9x18 vs 9x19
HGM22
The 9x19 was a no option for the Czechoslovak armed forces and LE since the early 50s. Moscow blocked the SA 23/25 production which was intended to become the standard military SMG. Those produced were exported. The recalibration brought the SA 24/26 (later replaced by the vz 58). The CZ 75 was an export only product till the democratic changes and got on the former CSFR domestic market only in 1990-91.
Cheers!
Edit: The missprint in "SA 23/25" in the 2nd line corrected.
