These are currently available in a full size and compact size with optic cut models to follow soon. I think I might give the compact optic cut model a try when it becomes available.

I was intrigued with these when they were announced THREE YEARS AGO.
To finally bring them to market without an OPTICS version available seems a Major FAIL.

Very interesting gun. Glad they decided to make a compact version

Agree, but we will see optic cut versions in the near future.

Hope so.
Has features of both CZ and 2011 that should make it a superior firearm.

They probably took a page out of the Glock play book like Glock did on the G43X. First a G43X with no Pic rail or optic cut/ MOS slide for the early adopters, then later G43x's with those features. Then many early adopters sell theirs and buy the newest versions.

My D&W 1911 won my heart, an optics cut compact would be hard to pass on. How much are they going to ask for these little pearls ?

About $1900 or so MSRP.

Prices on GunBroker are high right now.

Fondled and dry fired one in LGS. Was impressed for the price.

A nice 1911 humped a sexy CZ, and it came out with nice eyes (sights, though I prefer a red optic instead of green), and the trigger is very nice.

I really wanted so badly to like this gun. But why did they put what looks to be a trigger sourced from Strike Industries on a high end pistol? Ugh. I know I am being picky but that kind of ruins it for me. Total cheeseball move.
