[Control]

Does anyone know if the CZ85 ambidextrous slide stop will work in the standard CZ75 frame?

Thanks.

No.

The opening in the slide on the 85 model (and on the new 75B in Stainless) is larger -- the ambi parts wouldn't fit.

Thanks Walt.

You mention that the slide stop opening is bigger on the new CZ frames (the ones with the reversable mag catch). Will the newer style CZ 75 frames accept an ambidexterous slide stop?

When I responded earlier I did so without fully engaging my brain. Sorry. The 75B Stainless comes with ambidextrous safeties -- not ambi slide stops.

My error.

Offhand, I think only the 85B and 85 Combat have ambidextrous slide stops. Those slide stops cannot be used in the 75B or other non-ambi frames.

Some of the newer models have reversible mag releases. I think that's true of the Stainless model, but I'm not sure. The standard 75B continues to be non-reversible, ditto the 85B and 85 Combat.

(I think it would cost more to have the gun modified to use the ambi stops than it would cost to sell the 75b and get an 85B or 85 Combat. The parts aren't cheap and it would require a good gunsmith who know CZs to make it work. I'd think we're talking at least $150 maybe more.)
