NEW GENERATION PISTOLS CZ P-07 & CZ P-09

摘要

The research and development program of the Ceska zbrojovka Uhersky Brod (CZ) company has added several alternate handguns to the classic CZ 75 series since the mid 1990's. But none of them was launched into production. That situation changed after the arrival of a substantially simplified Omega trigger mechanism. The breakthrough in Omega's fate came in the winter of 2006, not long after the appointment of the new general manager of CZ, Ing. Lubomir Kovarik, whose priorities focused on the earliest possible addition of a technologically more efficient and a "tender" SA/DA pistol (Tender means offering to larger bids and contracts). The Omega mechanism offers such potential. The development process was given a go and CZ's designer Ing. Ivan Filko poignantly summarised the efforts as follows: "We wrapped the trigger mechanism with a pistol."
