CZ 75 and its variants with complete info

The CZ 75 is a pistol made by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod (CZUB) in the Czech Republic. First introduced in 1975, it is one of the original "wonder nines" featuring a staggered-column magazine, all-steel construction, and a hammer forged barrel. It is widely distributed throughout the world. It is the most common handgun in the Czech Republic. Variants:- CZ 75 The original CZ 75, easily identified by the heavily stepped slide and short slide rails. CZ 75 Late version, easily identified by longer slide rails and shorter slide-step. CZ 75 B Second-generation CZ 75, upgraded with an internal firing pin safety, squared and serrated trigger guard, and ring hammer. CZ 75 BD A variant of the now-common CZ 75B (B standing for firing pin Block) with a decocker replacing the traditional manual safety. (D stands for Decocker.) This variant is quickly becoming the most common of the CZ 75B models, due to the additional safety the decocker safety provides. CZ 75 BD POLICE Variant of the CZ 75 BD equipped with loaded chamber indicator, reversible magazine catch, lanyard ring, checkered front and back strap of the grip and serrated trigger as standard.
