The Zastava CZ 99 is a semi-automatic pistol produced by Zastava Arms.[1] It was developed in 1989 to replace the M57 in the Yugoslavian Military and Police. The frame design was influenced by the SIG P226[2][3] albeit with some ambidextrous controls like the Walther P88 Compact. The CZ 99 is primarily chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum with a 15-round magazine.
Variants
- CZ 999 Scorpion (ЦЗ999): While initially intended for the 9×19mm, there is a variant of the CZ 99 chambered in .40 S&W, primarily for foreign importers, with many of these handguns imported by the US in 1990. Over time though, newer versions of this firearm have been developed: The Zastava CZ 999, with DAO and DA/SA selector, as well as the CZ 999 Scorpion without this selector. Also features a loaded chamber indicator. Comes in compact model as well.[4]
- Zastava EZ is the fourth generation CZ 99, with an underbarrel picatinny rail, a loaded chamber indicator as well as an indicator for the last three rounds remaining in the magazine. Service- and personal defence gun, single/double action, ambidextruous. Exists in two calibers.[5] There are compact versions of both calibers.[6]
- KSN Golan is an Israeli clone of the CZ 99, with rights being purchased after Zastava halted production. Though the Golan lacks the CZ 99’s loaded chamber indicator and has a shorter slide and barrel,different grips, and other minor cosmetic variations from the CZ 99, it is virtually identical in internal design, and some parts are interchangeable between the two.[7]
