New CZ 75BD & 75DPCR in stock 9/24/15…

Good morning all.  I can almost see the weekend and it brings a smile to my face.  One of the firearm manufacturers that doesn’t get enough love in my opinion is CZ.  They are one of the worlds largest suppliers to police and military, and their weapons have the reputation of a ridiculous level of reliability.  The US Military MRBF (Mean Rounds Between Failure) threshold is 500 when they are considering options for sidearms.  The CZ 75 platform had an average number of stoppages of 7 per 15,000 rounds fired or an MRBF of 2,142.  That is impressive no matter how you want to look at it.

Two CZ 75 platform weapons arrived this morning.   Let’s get started with the CZ 75BD.  This is CZ’s full size service pistol.  She’s DA/SA with a decocker but no safety (that’s what the D in 75BD stands for), has a full steel frame and slide with a durable black polycoat,  a 4.7″ barrel chambered in 9mm.  These weapons are not light if you are used to firing a GLOCK, but recoil is basically nothing considering it’s a 9mm weapon.  They are very naturally pointing weapons due to the grip angle and design, but they have a very low bore to sight distance which helps as well.  She comes with two 16 round magazines and will run non-stop as any good tool should.  If you don’t mind thinking outside of the box on a nice home defense/range weapon, the full size CZ 75BD could be a great addition to your collection.

 

The second entry from CZ this morning is the CZ 75DPCR which is their smaller and lighter version of the platform intended for concealed carry.  Same DA/SA action with the decocker and no safety, but they lightened the little one up a bit with an Alloy Frame instead of Steel to make the concealed carry aspect a little easier on you.  Barrel length is 3.8″ which almost a full 1″ shorter than the full size.  The interesting part to me is that while this weapon is considerably smaller, you still get two 14 round magazines which is only a two round reduction from the full size.  The 75DPCR comes with a very comfortable set of rubber grips on her that are evil when you are out weapon shopping because when you put this weapon in your hand, you won’t want to let it go.  It’s an extremely well thought out and ergonomically comfortable option for a concealed carry weapon in 9mm.  Come by and put her in your hand.  As always, thank you for reading the Blog at gunshinearms.com
