The CZ-G2000 is a handgun created by CZ-Guns Trade and exported by Arms Moravia.[2] It can be chambered for 9x19 mm Para and .40 S&W with different magazine capacities. In Germany, it's known as the CUG-2000.[1]

History

The pistol first made its public appearance in 1999 by Arms Moravia for Czech police trials.[1][2] The CZ-G2000 made its debut at the IDEX-99 international military exhibit to show off to interested customers.[1] It was only sold in the European commercial market from 1999 to 2005 before it made its disappearance with no further details.[2]

Design

The construction of the CZ-G2000's body and slide is from polymer.[1] The pistol has undergone torture tests to withstand dirty and wet conditions without lubrication and increased temperatures and in temperatures below -40°C.[1]

Features

The CZ-G2000 operations based on the Browning design, operating on automatic lock recoil and a tilting barrel.[1] Its hammer can either be used in single or double action.[1] The trigger has a push power of 2.4 kg in single action and 4.9 kg in double action.

Safety

The pistol has a decocker, being the only safety device available.[1] In addition, an automatic safety lock is also mounted on the firing pin.[1] This blocks the hammer to prevent it from firing, being available only when the trigger is properly pushed.

Users

  •  Venezuela: Licensed under CAVIM as the Zamorana in 2005 and unveiled in 2006, created with some assistance from Czech engineers.[3][4][5] It only has a capacity of 15 rounds in the 9mm caliber.[6] It's to be adopted by local, municipal, state and national police forces.[7][8]
