The gun is more concealable because the slide is shorter but way less accurate do to the shorter sighting radius.ĥ. The sighting radius is shorter than the Glock 19 which is both good and bad. The gun is so heavy its not very comfortable to carry all day longĤ. CZ is well aware of this new failed modification and they included a bag full of plastic snap caps with my gun. Make sure you have good dental insurance. The result is you get the firing pin flying back out of the gun and landing between your teeth. The gun no longer has the firing pin stop plate its been replaced with a short cut cheaper design that did away with this and now a cheap ass roll pin only holds the firing pin in and that breaks when you dry fire the gun. Do not do this on the other compact model that has an aluminum frame or you will ruin the frame.Ģ. I replaced this piece of trash with a custom stainless steel rod which you can use on this pistol because the frame is steel. The gun has a junk plastic op-rod that actually curled up when the slide was pulled back. Here is a no nonsense honest evaluation of the pistol. If you’re a DA/SA action fan, like the feel of a steel frame pistol and don’t want to compromise on capacity, this is the gun for you. If only CZ had given it some texture on the back or front of the grip. It (is the only CZ that) feels like it was made for me. The CZ 75 Compact rests naturally in the hand. The Compact’s been out long enough that there are plenty of aftermarket options for virtually every part on the gun. There’s very little you can’t change on a CZ. The Compact ate and spit out everything we fed it. If the gun were mine, I’d probably give it a pair of nicely textured G10 grips. Those plastic grip panels won’t win any beauty contests, but they’re easy enough to swap out. For 1911 fans who want more magazine capacity, it’s a commander-sized pistol that gives you 15 rounds of deterrence. For polymer pistol haters, it’s a steel framed pistol double-stack. The DA/SA CZ 75 Compact fills a niche in the everyday carry market. The CZ 75 Compact won’t let you down in the accuracy department. The results: more than good enough for government (or self-defense) work. We tested the CZ 75 Compact with a range of ammo including Armscor 115gr ball as well as JHP loads. The rear two dot sight is a dovetailed blade type sight that lets you rack the slide one-handed should you need to. Our CZ 75 Compact came equipped with night sights. That gives the CZ 75 Compact an admirably low bore axis (compare it to a GLOCK or SIG) which, along with the pistol’s 32+ oz weight, greatly minimizes felt recoil. In standard CZ fashion, the slide rails ride inside the frame, in contrast to most semi-automatic handguns. While the standard black finish isn’t anything special, the gun is nicely and cleanly finished with no tooling or chatter marks, inside or out. It uses the same linkless cam locking system designed by JMB for the 9mm Browning Hi-Power. The Compact is just a smaller version of the full-size CZ 75 B. Line up the hash marks on the rear of the slide and frame, push out the slide stop lever and the slide and barrel are easily removed. The takedown process is about as straightforward as it gets…. The Compact can also be manually de-cocked and fired from the half cock position. There was a tad of creep, but reset was pleasantly short and quick. Single-action was a much more comfortable (not to mention shorter) 5.5 lbs. The long double action trigger pull weight measured a stout 11.25 lbs. The pistol also has a passive firing pin block safety. The CZ 75 Compact has a frame-mounted manual safety lever on the left side only. Shooters like me with small hands who may have had to stretch to reach the full-size CZ 75’s bang switch won’t have a problem with the CZ 75 Compact’s length of pull. The concealed carry-ready Compact ships with two 14-round magazines. Unlike a 1911, though, the CZ 75 Compact is a double stack 9mm that give the shooter 14+1 rounds of capacity in a commander-sized package. The Compact is 3/4″ shorter in length and almost 1/2″ less in height. It’s been chopped in both length and height. The CZ 75 Compact is to the CZ 75 what a commander-size 1911 is to a government model. And then I finally picked up a CZ 75 Compact. Lots of other ballistic fish in the sea, right? As a result, I’d left CZs to CZ guys and stuck to the guns that fit me better.
