About This Firearm
The CZ 75 B is a full-size all-steel double-action/single-action 9mm built for range shooting and home defense. It has an MSRP of $899. The B in the name is CZ's mark for the firing pin block, which joins the manual safety and the hammer's safety notch to give the pistol three mechanical safeties.
A manual safety is fitted but no decocker, so the hammer comes down by hand or by firing the pistol. CZ fits fixed three-dot sights to the slide, and the grips are plastic panels held on by screws. A 16-round magazine sits flush in the frame.
If you're cross-shopping, the CZ 75 SP-01 is the same action in a larger frame, with 19 rounds, an integrated 1913 rail, rubber grips and an extended beavertail, at an MSRP of $999. The CZ Shadow 2 pushes the same idea to 46.5 oz on a 4.7-inch barrel with aluminum grip panels and a 3.4 lb single-action break, at an MSRP of $1,399, and it leaves out the firing pin block this pistol is named for.

Strengths & Limitations
- CZ describes the 75 as the most copied handgun design after the 1911, and still sells it in close to its original shape.
- The barrel is cold hammer forged, and the frame, slide and barrel all carry the same black polycoat finish.
- The hammer's safety notch lets a loaded pistol sit with the hammer off the firing pin even without a decocker.
- There is no accessory rail and no optic cut, so a weapon light or a red dot means a different model in the family.
- A steel pistol of this size takes a stiff belt and a good holster to carry all day.
- The double-action first pull is more than twice the single-action weight, and moving between the two takes dedicated dry practice.
