Anything I should be aware of? Pros/cons?

Thanks!

I haven't shot one of those, but I have shot a lot out of a 75 and own a 75 Compact and a Shadow. I love both.

The SA slide profile is different than all the other 75B 9mms and is actually the same as the CZ-75B .40S&W. This can make finding holsters difficult. The lower slide profile can make immediate action drills a chore but I use the rear sight as my leverage point in IADs now.
The trigger out of the box is nothing to write home about and the sights are the basic CZ 3 dot sights but otherwise, I'm extremely happy with my SA. I think that the SAs are undersprung from the factory and you may want to replace the recoil spring immediately out of the box.
I ran the 2K challenge out of the box and posted the results here:

Never fired a SA CZ75B, on a regular CZ75B the trigger is quite decent, although not as good as the Pre B CZ75 in my opinion. I would just get the CZ75B or CZ85.

I have one and love it. The trigger is slightly worse than my $1300 CZ SP01 Shadow Custom Target(Converted to SA). They are rare, so grab one if you can.

Had one, but stupidly sold it. It was solid all around.

If one turned up I'd go for it, but as we all know, CZs of any stripe are as rare as hen's teeth these days.

I may send my 75B in for conversion instead.

What would you gain in converting your 75B to SA?

A better trigger for one.

The 75B's DA/SA is not bad in single action, but a full on single action will improve it.

I'd have the CZ Custom Shop do their competition hammer at the same time, and I'd give a lot of thought to removing the firing pin block as that really improves trigger feel.

I have a 75-SA & simply LOVE the thing. I bought mine used & it already had a trigger job done to it, so it admittedly has a better then OEM trigger.

Supurb accuracy, a 1911-like trigger, light recoiling 9mm & balances like a supermodel in one's hand. What's not to love?

After owning the SA, I'm spoiled & don't want any other 75. I also added a .22 Kadet conversion kit. With the trigger being perfect, it's like owning a $1200 Walther .22 or some such.

I recently picked one up used, and love it! So much that I sold my M&P. Although I now know what they mean when they say that a CZ is a contagious disease. I am already thinking about picking up another one. And a Cadet slide.

I converted my SP01 to SAO with the competition hammer and removal of the firing pin block.

Never handled a 75B SA but I'd assume the trigger feels like a 75B in single action so it = ok+. With the mods done above it's super crisp and reset is uber short. In short get it and if you want do the upgrades.
