CZ 75 Series

An icon ahead of its time

The CZ 75 pistol is one of the most iconic handguns of all time.

A symbol of Czech engineering and forward-thinking design, it was first brought to life on Frantisek Koucký’s drawing board with a clear focus on comfort, accuracy, and rugged reliability. The result was an all-metal, high-capacity pistol with an innovative DA/SA trigger mechanism, external hammer, and ergonomics that set a new standard in the industry.

All Models

For its time, the CZ 75 was revolutionary. From the natural grip shape and intuitive controls to the smooth double-action trigger pull, it changed how shooters engaged with their sidearms. These qualities helped it become a global favorite and the inspiration for generations of modern pistols.

Even today, the CZ 75 sets the standard. Its design DNA lives on in today’s CZ lineup, delivering shooters worldwide the performance they expect from a proven classic.

The CZ 75 is a living legend. A link between tradition and the future.

Unique Trigger Mechanism

One of the key innovations that set the CZ 75 apart from its contemporaries was its unique trigger mechanism, offering both double-action (DA) and single-action (SA) modes. At a time when most service pistols favored one mode or the other, the CZ 75 delivered an exceptionally smooth trigger travel and remarkably low pull weight in both operations, allowing for highly accurate and intuitive shooting even in high-stress situations.

Advanced Ergonomics

All CZ 75 pistols are designed with comfort and control in mind. Weight balance and grip design ensure a natural point of aim and fast follow-up shots.

Secure Grip

The shape of the grip and grip panels (polymer or rubber), with compact models coming with a checkered front strap, ensure a comfortable, stable, and safe grip in all conditions.

Cocking Serrations

The CZ 75 P-01, CZ 75 SP-01, and CZ 75 SP-01 TACTICAL have two pairs of cocking serrations on the slide. The rear serrations feature concave grooves for more comfortable, safe, and reliable handling.

Spacious Trigger Guard

Designed to accommodate gloved shooting, the oversized trigger guard enhances control in all conditions.

Controls

Slide Stop

Every CZ 75 model includes a slide stop that is easy to reach and use without adjusting your grip.

Swappable Magazine Release

The magazine release button, near the bottom of the trigger guard, can be easily swapped by users from left to right on most models, while maintaining quick, intuitive, and comfortable operation.

Sights

Durable Iron Sights

CZ 75 series pistols are equipped with iron sights that provide a superb sight picture for quick and intuitive aiming.

Safety Features

Manual Safety or Decocking

The CZ 75 series pistols are equipped with either a manual safety or lever for safe decocking. Both are positioned to ensure intuitive operation.

Safety Notch on the Hammer

All CZ 75 series pistols have a hammer safety notch that prevents unintended contact with the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, allowing for safe DA carry.

Automatic Firing Pin Block

Another internal safety feature that provides CZ 75 series pistols with superior drop safety is an automatic firing pin block, which is deactivated at the moment of firing.

Cold Hammer Forged Barrel

All CZ 75 series pistols are equipped with a cold hammer forged barrel manufactured by CZ, which consistently provides high accuracy and ensures a long service life.
