The CZ 110 is a recoil-operated, locked-breech pistol that features a short-recoiling barrel that locks to the slide by a single massive lug which engages the ejection port when locked. To unlock, the barrel is cammed down by the interaction of the shaped cam on the barrel and the frame parts. The frame is made from a strong polymer; the slide is made from steel. The CZ 110 is a striker-fired pistol; the firing pin (striker) can be fully cocked by the slide retraction cycle and then, if immediate fire is not required, can be brought down to rest by the decocking lever. The only other safeties are an automated firing-pin block and loaded-chamber indicator. The CZ 110 is obviously designed to be carried with loaded chamber and firing pin at rest, and to be fired double-action. However, if one is required to fire the first shot more accurately (in single action mode) it is possible to cock the striker by partially retracting the slide (by about 10 mm or 3/8 inch).
