This video delves into the history and technical aspects of the CZ-531, a Czechoslovakian pistol developed in 1953 as a potential successor to the vz.52. Chambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev and designed with inspiration from the TT33, the CZ-531 prototype faced significant durability issues during testing, including recoil spring wear and frame cracking. While more easily manufactured than its contemporary, the ZKP-524, it was less accurate. Ultimately, budget constraints and a lower perceived priority for handgun replacement led to neither prototype being adopted. The video features access to a rare prototype provided by the Czech Military History Institute.
