The President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, visited Ukraine together with the President of Slovakia, Zuzana Čaputová on April 28, 2023. Both met with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. On that occasion, President Pavel presented President Zelenskyy with a hand-engraved CZ 75 pistol from the Order of the White Lion edition as a state gift.

Also apparently Colt CZ is doing NFTs, for some reason.

    The CZ75 without the rail is one of the nicest looking handguns I have seen.

      I love my shadow 2 and SP-01 both got rails. I think they complete the firearm. The 75 is still stupid pretty though.

        That’s fair, an oppinion is subjective after all.

        For me rails fit well on more square guns, but I am talking about things I have zero practical experience with, I have never owned any gun, nor have I fired a gun, I have shouldered a few guns in a museum, (most modern is the Ak5) but that’s it.

          You should if you ever get the chance. And you’re absolutely right, I guess I enjoy the more squared off pistols. I do like the roundedness of my 1911s though.
