The CZ 75 is a double-action semi-automatic handgun produced in the Czech Republic / Czechoslovakia. First produced in 1975, the CZ 75 quickly gained a reputation for reliability and excellent ergonomics as well as the unusual feature of having the slide run along the inside of the frame (similar to the SIG P210). The CZ 75 has undergone a series of changes throughout it's history, resulting in a number of variants:

The "First Model" or "Short-railed" CZ 75, distinguishable by its shorter slide rails.
The "Pre-B" CZ 75' intended for export, identifiable by its full-length slide rails, rounded triggerguard, and horn hammer.
The current CZ 75B with internal firing pin safety, features full-length slide rails, ring hammer, and two-handed tiggerguard.
The CZ 75BD, same as the CZ 75B but with a decock lever in place of the safety switch
The CZ 75SAO, Single-action only variant. notable by its match (straight) trigger, beavertail tang and enlarged safety switch.
The CZ 75 Compact with a shorter (3.8 inch) barrel, railed dustcover, and beavertail tang.
The CZ 85B, a CZ 75B with the safety and slidelock controls replicated on the right side of the frame for left-handed use.
The CZ 75 Automatic, a CZ 75 with full-auto fire capability. Distinguishable by the extended muzzle break and magazine-foregrip attachment.

The CZ 75 has also spawned a large number of "clones", most of which alter or improve upon the design, including the Bren Ten, Sphinx AT 2000, Jericho 941 and Tanfoglio T95.
