The CZ 82 and CZ 83 are almost identical but have differences. Designed in 1982, the CZ 82 has served the Czech Military 40 years and the CZ 83 is the civilian version. Thanks to AIM Surplus and Fiocchi Ammunition. #CZ83 #CZ82 #Makarov

I've had my CZ-82 for just about 20 years now, and it's still my go-to summer carry gun. I'll even carry it in the winter sometimes. With a healthy supply of Hornady defensive ammo (and a tonne of Tula for the range), it's probably the one pistol I'll never get rid of.
Biden just stopped all Russian ammo imports.
@@joebauers3746 Yeah, the 7N6 ban was shitty enough, now this. I wonder if Wolf sources all their 9x18 from Russia or if Red Army Standard imports it.
@@Ionatan667 would be a good gun to carry when you’re shoveling snow with gloves on thanks to the enlarged trigger guard and after seeing that couple get murdered over a dispute about the placement of shoveled snow in PA I’d be damn sure to carry one every time in shoveling snow just in case.
@@actinganimal885 I've seen that video. Really disturbing
@@joebauers3746 almost, he didn’t stop all imports, he stoped all new contracts… preexisting contracts still exist and are being imported by tula and wolf, how much longer those contracts are going to last? I don’t know… but fingers crossed the contracts should outlast the current presidency so the import ban could be overturned
Note that the Cz82 was replaced by the Cz75 in Czech Military Service after the "Velvet Revolution" in 1989. The Cz82's were then given to the Czech Police, who later replaced them with the Cz P01.
And now the CZ PC10
Can’t top the Po1
Have had my cz82 for almost a year now and it took me some time to get some surplus mags but now it's my favorite carry piece, not many guns fit right in the hand but the 82 with night sights is damn good 👍
I’ve got six CZ’s, their all like that. Fit like a glove !
I collect my brass. When I shot my CZ82, I could not find the brass. Later I read a comment on a CZ82 review and the reviewer said he too was surprised he couldn't find the brass. After a continued search he stated, "The CZ82 ejects the brass into the next county!" Then, with a much wider search, I also found my brass. It was at least 15 yards away from the shooting position.
I got a brand new CZ-83 .32 ACP the last year they were produced, 2013. It has almost doubled in value since then, but I have no intention of selling it. The weight of the gun combined with .32 ACP makes for low recoil. It also allows you to use hot European .32 ACP-like Fiocchi or Sellier & Bellot-with muzzle energy approaching .380 ACP (~179 ft-lbf) but no significant increase in recoil. So you get respectable muzzle energy, low recoil, and a generous 15-round capacity. Love it.
No problems with rim lock? If a strong load has the same muzzle energy like a .380 than it has the same recoil. There are also 70gr bullets for .380 if both have the same velocity they have both the same recoil. Normaly people think .32 recoil less becaus they are mostly loaded quite weak in general the US brands. A S&B 70gr load of .32 is rated with 1050fps! normaly with US loads its rather around 800.
@@Gieszkanne No problem with rim lock when the right ammo is used. The overall length (OAL) of the cartridge plays a big role in rim lock. Rounds measuring .910" or less, typically flat nose or hollow point, are far more prone to rim lock. "Rounds longer than .960" are less prone to rim lock in standard .32 ACP magazines because they fill the front to back space within the magazine and therefore do not slide during firing." European .32 ACP tends to have the highest OAL. Fiocchi, S&B, and Prvi are three with high OALs. Those are the three rounds I use almost exclusively. The only time I experienced rim lock was when I used a U.S. brand of .32 ACP hollow point. Now I stick to the three previously mentioned, and I have no problems at all. Regarding recoil, it is true that cartridges producing the same energy are going to exert the same resulting force on the shooter. However, they can produce differences in the felt recoil impulse depending on the load and the firearm. Power is force divided by time. The rate at which force is transferred plays a role in how recoil is experienced. A higher Rate of Force Development (RFD) will feel more powerful than a lower RFD. Felt recoil also depends on the shape of the RFD curve, whether the rate is highest at the beginning, middle, or end of the impulse. Some people experience a more "snappy" impulse with .380 ACP, even at energy levels similar to .32 ACP's upper limits. The types of powder used and the loading pressure are two factors that play a role in the shape of the RFD curve. If you loaded .32 ACP and .380 ACP with the same bullet weight, powder, and pressure then fired them out of the same model of firearm, it would be interesting to see how similar they are. Of course, this is assuming someone is loading their own ammo. Most people buy off-the-shelf ammo and have no control over those factors. Since that is the case, it is likely that the average shooter will experience a difference in felt recoil between the two rounds.
@@476429 Thanks for your sophisticated answer! So its not so good to use hp. That is really a downside. I dont know why they never redesign the .32 and make it at least rim less. Did you realized that federal came out with a new .32 this year calling it the "30 Super Carry"? Stupid name. But its quite different. The case is longer than 9mm and normal bullet weight is 100,115 grain. Insane 50,000psi and almost the same ballistics than 9mm. Most reviewers say it has the same recoil some say it has bit less. When the difference is not so big it gets very subjective. I once had the chance to shoot a PPK in .380 and .32. Both were loaded with reloads. The owner loaded max powder charges. I was surprised that the .32 doesnt felt less to me. Also some like the .45ACP over the 9mm because its rather a softer push. Once I shot .357 Sig what normaly should have more than 9mm but it was much faster like to fast that you can feel that it has more. I liked it more than the 9mm even so i like less recoil. But of course it also depends a lot out of which gun you shoot it.
@@Gieszkanne Regarding the .45 over 9mm, that's what I'm talking about with differences in how recoil is experienced. In general, the .45 has a higher muzzle energy than 9mm and therefore a higher corresponding recoil. Yet the recoil can feel lower than 9mm. It has to do with the rate of force development curve-which is itself related to powder, pressure, bullet weight, etc. And that's even if the firearm's weight and barrel length are the same for both.
I got a deal on a mint one about 3 years ago for under $400. Not easy to find.
In the Czech Republic, there is a shortage of magazines for the civilian CZ83 7.65. It is no longer produced.
Owned my cz82 for 12 years and it is still my favorite pistol.
I have two CZ's myself and I love them. I don't have those two particular models but I do have a CZ97BD with a short reset. It was CZ 75 tactical BD. Both guns are great shooting.
Same here. Love my CZs. 97BD & P-01.
I have a CZ-75BD and CZ-83 (.32 ACP). Now I want a CZ-97BD and CZ P-01 as well as a CZ-527 rifle in 7.62x39mm or 6.5mm Grendel. I've got CZ fever. 😀
Agreed. CZ makes great handguns. I have 527 carbine in 7.62x39. With handloads I get about .5". Sweet, accirate, looks good. Does fine on deer too if shooting 100 to 125 yards. Even with Russian ammo, it shoots an inch.
I carry my CZ 82 in a urban carry holster g3. Also have it loaded with 9x18 jhp. I also carry a P-64 with same ammo.
Love my 52 and 762x25 too...beast
I go check out other channels like sootch recommends but I always come back to the leader in gun review thank you sir!
Makarov is the first gun I ever bought and it's still the best very accurate and easy to shoot especially 1 handed feels amazing in the hand
Same as the cz75 compact 👌I have the full sized sp01 and it’s great of course. Picked up my compact for the first time and the light of the heavens shined behind me
I have the cz 83 in .32 acp. I love it. Got it for cheap here in Europe.
I got one here in the US about 3 years ago for under $400.
This is a comparison I wanted for years but didn’t even know it. Thank you very much
I have had my CZ-82 in 9x18 for about 12 years now…arguably the most accurate of my small caliber pistols, so much so that it is one of my three EDC guns. Ammo for it is getting crazy, glad I bought ammo as often as I could back in the day so I’m pretty well stocked in ball for plinking and HP’s for carry
Well, next range trip I've got to take along my CZ82 now! I see a BUNCH more 9x18 around St. Louis than .380 currently, but I've got a decent pile. I'm training with my CZ PCR currently, so it's all in the family next pew party.
Thanks to SM & her assistant! Always thorough and objective.
She keeps me in line! lol! Thanks Dave
The 9x18 Makarov has a bullet diameter of 0.365 instead of the usual 0.355 of the 9x19. Nice to have your daughter involved in the commentary!
Well of course, Russians have everything bigger and so their nine is obviously also bigger then any other nine. Greetings from Prague, Czechia.
@@marcelsvitalsky8993 It's 9 periwinckles, not 9 millimeters.
I picked up two CZ-82s back when they were cheap and plentiful. Still own 'em both - wonderful guns, lots of fun to shoot. And handy to keep in my vehicle on road trips.
in bulgaria there still bout 100 euros
Nice review! I have found that the 82 is more accurate than the 83 in 380. I think the rifling must help. I also like the fact that you could buy cheap ammo in 9x18... Used to!!!
I had a cz52,and it's a cannon compared with my 03 colt .32 and astra 600 9mm.
If only the transcript for the captions read, “Let’s Czech them out.” That would have been something special.
I don’t know what traditional Czech music sounds like, but that was some very Italian sounding Czech, my hands involuntary started talking
Definitely NOT Czech music (I am native CZ), it sounds more Balkan-ish to my ears.
🤣🤣🤣👍🇨🇿 What do us Amerikanski's know🤣 This American does know that I own 7 CZ pistols, 1 CZ rifle, with a few Walther, H&k vp70z .... That muzack smelled like pizza🍕 to me 🍕 🤣👍🇺🇸
I got my cz-52 and got a Harrington firing pin, still one of my most reliable firearms.
Yeah the CZ-52 is sweet. Just don’t dry fire the Beast as original firing pin is a bit brittle could damage it with dry firing.
The first time I dry fired my Cz52 the firing pin broke and the end fell out down the barrel.
Great review. Love the classic iron. No polymer on these all real steel. I love my Italian beretta 70 in 380. Heavy but I love it. Again thanks for doing these.
yes. l live ln the former ussr, and can tell you- in the former ussr plastic pistol is like wooden tank or rubber woman from the sexshop. only one case we can admit- light weght for carry service pistol in plastic.
This is like my favorite 80's military pistol.
My wife has an 83, she loves it. Nice gun to shoot with a nice capacity
Love my CZ83 low recoil very good in follow up shots very accurate
I have an 82- favorite gun. Get one if you can. You won't be disappointed
In 2019 these were about $200. I bought one in 2020 for $300. They are now ~$450 on J&G Sales. You're right Sootch, the value of these guns very quickly appreciated. I love mine, just hard to get good magazines. Never use the ones with "mfg CZ" on the bottom, they are knock-offs that get stuck in the magwell, do not feed well, and do not lock-back the slide. You want the ones with cuts towards the bottom of the mag and/or with the crossed swords mark.
It was a mistake to end the CZ82/83 line. Would buy an 83 over any .380 in the market.
My CZ-82 is my go to carry gun. Very reliable and accurate.
I just picked up a CZ/VZ-83 in 9MAK to join my CZ/VZ-82. Gotta live that polygonal rifling in both.
Love my CZ 82D with Threaded barrel... It's a very quiet pistol.. love the thump of the 9x18mak round.
I have a CZ52, while these old Cold War guns are effective in a gunfight, they are way too heavy for concealed carry. Maybe concealed under the dash board they would be good. I carry the CZ52 in Grizzly country since it has the power of a .357 for nice overpenetration on large animals.
There is another interesting detail about the CZ-82: the reason it has a polygonal “rifling” is because it was designed for a rather unusual type of bullets, the Czech 9x18 mm vz. 82 military ones. Unlike your typical Makarov with bullets having lead core or-for military usage-the steel core and some little lead between the core and the jacket, the Czechoslovak vz. 82 military ammo have bullets made of (I lack the proper English term here) “baked-together steel sawdust”. It was lighter and faster then the std. Makarov bullet and it was not suggested to use these cartridges in Makarov pistols, as they would wear their barrels down pretty quickly. So we were able to use their ammo but they could not use ours, or not for too long anyway. :-) Greetings from Prague, Czechia.
Sintered steel powder :) A "nice thing" about it is that it fragments on impact, not sure about how much of an impact is needed for the vz 82 ammo (whether for example impact on skull is enough), but I think that it would be just a question of sintering temperature to achieve that, possibly making it a better alternative to lead than all I've seen being considered right now (not that I would want lead to be banned), still nowhere near lead.
@@lamerjakprase Well, not quite. At least as far as fragmenting on impact goes. Vz 82 ammo is actually penetrating quite well, it behaves more like big and fast steel pellet. A skull, or a standard-pre-kevlar-helmet for that matter, is no match for it to cause it to fragment.
I had a 82 for years. It’s a great gun.
I have an old-ish imported Mak that was rechambered for .380 Legitimately one of my favorite little shooters. Mak's are awesome, but being able to actually find ammo is better so I'm actually glad I ended up with a .380
I picked up a CZ82 last year and had so much fun restoring it. I paid $214 for one that was graded as “Good “. When I go to the range I always get inquiries on what that heck is that and what a cannon it is. It’s one of my favorites in my collection. As a side note, put a Bersa Thunder 380 Combat plus next to the CZ82 and you’ll see where Bersa got it’s design. Almost identical. As always thanks for the great review.
Bersa is a PP clone, but like he said in the video, so is the CZ82...
Glad you picked up on the Bersa combat too . 15+1 my next purchase for 😃 sure
Haven't fired my 82 yet. Had it for years. Like to get an 83
Very nice detailed video, thank you.
I just got the 83 in 380 acp. I want the Makarov now. I really didn't realize the power of that cartridge. Very good video sir, Thank you. God bless America and your family 👪
EXCELLENT BACKGROUND MUSIC!
Fun fact: I had a ND with a CZ-82 which sent a 93gr FMJ 9x18mm round right into my right leg. It shattered the tibia and ricocheted and came out the top of my foot. 100% my fault and completely unacceptable from my end. Had nothing to do with the gun whatsoever. The CZ-82 is a phenomenal little firearm, and it really was ahead of its time. I still have mine and it is one of my all time best shooters. When I let my father shoot it for the first time, he couldn’t even force himself to miss with it. And he’s not an ardent shooter. The single action trigger breaks clean, and the double action is smooth as butter. For anyone who has doubts as to the effectiveness of the 9x18mm caliber, let me tell you, it absolutely works. Be safe out there, and happy shooting!
I did the same with my CZ 75 decocking it... my thumb slipped off the hammer and sent the 9x19 through my fibula shattering it. That was a good 8 years ago but to this day it's still my favorite gun.
I love my Cz 82. I run hollow points in mine and it is a blast.
With these older designs, all steel guns, you know they have an excellent track record of reliability!
My grandpa has the 82 in 9x18 makarov. It’s gonna get passed down to me
A Cz75 Rammy in 10mm sounds nice.
YES PLEASE
Little PSA: There is surplus Czechoslovakian 9mm Makarov ammo marked 9mm vz. 82 and it´s bullet is made from baked in steel sawdust (shavings?). It´s tobe used in CZ vz. 82 pistol ONLY!!! (because chromelined polygonal rifling). CZ 83 CANNOT handle this ammo: in better case it destroys it´s rifling in worse case bullet carve itself in to the rifling too slow, chamber presure rises above safe limits and shooter gonna have very bad day. I have no idea if some of this ammo made it to the US, but here in Czech republic there was some bad incidents with unaware shooters loading this ammo to the CZ 83 in 9mm Makarov. So be aware.
Love my 1911 in 7.62x25 conversion barrel 5.13" (J&G Sales) 1700FPS
Arnold performed a russian cop in the film "Red Heat". He was also very proud with his Makarov. Hahaha..!
Wonderful presentation sir ..
Great video brother!
380 handguns have gotten a lot smaller but what hasn't gotten smaller is the complaints about recoil compared to guns like the CZ 83 or the Beretta Cheetahs.
Very cool pistols Sootch
Those are very nice pieces.
One thing to note that almost bit me - the left side of the trigger guard has a recess milled out to make room for the end of the slide release wire spring. My spring had somehow bent and was not sitting in that recess and was instead blocking the trigger guard from fulling seating in the locked up position. The trigger guard did travel up far enough to allow the magazine into the well and the slide was prevented from traveling far enough to disassemble it, but I wouldn't have trusted it. Without the magazine in the well the trigger guard needed only a light touch to snap it down. This situation is visually obvious as instead of the trigger guard sitting flush against the frame you have a sort of dog-tooth effect. To fix it, just tap the roll pin above the trigger part way out the right of the frame. This pin holds the shepherd's crook end of the spring in place. By tapping the pin part way only you release the spring on the left side so it can drop out, and reassembly is easier than if you completely remove the pin. You can then replace the spring entirely or bend it back into shape and place it back into the hole in the slide stop. Then press it up into the frame beyond the roll pin and tap the pin back into place.
Have a CZ82...All in all, it has the BEST standard trigger in single action mode than any pistol I own. Not the best looking pistol, however, it's well proven for decades, always feeds and functions very well and as we all do recognize, IF CZ MAKES IT, it's a good to go gun. Bought two originally from J&G, one was pristine, the other beat to sh*t. Sold the beater, kept the nice one, I see them at well over $400.00 on some after market sales sites. Grandson has dibs on it, he noticed the trigger too. Smh, kids these days. ( Now, if you want to comment on 9x18 snapditty, try the PA-63, a most fav' ccw.)
I had the same experience with the two J&G guns! It was a long time ago.
Love the music!!!!!!!
fun fact: CZ 82 (Vz. 82) is actually not primarily chambered in 9mm Makarov but in 9mm Vz. 82 :) hotter steel projectile ammo :)
I own two 82's and love them. Carry one everyday at work but carry my CZ 75 D compact PCR on my days off. I can't feel the difference in weight between the two when in the belt line. Either way I feel confident in their ability to preserve my fragility.
If you want to have a “lot of fun” try completely disassembling and reassembling the CZ82. I have done it a few times.
My first pistol was a CZ 83 with nickel finish. Still my fav.
Have a 83 love the 380, larger selection of rounds and self defense rounds.....shoots excellent and love the simple takedown.... little big and heavy by today's standards.....but love shooting it...
I introduced all my kids to centerfire pistols with my 83, and they were all able to easily manage it. It's a perfect gun for new shooters, reliable and well-mannered. Flings brass a country mile, too, just for extra giggles.
Thank you for that review and both of those guns are awesome actually all four of them were it beats the plastic junk that they got today and believe me I like to rip on the plastic junk
It's hard for me how you can spend so much time carrying a Glock. Your matter that you present the CZ videos shows they have a special place in your heart.
It's very interesting that you can clearly see Czechoslovak army markings on both of them ("she" 89 (year) and crossed swords) but CZ 83 was never in use with army. Wonder what that is about. Also that is NOT Czech music in any way but sounds like something from Balkans, bit annoying to us Czechs watching your channel.
I've got two CZ83-s, both bought brand new in a gun shop by civilians in Estonia in the 90's. Both have the "she" markings on them. Might it be just a marker of a Czech made firearm? Very nice pistols, by the way - looking like new too - we've luckily got probably one of the safest neighbourhoods in the world (combined with them strict European gun laws) and very few people bother to carry their guns around, so you may easily find a 30 year old gun that's only been shot a couple of times when it was bought and has just been sitting in a safe since.
@@juhansuits6555 what are the gun laws like in Estonia? Do you have caliber restrictions? I carry a polish P64 or a CZ82 on occasion. In Pennsylvania USA open carry is legal for everyone, and you only have to do a backround check, pay a small fee and you can get a concealed carry permit good for 5 years at a time. Also we have no magazine capacity or caliber restrictions. The Right to Bear Arms is written into the State Constitution. New Jersey is right next to us and has some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
Qualified for my SC CWP with a CZ 82. Great little gun!
Same here…used my CZ 82 and put 25 rounds inside a pie plate at 25 feet and the instructor came up to me and said “I’m guessing you’ve done this before” I just smiled and said a bit but it’s really the gun.
Weird coincidence, I just bought a CZ83 yesterday then saw this video...you can still find deals (mine was $350) but the price has shot up a good amount.
Have 2 CZ 82's, with night sights and 1 CZ 83. The 82's are blued and the 83 is nickel. Makes it easy to keep ammo separate. The trigger on the 83 is super clean and fast shooting. I use it for plate shoots and have my fastest times with it! Great guns and the 82 is a perfect EDC.
I have a 83 I went it because .380 is easier to find than 9x18 . I do like it is my carry pistol very reliable but I'm looking at the double stack 9mm subcompacts that are coming out to replace it but I won't sell it off its a quality pistol worth keeping around. The only issue I have had is finding extra magazines that are reliable.
Mine is a CZ83 in 9x18 Makarov with square trigger guard, i bought it new in 2011
Love my 82. 9x18 mak is one of my favs
Picked up a Model 83 in .380, at an auction in NY, for less than $100! Hell of a little shooter.....
Have both, a CZ82 and a CZ83. Its not too hard to find these as gunsmith specials with damaged/bulged barrels for $150-200. Replacing the barrel isnt too difficult if you have a break press. Btw-9x18mm brass can be prepared by cutting down 9x19 fired brass to .700 OAL and resizing with 9x18mm loading dies, but make sure you use proper .363 diameter bullets for 9x18
Repaired one that had a squib backup. The bulged barrel pressed the recoil spring into the inside of the slide. Slide couldnt be removed, and had to cut the thing up. While doing a rebuild from a stripped doner, I noticed that the cz82 had some variations over time, which considering its service time I thought was a bit surprising. So parts between the one I was fixing and the doner weren't exactly 1:1, had to buy a few parts from cz directly, which I was impressed still sold parts commercially for the 82 =) 9x18 really is a different animal in the hand vs 380. I think the p64 is the most aggressive handgun I've had the displeasure of shooting. Wolff helps a lot.
Both are 😍😍😍, thanks for info
I carry my Makarov quite a bit. You can shoot it without ear protection, low muzzle flash. Perfect if you have to shoot inside a house or car.
I wonder if the increased felt recoil of the 82 is due to a worn out recoil spring. I always thought mine snapped much harder in the hand than it should, so I did a little research. Sure enough, that’s a pretty common thing with these surplus guns with unknown histories. I put a slightly heavier Wolf spring in and, wow, surprising difference.
I am so glad I got the "surplus bug" and got a C&R License. I bought two CZ82s along with a Polish P-64, a 1895 Nagant and a CZ52. Oh, and a new condition Yugo M48. All excellent guns but the CZ82s are the best.
maybe the 82 needs a new recoil spring, when i replaced the recoil spring with new one in my 83,felt recoil was reduced
Now yer talking Sootch. I love my CZ's 24, 50, 52, 83, 75 pre B, and RAMI . Throw in a 457 Lux .22 WMR for longer range 🤣. Love Love Love CZ👍🇺🇸
I always wanted one great classics
I have the rami in 40 cal and I love mine
I’ve all three and they are great fun 😎 The 82 won’t feed JHP. Also have an 81 in .32 ACP
It really just comes down to which one you can get the ammo for
.380 is outrageously expensive nowadays!

The pin that holds down the extractor on the 83 has a tendency to pop up and there goes your extractor. Fifty bucks to buy a new one.
I want one . Is hollow point ammo available in 9 X 18 ? Liking the music .
Nice music too.
15:17 had a round fire out of battery hitting that lug on the left side. Friend was holding the slide to let it go home, instead of just releasing the slide stop... and somehow the round go pinned between the lug and the slide. Boom. Shrapnel everywhere and everyone was deaf for a few minutes. Definitely a freak accident, but never held the slide after that point.
When you say "lug", do you mean the ejector?
@@drmitofit2673 Ejects to the right. This model has a protruding metal bar on the left side inside of the slide attached to the frame.
Ha! For once you can’t convince me to buy something! Because I already did several years ago... Now if only I can find more ammo for it?
I would add a .380 to the collection. Thanks for the review.
There is a used CZ 82 for sale locally. Finish looks very good in the photos. Are there any deal breaker faults I should look for in this gun such as bore corrosion or weak parts or function checks?
I have a CZ 82 and shot it a few times several years ago when ammo was cheap, the other day I was looking at it and noticed the hammer does not sit on the firing pin like other semi pistols I own , I dry fired it a few times looking at the hammer and it never seems to hit the firing pin , I was wondering how it would strike the primers of a bullet , the pistol worked perfectly when I fired it several years ago and was thinking ,was it always like that and I just never noticed,?
Sootch double Ought! 👍
Thanks for putting up a recent video on this platform. Just a heads up, there are mags to be had for the .380/9x18 makarov, however, they may not be actual factory mags. they "work", they say "mfg CZ" on the baseplate but they are not from CZ. They have a seam on the back and front that looks like a bead weld sorta. Either way, they will fit and will function, but I'd only use them for plinking, or range practice, I wouldn't carry them. If you can still find the factory mags out there, get them. Unfortunately, CZ discontinued the gun for here, as well as the mags, and although there are a lot of 83/82s out there, they haven't continued importing the mags to the US from europe. Also, you'll probably not find the .32 caliber mags AT ALL, and if you do, they will probably be to high of a price.
A lot of complaints about the after market mags. Real deal available from Apex gun parts, about $40 per.
I love my CZ-83. So accurate.
Should have shown your cz50 with the Walther PP
I want to see sootch00 and Brandon Herrera do a video together.
