You have to be far ahead of your time. You have to be " one of a kind" , a true pioneer. And that's exactly what the CZ 75 Legend was - and still is.To understand why the release of the CZ 75 caused such a revolution in small arms design, we need to get back to the early 1970s. Back then, the 9 mm Luger started to phase out other cartridges from military and law-enforcement service. Sadly, this did not apply to former Czechoslovakia, which was a part of the Eastern Bloc. These countries relied mainly on the 9 mm Makarov. You may be wondering, therefore, why the Czechs designed the CZ 75 in 9 mm Luger? The answer is simple - it was supposed to replace the CZ 70 as a new export handgun, mainly for Western markets. And compared to this late 1940s design, the differences were night and day.
