I got this gun recently from PK90 who had it in stock Short review and some background info: The Zastava EZ9 is a 9mm is a 4th generation police and army pistol of the CZ99 model (not the Czech CZ) that was developed to replace the M57 or Yugo TT. It`s made in the Zastava Arms Factory in Kragujevac,Serbia (Same factory that makes the Zastava PAP rifle and they also do rifles for Remington). The gun is/was standard issue for the cops in a few country sucessors of Yugoslavia and also has a large share of the civilian market. It was legally licensed to Soutn Africa (model Tressitu TZ-99) and Israel (model Golan by KSN Industries) for army,police and civilian markets , so it has seen some combat and duty use. In the US it was imported by Charles Daly , EAA and now K-VAR. The pistol itself is an amalgamation of a Walther P88 and a SIG P226 in a typical Yugo style R&D (copy,mix,beef it up and try until it works reliably). I don`t know about the SIG p226 internals since i dont have one but read that they differ from this gun. Anyone that has a p226 ( probably 50% of NJGF`ers ) lets meet up and compare at a NJGF shoot !!! Frame is aluminum that`s coated with some kind of paint , that will eventually wear off on the rails inside. Slide is steel and you can see some rough machining marks on it but that is a non issue for me. Shot 500 rounds of S&B on 2 range trips (250 rds each time) , to break it in and no problems whatsoever with the gun Trigger is DA 10lbs and SA is 4lbs. so far very happy with this gun. Many people i know in Ex-Yugoslavia own this and they ve never had any major issues with it. Good: Gun is very accurate , barrel is chromed inside and out Fully Ambidextrous slide and mag release Decocker and slide release is in one lever Price : 360$ +tax+NICS Not so Good: Plastic toy gun type of grips and no aftermarket ones yet. Some will find the gun very thick ( i have large hands and have no problem) Lack of aftermarket parts and accessories (this also may change now that K-VAR is the importer) The gun came with one 15rd magazine. Additional mags online will run you about 25$ , but a SIG p226 and Beretta 92 mags can be modified to fit. There is a lot of reviews from owners online which vary and they even have their own forum www.cz99.org
