Zastava

Anybody here own 1?

I shot the EZ 9mm imported from Serbia by EAA and..

was quite impressed with it. It belongs to a friend who came to my farm to shoot it. It looks like a copy of a SIG and is very well-made and reasonably priced. I would not hesitate in buying one at all. Zastava is a well known maker of quality firearms in Serbia, which used to be a part of Yugoslavia before the breakup.

I don't own one. I have shot the EZ9 that a buddy of mine has. It is very similar to a Sig 229 or 226. Nice shooter and seems well made.

I own a yugo m57 tokarev and a sks that was made in the zastava arms plant. They are very well made guns. The workmanship on the sks is superb. The sks I have had never been fired when I bought it.

The EZ-9, CZ-99, Golan, and TZ-99 are all virtually the same pistol. The South Africans and Israeli's have issued them to various police departments. They are big, bigger than necessary in the grip, but solidly reliable pistols.

One of the reasons I bought the EZ9 felt very comfortable in my hands. Only one trip to the range so far and was very impressed

TCV15,
Have you visited www.cz99.org?
You may fine it interesting owning an EZ9.

I had a CZ999 (aka the Charles Daly ZDA) in 9mm, and a CZ05 (aka the EAA EZ40) in 40 S&W. Both were well made and completly reliable, although a little large in general.
I do regret getting rid of the 9mm, and will probably fix the problem soon!

I own a nice CZ-99 in 9mm:

If my fingers were tad longer I would own one long ago. Seen them for $300 new at shows hard to go wrong with one at that price. Proly better then Chinese version out there.

Took it to the range today and wow, fired 100 mixed 9mm FMJ/JHP without a hitch and very accurate. Not thrilled with the DA pull but the SA is sweet and very easy to control/anticipate. I think that I am going to hold on to this one for a while and have some fun with it, it looks like a new pistol if I did not tell you that it is 20 years old.

I had a .40 cal. Zastava that looked and shot just like a Sig. It had a great grip and feel, and performed in an excellent manner in all aspects... except for the metal in the frame. I tried slipping a light onto the tac rail, and it sheared off the corners of the rail... so I tested the metal a bit further, and found that the frame was very soft metal all over.

Mechanically, the gun functioned flawlessly, but "wear wise", it was such soft metal in the frame, that I got rid of it. It was "wicked accurate", and felt good when I shot it, but every time the frame hit anything metal, it dinged up and lost it's anodizing.

I would hope that Zastava has fixed that, but since they're "import guns", I doubt if they care if they sent junk out. With a solid frame, they would certainly be great.

I also owned a model 88 9MM for a short while. I shot the gun for about 2 weeks, and never could get it to cycle properly, so I spent about 40 hours honing the slide and rail fit-up until it ran smoothly. It still wouldn't cycle properly, so I traded it off.

I might be tempted to try another .40 cal again, but the M88 was junk from the get go, and I was never satisfied with how it shot.

i have their tokarev and their model 70 .32 mini-tokarev. I just sent the .32 to my dad and he really likes it tho he hasn't shot it yet.

seems like they made solid guns and I wouldn't hesitate to own any of their old offerings.

 

[bentongunclub]

I love my M57. I'm just biding my time until the milsurp ammo comes back around. It is a load of fun to shoot and it will knock down steel at 200M (if it hits).

I bought an M88, couldn't believe how crude it was internally, got the 7+ lb trigger down to 3+ and sold it. It's better than any plastic gun though.
