Title: My CZ Collection has a new member!

I found this at a local gun shop; VZ/CZ38.  The top of the gun looks refinished; the serial number on the slide is unreadable; and the finish is worn off in spots.  It has to be the biggest .380 pistol I've seen.

Interesting. It must not have won any design awards for esthetics. It's substantially larger than the CZ 83. I found this:

Looks like the designer took the charge to simplify to heart. The takedown is interesting with the hinged slide/barrel. Hard to lose parts during cleaning in the field.
