Features

The CZ 100 has a number of important handgun features. It is hammerless self-cocking DAO (double action only), meaning that the firing system is under no tension unless the trigger is pulled. There is an automatic firing pin safety device. It is constructed for one-handed cocking, with a protrusion on the slide behind the ejection port intended for pushing against the edge of a fixed surface. The gun uses the usual Browning cam for action. There is a simple compensator on .40 S&W version. The tactical rail allows for the attachment of a laser or flashlight, but only proprietary models.
