Description
The VZ/SA 26 is a 7.62x25mm Czech submachine gun, representing a key innovation in postwar firearm design. Part of the renowned CZ VZ submachine gun series that began with the Sa 23 in 1948, the VZ/SA 26 was developed by Jaroslav Holeček, the chief engineer at the Česká zbrojovka Strakonice arms factory. This model, fitted with a metal folding stock, showcases the simplicity and reliability of mid-20th-century Czech firearms.
The VZ/SA 26 operates with a blowback action, firing from the open-bolt position, a design known for reducing firing rate and improving cooling. What sets this submachine gun apart is its progressive trigger mechanism, allowing users to switch between semi-automatic and fully automatic fire effortlessly. A light trigger pull delivers a single shot, while a firm squeeze engages continuous fire, making it versatile for various combat scenarios.
Whether you’re a collector of historical firearms, a reenactor, or involved in film production, the VZ/SA 26 offers a piece of Czech military history with functionality and reliability. Its minimalist design and solid build make it a valuable addition to any firearm collection.
