Was there any other text in CZ's reply?
I would be pissed if I bought one.
Well, CZ-USA doesn't think you should be. Heck, they think you should be thrilled to own such an exclusive, limited edition collectible that's not only one of the most limited CZ P-01's ever produced (LMAO) but the only CZ ever made with slide rollmarks produced by their super-duper top secret laser auto-pencil, representing the very cutting-edge of Czech-Slovak technology.
Yeah, I you should be so lucky!
You gotta love that response from CZ-USA. "Yeah, we knew it really wasn't stainless steel but, hey, look at how limited and collectible it is anyway!"
$20 says they'll 'find' another 'rare' batch of them before the end of the year. Hopefully, they'll label them as nickel-plated instead of stainless.
Mossberg did this with their JIC Shockwave. It is marketed as a stainless gun until you find out it is stainless cerakote
Update: RMA received last Thursday, 6/13/19. Shipped to CZ-USA on 6/14/19. Package showing in-transit. No further coms from CZ-USA but, will keep you posted. I'm hopeful they'll do the right thing.
This is quite possibly the dumbest reason to lose respect for a gun maker. I’ll do you a favor and buy your CZs at a huge discount since you don’t like them anymore lol
I’ve lurked here plenty and been here long before you, so i know you don’t mind giving unsolicited opinions. Figured you’d like a dose of your own medication. CZ is a stalwart supporter of 2A and will never lose my respect for that reason. You on the other hand lose respect for suggesting they’re not worthy because one gun’s finish isn’t perfect and then went all snowflake on a web forum to a stranger. I had a CZ 97 once that the bushing walked out under fire and caused the gun to seize up. I needed warranty repair and CZ fixed it, no questions asked. Did I trust the gun anymore? No. Did i immediately sell it? Yes. Do I still respect CZUB/CZUSA, of course. Do I go cry about it on a public forum and make a virtue signaling post about how I’ll never patronize the company again, no.

That's great that you're fine with a manufacturer intentionally misrepresenting an item
Did you get a final, verified story on which part of the national or domestic CZ distribution or retail food chain actually commissioned these, and labeled them? I don't recall seeing that actually described in no uncertain terms. They're obviously starting to take care of people on it, but I haven't yet seen any indication that the factory actually set out to deliberately misrepresent the item. Do you have that scoop yet?
