| Although I have read good things about the CZ's, fun stores around here don't carry them. However, Academy had a few in stock the other day and I got to handle the 75d compact. I am already sold on the feel, but I had been eyebelling the 75bd on their website for a while. Maybe I will eventually get both, but which would you get first.? |

Why are you asking us? It is all about what you want. Both are good choices. Since you asked, I would get the compact. Ha. That is true. Just wondering. I have a Smith 5906, a 910, and a Beretta right now and have been thinking of another 9mm since the ammo is reasonable. I have not been shooting .44 and .45 lately. I have also been considering a Springfield 1911 in 9mm. Too many choices. |

Neither. I'd get a 75B, 75B SA, SP01, or 75 Compact. I don't like decockers - I prefer Condition 1.  I'm in the same exact boat as the OP. I really like the de-cocker, personal preference. I've found few stores in my area that ever have them in. I'm really thinking 75bd, but I have kind of small hands, I need to get my hands on one again and be sure. I'm wondering if the Compact might be a better fit, but I think I'd prefer to be stocking up on the standard 16 rd mags... Oh, the decisions... |

Well, a CZ 75 16rd mag will fit just fine in a Compact, it will just stick out a little bit. |

You gave me some really helpful information which led me to buy my Kadet. Hence I fell in love with the cz75. Now I want one in 9 x19 and it's decision time...

My dealer got a compact in last week and liked it so much he kept it for himself but he did order one for me. I really like the feel but will probably change the plastic grips for Hogue rubber. Anyone know of a good video on disassembly of the CZ 75s?
Are all the decockers on the 75s stiff. Will be the first all steel pistol I've owned. |

The trigger mechanism is a big PITA, and best left to a pro IMO...even though I did work on mine. Standard field stripping is easy. There are witness marks on both the frame and slide. Push the slide back a bit until the line up, then knock the slide stop out and pull the slide forward and off the gun. |
| I'm not planning to disaasemble any thing right away but would like to know how and a well done video has always worked better for me than a book. Thanks for the info on field striping. Delivery of my compact 75 slipped from yesterday to Friday. Several of us hang out at this gunstore and most (not me) know a lot about guns. One is an armorer and I'm sure he can help if I ever need it. |
