Description
The ČZ handgun models 50 and 70 are available to Western collectors today but were both developed and produced behind the Iron Curtain. These pistols
...
were seldom seen and little understood for decades. Now they are widely available for purchase, and this book fills the information gap.
In the years since the release of his Cold War Pistols of Czechoslovakia, author James D. Brown has continued his research and maintained contact with experts and collectors from all over the world. The result is the most complete database of information on Czech handguns from the Cold War period.
The vz. 50 and vz. 70 were designed and produced for the Czech police by Česká zbrojovka, better known as "ČZ," one of the oldest and most important firearms manufacturers in the world.
This new reference work describes the production history, markings, operation, performance, maintenance, and accessories of the "ČZ 50" and "ČZ 70." Along with detailed text and tables, readers will enjoy 290 photographs.
Along with Cold War Pistols of Czechoslovakia, James D Brown coauthored Japanese Military Cartridge Handguns, a work described by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons as "an example of a firearms reference done right."
