CZ Firearms (CZ-USA)

CZ Firearms (Česká zbrojovka a.s.) was established in 1936 in Uherský Brod, Czechoslovakia, as part of a strategic government initiative to create one of the world's most modern and efficient arms factories. What started as a producer of aircraft machine guns evolved into one of Europe's most respected firearms manufacturers.

The CZ 75: Introduced in 1975, this revolutionary pistol co-defined the "Wonder Nine" category and remains one of the most copied and imitated designs in firearms history. Over 1 million CZ 75 pistols have been produced.
