TheCZ 85 is adouble-actionsemi-automatic pistol based on theCZ 75[1] formerly manufactured inCzechoslovakia (now theCzech Republic) byČeská Zbrojovka.
The CZ 85 was developed because the CZ 75 had no patents protecting the design, and the CZ 75 was copied in other countries with unlicensed versions.
The CZ 85 is an updated version of theCZ 75, with slight changes made to internal parts to increase reliability. It has anambidextrous safety switch and slide stop, making the pistol suitable for both right- and left-handed shooters.
The CZ 85B is an up-to-date version with a firing pin block safety, squared off trigger guard, a ring hammer, and tri-dot sights.
It is available in9×19mm and.40 S&W calibers. The 9mm magazines hold 16 rounds and the .40 magazines hold 10.
