This video delves into the historical origins and early development of the iconic CZ-75 pistol. It focuses on the distinct "Short Rail" or "Slab Side" models, which represent the first 16,000 units produced before design modifications were implemented in 1980, including the addition of a longer frame and a half-cock notch. 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. The content is presented by Forgotten Weapons and thanks Royal Tiger Imports for providing early models.
