This is the blow C75, a throwback to the older days before the advent -and takeover- of polymer frame compact guns. For those who really do appreciate their all-metal guns w/ synthetic gripstocks, this replica of the CZ 75 is here for you guys.

This gun at first, when fully grasping it, you'll feel this gun has really no shortage of bulk - BLOW made the right decision to add finger scallops on the handle, in order to get a better purchase on the gun, but w/out modernizing this timeless classic too much.

Starting from the top, we have the typical CZ low profile slide, which weighs less compared to something like a BERETTA slide and likewise, would therefore offer more manageable recoil. That, coupled w/ a heavier frame, certainly would offer you a more palatable shooting experience. On the front, you have a low height series of slanted serration that nip into your fingers as you start racking the slide. Specifically, there are 16 of them, both front and rear, so users have the freedom of racking the slide from the front or rear.

The ejection port is 2/3 cutout from the slide, so the spent casings have more clearance to eject reliably, as in the case w/ firearms, different cartridge pressures, would cause brass casings to eject at different distances and likewise, angles too. 

The sights on this pistol are higher profile, bulky looking w/ the front sight having some spacing on its sides as it seats into the rear sight valley.
The space between these sights have a flat / plato that is dovetail-milled, featuring six thin serrations running centre in its length.

The hammer is certainly one of the less sophisticated ones out there we've seen, although equally iconic in the shooting world - a raised, angular rear w/ a serrated top-to-rear for (de)cocking the hammer / manipulating the hammer. Its top is pinhole-slotted, reducing the acceleration time for the hammer to hit the firing pin and likewise, serves to mitigate metal-on-metal impact reverberation.

The trigger's reset position is forwardly like you'd have on a CZ, which can be a slight mission to get your finger into, compared to some other blank gun makes and models. However, once the gun is cocked, the trigger will have a middle "catch point" area, meaning that, once the trigger is reared up to that middle point, it will stay there. In terms of firing the gun - there is a little bit of take up applicable, about 6mm by the look of it, before you hit the wall. This wall is clear and crisp, breaking once overcome w/ little to no "mush" as alot of shooters call it. The trigger does reasonably break clean.

The trigger reset is a distance of about 10 mm, acknowledged by a faint click sound, before the sear can be engaged again and the gun discharged.

The gun barrel is about 4.8" in length, sporting the BLOW styled barrel blocker in front w/ the bent stretch of wire peering out the frontal end. This is twofold - to block the barrel and of course, to enable to the blowback function of this gun. Because these cartridges produces a low pressure compared to firearm cartridges, it will need this blocker for the gun to shoot semi-automatic. Note that attempting to remove this, will disable the gun's ability to shoot semi-automatic and you'll need to manually put the cartridge into battery each time.

The magazine release likewise, runs paralell w/ the frame of the pistol, featuring four vertical serrations that acts as fingerstop when depressing this button. We do like this design as it really fits in cleanly w/ the bevel shape running around the trigger on the frame.

In terms of field stripping the gun - we recommend racking the slide back just enough for the slide to not engage the slide catch, then grabbing the blowback rod, pull it forward and dump the slide catch lever out towards the left. You should be able to strip the slide off then, followed by the internals.

Overall, we really like and appreciate this gun. This gun does not like to be dry-cycled, so please be duly aware of this when purchasing this gun. The gun works fine otherwise. This is just how this blank gun was designed. HOWEVER, you can defeat the above by pinching the extractor and racking the slide as such - this should allow you to extract the cartridges.
