Actually, Sarsilmaz is a stand alone company, and not affiliated with CZ in any way. The CZ pistol patents have run out and several companies make clones or near copies, including Sarsilmaz and Canik, both of Turkey, Tanfoglio of Italy (who has been making them so long they have largely become quite different from the original CZ design), IMI/IWI of Israel, a couple different models from Switzerland, one from the UK, and several others marketed by importers but usually made by one of the above manufacturers. Other than the Model 1911-type pistol, the CZ75 is the most prolific full-sized pistol in the world, I suspect, with only the Browning P35 hi-Power giving it a run for the money.
