CZ-USA continues to build three compact 75 series pistol models at lower prices, each with a unique feature set tailored to individual shooting needs. All models are 9mm high capacity double stack and share a common magazine size.
For nearly five decades, CZ built various pistol models around the beloved CZ 75 design, a lineage carried on in these modern compact models. The CZ 75 is known for its comfortable grip, smooth factory trigger system, and distinctive frame slider design. Current compact versions of these pistols include the 75 Compact, 75 PCR, and 75 P-01.
They inherit the best design features of the CZ 75, including its comfortable grip, smooth factory trigger system, and distinctive frame slider design. The main differences between the models are their overall weight, whether (or not) they have an accessory rail, and whether they use a thumb safety or disarm lever.
He CZ 75 Compact it is a smaller version of the classic double-action CZ 75. It retains the steel frame of its big brother with a shorter barrel and grip, making it easier to conceal and retains most of the full-size model’s weight to reduce recoil. It uses a manual safety and features fixed three-dot metal sights for a sharp sight image and fast target acquisition. Compared to the CZ 75 B, the tradeoff for its smaller size is a reduced magazine capacity of 15+1.
CZ 75 PCR It is named after the ‘Police of the Czech Republic’ and is designed for police and military use. The PCR retains the basic design of the 75 Compact but features a ¼ pound lighter forged alloy frame. CZ reinforced the frame to improve its strength, giving it a slightly wider profile. A more significant departure from the 75 Compact is the change to a lever-off decoil instead of the thumb safety. The PCR adds a snagless rear sight and a loaded chamber indicator to its list of features. A set of forward serrations give the PCR additional gripping surface for chambering rounds, which is helpful in the CZ 75’s low-profile slider-frame design.
He CZ 75 P-01 it came from the CZ tactical pistol development program. CZ added an accessory rail and dust cover to the P-01’s frame, improving its performance and reliability. At the same time, they use a forged alloy frame and a decocker system like the PCR. Eventually, engineers replaced the latchless sights with fixed three-dot sights.
When deciding between models, shooters consider several factors. The ability to mount a light or laser on the pistol limits the choice of the P-01. The 75 Compact’s steel frame adds recoil-absorbing weight and will feel very familiar to those who ride the full-size CZ 75. The PCR is the lightest and least bulky pistol in the compact line and makes an excellent concealed pistol.
