Do I want the CZ 75B?

[TheOtherOne]

I want the trigger pull to be similar to how it is on my Glock. I can pull the trigger back on the first pull and then just barely release it and continue to barely pull it in (as long as I never fully release it) to keep firing all the rest of the rounds. I don't know what that's called, Double Action / Single Action / Double Action Only?

I notice on their site they have the 75 B, 75 BD, 75 DAO, 75 B SA, etc... Anyways, is the 75 B the one that will have the trigger similar to the Glock?

I've noticed that Glock truly has a trigger unlike anyone elses. That said, you'll find some triggers better, some worse than the Glock, but very few could you say are 'similar.' In terms of which gun has the most tunable trigger, the winner would be the 1911.

 

[12 Volt Man]

Everyone should have a CZ75 it is kind of like a Ruger 10/22, everyone needs one
Actually I would recommend you go to the range and rent one, try it out. The DAO would be the closes to the Glock, but I would not call them similar.

 

[Zundfolge]

I think the term you are looking for is Trigger Reset. More to the point you want a pistol with a short trigger reset.

I'm not sure, but I believe many pistols can be tweaked by a good gunsmith to shorten trigger reset.

Thats one of the things I love about my Steyr M40 ... similar trigger reset to the Glock, only not mushy.

 

[TheOtherOne]

Yeah, Trigger Reset sounds like the right term for what I'm trying to describe. So is Trigger Reset independent of the double action / single action stuff?

On the Kel-Tec P32 I have, it seems like I always have to fully release the trigger to fire the next round. I can't just keep it held in and then barely squeeze off all the rest of the rounds.

The P99 has an extremely short trigger reset. But doesn't feel like the Glock trigger otherwise.

I have a CZ-75 BD and it has a very long trigger reset. AFAIK, I don't think you can shorten the reset on any CZ-75 with a double action trigger. If anyone here knows for sure, feel free to speak up.

Actually if you check the s/a reset on a CZ75 its VERY SHORT....rack the slide with the trigger pulled and let it forward until it clicks. Its pretty damn short.

If youre looking for a "Glock or nothing" trigger...your out of luck. CZ's have very good triggers generally. But your looking for a very unique style of trigger.

Id highly recommend the CZ line..for the quality, accuracy, reliability and ergonomics of what you get....its almost impossible to beat.

For a first gun....If your a tried and true Glock guy...try the BD. Its the decocker/no safety gun. If you like Cond 1 get any of them.

If its a CCW....get the PCR...there is NONE better.

Shoot well

Have we just found the only person on Earth who wants to make other guns' triggers like a Glock trigger? Isn't that like saying, "I wish my next wife would get fat, ugly and mean, too!"?

 

[RON in PA]

The Glock trigger is unique and if you want a another pistol that has a very short reset get a 1911. I believe that the Glock and 1911 have the shortest resets.

I'm not looking for a "Glock or nothing" trigger, but just a really short reset. I'm actually a decent shot when I can keep the trigger held in and just barely squeeze them off. It's when I start having to stroke the trigger all the way back every time that the bullets go all over the place.

TheOtherOne,

The CZ-75B is a Double Action gun, but not a Double Action Only Gun.

On the CZ-75B you can carry it cocked-and-locked, i.e. with the hammer cocked single action and the safety on. You can also manually lower the hammer so the first shot is Double Action and all shots thereafter are single action. The difference with the 75BD is that it has a de-cocker to lower the hammer for you if you choose, rather than a safety.

The long pull you describe on your Kel-Tec P-32 is because that gun is Double Action Only (DAO) and the trigger must cock the hammer (actually on the P-32 the hammer is slightly cocked--but that is another story) each shot.

The CZ-75B single action trigger pull will be shorter, I think, than a Glock and relatively light. The hammer is cocked -- thre is just a release of the hammer. I find my CZ-75B very easy to shoot fast and accurately. I love it.

Glock trigger pulls are very unique -- they are neither double action nor single aciton -- they are called (by Glock) "safe action." The trigger pull does partially cock the striker each time--but the pull is still very light.

I hope this answers some of your questions.

 

[Sean Smith]

TheOtherOne,

The CZ-75B SA should fit the bill for you. A "cocked & locked" standard CZ-75B would be close too... I had one, and IIRC it had a short reset too. If you are fixated on the trigger pull, though, a 1911 is your best choice.

 

[Berg01]

IMHO, the CZ is an excellent value amoung the big name service pistols, and I have a CZ 75B in .40 S&W. I feel that mine has one of the best actions of any of the other 75B's that I've tried. This trigger is very smooth, not terribly heavy (and it is starting to lighten with break-in), and it has a shorter reset than some of the "out of the box" 75B's that I've tried.

But, frankly, I feel that the 'out of the box" trigger of the 75Bs can be a mixed bag. I've tried 75B's that had stacking triggers, and others that had really long trigger resets. But if you have access to a CZ gunsmith, including the one at CZ in Kansas City, these problems can be corrected.

The guns are cheap enough to buy so that you can easily justify the cost of an action job. Mine doesn't need an action job, but after I put another couple hundred rounds through it, I may send it in to CZ to have the extractor tuned, since the gun has had a few FTEs on the WalMart Winchester Value Pack Ammo, which is a somewhat common problem with CZ 75Bs.

 

[CZ-100]

YES YOU DO....

The Force is Strong...

Jump to the CZ Side...

 

[DDGator]

FWIW -- I shoot almost exclusively Wal-Mart Winchester Value Packs and have had 0 FTE (or failures of any kind) in over 1,500 rounds.

This gun can SHOOT.

 

[TheOtherOne]

So far so good! As long as you have the hammer pulled back, the trigger pull is nice enough. The reset definitely isn't as short as the Glock, but it'll do. They didn't have a Single Action one in stock, so I just got the regular 75 B. The price seemed right too: $379.

 

[glockgazda]

You bought it...

Now you will discover that the trigger reset is mile longer than Glocks, even longer than Smith, more like HP or Sig or Beretta. And the triggers are generally crap (three stage creep, as JeffOTMG calls it). Such a shame, on a gun that is as accurate as just about any Sig (except P210).

However, the reset can be shortened to be just about like on Glocks. You got to play with the sear, and you got to know what you are doing. Also, the "B" crap parts can come out, and the gun will work just fine.

Come to think of it, with SA only trigger and hammer, minus "B" parts, and sear and other parts properly massaged by a good smith, you will be stunned by the guns possibilities.

 

[railroader]

Nice gun. I really think you will like it. I put a lighter mainspring in mine. It has a good trigger and is very accurate. Mark

 

[CZ-100]

Excellent choice, You will Like it allot...

 

[Lofland]

If you have big hands and long fingers, consider buying Hogue rubber grips for it.

 

[aircarver]

CZ ! CZ ! CZ ! .......

....& definitely get the Hogue rubber grips.....
