CZ 75 P-07 DUTY
The CZ 75 P-07 Duty represents the new generation of the CZ pistols line. Newly engineered Omega trigger mechanism improves trigger travel and with the use of fewer parts enhances the service life of this model. However, the main advantage is really easy interchange of decocking lever or manual safety.
This pistol model can show off its original design and excellent and unerring grip with instant and intuitive target acquisition. Low-lying barrel axis together with the slide backstop on the material of the frame allows keeping perfect control over handgun even at very rapid shots fired one after another. Really extensive practical tests demonstrated not only excellent accuracy and reliability of this new pistol, but also extremely high resistance and durability of all parts of this handgun, which is further enhanced through nitriding of the barrel and slide.
The CZ 75 P-07 Duty has unlike the overwhelming majority of pistols of the CZ 75 family the barrel locked into the ejection port. Defining the barrel height and its axis centricity is secured by the protrusion located at the rear section of the locking block. The slide handling facilitates eight clean-cut grooves. The original shape of the slide results from bevelling of its upper lateral edges thus facilitating placing and withdrawing the handgun to and from holster. The slide carries sights, the front sight in longitudinal and the rear sight in transverse groove, with the sight radius extension made by elongating the rear sight visual area up to the rear edge of the slide. The integral part of the slide is of course also automatic firing pin block safety. Spent cartridge case extraction is provided by robust extractor placed on the right side of the slide. Ejection of cartridge case or any not discharged cartridge is facilitated by pretty large ejection port. The slide’s recoil spring is made of rectangular profile wire. The Duty model basic disassembly is essentially the same as for the standard CZ 75, so there is no tool necessary. In case of need for more thorough cleaning the trigger and firing mechanism can also be easily and in effect almost completely disassembled. The pistol comes in the following versions: with manual safety, decocking lever and/or decocking lever with manual safety included in the packaging.
The CZ 75 P-07 DUTY pistol in cal. 9mm Luger have just undergone tests achieving satisfactory results and was approved by the authorized test laboratory as to be conforming with the standards and use applied by the US Armed Forces. The tests were conducted in compliance with NIJ Standard 0112.03, Autoloading Pistols for Police Officers.
The CZ 75 P-07 Duty pistol model ranked Česká zbrojovka a.s. among the absolute world leaders in design and manufacture of modern service pistols.
