The vz. 38 is a Semi-automatic pistol manufactured from 1939 until 1945 chambered in .380 ACP (in Europe called 9×17mm Browning Short). The barrel is attached to the frame by a hinge allowing for very easy disassembly.The pistol was never used by the Czech military as the vz. 38 orders were not delivered yet when Germany occupied Czechoslovakia in 1938. Several vz. 38s modified to have a manual safety were exported to Bulgaria before the German occupation.
