About the Gun

The CZ-75 pistol was developed by the Koucky brothers, who worked at the state-owned arms factory Ceska Zbrojovka in the city of Uhersky Brod Czechoslovakia, now the Czech republic. This full-size semiautomatic pistol first appeared in the 1975, and the production began circa 1976. It is one of the original wonder nines featuring a staggered-column magazine, all-steel construction, and hammer forged barrels. The CZ-75 accumulated the best features from many preceding designs. The resulting pistol is aesthetically attractive, comfortable to handle and shoot, quite accurate and reliable in operation. Produced in various versions and modifications, CZ-75 is also widely copied and cloned.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.

I may be "intermediate" but...
By USER4513 on 17 Oct 2023
I've spent a lot of time on ranges with rental firearms and after shooting the CZ-75B, I bought one. Aside from not being good for concealed carry (IMHO) it is one of the sweetest running pistols I've ever used. I felt that it was almost difficult to miss a target. Great looks, machining, comfort, and shooting.

World's Best Service 9mm
By R4002 on 25 Jun 2021
Jeff Cooper called the CZ 75 "the world's best service nine" and he's not wrong. The pistol (I have a CZ 75 B - the original type, no decocker - so you can carry it in Condition 1 cocked-and-locked or Condition 3....). The CZ 75 B fits the hand in a way that no other pistol does...perfectly. I prefer to simply fire every shot single-action. Flick the safety on with the hammer back....then flick it back off when ready to fire. Elegant lines. Better looking pistol than the Browning Hi-Power, to which it is often compared. NOT a Hi-Power knockoff or copy. Dozens of pistols are straight copies or clones and others built upon the CZ 75 platform. Shooting the CZ 75B is an absolute joy. It's all-steel and eats up recoil. Recoil is closer to a "push" than a "kick" and there's very little muzzle flip, even when using high-pressure ammunition. I prefer the 9mm NATO spec stuff (124 grain). Mine came with the accuracy-test target paper from the factory. They use S&B 124gr. 9mm FMJ
