Analysis

The CZ 92 was not officially imported or marketed in the United States through standard commercial channels by CZ-USA or authorized distributors. It was designed and produced primarily for the European market as a compact .25 ACP blowback pistol for personal defense and concealed carry. Official sources, including product listings from retailers that handle CZ imports, explicitly state it is only marketed in Europe. This aligns with its failure to meet the ATF's sporting purposes importation criteria under the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA), particularly the point system for handguns. Small, low-powered .25 ACP pistols like the CZ 92 typically score below the required threshold due to short barrel length, minimal grip size, fixed sights, and lack of adjustable features, making commercial importation prohibited without special exceptions (which were not granted for this model). Limited examples have appeared in the US secondary market over the years, likely through gray-market private imports, traveler bring-backs, or occasional dealer acquisitions from Europe prior to stricter enforcement. Current US market value reflects its scarcity rather than broad demand.
