why not consider the alloy? its +p+ rated (i think... its at least +p) and its lighter. shoots amazing! i havent been to the range but a handfull of times and i was able to cluster all 14 rounds within a 2.5" area... most of which went through the same hole. i should've saved the target, or at least taken a picture lol.

I just like the all-steel compact version with the manual safety. No rail, no lanyard loop. Nice piece.

fair enough. i apologize for the lack of info, on my part, on the all steel model. good luck in your search!

I like my 75 Compacts! In truth I shoot the compact better than the 75B, perhaps because the shorter grip squeezes my hand for a tighter hold. I have swapped slides on the Compact and ant the 75B wihich makes for a different pair to shoot. As you, I like the pistols plain with no rail nor lanyard loop.

This is how they should be.


This is with the slides swapped.

The only thing I do not like is that it gets heavy after carrying it all day. A couple of years back I found a lightweight Compact on line, but was too slow on making an offer. It was a lightweight frame, but with the manual safety.
