I just got a CZ 82 pistol to replace the ones I used to own but had to sell in a horrible fit of “brokeness”! I’ve always loved this design due to it’s superior ergonomics and shootability. Chambered in 9mm Makarov, this pistol packs 12 rounds in the magazine. It has an ambidextrous magazine release and safety, and a chrome lined bore with polygonal rifling.

Several ammo makers produce modern defensive loads in 9×18, so this military surplus pistol remains a viable choice for concealed carry.
