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.

Analysis

This 9mm compact pistol offers a compelling blend of performance and practicality for both novice and experienced shooters. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering tight groupings at typical defensive ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are a strong point, with a grip that fits comfortably in most hands, promoting a natural point of aim. Reliability is consistent, functioning smoothly across various ammunition types with minimal malfunctions during extended testing. The trigger pull is crisp in single action, averaging around 4.5 pounds, though the double-action pull feels heavier at roughly 10 pounds, which may require adjustment for some users. Felt recoil is moderate and manageable, aiding in quick follow-up shots. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat intricate due to the design, requiring patience for thorough cleaning. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges in certain regions, potentially delaying repairs.

The finest Pistol you can have
By Tacoma236 on 27 Mar 2022
Put a Cajun trigger job in for better trigger action. This pistol is supremely accurate, my first qualification shoot I almost maxed the course. This gun runs anything shoots anywhere. And if you team it up with Kusiak IWB holster you can carry it without even feeling it. I went of a P226 Issued pistol to this. AND never regretted the switch

My high capacity, high powered sidearm with two tone finish. I carry it with the standard 14-round magazine with a 16-round backup mag. Excellect CZ 75 ergonomics in a compact package.
