| Pretty excited to add this one to my collection. It’s my first 9x18 so hopefully I pull a good one. Anyone ever add wood grips to this one? |

I'd be interested to know how many 82s CZ made. They've been consistently available on the surplus market from dealers for more than 20 years now. And the price hasn't changed much either. Back when they were first coming in there were a few manufacturers offering accessories for them. I remember seeing wood grips- but don't remember who was making them. |

Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

| I was waiting to run it before I replied. I shot a box of 50 through it without a single issue. I really enjoyed shooting it, a bit snappy and surprisingly more accurate than I thought it would be. AIM sent me a good one! And that holster is a cool addition too. |

Given the Mak head spaces on the mouth, you would really want to buy a dedicated length sizer/trimmer to get an accurate length each and every time. |

Sizing is part of the loading process and even new brass should be sized before loading. Lee makes a trimmer that is easy enough to use with a drill so cutting to length takes a few seconds per case. The best 9x18 cases I have found for reloading are Red Army Elite brass. They hold up well even when fired in partially unsupported chambers like that of a P-64. Most other brass cases bulge too badly to be reloaded safely, IMHO. This is why I initially began converting some of my fired 9mm brass. Simple, quick, and easy. My toys run them like any factory 9x18 Mak ammo. Boxes that contain them are well marked to avoid any confusion. |

I bought one years ago for $120.00 with 2 mags and a holster. The gun is stupid accurate and utterly reliable with every factory round and handload I've fired through it. It was my CCW while my Kahr K9 was getting refinished. I'd still carry it but the FIST holster I had for it cracked and I haven't been able to find a decent replacement yet. |
