Bought one earlier this year from J&G sales for about 300 (mine has a serial within a thousand of yours, so they may even have been from the same production lot), and it's quickly become a top 10 favorite gun of mine. Put a couple hundred rounds through it so far and been loving it. If I were a Combloc officer this would probably be one the best sidearms to get (besides a Yugo M57 with an aftermarket safety). Only complaint is it's a pain to deal with double action-they dropped the decocker during prototyping and there's no half-cock, plus there's mixed reports about them not always being drop safe so I'm hesitant to carry one, but even that's pretty minor.

I don’t know what AIM was smoking when they graded them as X grade. I just did a video on my X grade and it’s in great shape! My understanding is the reason they’re C&R is that it was the first mass produced gun with a polygonal barrel. Not because they’re from Czechoslovakia. But I could be wrong. Love your videos!

The CZ, VZ 82 is C&R because some hero petitioned the ATF to have it put on the list as it comes from Czechoslovakia, a country that no longer exists and therefore has significant historical value. Love these little guys and the X-grades were a steal.

Jumped on the opportunity from Aim to snag a cz82 to add to my milsurp collection. My first cz and first x-grade from Aim. The pistol was in great shape other than the cosmetics. Given the abundance of chipped paint I opted to strip it and cold blue ( no haters it's not that rare ). A bit of polishing on the grips and she looks like new. Not bad for a piece of history at a price not too often seen today.

I got a beat up one as my first C&R license purchase in 2011. I was unhappy with all the chipped paint so I stripped the slide and painted it with gloss black engine enamel and baked it on. It nearly perfectly replicated the original finish and has held up well for all that time. I actually carried it for a couple years as my concealed carry weapon since I couldn't afford anything else at the time. They are heavy by modern standards but easy to conceal and good capacity. I carried Buffalo Bore hard cast in it. Im more of a milsurp purist these days and don't like refinishing something unless it's totally thrashed with rust or something, but at least the CZ turned out well. These are great guns and built like tanks. I collect 9x18 guns and the CZ82 is my favorite as far as shooting and capacity goes. The East German Makarov is the most well made of all the ones I own. I believe the fact that these were the first handguns that had ambi mag release and safety is one reason they were granted C&R status as well.

As I recall reading, the black finish is paint and they were not blued. Mine looks like paint where there is some wear and the metal finish shown through. I did a basement bluing from a bottle on that spot and it darkened it up. Great gun , great historical piece, and military grade. 1985 issue.

That's really what a 9x18 is. It performs about where a 380+p . A lot of people see the 17-18-19 and think it would be a happy middle ground, but 9x19 is significantly more.

you'd be surprised theres still millions of rounds for it floating around. the issue is its only found in lots of several thousand rounds at a time and almost nobody breaks it down for sale in individual boxes so people say its "hard to find". only hard to find if you don't have the extra couple grand on hand every time you want to restock on ammo.

C&R means nothing in Michigan, at least as far as pistols go. They still have to go through 4473. They can be shipped to a C&R holder as Federal law allows. But once he takes possession he pistol is now illegal to possess. It still needs to be booked though C&R. Paperwork nightmare. And they are about to change the long gun law now.
