Zastava Arms CZ999 9mm

The Zastava Arms CZ999 is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Zastava Arms, a Serbian firearms company. The CZ999 is also known as the EZ9 or EZ40, depending on the chambering.

Here are some key features and specifications of the CZ999:

1. Caliber Options: The CZ999 is available in two main chamberings: 9mm Parabellum (EZ9) and .40 S&W (EZ40). These chamberings make it suitable for self-defense or recreational shooting.
2. Design and Operation: The CZ999 is a polymer-framed, recoil-operated pistol. It features a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger system, where the first shot can be fired in double-action mode with a longer and heavier trigger pull, while subsequent shots are fired in single-action mode with a shorter and lighter trigger pull. It also has a decocking lever to safely lower the hammer from the single-action position.
3. Capacity: The CZ999 typically comes with a 15-round magazine for the 9mm version and a 12-round magazine for the .40 S&W version. However, magazine capacities may vary depending on the specific model and regional regulations.
4. Ergonomics and Controls: The CZ999 features an ergonomic grip design with textured surfaces for enhanced handling and control. It has ambidextrous slide-stop controls and a reversible magazine release, making it suitable for left-handed shooters as well.
5. Sight System: The CZ999 is equipped with fixed sights, typically consisting of a rear notch and a front blade sight. Some variants may offer options for adjustable sights or tritium night sights for low-light shooting conditions.
6. Accessories and Compatibility: The CZ999 has a Picatinny rail on the frame, allowing users to attach accessories like lights, lasers, or other compatible rail-mounted devices.

It’s important to note that while the CZ999 shares some design similarities with the CZ-75 pistol, they are not the same firearm. The CZ999 is produced by Zastava Arms, a separate company from Česká zbrojovka (CZ), the manufacturer of the CZ-75.

As always, when considering a firearm purchase, it’s crucial to research and understand local laws, regulations, and requirements related to firearm ownership and use.
