This video delves into the Romanian Cugir Models 95 and 98 pistols, which were developed as domestic copies of the IMI Jericho. Following the end of communism, Romania sought a modern handgun, leading to the reverse engineering and eventual production of these Jericho-inspired firearms. The Model 95, initially produced for the Army, was found to be heavy. Subsequent modifications for the police, resulting in the Model 98, focused on weight reduction. The video details the design changes, manufacturing evolution, and a recent 2021 production batch for the Romanian Army and collectors, highlighting the shift in material standards. It also acknowledges the ongoing presence of older service pistols.
