Hi,
Found an old CZ75 old model, and being a lefty, wondering if it is possible to install an Ambi Safety, on it???
-
I'm a lefty also and the one thing that's kept me away from the CZ 75 series is you don't just add an ambidextrous safety to them. It's possible but requires machining (at least by my understanding) and I've never tried it. I have a pre B model 85 and it of course has an ambi safety as does my B series stainless model 75. The pre B's have a much cleaner trigger at least in my two examples.

Would need to mill the frame, change safeties to tumbler style and change ejector housing to tumbler style.
But it is possible.

Hi,
Thanks Gentlemen!

Given enough money anything is possible.

CZ75Bs in .40 S&W came with ambidextrous thumb safeties, as did the CZ75SA pistols in 9MM or .40 S&W.
If you absolutely can't put up with the firing pin block there are other CZ pistol options.
Then remove the firing pin block/spring, the lifter arm and spring and put a spacer in the sear cage where the lifter arm/spring were. Get a nice hammer from CZ Custom or Cajun Gun Works and an adjustable sear from Cajun Gun Works
If you don't like the .40, put a 9MM slide/barrel on it (you'll have to remove the firing pin block/spring in the 9MM slide).
Pay no attention to the right side slide release and Pre B style hammer. I added those because I like CZ85's (Pre B's with the spur hammer, I mean.) The ambidextrous thumb safeties are like what you'd find on a Pre B CZ85.

If you could find a Pre B CZ85 you'd have a CZ75 with not firing pin block and safeties on both sides of the pistol frame.
The Pre B CZ85 I bought and had refinished (before I had it refinished). No firing pin block in these either.
