CZ 75 short rail - 1978

[OLIAR15]

I just bought a pair of CZ 75 and they arrived today. Found them on the classified of a local website, private seller. I initially wanted to buy only one, but we then agreed a deal for the pair

This one was built in 1978, one of 6’047 produced that year.

It looks absolutely pristine, not a scratch, no visible wear, although I did not field strip it yet.























Two mags serialised to the gun

And a manual in German

Neat looking pistol. What was the point/reasoning of the short rail vs the standard rail?

I’ve read they had some problems with frame (or slide) cracking so modified the design with a longer rail

Here’s my 1986 pre-B model from 1986 to illustrate the difference

Those look like they were just test fired at factory, purchased and never fired again! Great find! Enjoy!
