Title: Why Is The CZ75 SA Slide Profile Different?
Post by: Maynard on April 09, 2012, 01:00:36 PM
It makes finding holsters difficult.

Is there a reason behind the larger slide profile?

? ? ? I guess I don?t understand the question ? ? ?
I haven?t noticed any difference in the B-SA Slide over any other
The Frame, YES?.Slide, NO
I may be (or probably am) wrong

As luck would have it, my SA is out getting a holster made for it so I can't take pics for comparison but when I tried to test the SA in some of my currently owned CZ75 holsters, the SA wouldn't fit or fit well due to the larger profile at the muzzle end of the slide.

It seems to me, the 75B and the B-SA have very much the same Slide design
The BD on the other hand, has a thinner Muzzle area profile on its Slide, but the Slide Rail don?t go all the way to the Muzzle either
I?ll take the full length Rails

Doesn't the 75 sa and the 75b in 40s&w have the same slide profile?

Yes, they do.  The standard 75B is contoured in the front of the slide from the end of the frame on.

My guess is that most people who purchase the SA are going to use it for a target gun.  The additional weight up front makes recoil even less.  Same reason for the .40...more weight equals more recoil control.  I personally prefer the look of the SA/.40 slide to the 75B.

That makes sense, just makes it somewhat harder to find something to carry it in.  :)

I thought that holsters for the Beretta 92 were a match for the B-SA ? ! ?
There agian, I may be wrong

I am fairly new to the CZ line and honestly have no idea what matches up for holsters.

I have a Galco for my 75B that doesn't fit the SA well and my Fobus won't work at all.

I'm having a local guy make some kydex holsters for my SA and SP01.

Actually, I?m not sure about the Beretta 92 style Holster
I did have a USAF Holster for their M92 and it worked with my B-SA
But it was MilSpec, so who knows

Maynard,

What type of carry is the purpose of the holster?  Concealed Carry, Competition, Tactical, Trail Use?  If we have a better idea of your carrying requirements, we should be able to steer you in a better direction.

Classes both teaching and as a student.

I'll also be shooting some local matches.

I have a custom-made leather holster for my bd. You can clearly see the narrower slide profile in the outline of the leather.  When I got my 75b, i wrapped it in 3-4 plastic shopping bags to add thickness,sprayed some silicone spray on the inside of the holster, and shoved the gun in until it fit, then left it that way for a few days.

Fits great now.  Still fits the BD too.

What trigger is that on your SA?

It is the original Aluminum Trigger, CZ-KC was installing to replace the Stock Plastic Trigger that came on the earlier B-SAs
It has both Pre and Post Travel adjustments
VERY NICE

After reading through this thread I didn't see a clear answer to the OP's question. It has nothing to do with being an SA per se but all 40 cal B guns have the full with slide all the way to the end, only the 9mm ones are narrowed at the end.

As far as holsters, especially for competition, i strongly suggest Bladetech. They make great stuff and they make a holster specifically for the CZ 75 SA in .40.

One difference I've notice between the SA and the .40 is that the .40 has a full length guide rod and the SA doesn't. However, they both have a beefier slide where the 75B is stepped where the frame and slide meet.

Post by: EngineerEli on November 19, 2012, 09:51:14 PM
You are right I forgot the 9mm SA also has the full length profile slide. My SA in .40 has the full length guide rod, the 9mm SA's do not.
