HS95: Croatia Builds a Modern Pistol (ad-free)
🕑 Added 2023-01-27 12:00:03 +0000 UTCThe HS-95 was developed by HS Produkt to replace the PHP pistols. With the experience of producing many thousands of PHPs, the company had a much better understanding of how to design a pistol for production, which is immediately obvious in the HS95. It is a traditional tilting-barrel Browning action, with an external DA/SA hammer. It is largely copied from the Zastava CZ-99, but altered to look more like the SIG P229, and less Serbian (Serbia was not a particularly well-regarded country in Croatia in the mid-1990s).
Production of the HS95 ran from 1995 until 1998, when it was replaced by the HS2000. A total of between 15,000 and 20,000 were made, with the only major buyer being the Croatian Army. The guns were well regarded, simple and reliable, if heavy.

best looking so far but, at least on the older ones, I was kind of a big fan of the 220s series. except s&w steel DA/SA's that type ain't getting ANY better IMO.
