*SOLD* CZ Vz. 50 .32 ACP Blue 3.5" *CZECHOSLOVAKIA MADE SEMI-AUTO PISTOL*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis

The CZ Vz. 50, also known as the CZ 50, is a distinguished Czechoslovakian semi-automatic pistol with a .32 ACP chambering, renowned for its robust design and historical significance. This pistol, developed in the aftermath of World War II by Ceská zbrojovka Uherský Brod, was designed by the Kratochvíl brothers, Jan and Jaroslav. The Vz. 50, where "Vz" stands for "vzor," meaning model in Czech and Slovak, showcases a blend of features inspired by the Walther PP and PPK. It sports a sleek blue finish and a compact 3.5-inch barrel, with a semi-automatic action that operates on the blowback principle. The pistol is fed by an 8-round single-stack magazine housed within a ribbed black polymer grip. Fixed blade front and U-notch rear sights provide basic yet effective aiming solutions. The Vz. 50 employs both single and double-action mechanisms for hammer and trigger operation, enhancing its versatility. Initially produced at Strakonice and later at Uherský Brod, the Vz. 50 was primarily distributed to police agencies under the Ministry of the Interior, though it saw some commercial sales. Its production ceased in 1970, leading to the introduction of its refined successor, the Vz. 70.
