Spitfire

The Spitfire was a copy of the popular Czech CZ75 pistol, designed and manufactured by JSL (Hereford) limited of England. Variants included the Mk.I, the improved Mk.II, the Mk.II Short and the Mk.II Competition. An extremely limited number of these pistols were made in between 1991 and 1997, and manufacturing of this pistol ceased after the Firearms Act 1997 went into effect in the UK. Right now, the Spitfire is considered to be one of the rarest CZ75 copies in the world. Spitfire is a short recoil, tilting barrel action semi automatic pistol type handgun just like the CZ75. When compared to CZ75 however, Spitfire features a shortened 3.7 inch barrel, stainless steel gun frame and a metallic silver finish. Other differences from the base CZ75 model include an ambidextrous safety, a modified hammer and rubber grips. Spitfire is also able to chamber .40 S&W on top of 9x19mm Parabellum and 9x21mm IMI.
