The CZ 75 is one of the most influential service pistols designed in the Eastern Bloc, unusual for using a Browning-type tilting barrel rather than a Walther-type falling block, and for having the slide ride inside the frame rails for improved accuracy. Despite its Czech origins, it was primarily exported to Western markets for hard currency during the Cold War and has been widely copied worldwide.
