CZ 75 short rail - 1975
« on: February 16, 2021, 11:02:42 AM »
This is the main attraction, the star of the show. And the reason I joined this forum, to learn more about those early models. I was going to buy only this one but then we agreed on what I consider a good deal on two guns including the 1978 I posted separately. I paid 1750.- Swiss francs for the pair, which is equivalent to 1960.- US$.

So, number 01056, one of 54 produced in 1975 according to this forum (plus 5 prototypes). I understand those were pre-production examples, as the real production only started in 1977 (and only 18 were produced in 1976).

It is also in great condition, almost as new and no apparent wear (I have not field stripped it yet). One mag only, serialised to the gun, no box or manual.















The extractor has a plum colour




The trigger is black and serrated instead of silver and smooth on the production models

I took both to the 25 meters indoor range today.

Shot the 1978 first



Seems to shoot a tad left for me

I bought a cheap MTM rest from Brownells, to confirm







Yep, confirmed

Then the 1975











Better centred for me

The 1975 seems to have a better trigger pull, I’ll need to measure them. However the serrated trigger is quite aggressive on the trigger finger.

What a thrill shooting those historical firearms

I seem to like EVERY blued CZ ever made but the blued and shape together put this at the top.

Why use 911 when it's faster to use 1911 or 9mm?

Unfortunately, the odds were stacked against you as none of the 1975-made pistols appeared to have made it into the US for obvious geopolitical reasons back in the era. It would have required at least one re-export from the countries they went to that included Western Europe, Middle East and even Peru over a span of a few years. Two were sent to Switzerland so this pistol might well be one of the two.
