Česká zbrojovka 2024. Česká zbrojovka a.s. (CZ, lit. ' Czech armory '), is a Czech armament manufacturer that is based in Uherský Brod.The company is famous for producing service, hunting and sporting firearms.
The Vz. 82 was a military product not intended for commercial sales. It is significant that when Česká zbrojovka started manufacturing these pistols for commercial export it was as the CZ 83, not "CZ 82." Referring to the Vz. 82 as a "CZ 82" is like calling an M9 a "Beretta model 9" rather than using Beretta's own nomenclature of "Model 92FS."
The CZ 85 is an updated version of the CZ 75, with slight changes made to internal parts to increase reliability.It has an ambidextrous safety switch and slide stop, making the pistol suitable for both right- and left-handed shooters.
The CZ 52 pistol is a roller-locked short recoil–operated, detachable box magazine–fed, single-action, semi-automatic pistol chambered for the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge (the gun was originally designed for 9×19mm Parabellum caliber but due to political pressures had to be redesigned for the then-standard Soviet pistol cartridge).
