What's wrong with this picture?

Luckily I figured it out before someone else did!

Marked as a polycoat, way too low in price for a stainless.

Bingo! Always wanted this gun. Never thought I'd find one in person, much less for below cost.

You should haggle at least 10% off on top of it

Yeah it was $491. They don't discount guns anymore which is a bummer but somehow I think I stole this one. I can't wait to shoot it. What do you guys keep your stainless shiniest with? Mobil1 on a cloth? Flitz? Wax?

It was there long enough for you to take a picture of it.

You do realize that someone probably just sprayed it with chrome paint.

Is it new or used? As great as CZ's are and I love them to death, we generally price used ones on the low side because they are actually a tougher sell because not as many people know about them, or want a full sized steel 9mm. I love my 75.. but I have seen some go dirt cheap, I only paid $300 for mine, but its not stainless, black is better.

CZ has had a bumpy road here in the US.
Being behind the Iron Curtain for so many years couldn't have helped.
But considering how many Italian clones have been imported and sold, it's a mystery as to why CZ hasn't been more successful.
After all, they invented it.
Jeff Cooper even liked them and said so many times.

By golly, that is just about borderline stealing. Maybe God won't bring it up when you are sitting in his judgement seat. That thing is so pretty, I would be afraid to carry it. Might get a scratch on it. Would stay locked up in the safe 99.999%
of the time. One of those you get out and show your buddies...I'm jealous, that's all...So...
you lucky dog
