The pistol vz. 24 or ČZ 24 is a Czech self-loading pistol .
history
The origin of the vz. 24 goes back to the Mauser pistol 1910/14 by Josef Nickl . The first patents were registered for Mauserwerke AG . Josef Nickl developed further models as part of the production relocated to Czechoslovakia as a pistol vz. 24, which was manufactured in Zbrojovka Brno from 1922 to 1924 . Later patent specifications named Gustav Benes as a further developer , who introduced further improvements in cooperation with Alois Tomiška .
Before the Second World War, the Czechoslovak military was using pistols of the type vz. 24 equipped. The manufacture of the vz. 24 was expensive. On the basis of this weapon, František Myška developed the simplified model vz for Česká zbrojovka ( ČZ for short ) . 27 with ground lock for the smaller caliber 7.65 × 17 mm HR . The pistols were issued to both the Wehrmacht and the police, where they were listed as Pistol 24 (t) and Pistol 27 (t) .
Designations
The two names ČZ 24 and vz. 24 indicate the introduction of the weapon as an orderly pistol . The Czech “vzor” means “model”. The officially introduced pistols were marked with vz. xx denotes. Further designations, such as P. 24 (t) and P. 27 (t) , emerged from the introduction in Germany. In the Finnish military the vz. 24 introduced as M / 23 CZ . The model introduced in Poland vz. 28 also has the 9 × 17 mm caliber , the difference to the vz. 24 essentially consists of mountable stop stocks, which, like the Mauser C96, also served as the weapon case.
technology
The vz. 24 has an elaborate lock that locks by means of a rotatably mounted barrel. There is no tension trigger , the cock only protrudes slightly from the end of the slide. The trigger has a magazine safety which prevents a shot being released without a magazine. A special version with an extended barrel was made for the use of a silencer .
