World-Famous Handguns: CZ 75
To noobs, it might look like a clone of the Browning Hi Power.
First introduced in 1975, the CZ 75 is a pistol made in the Czech Republic by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod (CZUB) that has both semi-automatic and selective fire variants. It is one of the original "wonder nines". A wonder nine is a term for any semi-automatic pistol that is chambered in 9mm Parabellum rounds and has a staggered column magazine, as well as a double-action trigger for at least the first shot.
The CZ 75 featured a staggered-column magazine, all-steel construction, and a hammer forged barrel. It has good reputation among pistol shooters for quality and versatility at a reasonable price.
The CZ-75 is now in service with Czech police. It is also used by the Turkish police, and by several U.S. police departments. It is widely distributed throughout the world. It is the most common handgun in the Czech Republic. For most gun experts, the CZ-75 is one of the best combat pistols in its class.

Solid article about a solid handgun. CZ has made great stuff for a long time.
Thanks, I never knew about the CZ until I did some research.
OK you got me with this one! I love these guns; I went with the Israeli version; Jericho 941, love it
Yes, the Israelis make fine weapons.
Czechoslovakian handgun s one of the best for its quality. Nothing more tho.
Could you make an article about classic gun from 1800 era ? :)
You mean the one used by cowboys?
cowboys okay, but in 1800 era is revolutionary about hand gun. That is very interesting from single shoot become repeatedly shoot. :)
Okay, I'll try if I have the time to research.
I've got one for you @darthnava that I think you'll find a fascinating weapon from that period.
Take a peek at the LeMat Revolver. Used in the Civil War by the Confederates. This is in the days BEFORE the cowboy 6 shooter, when they didn't have single piece ammunition but had to load cap and ball.
Compared to the standard cap and ball pistol that shot 6 rounds the LeMat truly was REVOLUTIONARY....and I'll leave it at that so as not to spoil the fun.
Hey, that is a great suggestion for a post! Thanks a lot! I'll make sure to credit you for it.
thank you :)
