The CZ 75 B represents four decades of refinement in the full-size 9mm pistol category. This steel-framed handgun delivers the weight and balance that serious shooters demand for competition and duty applications. CZ's time-tested design combines European craftsmanship with proven reliability across millions of rounds fired worldwide.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer-framed competitors, the CZ 75 B's all-steel construction provides superior recoil management and consistent shot placement. The frame-mounted safety allows cocked-and-locked carry while maintaining the option for double-action first shots. CZ's proprietary heat treatment process ensures the steel components maintain dimensional stability through temperature extremes and high round counts.
Key Features
- All-steel frame and slide construction with black Polycoat finish for corrosion resistance
- 16+1 capacity with flush-fitting magazines and extended beavertail grip design
- 4.6-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with target crown for enhanced accuracy
- Ambidextrous manual safety and magazine release for left and right-handed shooters
- Three-dot sights with dovetailed rear sight for windage adjustment
- Compatible with standard CZ 75 holsters and aftermarket accessories
- Serrated slide provides positive grip for press checks and malfunction clearance
Range testing consistently shows sub-3-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The 2.2-pound trigger breaks cleanly in single-action mode, while double-action pull measures approximately 12 pounds for safe administrative handling. Law enforcement agencies across Europe have adopted the CZ 75 platform for its ability to function reliably in adverse conditions, from desert sand to Arctic temperatures.
