This video delves into the history and mechanics of the Praga Model 1919, Czechoslovakia's first pistol. Introduced by Václav Holek at the Zbrojovka Praga factory, it was adopted by Czech military and police forces and also sold commercially. The pistol is a blowback-operated .32 ACP firearm with a shrouded hammer and interesting disassembly features. The video notes the factory's mismanagement leading to bankruptcy and Holek's later work on the ZB-26 machine gun. It also mentions the subsequent adoption of the vz.22 pistol.
