CZ 75 first Gen

They came out first, that makes them first generation. After that then came a second generation. This of course is ignoring the transitional models. ;)

The following is an early first generation CZ75 with a BoMar rib installed. As far as I know the first generation guns had a round triggerguard rather than the current style.

Here is my vintage 1984 CZ-75 Pre-B:

Apart from the rounded trigger guard (& numerous dings & scratches...:p ), another difference is that the Pre-B models don't have a firing pin block. Some contend that this makes for a smoother trigger pull...:confused:

Have no idea how old my pre-b is, but it goes bang every time, is dead nuts accurate, eats any ammo I put into it...
Other than the fact that I love it, do you need any other info? ;)

There should be a two digit date stamped above the extractor.
 
Here's mine from '86. Some rub marks in the paint but feels great in the hand and goes bang every time. :)



The "Made in Czechoslovakia" is kinda cool too! Nothing like having a piece of history from a now defunct country.
 
Thank you all for your generous help, my aquaintance is looking to purchase one. Preferably in next to new condition.

Will post in the E&E after i find out more details from him.

Again thank you all, those are some fine looking handguns.
 
But now I have a question... the mag retention spring... is this something they still have?
It's one reason mine hasn't made it out to IDPA yet. :redface:
I've been told if you remove it, you may have minor issues with mag alignment. :confused:
 
The mag retention spring is handy when you have to do a mag change with retention of the old mag.

Just removing it is no good. If you pull it out you have a problem with alignment. If you angle the mag back a bit it can prevent the mag from being inserted properly, then you have to play with it. I had mine out for a while then put it back in.

If it becomes a problem then I will make a straight replacement that does not restrict the mag.
