The CZ 75 was first offered in 1975 and quickly earned a reputation for being well-made, accurate, rugged and reliable while offering natural pointing characteristics. In the past 45 years, it has been produced in many variations to better accommodate a variety of applications that include personal defense/concealed carry, military, law enforcement and competition. It is available in all steel versions. It’s also offered with an alloy frame, as a semi-compact, compact, competition and even in a polymer frame version. Each have many sub-variant models. The CZ 75 has adapted to changing times and certainly accommodates the modern shooter.
One example includes the CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical 9mm Luger that was designed specifically for military and law enforcement but has gained considerable popularity among civilians.
Features include the standard double-action/single-action firing system with an ambidextrous decocking lever, a safety stop on the hammer and a firing pin block safety. Essentially, by using the de-cocking lever the hammer goes to half-cock, which is a safety position. At this point, by simply pulling the trigger, the gun will fire. Another option is to carry the gun with the hammer fully lowered (my personal choice), which can be fired in the double-action mode for the first round, with subsequent shots being fired in single-action mode. The double-action pull is smooth and easy to make the first shot a hit (which is the most important one). But due to the natural grip shape and hand position in relation to the trigger, after the first shot is fired in double-action mode, the majority of shooters will not need to reposition the hand to continue firing in the single-action mode. (Please note that not all CZ 75 pistols feature the ambidextrous de-cocking lever as described above.)
