I'm wanting to get a SA 75b  and i've read some stuff about the triggers being not great on them. Normally I would check one out in the store but there aren't any dealers around here stocking the SA model.  So it looks like I may be forced to order one online.  Is the trigger on these good to go or am I better off getting the double action model?

1911, M9, USP, P220, P226, Tokarev, 1895 nagant, FNP 45 to list a few.  To keep it simple how does the trigger compare to that of a 1911?

I like the SA trigger. It's good from the factory, but can be made to be excellent.

Mine has a lot of sear engagement from the factory and I do notice one notch of creep in it. When shooting fast, I don't notice it. When shooting slow, I notice it, but it doesn't really bother me. Someday I would like to clean it up though.

No pivoting trigger is really going to compare on equal ground to a sliding trigger.

I would say that an out-of-the-box 75B SA will have the best SA trigger of any contemporary out-of-the-box service pistol that also features some type of FPB. (It's certainly going to be at the top in its price range, no doubt about that.)

With the FPB removed, CZ SAO triggers can be tuned to rank right there with the best BHP triggers, approaching 1911 levels.

Those people are full of shit, IMO. I own both the 75SA & the SA Tactical Sport. Triggers on both are simply wonderful.

I have a 75-SA from the custom shop. Comp hammer, trigger and fpb removed. Under 3lbs, crisp and very short reset. The onlt thing I have shot that is better is a tuned STI/SVI 1911. You can get a tuned CZ A LOT cheaper than a STI.

Mine has been reworked adding a flat trigger and a comp hammer,it breaks at 2 1/2 lbs.It is real smooth a little stoning and it will be even smoother.My Tactical Sport is awesome right out of the box under 2 lbs and we did nothing to it and won't mess with it.
My 2 cents, worth buy it you won't regret it CZ's are awesome.

If you want to get as close to a 1911 trigger do the following:
1)  SA flat trigger
2)  Competition hammer
3)  Get rid of the FPB
4)  Polish moving parts

The trigger will break very cleanly with almost no creep.  Akin to a very good but not great 1911 trigger.  The reset is short but again not as short as a 1911.  Probally the longest 1911 reset that you ever tried.  The reset will be shorter than any modern pistol you tried but still not as short as a 1911.  Compared to the Sig 226, Glock, M&P with Apex kit, Beretta 92 series, FNP.    

Edit:  to answer the op's question the 75B SA is definitely going to be better than the plain jane 75B.  75B triggers, well they just suck.

75B SA trigger is OK. the hooks are long and you can feel the sear move across and see the hammer move.
it bugs some people, others are OK with it. I would call it more of a service grade trigger vs a target trigger.

its pretty much the same on a DA/SA gun, only the trigger style is different.

A Tactical Sport has an awesome trigger from the factory. breaks clean about 2.5#.

Much can be done to clean up a 75B SA action. recutting the sear and hammer, or installing a CZ comp hammer or one from Cajun Gunworks. Respringing the gun and some polishing, it's possible to get a trigger under 2# if you want that sort of thing.
