CZ 75 B 9mm vs FN High Power 9mm

Both are full-size hammer-fired 9mm Luger pistols with manual safeties, fixed-to-adjustable steel sights and two magazines, and neither is optic-ready. The FN High Power 9mm holds 17 rounds to the CZ 75 B 9mm's 16, runs a 0.1" longer barrel (4.7" vs 4.6"), sits 0.22" taller (5.62" vs 5.4") and weighs 4.8 oz more (40.0 oz vs 35.2 oz). The CZ is 0.1" longer overall (8.1" vs 8.0") and 0.05" wider (1.4" vs 1.35"), with a 6.1" sight radius to the FN's 6.37". The CZ is DA/SA with a 4.5 lb listed pull; the FN is single-action at 5.0 lb. MSRP is $899 against $1,199.

Pick the CZ 75 B if:

• You want the $899 MSRP rather than $1,199, a $300 difference
• You want a double-action first shot with a 4.5 lb listed pull, not a single-action-only carry
• You want the lighter of the two steel-framed guns at 35.2 oz against 40.0 oz

Pick the FN High Power if:

• You want 17 rounds instead of 16 and an ambidextrous thumb safety
• You want the single-action trigger and the longer 6.37" sight radius (against 6.1") with an adjustable rear sight
• The magazine disconnect is deleted, and two sets of polymer grips come in the box

These are close on size and capacity, so the split is action type and money: a 35.2 oz DA/SA CZ at $899 against a 40.0 oz single-action FN with one more round and ambidextrous controls at $1,199.
