New 82 owner

[Mountain Walker]

Big K:
The manufacture sells direct, sometimes you have to wait for a production run and filling previous orders. I like the idea of a lighter bullet being driven faster to deliver performance and stay withing pressure specs. This Powerball is round nose  so it should work just fine int the CZ82.

The more I shoot this gun the more I like it!

Found a good reload recipe for it too: Bullseye-CCI small primer-range brass cut down from 9mm luger-Berrys 95 gr RN. Shoots into the 3" circle just fine at 7 yds and a lot of fun to practice with too.

Its definitely in my carry rotation with Silver Bear rounds now.

I'm on my second CZ82.  Got the first from Classic Arms,  hand picked,  It turned out to be in need of some major repair.  When you pulled the trigger, the hammer would drop about 1/4 inch, then you had to pull harder on the trigger to pull the hammer back and then it would finally drop and fire.  I took it to a gunsmith and was told it would cost more than the gun was worth to fix.  Classic Arms refunded my $.  Next one I ordered from AIM.  It seems to be in much better condition but it kicks like a mule!! much worse than the first one.    Think I will order the recoil calibration spring kit from Wolff and see what it does for it.  It does throw the cases about 20 feet.  I found the best price on ammo from a website called www.ammoengine.com   and bought 500 rounds of Brown Bear.  It is steel cased but that makes it easy to clean up with the big magnet out at the range.  First 100 rounds fired with out a problem,  now I just need to figure out why I shoot low and to the left, with this and other guns too???
Over all I love the CZ82   Check out the cool shoulder holster that came from AIM..  It took some research to figure out how to put it together, but I  think i got it right..

Neat shoulder holster. I got one from CZ looks similar to yours but with two clips one on the end of the holster itself to the belt the other on the strap.

Mine shoots fine, I don't mind the recoil either, much lighter than my 357 mag revolver 

Those grips can be fixed using a tiny o-ring below each screw. Snugs it up really nice. I found that idea on this website in another thread about the grip problem loosening up.

The problem with the grips loosening is because there's only one fastening point, the screw. As the gun recoils, the frame twists in the grips and loosens the screw.

Another trick you can use is to buy a roll of the double-sided sticky tape for photo albums. It's very thin, and a strip between grip and frame at the top and bottom will prevent the twisting that loosens the screw(s).  Comes off easily. Available at photo album supply stores, etc.

The grips on my two 82s have never worked their way loose under recoil. I guess I'm just lucky.

My grips tend to get a bit loose after about 100-150 rounds, which is why I keep a little screwdriver bit in my gun case .  I've heard that putting o-rings in can help, and I've also heard the double-sided tape thing before, but I don't suspect I'll ever be in a 100-150 round firefight so I may just stick with tightening them up at the range

Or a dab or blue or green LockTite on the threads.
