Brief Info on the
CZ75
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 Czech republic). This full-size
semiautomatic pistol first appeared in the 1975, and the production began circa
1976. CZ-75 was obviously intended for the export market. The CZ-75 accumulated
best features from many preceding designs. Resulting pistol was aesthetically
attractive, comfortable to handle and shoot, quite accurate and reliable in
operation. Made by CZ in various versions and modifications, CZ-75 was also
widely copied and cloned. Most popular of CZ-75 copies are (or were) made by:
IMI (Jericho-941, Israel), Tanfoglio (TZ-75, TZ-90, T-95, Italy), Sarsilmaz
(M2000, Turkey), ITM (AT-88, Swiss), Sphinx (mod.2000, Swiss), Norinco (NZ-75,
China), Springfield (P9, USA).
CZ-75 is now in service with Czech
police (in the form of compact CZ-75 P-01). It is also used by Turkish police,
and by several police departments in USA. By opinions of most experts, CZ-75 is
one of the best combat pistols in its class.
CZ-75 is a short recoil operated,
locked breech pistol. It uses a fairy standard Browning locking system, with
cam-shaped cut below the barrel, which lowers the barrel on recoil stroke.
Barrel locks into slide with two locking lugs, located just ahead of the
ejection port. The slide rides on the internal rails, machined on inside of the
frame. This system, originated by the Swiss SIG P210 pistol, provides more
smooth cycle and better tolerances, resulting in greater accuracy. In basic
models, the double action trigger system with exposed hammer has a frame mounted
manual safety, which allows for "cocked and locked" carry. Since the late 1980s,
all CZ-75 type pistols are fitted with internal firing pin safety
