Sounds like a old school cool custom from back when men were men.
Good luck with the search .

I had the pistol custom built by Lathrop's in Tucson back in the mid 1970's. I do not know when they went out of business.

It is extremely accurate, I have targets, but unfortunately I do not have a photo of the pistol.

I'll keep an eye out. The sights are distinctive and definitely date the pistol.

I'm on the search for a specific CZ 75 Pre-B I sold on these forums back in 2013. Need to unpack the computer that has pictures of it to get the serial number. It was my first competition gun and I hope to buy it back.

I'm in Tucson now too, though the Pre-B was sold in Phoenix. If you make up a wanted posted I'll put it up at some ranges for you.
