I finally scored one. Muzzle wear but original holster and mag carrier. I picked it up from my FFL yesterday and we were out innawoods today for an annual tradition of MG's and friends so I brought it along.

Congrats! I've always wanted to pick one up. Made strong runs at the last two that were on GB, but, once I was getting into the $2K+ range, I regained my sanity and backed off.

Enjoy!

Very nice! I'm also happy to have scored an early one.

Probably the first one I've seen a photo of. I like its holster and magazine carrier. Gotta ask, what is that thing laying aside it on the tree stump ?

B&T USW. It's supposed to be a PDW with stock but currently just a pistol. Basically a Swiss CZ75 clone Sphinx lower with enclosed slide upper and Aimpoint.

Nice score!

I'm jonesing for a B&T USW-P... any idea if they're available anywhere on this side of the pond?

Edelweiss has a couple right now for a lot less than that: https://edelweissarms.com/prem...bc_fsnf=1&Model=P220

Still too expensive for me right now, but I enjoy "window shopping" on their site from time to time... :-)

P75’s have an A serial number or Z serial number if Swiss Customs. The others are normal 220’s

Nice!

I watched a few P75s on Brokegunner, but got distracted by a P220 in 9mm Luger instead.

But "A"s can also be police. Saw one "Z" but couldn't afford it. The photo shows an Army holster while the police use Black.

Thanks. I’ve looked at P75s Edelweiss has had in the past, but, didn’t like where the import markings were located.

Not that they were bad, but, my preference is where TAI marks them down at the bottom of the grip.

Interesting. I thought those issued to Police were P220s.

Customs and Swiss border police is not LEO. Both are federal organizations, not organizations of the cantons like the police is. A brown P75 holster would be correct with Z (Zoll=Customs) prefixed Pistol 75.

Both are army holsters. The army went from green to black for a reason I don't know, respectively don't understand.

It’s funny how something one has never seen reappears in a short time span.
I just handled that model in Plano, TX in Riflegear. They had the folding stock, as well.
Pretty interesting, yet pricey for what it is.

Re P-75 holsters are dated with year by Swiss mfgs. Likly the green were early issues for military then changed to black.

OP, forgive me for going OT, but a good leather holster made to the same design as that military holster might wind up looking pretty dang nice.

Very nice find, I like the "P" stamp.

What year do figure your P75 is from?
Thanks for showing.

.

Very nice find, thank you for sharing it with us.

My black leather Sig P75 holster is dated 1984 along with mfg, checked my matching black leather mag pouch and I didn't see any year or mfg. Op any chance of you checking your green mag pouch for year/mfg. On the look out for a P75 but until then a KC/1992 45auto P220 will have to substitute in the holster. Out of curiosity I tried the P220 45auto mag in the P75 mag pouch and it fits no problem. Also tried a P225 mag and it fit fine with room to spare. Mag poch in very decent shape for age, excellent quality leather/construction like the holster.

My Green P75 army holster is by W. Utzinger and dated "75".
I have two Black versions dated in the eighties.I haven't seen a dated magazine pouch in any color.
