Century Arms CZ 75 9mm Pistol

This is a CZ 75 in 9mm brought in by Century Arms. The distributor lists it as a plain 75 with no variant suffix, so the exact sub model is not stated anywhere in the feed. What is certain is the platform. The CZ 75 arrived in 1975 with a steel frame, a double action first shot with single action follow ups, and a slide that rides inside the frame rails rather than on top of them.

That inverted rail arrangement is the reason the gun shoots the way it does. It puts the bore low in the hand and keeps a lot of steel between the shooter and the reciprocating mass, so the muzzle stays flatter than most 9mm service pistols of the period. The grip is one of the better ones ever put on a duty gun, and the natural point of aim is the first thing most shooters notice when they pick one up. The sights are fixed. The 75 has been in police or military service somewhere in the world continuously since it was introduced, and the number of pistols other companies have built on its pattern says more about the design than any specification sheet does.
