- Table top review for the CZ 75 D Compact PCR.
In this video I give an introduction to all of the main functions of this gun and talk about some of my reasons for choosing it.
There are a few simple misspeaks in the video (such as calling the mag release a slide release). If you listen to the whole thing you will hear me self-correct the terminology and you might be able to save yourself writing an instructive comment.

I've been looking at a lot of reviews on RUclips for the CZ 75D over the past month. Even though this review is 5 years old, it's been one the most informative ones I've seen so far. Helped me narrow down my choices. Thanks for posting this.
Long time Sig fan/collector. Just recently started shooting CZ and love them. After watching your vid I ordered one of these for CCW. Thanks for the content.
Thanks- very helpful. Just got the 75D Compact and reading the owners manual was difficult at best. This made it easy to understand the operation.
Just bought a PCR about a month ago - So far I really love it. Works great as a carry gun as well.
I bought one of these, an older model with the steel frame, no loaded chamber indicator, full length metal guide rod. The broken-in DA/SA rigger is nicely smoothed out. As far as I'm concerned, these pistols are perfectly designed. DA/SA, de-cocker only is the way to go. Ergos rule on this, super accurate and easy to shoot. Best kept secret in 9mm pistols.
39Thorns - Couldn’t agree more. Just traded my Glock 19 that I’ve sworn by for one of these bad boys. Totally worth it.
I'm about to pick up a 75 P-01 - basically this same gun with a rail, along with a few other minor differences. I couldn't be more excited about it. In a world full of glocks and shields, the CZ's are a very welcome change of scenery. Glocks and M&P's are great guns but I'm getting a little tired of striker fired polymers.
Just wanted to say excellent review!...I enjoyed itI have an SP01 and a PCR on the way Glad you like it... I love my digs and HKs and flock but amazingly nothing comes close to a 75I am going to try the full size SS sphinx dust one when it hits the market. Again nice review 👍🏼
I really lucked out. My local gun shop had one of these under the counter. I jumped at the chance to get it the very next day. Sold my used Glock 19 to some chump for $500 (you can get them brand new for $525 if you do a little negotiating) and picked this beauty of a CZ up.
How much did you pay ? Used CZ75D I assume. ...
I got the CZ for $600 brand new. Sold
the used Glock for $500.
@@Syrpens ah ok tnx
I have the 75-B, 75 compact & 75 PCR...By far my favorite is the CZ 75 compact ..It is a awesome weapon. accurate , all steel.
CZ USA makes quality firearms...All of the CZ guns I've shot have all been well made, accurate guns.
Nice review, I have the standard compact ( shop didn't have a PCR but finding a CZ in stock alone wasn't easy) it's a great gun and I plan to buy several more CZ pistols in the future.
I changed to a steel guide rod and replaced the cheesey phillips grip screws to allen head on my PCR. It's a great carry pistol.
What holster do you have?
Great review! I have owned or been issued almost every modern hand gun and this is on the top of my list!
Thanks for showing the loaded chamber indicator. I haven't seen such a detailed shot of that on any other videos.
Excellent! Best video on RUclips for the PCR. Thank you.
Awesome review! I sold my SIG P225 to get the CZ SP01! I just bought the PCR D waiting for the background check and then viola!! I have been drinking the CZ Kool-Aid and IMO the CZ Brand is top notch!

awesome gun bro...one of my favorites, along with the p-01 and the original 75...they just came out with a new P-01 omega convertible which is frickin awesome...give it a look
An old video, but a good one. Other than a couple of "mispeaks" good solid information. I hope you're still doing them. By the way. Good gun. The PCR is now my favorite carry gun.
Six and a half years after you posted this video, and I find it shortly after I bought one of my own.
I have four or five polymer-framed CZ pistols already. My EDC was a P10S, then a P10C (because the longer grip fits my hand better). A few months ago I added the P07, and the DA/SA trigger has brought me to have that as my EDC.
I really like the DA/SA trigger for EDC.
But I saw the P01 and the P01 Omega (which seemed a good idea since I have a P07 with the Omega fire-control system) and the 75D PCR, and all three appealed to me. I don't have the funds to buy all three, so had to choose.
It came down to the sights and the decocker. The P01 sights didn't suit me as well as those on the PCR. I thought the P01 Omega would be good because I'm accustomed to the decocker on the P07, and had taught myself to use it pretty reliably, but the PCR decocker is easier to use. I kind of wish I'd a chance to try that before I bought my P07, even though one of the points in favor of the P07 was magazine compatibility with my P10-series pistols.
The only problem I have with CZ pistols is that spare parts and holsters are a little harder to find than spares (magazines primarily) or holsters for more popular makes like SigSauer, S&W M&P, or Glock.
Some folks seem to think that CZ is the "hipster" brand of pistols. While I'm certainly not a hipster, I find that the CZ pistols fit my hands better than other brands I've tried, and every gun I'm likely to shoot is a better gun than I am a shooter, so why not go with what fits my hands better?
You should probably keep your fingers out of the barrel when the gun is loaded dude.
Kristofer Simmons I was thinking the same thing after he said “I keep it loaded”
But first one has to look down the barrel to check if a round is chambered. Can't be too careful.
👍🏻😂👍🏻
how do you fully decock the hammer from the 1/4 decocked position? also if you are in 1/4 position and you try to pull it down to fully cocked, but slip, will the hammer fling back up to the 1/4 position??
Good review man. Great pistol. I think I'me gonna have to get me one.
Nice review, thank you.
Excellent review of the PCR.
I really want one but I already have the P-01 and recently sold the SP-01 and full-size 75B. I'm not sure if I'll be able to pick one up, I'm in Nor-Cal so I'm fighting the same ridiculous anti 2A laws.
Browning bda And it's probably one of the most smooth is smooth racking and shooting pistols you will ever shoot great videos always hope you get some more shooting and practicing
I agree. My right thumb rest nicely on that top edge of the left scale. It really locks my grip.
Hi. can you give your palm measurement? My hand is kind of small so I am thinking to get this compact version.
That button on the grip frame is a Magazine release, not slide release. Hammer fired is conventional, and not the striker fired. Just saying. Otherwise, good review 👍🏼
Yep, misspeak.
I haven't reloaded in quite a while, but I do remember that ball type powder vs. extruded always shot cleaner in my pistol reloads, I remember loading up some rounds with bull's-eye, that stuff was filthy dirty.
This is the ULTIMATE EDC!!!! I have the compact steel slide and Allow Frame without decocker mine does not have a safety this is the best carry gun ever. Also you are right the regular compact does not have front serrations
So decock is to half cock. Do you know if there is an inertial firing pin or firing pin block if you manually fully lower the hammer?
A few days ago I ordered from CGW a PCR Pro model due to be made for me around first week of February 2016.
+The Enginerd Don't know if you found a good powder for your reloads but try 4.2gr of Titegroup on a 124gr bullet. Titegroup is a very clean powder...I use it on most of my reloads. Great review...
I would strongly recommend getting the Dawson Precision Tritiun sights for this. They are night sights with Tritium, but have the same profile as these sights and are able to match other form-fitting holsters. They are worth the money and make this a viable self-defense firearn
Good review👍
Great job!!!
subbed
can you decock the hammer all the way down with just using the hammer only? (by pulling it down more then letting it up slowly?)
Nope, decocker will only return the hammer halfway down. You need to either use the trigger and your thumb to slowly set the hammer down or you could just dry fire it once the gun is unloaded.
Grat gun, i always liked it a lot...
Got a PCR 4 months ago, when i dont carry a .357 I carry the PCR. Im really considering a P01
Wow, great review! Very informative.
would a full size 75 upper fit with the pcr lower?
+kamikazikaizer My intuition after holding both guns also tells me yes (If it is a CZ-75D). I think that would definitely fall outside of what CZ and I would recommend for their guns though. Take a look at this forum post: www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=29039.0
is the decocker or the magazine release reversible for left-handed shooters?
No
Why did you move to CA?
Yes, random home invasions are incredibly rare, just get a lot of ink when they do occur being so terrible. I was in buying ammo when this pistol caught my eye. It's a very natural feel, felt better than my P10c in my hands. Appreciate the informative video. Will check to see if there is a ready made steel guide rod available before I purchase.
con. No rail. pro. novak sight vs crappy rear sight on P-01. Also, for me, this grips on this gun fit better in my hand than a p01 because the p01 has a swell in the grip which for my hand doesn't work.
Anyway, this will be my next gun because it just feels great and it's also old school in design.
Got and shot it. Man, I am so happy I got this gun. I think i'm gonna pick one up for my son and my daughter too. Yes, it's THAT good.
Whereabouts in Calif., do you live? I live in the Bay Area and shoot my CZs regularly at the range. Love all of them SP01 9mm, 75 B 40 S&W, Kadet 2 .22LR, 97 B .45 ACP, P01 9mm, RAMI 2075 9mm. I have put several thousand rounds. I think they are good value for money.
wow, nice pronunciation ;) Greetings from CZech (Prague)

good review
What holster do you use or recommend for the pcr?
Vedder Light Tuck
lol, you said 'Česká zbrojovka' like a king xD! I wish I could have pistol here in Czech..
Thanks! A Czech speaking friend of mine told me how to say it!
***** Cool. I was really wondering what taught you this well lol! And I forgot to say, this is very good video best what I watched about this pistol so far. Keep up the good job man :)
Can you not own firearms in Czech?
roymayton Yeah we can, but it is limited on range only. I meant it like I would like to have one to defend myself - which I just can't cos I can't wear (carry) gun with myself in public, which makes guns useless. I have 6 long weapons for hunting tho.
But with immigration and crimes in Europe, we are getting new laws such as you can defend yourself with guns when somebody attacks you but still we aren't able to wear (carry) guns with ourselves.
I wish I lived in USA/Switzerland/Israel...
Ptákoviny. Stačí si pořídit zbrojní pas kat. E, v nákupním povolení si zaškrtni "Ochrana života, zdraví nebo majetku" a můžeš vesele skrytě nosit co se ti zlíbí.

Nonsense. Get yourself gun licence category E, tick "Protection of life, health or property" in purchase permit and than you can CC whatever you like.
this is a great review
i elected to get the all steel one instead of the alloy frame because i like heavy guns
@2:15 he starts getting to the point.
Nice review! I am actually thinking of getting this gun. Utah gun laws are way better than California's, we're really limited here.
Nice review. How does the height of the grip (where your bottom three fingers wrap around) compare to the fuller-size CZ-75?
Due or can they make a ❤a CC 75 in a 327 barrel"😊h😊😊😊
So if you click the decocker once and hold it, bring the trigger back, then release the decocker, it will fully decock the pistol without discharging while a round is in the chamber. This was my first handgun and I still carry it after many years of shooting.
Really? Still waiting for my PCR to arrive, so haven't had a chance to try this, but I've been reading and watching everything I can, and this is the first I've heard of this function. Why doesn't everyone use this? Seems much better to have the hammer all the way down to avoid getting things stuck under a half-cocked hammer...
I've had a PCR as my only carry gun for 4 years. It has shot everything I've put through it flawlessly. About 7000 rounds through it now. Doesn't work well with Crimson trace grips though. I may have to contact CT about that. With regular grips works fine. Very strange. 100% reliable with stock or wood grips though! I love this gun! Sights could be a little better. I may pick up the Pro Tek model soon.
+09ThunderOne Ramlite makes a magnetic laser attachment and flashlight. Can get one or both. Both are about $130, one is around $110. Worth investigating. I'm getting my PCR this weekend... very excited.
Is you bought this before you move to California then you could of course bring your higher capacity magazines to the state.
After years of carry a Glock 26, which has been very reliable for me, I’m thinking of getting a CZ 75D PCR. My only concern is if the CZ is going to a lot bigger and heavier than the G26, which I carry AIWB in a MIC trigger-guard holster. I fear the CZ might be too big for this method of carry, as I really don’t like traditional holsters.
Zacki Inu it definitely carries fairly heavy compared to most polymer guns I think. It's around the same size as a G19, but less bulky. It's definitely concealable and carryable, but I think it carries best with some sort of two-loop holster w/ a nice sturdy belt.
Check the websites, the CZ-75 Rami is about 2 ounces more than the G26, and this ones is also very close to the G19, I would choose the CZ any day
I'm a big fan of snap off trigger covers aka micro holsters. Nothing prevents ADs better (because you can easily visually confirm no debris snuck inside).
Have this gun..awesome..trying to find a good IWB holster for it..any ideas?
+HHB368 Its hard to say, I use a simple IWB holster that I found on Amazon bade by a company called OUTBAGS. It fits the gun really well, and the construction is good, but requires a sturdy belt to use effectively. The CZ 75 PCR is on the top limit of what I would carry size-wise. Maybe some other people would have better suggestions.
Alex and Ryan design holsters
Shepherd Holsters out of Texas. Best fitted and thickest Kynar and very comfortable leather. I highly recommend
tommy theis holsters in arkansas. He has an actual pcr blue gun to mold the kydex and a real gun to test it. great custom fit holster for the $. I also want to thank cz for spoiling me into not wanting anything else under $1000.

Keep your fingers away from muzzle.
Smal complaint but poor form.
Thx for review!
great review

Out of those 3 which one you like the best. ??

@@defender119gonow5 thanks!!! The 75b is definitely on my list. Hard to find here in Cali.
@@thews9237 definitely I had to scout for it for about 4 months to get it and unfortunately I’m in komifornia as well
Never knew cz slide release replaced the mag release
fellow ca here, how do you buy a ca75 since its over the 10rd limit?
Brought it with me from Utah where I purchased it legally. oag.ca.gov/firearms/pubfaqs#25
Only have a 10 Rnd. magazine too.
!!!! nice pronunciation of Česká zbrojovka!!! ... :-)
Do they search your house for "high capacity" mags? I was wondering why you couldn't keep them in your house.
The fourth amendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures, but I prefer not to have illegal (read "felony") objects in my house. I know some people keep high capacity magazines in their houses, but I don't think its worth the risk.
I agree with you. It's a stupid law, bit a law non the less.
I noticed you de cocked it with your thumb, not the decocking lever.
i like but prefer all steel
Good review! Your CZ looked dry, oil it.
this gun is just a little bigger and little nicer bersa thunder
The magazine ban never went into law..
I miss the Browning Hi-Power.
This vid is 6 years old so hopefully in that time you have left California and I trust you have! Cause otherwise I don't even know why you're bothering with carry guns.
All I can say is wow! I mean wow! I'm not sure what the fuck I just witnessed!! Lmao
Enginerd - check out GUNBLUE490. He has some great tutorials on reloading, shooting... loads of good info from him.
people that go to the range each weekend are crazy. how can they afford throwing that much ammo out. only plausible reason is full time bullet remanufacturing, including melting the metals and making their own gunpowder/buying a 200 pounds at a time
You're not "throwing ammo out" when you go to the range, you are practicing and becoming a better shooter.
That's what .22 pistols are for. You can also buy a Kadet .22 conversion for this pistol for cheap range practice.
I would have just kept your original magazines.
Plastic guide rod 😒 eh. Cool gun tho ..
or how he calls the mag release a slide release must be nervous in front of the camera
shouldn't have moved to Commiefornia
Not admiring safety protocol.
Cali......it don't matter NOT LONG we will all be screwed with 10 rounders you can bet your'e ass on that.
Cz works best with 9mm 124gr
Lol CZ chew up everything! Knowledge is Power
great gun, love mine. I put some LOK G10 grips(grenade pattern) slims the grip down and feels much better than
the std grips. They are same as VZ grips at a better price. lokgrips.com/
Stephen did you find the gun became more snappy with the LOK grips? I saw other reviews where they claim that the recoil is felt more with aftermarket grips. Thanks!
checkout Clinger Holsters for some awesome holsters
Obviously new with guns
You kept stating to treat all guns as loaded, but you repeatedly point a loaded gun at your hand. Practice gun safety as a habit.
Why would you move to California?
RaspySquares if you weren’t born here I recommend not to move here ...
I just moved OUT of that commie state. No regrets. Weirdos move IN.
What's the point of the partially decocked hammer? Is this unique to CZ?
That’s a mag release not slide release
So instead of immediately clearing the firearm first thing, he started handling it with a round chambered and a full magazine. This guy is a future Darwin award winner.
Oh No! A scary loaded weapon on your screen! Did he put his finger on the 12lb trigger? Did he point it at himself, or anyone else? Why are you afraid of loaded weapons?
@@frankbutta9344 - It's amazing how cavalier your are about safety. One can only hope when you have an accident discharge you don't take anyone with you when you go.
@@Booboobear-eo4es How many people are going with a negligent discharge? It’s not a full auto pistol. I regularly handle a loaded pistol at least twice each day. Once at night to remove it from its holster and attach a rail light, and again in the morning to detach the light, and put it back in it waistband holster. When the rail light is mounted, the pistol resides in a large Kydex holster to prevent accidents while fumbling.
@@frankbutta9344dude is afraid to touch a loaded gun lmao
What a Drip. Totally nerd!!
Yeah, you left your 14 round magazines in utah with your dad when you moved to California.....
Ummmm ok
