a friend of mine had one a while back that I was able to shoot a few times. I made a trade this weekend and got a cz 82 in the deal for my wife. I forgot what a fun little gun it is to shoot and how accurate it really is. a great buy for the money invested. $229 currently if you buy one.
I am sure others here that have had training understand " tap rack ready" for a weapons malfunction. if not .. when your pistol doesnt fire the first thing you check is wether the magazine is seated properly "tap" the mag with the palm/heal of your support hand. I noticed that the magazine on the cz doesnt offer much "tap" area. the floor plate is too thin and not very wide. after looking through my parts box I found some beat up Beretta 92fs mags. the floor plates from the Bretta mags replace the thin cz part great. Mag still seats perfectly and the Beretta floor plate offers no miss tapping! one less possible oops in a stressfull situation if your using the cz for defense. it should also make spare mags ( you do carry spares right? lol ) easier to grab from where ever you have them tucked in.
when I dissasembled the cz for a good once over before the wife or myself shot it the slide catch spring fell out. It looks like a shepards hook. one end goes in the slide catch the hook over a bar in the frame. I quickly realized that someone had installed it upside down so it was loose. After fighting it with a flat head screwdriver for a few minutes I was frustrated because it kept slidding off the screwdriver when I would try to push it in place. I switched out to a small flat file and popped it right in. so if you run into that problem use a file so it wont let the spring slide when your pushing it onto the bar.
as an aside. the wife shot over 300 rounds through it yesterday with no malfunctions and she had a blast. my kids had just as much fun and they all goot some good training in. now I guess I will be picking up 2 more for my teenage kids to shoot. glad they are only 229 bux!
anyone else have some tips or improvements they have done to their cz82 ?
