[murderfase82]

I Got One durakoted Green on Tan... My new Favorite Pistol. Going to use it for concealed carry.

[N0rthsideDonutz]

Great informative vid - I was on the fence between this and a P64 and I'm sure want this now.

[NAV195]

Can you transfer one to a ffl for me in ca thanks !

[Gwurlitzer]

Thanks for the inforomative videos. I have a P-64 but I think I'd like a CZ 82 better. The P-64 shoots well but I don't like the grips. Aimsurplus is out of stock and I've heard that JG sales tend to over rate their guns condition. Can you reccomend any sources to aquire one of these? I'v called most local shops and they have none. Thanks in advance.

[blooddonor70]

@Gwurlitzer j&g really only overestimates their finish. Get one and Durakote it, you won't regret it.

[smarti1630]

hi is it california legal

[choopdewoot]

was thinking about getting this. saw it at a gunstore fell in love with it. how often can you find these?

[Tailspin07]

You spelled Czechoslovakian wrong, but great video. I hope to pick one of these up soon!

[SpyderTime]

Excellent video, I agree 100%. I really like my CZ-82 even though I am a Glock guy.

[eric21881]

lookin at trading a guitar for one of these soon. i may have to do so...

[troopcom]

Good Video, very informative. I just bought one yesterday and I'm glad I did!

[bolial]

This is still in my opinion the very best gun review on youtube I have seen yet. Great work!!!

[148scalemodeling]

@Chrstnman thats what my stepbrother is pulling he failed 8 out of 9 classes so he doesnt get a pistol for christmas as he was planning. No one will be missing the abscence of a hi point c9 i assume anyways...

[148scalemodeling]

@Chrstnman its what santa is bringing me! haha

[148scalemodeling]

I come to watch this video atleast twice a day. I hate waiting haha

[BlueNeon81]

CZ 82 was used by czechoslovakian policemen and it is still in use by slovakian police. Very good gun.

[masterofnotmuch]

have to find one my grandfather traded his for a makarov we both liked the cz better hehe

[148scalemodeling]

what are a few reasons i could tell my father to get him to buy one?

[Delticola]

@148scalemodeling It's very well made, it's small, it's powerful for it's size, it's compact, it holds 12 or 13 rounds in the magazine, it's relatively inexpensive used if you can find it, it's collectible, it's reliable, it shoots well and accurately, it is unique in it's design (polygonal barrel). I could go on and on. Tell him he's not a real man unless he gets a CZ82 to add to the collection. u can always give him the money from your allowance and tell him to buy now for your 21st.

[148scalemodeling]

@Delticola Got him hooked for an 82 for christmas. God damnit the next months will be torture and i plan on getting a ccw so ill have one

[Delticola]

@148scalemodeling I'm going to go ahead and let you know a secret, I'm going to post the secret right here right now. CDNN SPORTS, they have an on line catalog. You can get this gun right now for $189 in good to very good condition. And you can get another mag for $29.00. They just sold out of all of the $169.00 average to good guns. So they might sell out fast on the $189.00. But like they said, they have the cheapest price in this country right now. So there you have it, order some.

[148scalemodeling]

@Delticola Thanks dude really appreciate it. Ill sub you.

[Delticola]

Respond to this video... Really this is the best kept secret in hand guns in the United States. This little gun is incredible. Amazing. Everyone needs one in every room of the house for the moment when Pop Goes The Weasel cause the Weasel goes pop. $189 all day long and they got more. Where you might ask?

[missouritargetslayer]

I want to thank you for all the info. I purchased a Nagant Pistol knowing confidently that I can shoot for many years to come. Based on your information. I also want to thank you for incouraging me to get my C&R FFL. It has opened up a whole new window in acquiring weapons.

[coheedatreyu]

great video...very informative!! thumbs up!

[partsproduction]

Painted! No offense but that is a deal breaker for me. I may look into a CZ-83 and Reshape and reblue the ugly trigger guard. I saw a CZ-82 at a show and thought "What a cheesy looking gun!", looking back it had to be the paint. 9MM Mak vs .380 is another quandary for me, but realistically .380 is so much more common that it will be chosen, even though I reload with a progressive. One idea is remove the paint and blue it, much cheaper.

[runhorun]

@partsproduction I get a gun not because of the finish but the functionality of the weapon. Hence, a rough finish means a lower price. Looks of a gun will not mean you can shoot it better. I can buy many handguns and refinish them to new standards and you will not be able to tell the difference. You like a nice finish and newer looking gun. I get the rougher finish and get less it at a lesser price. Plus, I finish it off with new professional coat and It cost less than buying "new"all together.

[partsproduction]

@runhorun I understand, to me a phosphate finish looks much better than paint and even an amateur can park a gun. I'm different in that all my guns have to look nice. If one is talking only about a carry gun, well, I carry a KelTec, plastic, and ugly as sin and I don't care, it's functional and if an overzealous cop who forgot his oath to the Constitution takes it, or if a truck runs over it, no big loss. The other 50 + handguns I own are nice looking, if stolen or scratched would bother me.

[runhorun]

@partsproduction I am like that sometimes, too. 

[thehairyblueberry]

My dad has one and he says the spring was broken but it dosent have any probs to me

[marleystoner]

how much do these usually run for jw

[Arcaenon]

@marleystoner $220-280, depending on the desired quality

[451mnu]

Thanks for this great video. Are you affiliated with Widener's Reloading & Shooting Supply Inc who is one of the two online sellers of CZ-82's and Walther P38's ?

[MisterSoul99]

Well done vid, I posted one as well but covered it from a different angle.

Nice detailed job.

[sovietsks45]

do you recomend this over the 1895 nagant i usually do plinking and i like to collect russian guns

[ImWatchinTheTube]

Can you carry with hammer down safety on? Or just cocked and locked?

[Jigssaw1989]

@ImWatchinTheTube

no. Either cocked and locked , or hammer down and safety off.

[Mistraker]

Just ordered a CZ-82, great looking little guns. On an unconnected note, did anyone ever tell you that you sound like Gomez Addams?

[bobiscool308]

is 9x18mm the same thing as .380

[AnimeFanatic5602]

@bobiscool308 No, the .380 is 9x17mm. The two are in no way interchangeable.

[StopMoColorado]

@bobiscool308 The Makarov cartridge is just about right in between .380 and 9mm (a little closer to 9mm). .380 is a little smaller in diameter, and a little shorter. The 9 x 18mm round is the same diameter, but a little shorter. You can reload with trimmed-down 9mm cases (a lot easier to find than Makarov cases).

[nbanolfkid]

Good review, thanks. But would not wiping down the rear sights with charcoal fluid after you put the 2 white sight dots on it just smear them or wipe them off too?

[nbanolfkid]

Good job! Thanks for the video.

[mikethebassguy]

Excellent review on an excellent pistol. The onlything you forgot to mention is that with the exception of the slide release the weapon is completely ampidextrous and the safety only works like a 1911 (cocked and locked)

The only advice for owners or potential buyers, is make sure you clean the weapon every other time (if not every time) you take it to the range. It tends to get rather dirty quickly and function tends to suffer. Clean it and your golden though.

[skitzofosho]

@mikethebassguy he did say it was ambidextrious..... 50 seconds into the video :P

[mikethebassguy]

@skitzofosho I stand corrected!

[zebre10]

Very informative video, thanks for posting. I'll be ordering a pair of them after seeing this!

[tomterahedrob]

could you shoot really soft cast lead bullets in it without leading because of the polygonnal rifling?

[mgummy91]

Very Nice Gun, im looking at the CZ 83 at the moment

[HERRSPINST]

Benjamin, Very professional and thorough review. I own and frequently shoot two CZ82s. You covered this weapon's features well -- recommend getting these to "new" shooters for price, ease of maintenance, accuracy, and relative low cost ammo. I've completely stripped down and rebuilt one of mine; not too easy but not rocket science either. This is truly a "best kept secret" and I've seen like new, with holster and 2-mags sell for $190 - $230 US range -- well worth it.

[mwcharger]

great vid, very straight forward. just a word on polyagonal rifling: glock, some sigs, H&K, the desert eagle, some berettas, and springfield xd (with exception to the xdm) all use polyaganol rifling

[1000meterstare]

This gun is the best kept secret in the biz. No one where I live knows how accurate they are (doesn't know about them in general). My buddy has won many a pistol shoot with his. It's like taking a porsche to race a rambler...

[OfcJimLahey]

I bought one of these about a year ago, great accuracy, low maintenance, I love it for what it is.

[FergusonTO35]

Great pistol, CZ makes outstanding stuff. The only thing I don't like is that you can't use lead bullets in polygonal rifling. I shoot mostly lead through all my guns.

[tomterahedrob]

@FergusonTO35 why?seems to me  polygonnal would mean less lead fouling.

[FergusonTO35]

@tomterahedrob I don't know, thats what it would seem like. I think it has to do with the fact that poly rifling extrudes the bullet rather than cutting grooves in it. Perhaps really hard lead bullets would work. Knowledgeable people have told me that when you shoot lead through a poly barrel the fouling builds up quickly and rapidly raises pressures. I don't have pressure testing equipment so its a risk I can't take.

[stealthyshooter]

Love that little gun.

Kind of a makarov copy by CZ/Browning

[MarshalZhukov]

Great vid! Very affordable for the quality! Polygonal rifling is very accurate in this model. Glock, H&K, and I thought Magnum Research had some polygonal rifling model pistols too. The finish was chipped on mine, so I stripped it off. It's in the white and looks good. But unfortunately the slide release spring broke when I took it apart. n00b mistake. If you do a detailed strip of the pistol, that spring will shear off if the slide stop is forced :( But you probably already knew that. Great vid
