Review & Range Report > CZ 999
Eastern Europeon Countries have always been known for producing quality firearms over last many centuries. Gun smithing in countries like Russia, Czechoslovakia, Hungry, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Poland etc is a cultral aspect. This industry gave this world handguns like CZ75B, Makarov, TT-33, Feg, XD, CZ999 and Viking.
CZ999 Scorpion is a Serbian handgun and is basically a clone of Sig P226 whereas the frame of the gun takes a few things from Walther P88. The first handgun in the series was developed in early 90s by a Yugoslavian company, Crvena Zastava. CZ999 Scorpion is a later derivative of CZ99 and is being manufactured in Serbia by the same company which is now called Zastava Arms. Even today, the old CZ99 is the official sidearm of most units of Serbian Army, though many have been equipped with newer models. CZ99 was a little smaller in length and had thicker grips. In 2000, CZ999 was developed by CZ which was the same gun as CZ99 but had slightly thinner grips and was overall a bit longer in length. In addition, it also had a Firing Mode Selector on the slide (DAO & SA/DA modes) and a Low Shot Indicator (a pin that used to protrude in the grips indicating last three shots). In 2004, Crevena Zastava developed CZ999 Scorpion which is same as CZ999 but does not have firing mode selector and last 3 shots indicator.
Though a clone itself, Israeli Golan pistol and South African TZ99 are licensed copies of CZ99, the grand father of CZ999 Scorpion. CZ999 Scorpion was imported in US as Charles Daly ZDA and later as EAA EZ9.
