Title: These are mags that are supposed to work in a CZ-82?

These are 12rd mags that are usually supposed to work in a CZ-82, at the below link?

(I understand the crossed-swords milsurps usually work too.)

Yes, those are the factory mags, and work great.  Avoid the ones with "CZ mfg" on the floor plate.  They are junk, and NOT CZ manufactured.  The channels near the top are not crisply stamped, and they have a cheesy welded seam in the rear.

Those work equally well in a 9mmMak vz82 or a 9mm Browning Short CZ83.

I can vouch for the real deal ones too straight from CZ.  I bought only those, even though they are a little spendy, they work flawlessly.  Another easy way to tell the of the real ones is the the side indentations (grooves) towards the bottom.  All have the ones on the top side.   The only exception are the original surplus mags that had no grooves, but had the crossed swords symbol at the bottom side.

My CZ83 (.380) came with two California mags (supposedly 10 round, but I could only ever get 9 rounds in them even with an UpLula).

I ordered two factory mags--same as at link and they work just fine in both my CZ83 and my CZ82 (9 mm Mak).

My used CZ82 had two of the crossed sword mags which had problems at first with the next-to-last round feeding until I gave them a thorough cleaning.
