This review covers the vintage Czech CZ 24 pistol chambered in .380 ACP. The presenter demonstrates its operation, including loading the single-stack magazine via a heel release and chambering a round. Live fire testing on a steel target highlights the pistol's performance. The CZ 24 is noted for its specific technical specifications, including an 8-round capacity and short recoil action.
The Nickl M1916/22 is a significant prototype pistol designed by Josef Nickl, Mauser's lead engineer, featuring a rotating barrel mechanism inspired by the Steyr-Hahn M1912. Due to post-WWI restrictions, Nickl developed this design further in Czechoslovakia, leading to the CZ 22 and eventually the CZ 24. The pistol showcases a unique safety lever and an interesting slide drop mechanism upon magazine insertion.
The Finnish Jatimatic SMG, released in 1982, was designed for private security with a unique offset receiver to counteract muzzle climb. It features a 40-round magazine, a folding grip that acts as a charging handle and safety, and a simple construction with a polymer lower and stamped steel upper. Despite its innovative recoil reduction system, the lack of a shoulder stock limited its practical accuracy, and it saw limited commercial success.
