I watched an interview at the Shot Show, with ARSENAL and their was a guy saying they were importing these handguns, and were going to carry all parts and their Mags.

Never seen one in person, but a search on this forum for "Zastava" in the thread titles brings up more than one page of results. (I didn't look to see how many threads were on the second page. It might just be 1 page + 1 thread . . .)

These are the current generation of Zastava pistols. Prior were the CZ99 and CZ999, as well as clones such as the Golan (I think) and the TZ99 (think that was South African).

These have been around awhile, and with different circumstances might have been more popular and expensive here. My understanding is that some US PD's were considering adapting them, but the Serbian conflict broke out, and you couldn't import them any longer. Also, Serb guns became stigmatized.

Steel slide, aluminum frame. Similar to Sig on the controls.

I believe Cole's Distributing has a fair number of CZ99's on Gunbroker.

edit: I looked at the link, there may be some misinformation. The gun is claimed to be steel frame and SA; everything I've read elsewhere is DA/SA, aluminum frame.

I have a few old Zastava rifles, a Yugo SKS and an M48 Mauser.

They shoot just fine, I'd risk buying a modern one.

As noted, probably later (updated?) versions of the CZ99 and CZ999 -- which aren't CZs, but guns based on a Walther design, with some features from SIGs, but made to look like SIGs.

Everybody who has had one and talked about them on the forums seem to think highly of them. My only concern is replacement parts -- and support if you need replacement parts. (My concern is based on a complete lack of knowledge of support from the manufacturer and how they are serviced under warranty here in the 'states. It may be an unwarranted concern.)
