immediately giving that gun competition.
It seems that most, if not all, of the small parts are stainless too!
The barrel, hammer, trigger, slide stop, safety, magazine release ...
Only the guide rod is polymer, and that will be replaced by a CZ Custom stainless guide rod later today :p
I've bought way too many guns this year.
But you only live once, and when I retire this buying addiction will have to end.

Also, this Stainless Czech Beauty is an absolute jewel :D
Pictures don't really give the gun justice.
