TAKING A PEEK AT THE FIRST CZ 75,
SN 00001

Guns.com recently had the honor of visiting CZ's historic flagship factory in Uhersky Brod, in Czechia, the Czech Republic, and we got to take the first CZ 75 out of its resting place.

Designed starting in 1969 by the brothers Koucky (Josef and Frantisek) for CZ as a 9mm parabellum chambered pistol made for commercial export, the handgun known as the CZ 75 was finished by early 1975 (hence the designation) with five pre-production samples (serial numbers 00001 through 00005) carefully assembled for testing and evaluation. Some of these T&E samples chalked up over 11,000 rounds in testing with no breaks or serious issues, and the gun soon went into full-scale production with a few minor, mostly cosmetic revisions.
