NATHANIEL, the CZ 75B is a modern production pistol with a firing pin block and manual safety. The CZ 75BD is a modern production gun with a firing pin block and decocker. Cheers and stay safe!

The CZ 75 is the older version of the gun and all current production models would be the "B" series a.k.a CZ 75B. The difference between CZ 75B and CZ 75BD is that the B has a manual safety while the BD model has a decocker instead. The main difference this creates is how one would carry and operate it safely. A B model with manual safety would be carried with the hammer cocked and safety on, and upon drawing it one would have to switch the safety off but the trigger pull would be short and light. A BD model with a decocker would be decocked after racking the slide and carried with the hammer down. Then upon drawing the gun there is no safety lever to mess with, however the trigger pull is long and heavy for the first round, then light for all remaining rounds.
