CZ 75 vs CZ 75B vs CZ 85

[gnmontey]

Any difference in frame size?

Saw a 75B at the GS today that appeared to be smaller than my 85 Combat? Didn't get a chance to handle it.

I don't thinks so

 

[trebor2880]

Me neither. The only difference betwwe the 75 and 85, are the adjustable sights, as far as I know.

 

[Shanks4300]

The 85 has ambi controls as well.

 

[Pistolwhiptricks]

Frame size is exactly the same.

 

[IM_Lugger]

Yep same size, 100%

 

[trebor2880]

The 85 has ambi controls as well.

Just noticed that the Kadet doesn't.

Frame is identical. Trigger has camming action on these models. You pull the trigger, it moves backward before falling. 75 and 85 has no Firing Pin Block. 85 has Ambi Safety and Slide Stop whereas 75 has the standard left-hand controls. 85 Combat in particular has adjustable sight.

 

[gnmontey]

Another GS illusion I guess.

Kadet is based on the 75, so only left side controls

Is the Kadet smaller? Maybe that is what I saw, and the label was wrong?

Nope. The Kadet uses the exact same frame as the CZ 75/85.

Nope. The Kadet uses the exact same frame as the CZ 75/85.

yep, exactly right. I think if you purchase a dedicated Kadet rather then the kit, it comes on a 75 frame. But it will fit on any 75 or 85. As mentioned the only difference is that the 85 is ambi.

 

[gnmontey]

Well... there you go. Didn't realize my 85C was so dainty

Explains why every time I see a BHP at my LGS, I think that's small enough, that would work. A pistol mirage of some kind

Since no one seemed to say this yet...
Differences between 75 and 75B is that the 75B has a firing pin block. For the most part it seems the 75B replaced the 75 except for competition guns such as the 75 SP-01 and Czechmate...

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong on any of these facts as I am just working from my memory when I bought my shadow...

Al three have the same frame. The 75 and 85 are the same frame but the 85 is simply the ambi Safety model. The 75B has a firing Pin Block. There is also an 85B model with a Firing Pin Block. The 85 Combat is the model with the adjustable sites.

I have the preB CZ75. Amazing handgun. It seems to be identical in size to every CZ75 variant I have seen out there, including CZ's own variations.
