Just got my C&R FFL a couple of months ago. My first purchase was a CZ-82 9x18. Took it apart and made sure everything was kosher and went straight to the range. The first 2 rounds hit about 5 inches low and center. Then after looking further I discovered that the site paint had worn off and the sites needed to align where the paint would be normally. Fortunately I had some paint with me so I just used a twisted peice of paper towel to apply the paint. Every shot hit center after that and what a comfortable little pocket shooter it was. One of the best $200.00 I have spent in a long time. And, the ammo is still readily available and the price isn't bad either.

Re: CZ-82 9x18
Wed, October 28, 2009 - 12:12 PMPin breaking is largely a thing of older guns. They made the pin very hard and subsequently it cracked when slammed against the hard metal in the dry gun.
Today this is pretty much a non event. Metallurgy has come a long way baby. -

Re: CZ-82 9x18
Wed, October 28, 2009 - 8:38 PMcertain series of CZ pistols are well known for breaking the firing pin, i just don't remember which models. i read it when these surplus pistols began appearing on the market post Berlin wall. they were originally manufactured for the Czech army but quickly taken out of service due to this flaw. there are probably still a lot of them lurking around, just waiting to piss someone off. . . -

Re: CZ-82 9x18
Mon, November 9, 2009 - 7:22 AMSo far the firing pin is holding up fine. At this point it's seen somewhere around 1000 rounds. A few dry fires etc. I'm abusing it on purpose because I am thinking about buying a few of these and I want to make sure that they can handle abuse and are worth it. So far I'm looking at going through with that purchase. Also, after taking it apart a few times already, a firing pin would be a simple fix so I'm okay with that. Perhaps there may even be an aftermarket firing pin assembly out there that won't break. I'll have to take a look.
