*Heckler & Koch VP70Z Pistol in Factory Box in Rare 9x21 Caliber

9x21mm. 4.5" barrel. SN: 93095. Blackened slide, polymer frame and grip. Direct blow back semi-automatic pistol with a "double action only" style heavy trigger that cocks the striker with each pull, giving the gun a repeat strike capability. Features include a cross bolt safety behind the trigger, a conventional U-notch fixed rear sight and a unique hollow center double ramp front sight that produces a "negative space" effect. The pistol is important in the development of modern semi-automatic handguns in that it was the first fully polymer frame pistol to be produced, predating the Glock by slightly more than a decade. The pistol is accompanied by the original factory box serial numbered to the gun on the end, and factory paperwork, as well as a single 18-round magazine. The 9x21 chambering was produced for the Italian market where military caliber arms are restricted and several references note that only 400 of the guns were produced in this caliber. {MODERN}
