THE CZ 75 IS STILL AN AMAZING PISTOL 45 YEARS LATER

The CZ 75 is the flagship pistol of CZ-USA and has been a staple among 9mm fans for over 45 years. Originally introduced in 1975, hence the name, the CZ 75 remains viable as a defensive pistol. It’s so widely used that CZ claims its “used by more governments, militaries, police, and security agencies than any other pistol in the world.”

I have never fired one of these. Would love to know how it stacks up against the Browning Hi Power. Although they are not exactly contemporaries; and despite the diff in capacity. If I find anything online I’ll post it..

The CZ 75's are awesome pistols that compare very well to the Hi-Power in terms of function, quality, reliability, & beauty. I've had the luxury of shooting both side by side and it would be a toss up for me personally to say which one is a better firearm though everyone will have difference of opinion on the topic.

I have a few CZ firearms but I'm no way a fan boy of any particular brand as I have firearms from a decent variety of manufacture's.

I’ve never heard of anything much wrong with CZ in general, come to think of it...🤔....Sort of the same as with the HP.
Re: your disclaimer, I concur. And I’ve always said that barring any bona-fide design flaws (as in, something doesn’t actually work as originally intended), the ones I’m a fan of are the ones that have a basically useful caliber and feel right in my hand !
 
I have never fired a CZ75, but I do own two Turkish CZ75 clones that are among my favorite range guns. I've wanted a CZ75 for years, but my TriStar L120 and C100 have been such great pistols that I haven't felt the need to make the jump to the brand name. When/If prices and availability return to normal, I fully expect to add a true CZ75 to my collection.

I have a new CZ 75 Tac and also own a Hi Power.

both excellent pistols.

18 rd cz tac is larger frame gun, but both have performed excellent for me.

the Hi Power makes a better conceal carry vs my Tac 75 though for its a little smaller

here it is with a Sig 228

OUTSTANDING setup, there !! Love it!
I am glad u posted the pics, KF... I can see - i think - that the CZ is possibly a bit large for my hands. (I’m a small guy). Looks like a longer ‘reach’ to the trigger and also a longer grip vertically. ???
There were a couple 75s at my LGS early last summer but I’d already shelled out for a Spgfld Ronin so I didn’t even handle the CZs. Didn’t want to confuse myself.

I don't own a Hi-Power but I have shot my buddies at the range on quite a few occasions.

My CZ 75 is an SP-01 tactical as seen in this picture I took a while back.

(Wonder how hard they are to find right now?)

Checkout the CZ 75 P-01 Omega for a slightly smaller lighter weight frame than the SP-01 and if you can find it in the high polished chrome it's a thing of beauty.

Thanks Tidal. I enjoy my firearms.
I have small hands . (Dont go there 🤪)
The Sig 228 and Hi Power back in the day were the 2 pistols I couldnt decide for conceal carry, so bought both. Almost 30 yrs ago. Cz 75 is a smidge bigger frame size but the grip is great for smaller hands. The CZ is actually the pistol i bought for my son

I shunned CZ for decades. Mis info I guess. Buddy finally had me fire his CZ75. Love at first feel.
Bought a 75 Tac on the spot new from the LGS and my teenage son loved it so much he declared it his.

i was long overdue for this firearm in the collection.

Yes I do 10mm, thanks for the shoutout. Here are my current CZs (and my FN Browning Hi-Power, a Belgium police trade that is a rare “Lightweight Hi-Power” (aluminum frame with barrel seat, the crossways part in the frame that the barrel cams up against, is steel)).
First two pics, my two CZ Scorpions with braces extended/folded & collapsed.
Last pic, from left to right:
Top row: CZ Orange Shadow 2; 75 B w/ G10 VZ Grips
Middle row: 75 P01 Omega; P10 S
Bottom row: 2075 BD RAMI; FN Browning Hi-Power

CZ seems to have an interesting slide to frame setup - maybe the OP article mentioned it m. It’s distinct in all the pics on this thread...
