The CZ 75 is a semi-automatic pistol made by Czech firearm manufacturer Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod (ČZUB). First introduced in 1975, it was one of the original "wonder ~~nines~~" handguns, and features a staggered-column magazine, all-steel construction, and a hammer forged barrel. It has been widely distributed throughout the world, and is the most common handgun in the Czech Republic.

The CZ 75 is a short recoil operated, locked breech pistol. It uses the Browning linkless cam locking system similar to that used in the Browning Hi-Power ~~pistol~~, where the barrel and slide are locked together on firing, using locking lugs milled into the barrel mating with recesses in the roof of the slide. An enclosed cam track integral with the barrel is actuated by the slide release lever's transverse pin. After the first few ~~millimetres~~ of the recoil stroke, the barrel is cammed downwards at the rear, enabling the slide to continue the recoil stroke and eject the spent cartridge.~~<ref name = "CZ Wiki">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CZ_75 Wikipedia article for the CZ 75]</ref>~~

The CZ 75 was also one of the first high-capacity 9mm pistols with a manual safety similar to that of the Browning Hi-Power. This allows the ~~CZ 75~~ to be carried with the hammer cocked with safety applied and a round chambered, ready for use simply by switching the safety off, a configuration known as condition 1. It is somewhat unusual for double-action pistols to have this "cocked and locked" type of safety; ~~most~~ such as the Walther P38 and the Beretta 92F have a combination safety/decocking lever (as do some later versions of the CZ 75).<ref name = "CZ Gun Wiki">[https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/CZ_75 Gun Wiki article for the CZ 75]</ref>

Due to a 60 percent duty on Czech-made products at the time and because CZ failed to secure world patent protection for their design, CZ could not market their pistol in the United States when it debuted. This has led to a number of copies and clones of the CZ design. Notable CZ75 clones include the Norinco NZ-75, the IMI Jericho 941, and the Bren Ten.
