Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the ASG CZ 75D Compact is fairly light in single action as all the cocking has already been done. When shooting in double action mode, the pull is still fairly light but has a point right before the break where it stiffens up for a moment. This is not too noticeable.

Accuracy: My 5 shot Chronograph test resulted in an average velocity of just over 400 FPS, while my 10 shot accuracy test from 30 feet out using a semi-rested position came in at around 2 inches for most of the shots with a few hitting a bit higher. I did have one misfeed which resulted in a double shot for the next trigger pull, those shots obviously did not hit the target as well as expected. For some reason I got a double shot when I tested the 4.5mm Steel BB version so perhaps this is something inherent to this air pistol? In terms of shot placement the ASG CZ 75D Compact CO2 Airsoft Pistol shot fairly well centered left to right but on the high side near the top of the target. You should be able to adjust the internal hop-up to lower the shots a bit if need be.

Build Quality: ASG usually distributes high quality guns, and this is no exception. The fit and finish is as nice on the ASG CZ 75D Compact as any other ASG product. The slide wiggle is virtually nonexistent, one of the best I have seen thus far. I would have liked to have seen a metal slide on this one but even so the gun has decent weight and balance to it coming in at 4 pounds in a compact pistol. There is metal where it really matters like in the trigger, hammer, safety, magazine release and of course many internal parts.

Realism: The ASG CZ 75D Compact is very accurate replica of the real steel version, with fully licensed CZ trademarks and even the 9x19 caliber markings in the slide ejection port area. The magazine is full metal and full size and does not have any telltale CO2 tab sticking out or elongated area hiding it. Again the metal slide would have finished it off.

Pros:

• Overall very good replica, fully licensed
• Well made, fit and finish is very good (slide has zero wobble)
• Good combination of power, accuracy and shots per CO2
• Adjustable rear white dot sight
• Full size drop out metal magazine adds weight to it
• Single and double action hammer trigger
• Recessed barrel
• Accessory rail for add ons

Cons:

• No blowback action but does have a working slide
• Plastic slide, would have better balance and feel with a metal slide
• Slide catch does not work, moulded in
• CO2 is a bit hard to install - be careful!

Comments: I am a bit of a blowback guy so I generally don't look as much forward to reviews of guns without blowback. It was however nice that the ASG CZ 75D Compact does have a moveable slide and it has the least amount of wobble out of any gun I have reviewed to date. I was impressed with the overall performance of this air pistol, nothing stands out but overall it is a nice complete package getting lots of shots per CO2, good FPS, good accuracy, a single and double action trigger, adjustable sights, a rail for add ons, a full size drop out metal magazine and it's a really good overall replica with full CZ licensing throughout. Not bad for a fairly low cost 6mm CO2 airsoft pistol!
