EURO BUT NOT TRASH: THE COLD WAR VINTAGE CZ 75 ‘PRE-B’ 9MM

While guys who dig CZs these days often like to think of themselves as mysterious and edgy, back in the chilliest days of the Cold War, picking up a CZ 75 was tougher than you’d think.

With its color-case-hardened finish and wood furniture, it just screams “classic rifle.” And who doesn’t like to work a lever gun? But does it perform as good as it looks?
