CZ 75B Stainless

CZ-75B_001I’ve always been interested in the Czech CZ 75. Cloaked in mystery during the first decade of its existence, it was rarely seen in the West. Developed in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic) in 1975, it combined several of the best features of other service pistols with some of its own.

It became a favorite of spies, soldiers of fortune and collectors with deep pockets. With the fall of the Iron Curtain, 75s became widely available in the U.S., but I never got around to buying one.
I later saw several tucked into the waistbands of CIA and Blackwater types when I visited the “Green Zone” (the secure area in Baghdad). I decided that I needed a CZ 75 as soon as I got back stateside.
