The CZ 100 is a semi-automatic handgun introduced in 1995 by renowned Czech weapons developer Česká Zbrojovka. It was the first of CZ's weapons to use synthetic materials. It has a sister model, the CZ 110, that has a smaller magazine capacity (7 rounds of 9mm or 6 rounds of .40S&W).<ref name = "CZ100 wiki">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CZ_100 Wikipedia article on the CZ 100]</ref> | The CZ 100 is a semi-automatic handgun introduced in 1995 by renowned Czech weapons developer Česká Zbrojovka.

− | The CZ 100 has a number of important features. It is a hammerless DAO (double action only) handgun, meaning that the firing system is under no tension unless the trigger is pulled. This helps reduce wear on parts and increase the life of the pistol. There is an automatic firing pin safety device that helps prevent accidental discharges of the weapon. The CZ 100 was designed 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 standard Browning cam action used in a wide number of handguns. The .40 S&W version has a simple compensator. The tactical rail under the barrel allows for the attachment of a laser or light, but only proprietary models are accepted. | + | The CZ 100 has a number of important features.

The "CZ 100" was originally released in 1995, and was reintroduced in 2000 as the "CZ 100B". The CZ100B is identical in most ways to the earlier model, except for the addition of adjustable sights, some improvements to the trigger mechanism, and cleaner machining of the main slide. | The "CZ 100" was originally released in 1995, and was reintroduced in 2000 as the "CZ 100B".
