When you say three barrel pack for 1688 does that include the actual revolver for 1168? If so that seems to be a bargain.

I would love to see a picture of a new 715 pistol pack, with all the barrel assemblies included.

Couldn't find a picture of it online though. I may have to locate a March 2016 issue of Gun Test magazine.

Is CZ is now selling the 715 6" in the case it always came in, and including the 4" and 8" for just $520 more? I don't have any idea what DW is getting for individual B/A's, but ...

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Why not offer the 2.5"?  The case has a slot for it I think.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Well, I'm glad they are finally making additional matching BA's for this gun.

I bought a new 715, but not as a Pistol Pac. I bought the revolver last year, then later when the barrel assemblies became available I added them.

   Here are a couple quick pics of my assembled Pac. I added in a patch and a couple stickers, an assortment of colored front sights from Eric Wesson, a fiber optic front sight and an extra barrel nut from EWK, and an extra replacement rear sight from Norwich. To go along with the Pac but which does not fit in it I have a 2015 CZ-USA catalog, an issue of Handgunner magazine with an article on the new 715, and a Hogue Rosewood Laminate grip.

   FYI for anyone interested, I bought the extra barrel assemblies directly from the factory in Norwich, they had them in stock last fall. The pricing is the same as the older style barrel assemblies listed on the CZ-USA website. DO NOT try to buy the new style barrels from CZ-USA, call Norwich directly and talk to Shawn.

   Also FYI for anybody looking at new 715s to buy- all serial #s starting with RV are considered pre-production models. Most if not all the Blems have this prefix. 715s with serial # prefix DW are considered regular production models but there could be Blem marked ones in this run too. The info on the prefixes comes from emails with Keith Lawton from Norwich.

Click on the CZ link given above, then where the description of the 6" at $1168, there is an arrow to go over to other options and that is where they list the 3 barrel pack.  This is how CZ runs all their pages.

Thanks for helping me out with this. Maybe they are beginning to move in some more creative directions. I STILL think the 715 is overpriced, but the 3 barrel pack starts to make more $$$ sense
