The CZ 100 is a semi-automatic handgun, introduced in 1995 by Česká Zbrojovka . It was the first of CZs weapons to use synthetic materials. It has a sister model, CZ 110, which has the same magazine capacity.
The "CZ100" was reintroduced in 2000 and called the "CZ100B". It is identical in most ways, except for adjustable sights, trigger and firing mechanism work, and cleaner machining of the main slide and exterior steel.
Features
[edit]The CZ 100 has a number of important handgun features. It is hammerless DAO (double action only), meaning that the firing system is under no tension unless the trigger is pulled. There is an automatic firing pin safety device. It is constructed for one-handed cocking, with a protrusion on the slide behind the ejection port intended for pushing against the edge of a fixed surface. The gun uses the usual Browning cam for action. The .40 S&W version has a simple compensator. The tactical rail allows for the attachment of a laser or light, but only proprietary models.
