The PCR stands for ‘Police Czech Republic ‘ the group for whom the model was originally designed. Nearly identical in size to the CZ 75 Compact it weighs in at a full 1/4 pound less due to its forged aluminum frame making it more comfortable for everyday carry. Equipped with a decocking lever the PCR is designed to be decocked before holstering. After decocking the trigger safety is much like that of a double action revolver. There is a safety stop on the hammer as well as a firing pin block safety. It has snag-free fixed 3-dot sights. Other features of the PCR include rubber grip panels serrated front and back straps and a loaded chamber indicator.
