Built on a CZ-75-pattern design, the TZ-41C Series 88 uses internal slide rails that ride inside the frame for a low-profile slide-to-frame fit. The short-recoil, tilting-barrel DA/SA action provides a traditional double-action first shot with single-action follow-ups, paired with a frame-mounted manual safety.
The pistol is full-size with a 4.5 in barrel and a detachable double-column magazine offering a 10+1 capacity in .41 Action Express. Fixed 3-dot sights include a white-dot blade front and a square-notch rear with two white dots for quick alignment.
Construction is all-steel with a silver finish on both frame and slide. Controls include a left-side magazine release, a curved smooth-faced trigger, and an exposed spur hammer. Smooth varnished wooden grip panels round out the classic styling.
Markings include Italian proof marks, the F.I.E. Miami, Fla. importer stamp, and the frame designation CAT. 5578. Country of origin is Italy, with the year of manufacture noted as 1990.
