I find the cz 75b is pain in the a** to rack, too little space to grab on, and slippery.

I grab it right in front of the rear sight, with my left hand thumb along the slide serrations.

I have big hands, and this is the easiest way I found to rack it

I bought a Sig P226 instead.  Wanted a metal DA/SA, liked everything about the CZ, but couldn't reliably and securely grab slide.  I just think if I was rushed, sweaty, wearing gloves, etc it would be an issue.

I've found using the overhand method with my fingers on the right side serrations, thumb on the left side serrations and the rear sight acting as a leverage point and backstop for the left index finger is the best method for me.

Due to the reduced profile of the slide, it's critical to use the serrations and get as much of your racking hand on them as possible.

I bring band aids when taking a class with the CZ. Cut up fingers and web is no fun but part of the price of admission.

i found it helps to put my thumb on the rear edge of ejection port, as long as the slide only goes backward, it shouldn't hurt my thumb

Place the first joint of your index finger (the one you crack when you crack your knuckles) up against the rear sight.  Press sharply down and back while holding the grip firmly with the other hand.  It takes a few tries to get the hang of it without banging the shit out of that knuckle, but I've found that to be about the simplest method.  (Also translates well to other platforms with a rear sight that has a flat front.)

I use this method as well. I also read someplace that if you had to ( i.e. injured yourself to where you werent able to use yer other hand ) you can place the rear sight on yer pants pocket or other object to rack it back as well.
