VZOR70
« on: December 01, 2009, 07:07:17 PM »
I did read an older post in here from months ago, and while it was interesting I would like more information on this pistol. If anybody can help me?

I've had mine a while and just used it as a spare back up carried in my truck, I was very surprised when I first shot it, very surprised!!! bleep thing really shoots!

When were they made? where can I find some spare mags? good ? bad? whatever?....

I'm thinking about having the action worked over to smooth it up and the trigger cleaned up and start carrying it as a social gun for those time a full sized 1911 is just a bit too much  ;D

I am also thinking about having it hard chromed or plated and of course some nice grips....one can not go out in public with an under dressed CCW, it just isn't done don't you know?  :D :D :D ;D ::)

As for the lowly 32 being a wimp I would remind all that " Bond....James Bond" kept the commies in check with a lowly .25 Browning as I seem to recall. so...if you have one and like it please let me know!!

My only other CZ is a 40B which being a 1911 fan all my life is understandable.

Thank you for any help!

Actually I always wanted a pimp gun and this seems to be a good one to play with.....

My net search on the Czechoslovakian VZOR 70/CZ 70 pistol has got me thinking about one! The .32 is a good little round, but not my favorite for a defensive round. But as you mentioned it shoots well, which is not surprising, could be a good backup piece.
They are not C&R eligible at this time to my knowledge.

The VZOR 70, is also known as the CZ 70, which was the upgrade from the CZ 50 pistol (Designed post WWII as a M&P pistol). The CZ 50 was produced from 1950-1970. I believe the CZ 82/83 replaced them.

 The CZ 70 is 6 3/4" long, has a barrel length of 3 3/4", weighs 24 ounces, and has a magazine capacity of 8 rounds. In 1970, the pistol was modified internally to improve reliability and externally to update it's appearance. This new variation was designated for commercial sale as the CZ 70 (much like the CZ 82 and CZ83).

The CZ 70 is known as a good concealed carry pistol, being accurate, and a 8 + 1 capacity.

Prices were going for about $150. - $200 recently.

Check the forum site for DesignerGrips and also Marschal Grips to see if they make them for your pistol. Lately Marschal grips have had a problem with cracking but he is in process of figuring out why. They are beautiful wood grips, and hope he finds the problem, would love to have a set for my 82.
