The CZ 38 was developed for the Czech army. It is a Double-Action-Only (DAO) pistol. When the contract was fulfilled the Germans occupied the Czech Republic. The pistols went to the Wehrmacht without proofing. The design is in my honest opinion not very nice, but the construction to dismount it is worth a look. It seems that the tilting barrel was also the reason for a "self"-dismounting when the soldier pulled it out of the holster.
