HS95: Croatia Builds a Modern Pistol
This video analyzes the HS-95 pistol, developed by HS Produkt in Croatia as a successor to their PHP pistols. Drawing on production experience, the HS-95 features a traditional Browning tilting-barrel action with an external DA/SA hammer. It is noted to be heavily influenced by the Zastava CZ-99 in its mechanism but styled to resemble the SIG P229. Produced from 1995 to 1998, with an estimated 15,000-20,000 units made, the HS-95 was primarily adopted by the Croatian Army. Despite being described as heavy, it was considered simple and reliable. The HS-95 was ultimately replaced by the HS2000.
