The CZ 100 is a semi-automatic handgun, introduced in 1995 by Česká Zbrojovka .

Features

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.

It was the first of CZs weapons to use synthetic materials.
