I've recently purchased a CZ75B SA 9mm. I wanted a regular DA/SA 75b, but CZ pistols are hard to come by up here in Nodak land and this one was on clearance at the local sporting goods store. It was too good a deal to pass up. Anyhow, I've been lurking on another CZ forum and I've gathered that some people convert their DA/SA pistols to single action by swapping out the trigger from a SA for a better trigger pull. I posed the question, is the reverse possible? Can I add a double action trigger pull to my 75bSA by swapping the straight plastic trigger for a standard metal curved one? If not what else would be involved? I haven't received a response from the fellows on the CZ forum so I seek enlightenment from the resident THR CZ gurus.

First, I don't know the answer to your question, but I would ask "why" you would want to do this? The SA only model is blessed with incredible out-of-the-box accuracy, and a very nice trigger feel. The DA/SA trigger in SA mode is not nearly as nice.
I have the SA model and would not consider changing; I also have the CZ 97, which has the standard DA/SA mode and it is nice, but not as sweet as the 9mm SA only.
Where in ND are you located? I had problems finding a model 97 and ended up getting it in Minneapolis (I am a MN resident..near Detroit Lakes).
If you are in the Fargo area and want to try the CZ 97, let me know...there is a nice outdoor range in Erhard that is just waiting to be enjoyed!

Changing the trigger alone isn't enough. Several other parts are needed.
Call Mike Eagleshield at CZ-USA for the cost of the parts (and which specific parts are needed). Their 800 is on the CZ-USA website, and is probably in your manual.
You'll find it far less expensive to just swap with someone with a 75b who wants a SA...

Well......finding a std 75B is as easy as going to guns america or having you FFL order one from CZUSA.........
The only functional differences in the SA and the 75b is the trigger...Im not "Ill stake my life on it" sure but I remember Mike saying that in my past dealings with him.
The STD gun can be carried cocked and locked......but I prefer the SA over the STD myself.
Good luck and let us know what you find........Shoot well.
PS if you get an SA get a steel trigger gun..........

According to Jim Miossi, a gunsmith who participates on the CZ Forum, you'd need:
SA/DA hammer (The SA uses a different hammer)
SA/DA Trigger
Disconnector
Disconnector Pin
Jim has those parts in stock. He also has an after-market sear that is much harder than the stock sear -- he feels the trigger job will last much, much longer. That's about $30 (I think--but check with Jim).
The hammer and disconnector run about $60, the trigger is another $30 or so.
You'd be better off trading with someone, as once you get the stuff pulled together, they still have to be fitted (i.e. a trigger/action job.)

Is there significant difference in trigger feel/operation between the SA and the B in SA mode?

I've had several DA/SA versions of the 75; some pre-Bs and some Bs. With the right gunsmith doing the work, the SA trigger on the DA/SA can be just as crisp as on the SA model. The difference, as noted, is takeup.
There is an optional SA trigger (it works only in the SA model) that has adjustments for both overtravel and takeup. That, with a good trigger/action job, will give you a very crisp, short SA trigger.
An overtravel adjustment can be added to the standard trigger, or you can order the 85 Combat trigger.
To get the right crispness, you need to change the hammer hooks and sear angles, and that generally takes a set of jigs. A gunsmith who participates on the CZ Forum, Jim Miossi, does a killer trigger job, using those jigs. He'll also tell you where to buy your own, etc. Jim Miossi. Check out the CZ Forum sometime, or do a google searc on Jim Miossi.
(I have both SA and DA versions. My SA, which has been well-gunsmithed, has a SA trigger comparable to the better 1911s; my 85 Combat has a great DA trigger and a SA almost as good as the 75BSA. Good triggers are possible, but the best ones don't come out of the box that way.)
