I am tempted on getting a CZ82 for $219 that they have in CenterfireSystems.com but I don't know much about these guns. I assume they are good since they where used by the Czech police in the 80s and 90s but still I am not sure how good they are or in what condition. Is the price fair? Are these handguns good? I've heard many positive things about CZ products and thats why I am tempted but I am not sure how good they are or if I could spend my money in something better.
Thank you for your help pals.

I've got one. Great pistol, very reliable. Mine had an issue with the grip screws backing out under firing. Once the grips came loose, they could engage the slide stop prematurely. A bit of loctite on the grip screws fixed that. The magazines don't drop very freely, though. I have concerns about using it for serious purposes for that reason. Other than that, they're damned fine pistols. |

I have two. I like the size. The grip is a nice fit for me.
This guy carries some nice custom grips you can get. Might want to look here for grips also. Get an extra mag if you can. Here's a place you can get a holster. I plan on sandblasting mine and putting a different finish on them. You'll find that the they will probably have paint missing by the trigger guard. That is from rubbing against the spare mag in the stock holster (spare mag put in wrong). The finish is durable but will probably be chipped. Some like the painted finish, some don't. I've seen some parkerized and they look great. This guy has a great series on working on the pistols. It's true that the mags don't drop very well. I think I read that it is by design. I do find the DA trigger to be quite heavy. I find that mine shoots about 4" low at 15 yards. You'll probably need some sight paint (or similar). I've yet to find a good source for spare parts (get several  ).

| It sounds like I may have to put some money in it. Is $219 the cheapest I can get it for? Anyone knows a place where they are cheaper? I have 6 rifles and the only handgun I have is a Ruger P85 which I love so far but I want to get another 9mm. Is there a better gun that I can get for about the same price as this CZ82? |

You won't have to put any money into it if you don't want too (except a holster if you want to carry). By the way, this gun fires the 9x18 round, not the 9x19 round that your P85 uses. |
| I looked in AIM and they are out of stock. I send them an e-mail to see when they will restock again. I also saw that on https://www.southernohiogun.com the CZ82s are cheaper. Do you guys think the condition would be good or if that is a good site to buy guns from? |

Do you guys think the condition would be good or if that is a good site to buy guns from? Classic Arms has them as well. They are GTG. Careful with the mag count, some of the less scrupulous dealers will only give you one mag with the gun, and sell you a second for $30. |

I could fix it easily enough, just haven't gotten around to it. Would like adjustable sights, but I'm morally certain there's nothing made for them in that vein. |
