I thought my buddy was full of it when he told me a local RO was killed but there it is. That range is 20 minutes from me.

Does the CZ 75 series have the same flaw?

Does the CZ 75 series have the same flaw?

“All CZ 75 and 85 pistols are available with a firing pin block and are classified as the CZ 75B/85B pistols. The optional firing pin block will allow the pistol to be carried “cocked and locked” while assuring that if the gun were dropped, the firing pin would be blocked by the safety”.

CZ-75B FP Block

Good to know. I could see myself owning a 75B. Why any company would sell a pistol that isn't drop safe in this "modern age" is beyond me.
