My Latest CZ
« on: September 05, 2010, 01:12:50 AM »
I traded for my CZ-82 and received it Thursday. Haven't had chance to shoot it yet.
It's dated 89 and in excellent+ condition.
It came with the older saddle holster which is in perfect condition also.
I looked the net for a replacement set of grips even though the original grips are pristine.
I wanted some contrast between the grips and the black finish.
I found a guy who makes custom grips for CZ's and other pistols.
Here's a few pics of the gun and custom grips.

I love my 82!  It'll shoot crazy small groups.  The recoil can bite ya though.  I recommend getting a 16 lb or 18lb wolff recoil spring.

Very nice canis. I have thought in the past about getting an 82 and pics like yours serve to renew the idea. ;D

Thanks.
I used a EG Makarov for my carry gun, but I prefer this one much more.
Larger mag capacity, better double action, just better overall.
I'm glad I picked this one up.

The 82/83 is considered the cadillac of the blowback pistol.
