CZ-82
This is my recent purchase from HARTSGUNS through Gunbroker.com, where they have a variety of CZ-82's and 83's available for under $200.00. I scored this one for $185.00. I just needed something to carry in the car, under the front seat, for any weird road situation that may present itself when I least need it.
Despite a multitude of high-dollar .380's and 9mm available for about $450.00 to $650.00, I decided to go with 9mm Makarov for their lower priced ammo, and high capacity (12) and high power to weight ratio in these military issue used guns.
I will keep you posted as to the target performance and reliability of this weapon with available 9mm Mak ammo.
Update: Tried out the pistol yesterday (Feb 12, 2011) at the Apalachicola Public Shooting Range and came away very impressed with the smooth shooting performance and ergonomics of this beat up looking piece. Of course it probably helped that I ditched the stock recoil spring, highly recommended by forums online, for a Wolf XP Makarov Spring, which barely fit into the slide after fitting it onto the barrel.
It's nice to have a carry pistol that outperforms the .380 at about half the price of ammo. Practice makes perfect.
