Hello. Please Help CZ 82 Questions

Brand new to the Forum; really enjoy this string. I have a CZ 83 and am considering adding a CZ 82.
Can anyone enlighten me as to whether there's enough difference (in performance) to make the addition worthwhile?

CZ 82 is C&R, CZ 83 is not.

In terms of exterior and terminal ballistics, there are no substantial differences between .380 Auto and 9 Makarov.  The most noticeable difference between my new 83 and my milsurp 82 is that the latter's trigger was well broken in and buttery smooth and light.

CZ-82 works with really heavy gloves, the 83 does not, unless you put the 82 trigger guard on.  It’s a great sidearm for hunting, riding or anything else you do gloved. 

The Makarov round is 9.2mm.  It is designed specifically to tumble upon impact, making ball ammo nearly as effective as HP.  I shudder to think how the USSR did their research in its design.

My CZ 82 has performed extremely well shooting the Hornady 95 grain Critical Defense XTP's as well as the FTX's!!  Mine is deadly accurate to 25 yards!
