Kal. 9x19 mm

Hrvatski Samokres (Kroatische Pistole)

Eingeführt in Kroatien

Das Vorgängermodell PHP konnte sich im Einsatz nicht bewähren. Im Juni 1995 führte Kroatien deshalb die Neuentwicklung HS 95 ein. Das Design war radikal geändert, weg vom Verschluss der Walther, hin zu Brownings System. Die Linienführung entsprach nun denen der SIG-Sauer P226, ohne dabei Patentrechte zu verletzen.

Development
The design of the HS 95 9 mm pistol (HS - Hrvatski Samokres - "Croatian pistol") would, at first sight, appear to owe much to that of the Swiss SIG-Sauer P226 9 mm and perhaps to some other pistols as well. The design is straightforward, uses the Browning locking system and includes the de-cocking lever safeties that many modern pistols incorporate. Both single-action and double-action operation is possible. There is an automatic firing-pin safety, and the pistol can be handled and operated by right-handed and left-handed firers. No tools are required for field stripping.
