Century Arms CZ 75 B 9mm Pistol

The B in CZ 75 B means a firing pin block and a frame mounted manual safety. That combination lets the pistol be carried cocked and locked like a 1911 or hammer down for a double action first shot, so the shooter picks the manual of arms instead of the factory picking it for them. Follow up shots are single action either way, off one of the better service triggers of the era.

The 75 B is built on a steel frame with the slide riding inside the frame rails instead of over them. That inverted rail arrangement buries a lot of slide down in the frame, sits the bore low, and produces a grip angle that points naturally for most people, which is why the platform has been copied more than any pistol since the Browning Hi Power. Sights are the plain fixed pattern. The weight settles the gun down under 9mm recoil in a way no polymer pistol can match, and the honest trade for that is a heavier load on a belt at the end of a long day. Century Arms imports this one chambered in 9mm.
