The description also highlights key production changes up to 1993, such as variations in finishes, trigger guards, grip panels, serial numbering, and the introduction of the CZ-75B with a firing pin block. The video acknowledges the influence of other pistols like the SIG P210 and Browning High Power on its design, noting it was initially intended for export rather than military adoption.

This video explores Project PRAK, an experimental conversion of the CZ50 pistol to fire 9x18mm Makarov ammunition. The project involved fitting a CZ50 with a modified barrel from a vz65 Skorpion, fabricating a new magazine, and making minor adjustments to the slide. Firing trials revealed durability issues, including extractor problems, hammer peening the slide, a cracked magazine body, and a broken firing pin. The testing concluded that a converted CZ50 would have a limited lifespan of around 2000 rounds, and the project was never put into production. The video highlights the historical context and the reasons why this conversion wasn't pursued.
