No doubt related. The CZ was improved, because it had DA, avoiding both the stupid condition 3 and the unsafe condition 1.
Read your CZ 75 Instruction Manual ? I believe it says, in so many words, to carry and store in Condition 3.
Why do you label Condition 1 carry as unsafe?
CZ's are as beautiful as the BHP, and more useful too.
The BHP is the longest produced 9 Luger pistol on the market. It has survived nearly 80 years and been copied often because it's a great design. Whatever advantages the CZ 75 has over it can likely be attributed largely to advances in technology in the four decades between 1935 and 1975. I'd be surprised if the CZ 75 wasn't better in many ways. What does impress me is that the CZ 75, with better capacity and better out-of-the-box trigger than the BHP is available at half the price of the BHP.
I should not have said troops, should have said cops. Guaranteed they were not authorized to carry cocked and locked. You can tell that by examining their half a cow size holsters.
The CZ 75 was originally an export pistol. I seem to recall that one wasn't sold domestically until 1985. Thus, commie cops didn't carry it either.
How does a large holster preclude Condition 1 carry? The largest holster I have is the ambidextrous milsurp holster that came with my CZ 82. My 82 rides cocked and locked in it just fine ? like it was made for it.
The para is actually a German/Nazi round, the 9x18 just a little to big to work in those guns, but a para will work in Mak guns, albeit with a pucker factor.
The Nazis had nothing to do with designing the 9 Luger. It was designed by Georg Luger in 1901, decades before there was such a thing as a Nazi.
During WWII, both the Axis and the Allies used the 9 Luger in combat. In fact, both sides manufactured and carried Browning Hi-Powers.
The 9 Luger bullet has a diameter of 0.355 in; that of the 9 Makarov is 0.365 in. Thus, the 9 Makarov cannot be chambered in a 9 Luger pistol.
Good luck loading the magazine of a 9 Makarov pistol with 9 Luger rounds ? they won't fit, because they are too long. If one were to go out of one's way to drop a 9 Luger cartridge into a 9 Makarov chamber to fire it, one would be fortunate to learn that the 0.355-in bullet won't expand to engage the 0.365-in barrel, because if it did, the 50% greater pressure of the 9 Luger exerted on the blowback architecture of the 9 Makarov pistol may well cause a ka-Glock.
