The Norinco NZ-85B is a Chinese copy/upgrade of the Czech pistol, the CZ 85, which was an upgraded version of the CZ 75.[1]

Design

The pistol design is based on the Czech CZ 85, specifically the CZ 85B. Compared to its predecessor the CZ 75, the CZ 85 has a firing pin block safety (similar to that of the Browning Hi-Power), squared off trigger guard, a ring hammer, and tri-dot sights (vs. the previous system of front blade and a rear square notch). As well as a slide-mounted safety/decocker, double-action trigger, slide rails in the inside rather than the outside of the frame, and a ten-round double column magazine.[2]

Some notable differences of the NZ 85B from the CZ 85 are, it has a heavy duty forged steel frame and slide (with a blued finish),[3] and a chrome-lined barrel.[2]
