Between 19 and 23 February 2017, Česká zbrojovka a.s. and its sister company 4M Systems s.r.o. took part in the IDEX exhibition in the United Arab Emirates.

It was the first time in the Middle East that the most important Czech manufacturer of small firearms introduced its new CZ P-10 C pistol with a linear striker and the CZ BREN 2, a new generation assault rifle.

At IDEX 2017 fair, Česká zbrojovka (CZ) and 4M Systems were part of the official Czech Republic pavilion, involving a total of 16 Czech companies.

In Abu Dhabi, CZ showcased a selection of its existing portfolio of service, defense and sport weapons. Two crucial new models attracted the most attention: the CZ P-10 C defense and service striker fired pistol with a polymer frame and the CZ BREN 2 multi-caliber modular assault rifle. It was the first time these weapons were introduced in this region and both enjoyed a lot of interest from the members of the armed forces as well as other visitors. Other products included in the exhibition were the CZ P-07 and CZ P-09 service and defense polymer pistols, the CZ SHADOW 2 sport special and the CZ SCORPION EVO 3 A1 submachine gun.

Together with products from CZ, there were also ballistic vests from our sister company, 4M Systems. Namely, it was the CZ 4M SPIRIT ballistic t-shirt, the CZ 4M VIP vest and the CZ RAPTOR ballistic vest.

Held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, IDEX was organized at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center, in association and with the full support of the UAE Armed Forces.
