ZVS Holding A.S., headquartered in the Slovakian town of Dubnica nad Váhom, has been in the ammunition manufacturing and firearms development business since it was first established, in the 1920s. Ever since, it has been developing and mastering technologies and techniques to offer high-technology, highly modern products: so to speak, the Scorpion EVO-3 A1 9x19mm sub-machinegun, manufactured by CZ in Czech Republic, was originally born as an original ZVS Holding project. ZVS has been working to establish and launch a series of self-manufactured firearms for some years now, and is starting with a pistol design that takes upon modernity without forgetting classic, tried-and-true solutions and features.
The P21 is based on a CZ-modified Browning-type locking principle (they're thus more akin to a CZ pistol than to anything else), and yet, it features a fibreglass-reinforced polymer frame with ambidextrous slide stop and manual safety, and reversible magazine catch. The P21 is an external hammer-fired, SA/DA pistol featuring a 121mm barrel on an overall length of 210mm, and comes equipped with high-visibility sights.
Versatility is, however, the key feature of the P21 pistol. It may be converted from 9mm to .40, and vice-versa, simply by swapping slide, barrel and magazine − the frame having been designed to be compatible with the different sizes of the components. Would be priced at $749.
