CZ pistol function testing station

[Psyop96]

The article (in Czech) is about the very strong performance of the Prague stock exchange in 2021, up by 39% and the best since 2005. CZG shares led the way with a 73% increase due to the Colt acquisition.

Financial news aside, note the accompanying photo with the article. Interesting to see the calibers at the station to include an empty bin marked 9x21 (for countries that ban civilian ownership of military calibers, eg., Italy). Can’t quite make out the marking on the right bottom bin (.40 S&W?).

👍

Clicking the picture enlarges it. Looks like "40 SW"

Interesting... looks like a test-firing station. I guess he shoots through the port in the wall?

when all they are doing is a function test, they don't need a range and targets, just a hole in the wall and a good backstop.

there were also bins labeled for .380 and .45

.45 auto, .380, 9x21, .40 SW and .22 lr. Looks like they have everything covered. The brass catcher and exhaust hood are good to have too. It's nice that they're showing a Shadow 2 and not some lowly 75B, lol.

Cool find. Love seeing the behind the scenes stuff at the CZ factory. Would love to take a tour one day if I ever go over there.

Not quite everything.  No .25 Auto for the CZ 92.

FWIW, CZ uses, not surprisingly, Sellier & Bellot ammo for their test firing.  For 9 Luger they use 115 gr FMJ.  For accuracy, they use a distance of 25 m, except for subcompacts where they use 15 m.

Interestingly, they use other brands of ammo such as RWS for their .22LR rifles. The .380 ammo is likely for P-07 pistols bound for markets that don’t permit military type calibers for civilian ownership. Presumably, only ammo for the pistols to be function tested at that time will be drawn for accountability reasons. This where the test targets, if included, are generated. Note the bar coding scanner…possibly for the bar coded stickers now placed on new production.

Looks like there's another set of bins to the left.  They undoubtedly contain 9 Luger and .25 Auto.

My 83 is marked "9 Browning Court," so seeing a bin marked . 380 looked odd.  But, while .380 versions of the 75 P-07 Duty where marked "9 Browning," the gen 2 P-07 is marked "380."

Why is the .380 version of the P-07 not imported to the US?  Lack of demand or inability to the pass ATF barrier?

I recall a member some time back who was in Brazil I think and he had a .380 P-07 since they are not allowed any caliber used by the Mil/le. I think it would pass the ATF regs but who would really be interested in a .380 the size of a P-07? Talk about an oversized gun for the caliber and the cost of .380 ammo has was high even before the plandemic. I think CZ just doesn't see a market for it here especially since there's such a glut of guns already chambered in that caliber for sale in the US that are of more logical size for the round.
