The Zastava M88 is a semi-automatic pistol produced by Zastava Arms, it is a compact redesign of the Zastava M57 pistol.
A simple handgun available in 9×19mm Parabellum and .40 S&W with non-adjustable sights and a single-action trigger, just like its older cousin, the TT-33. The M88 has a shorter 3.5 inch barrel and a different hammer position. A variant of the pistol called the M88A features an external safety on the slide and an internal firing pin block safety. [1]
The M88 saw limited use as a service pistol with the Yugoslav police and military forces, but was replaced by the higher capacity CZ 99 series, while sometimes used as a training pistol in some military training camps in Serbia.[2] Since then it has been widely available for civilian purchase. The M88 and M88A are also imported into the United States by the K-VAR/FIME Group.
