I can't comment on the CZ - but I can say that unless it is winter time, I have a very hard time concealing anything larger than a Glock 26 or a P99c (or some other gun that size - smallest XD, S&W Chief's Special 9mm, etc). Its not the barrel length that's the issue - but the grip length.

Some guys here on the forum claim to be able to do it - but w/o a jacket, a 2nd shirt, a vest, or some other type of similiar clothing, these little subcompacts are the only decent caliber guns that I can conceal.

Have you tried concealing larger guns before?

Shipwreck,

Thanks for the response. I have read many of your comments and I agree with you on many of them. (I love the Walther P99c probably as much as you! )

I have never tried to conceal such a large gun. I really wish CZ would make a compact stainless gun, but they don't . I am always hesitant in doing something aftermarket to my weapons. i don't know why. I hear some horror stories how many are screwed up after they come back. I will replace grips and sights but these can easily be replaced back to the original. I will not send a gun anywhere for altering, though.

I was thinking of a belly band or shoulder holster worn under a shirt to conceal the gun. I know that ankle rigs are out of the question, but I would love to use one.

The bad thing is that where I am moving soon, I will not be in too much "winter wear". I am moving to Florida and the humidity, salt air, sweat from me, in and out of holsters, is enough to wear on a piece, that is why I am looking at Stainless. I don't know anything about the powder finish and durability of it on the CZ guns, otherwise I may look at their blued version. Can anyone sell me on the factory powdercoated finish and it's durability?

Anyways, thanks for the comment and I am enjoying this forum immensely.

Several times I have said that the CZ 75 was my next pistol only to end up buying something else. They are very nice pistols.

If you need something smaller for carry, I believe they make a compact model.

They do, and if you're the same Walther1 that's on Combatcarry.com, then I think I posted the stainless 75 compact picture for ya.

CZ also makes a 2075 RAMI, which is a very small gun, but not stainless. I hear it also lacks the classic feel of the CZ-75 line of gun, but I have held the RAMI and it felt really nice too. It, too, is made in 9mm with a 10 rd capactiy, IIRC.

Go to www.czusa.com to check out everything CZ offers.

KingAirDriver,

Thanks for following up. It is me from Combatcarry.com. I liked the picture you posted and you were actually the one that got me looking at CZ. I am going tomorrow afternoon to shoot a CZ75 Rami, Compact and regular CZ 75 at the range.

I looked on the website and all I saw the CZ75 Compact in was satin nickel. I really want a stainless gun and no coatings on it. I don't like the fact that they can chip away potentially.

Let me know if I am missing something. I will let you know how I liked them tomorrow.

Thanks again!

Walther,

Let me know how you like that Rami! I almost bought one at a recent gun show.

I bought a S/S CZ 75B recently and they are "Damn Fine" handguns. Well made, good ergonomics, durable and accurate. They are a bit large and heavy for concealment. I would go with a polymer frame handgun for CCW.
Anyway the CZ is a great handgun. Get one and you won't regret it.
