...almost Christmas and some people need fast money so I saw this and snatched it up. Was always curious about them. A Sig copy obviously but with some obvious differences. I will say, the trigger has a long DA pull, light SA pull but the reset is all the way out. I purchased the 40 as I just put money down on another HK, a USP 40 compact, after shooting a buddies. I have 40 ammo, just no gun yet till now. No range time, I am curious though. It seems like a solid gun, craftsmanship is not quite Sigs quality as I can see markings in the internal of the slide. Some of the edges are no smooth, some roughness. Ergos are very similar and the grip is not as thick as the Arex, another Sig copy.



Next to my Sig 226 Navy...


Sig P220 Elite Dark, W. German 220/226 Navy/226 Tac Ops/226R Stainless/228/229 Legion/229R/M11-A1D

Glocks, HK, Walther, XDs, etc, etc...

They seem like neat guns, although I'm not sure how many magazines are still available. I've become something of a fan of Zastava's rifles, so I keep thinking that if I stumble on a good deal for a 9mm in good shape I might jump on it. A lot of them seem to have had the snot beaten out of them - perhaps they were a fad among the 'truck gun' crowd?

If I'm not mistaken, although they look like a SIG, internally they're more like a Walther P88.

They look like a Sig internally, from a quick view, but don't really know. Finding mags is tough, I found 2 that I just bought, for 3 total. Not easy and not cheap.

I am fairly sure that P226 mags work in those. They did in my 1988 Zastava. Only difference was a hole for the loaded chamber indicator.

They’re interesting pistols. I have found Yugoslavian weapons to be very well made.
Saw my first one of those in 1993. A Serb major was carrying it.

Zastava made a prototype polymer frame pistol. The PPZ, in multi caliber chamberings.

Whether it made production, and if anyone is going to import it if so, I don't know.

What interested me about it, one of the chamberings was 7.62 x 25/Tokarev.

Neat looking pistol but I didn't realize how much larger it is compared to the p226. Do any holsters fit both guns?

The combination slide stop and decocking lever came from the Walther P88 of the 1980s.
