Anybody ccw a CZ82/83?

CZ83 or something else

I sometimes carry my CZ83, it is a good gun. Usually though, I carry the XD9SC. It's about the same size and weight and is a bit more potent. I don't worry that a .380 is underpowered however, twelve holes should be fairly effective if need be. I use a Bianchi IWB; I can't remember the model but it is size 10.

The thing i've noticed about my body is that it does not like square guns like the Glock 26. Even though the CZ83 has a grip/handle which is probably thicker than the Glock 26, it is rounded and very smooth. It gives a bit as I move if i'm carrying IWB. Also, the barrel part is pretty thin and it goes into a
smaller area, easier. For me it's easy to carry IWB. The little Glock isn't. However, a bit larger fellow may find the Glock supremely comfortable. It IS a bigger cartridge and is a fine reliable shooter.

My favorite 2 carry guns are my S&W 642 and the LCP. LCP is super easy to carry in pocket. I hate shooting it (recoil is worse than the 642) but if I needed it recoil would be the last thing on my mind.

However, my CZ83 has a manual safety which is super easy to swipe and will then fire in SA mode like the Glock. It's super easy to shoot due to it's incredible trigger. As someone said somewhere, almost NO one gets a trigger job on a CZ83.

I could carry my CZ 82 on the ankle or shoulder holster, great gun and super accurate. It is a bit wide with the ambidextrous thoumb rests and the saftey, so I bought a PA-63 and ordered flat grips for CCW. Same caliber, 7 oz lighter, thinner, new springs and it shoots good. Even though it bites a bit it shouldn't matter since a CCW you hope will never be used or if so, maybe once in your life so a little thumb bite won't kill

CZ82 in a Crossbreed Supertuck held up by a "The Beltman" 1.5" horsehide belt and I can forget I'm wearing it. But, all my poor choice holsters feel better when they are hanging on a quality belt. That's a bad place to go cheap, you''ll be sorry forever.

Hi all, new to the boards here and i really appreciate the information found here. I carry a CZ82 in a Blackhawk IWB and love it. It has a good feel and is very accurate. For a while there I thought I was the only one using it as a ccw, good to know I am not alone.

CZ83

My CZ 83 in .380 is a tack driver. Got it last Thanksgiving and have been continually impressed with the gun in all aspects. It has also been flawless in function with all types of ammo. Midway has extra high-cap mags for $39.49 http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...tNumber=126691 .

Had a little trouble finding a high rise pan-cake style holster - Allen's made a custom leather one for me, Carrying and concealing is also easy. They can be reached at.

Got a link for that Midway extra-cap mag, that works?

 

[PRM]

Sounds like you have had problems? I would send them back - Midway has always stood behind whatever I bought from them. I ordered three of the high cap mags last Thanksgiving, and what I received were CZ magazines, brand new in the blister packs. All of mine have worked flawlessly.

 

[JeepGeeek]

no-

do you have a link, that works, for that mag.

Absolutely no problems with Midway.

If it does not get you there - go to their web site and follow the links, magazines - by make - CZ - CZ83

Uh isn't that the mag that was originally issued with the firearm, cz-82, and not the reduced capacity Socialist Republik of Kali mag?

Also J&G has the 9 mak mags for less, they work with 380 too, but you may need to adjust the feed lips.

seems like Mozambiquing a BG would be a real good way to find yourself in a heap of trouble. Nevermind that he started it, was a foot taller than you, and had a sawed-off shotgun in his hand he was raising in your direction, while coked out of his mind and shouting his intent to kill you, burn your wife, rape your children and eat your dog.

As soon as the DA finds out that you shot him in the head, their next words will be "execution-style murder". And you are deeply fornicated.

" 'Cause the first 2 shots didn't stop him; he kept coming. Like they just pissed him off or something. I was afraid for my life and the lives of my family", should be a pretty good answer. And if the 3rd shot is quick enough, it will always be true.

HOLY THREAD NECROMANCY
um you raised thread that has been raised 3 times before, didn't you read the dead thread message before posting.

 

[zxcvbob]

Yeah I did. I found this thread using a search before I started another one just like it. I just took the NRA's "Personal Protection in the Home" class yesterday, using my CZ82 that I really hadn't shot much until now. They mostly had us shooting double-taps to COM. (I think what I was shooting technically was a "hammer" rather than a double-tap because I fired the second shot without aiming as soon as the gun came back down.) Last 2 shots on the qualifying target were to the head. Dotting the eyes, so to speak

I was amazed at how easily and quickly the gun shot paper plate sized groups. This may be my carry-gun after all if I can find a lefty holster for it.

I've carried my cz-82 a good bit. With a decent holster, it's not hard to hide under a t-shirt.

 

[PabloJ]

Experiences? Opinions? I've got 4 CZ pistols, but none are suitable for ccw. Okay, the cz50 is, but 9x18 is a great round.

You have four CZ pistols which means at least two of them are useless and can be sold or traded. Why eat corn flakes when one can have genuine swiss muesli?
What I'm saying is QUALITY over quantity. What will happen to value of say CZ82 or Makarov when we might have to pay gun registration fees and there will be no ammo buying through mail?

I buy 9Mak from my local dealer....He keeps it stocked and has very good prices.

Oh, me . . .

The thread was okay in the beginning, but wasn't worth reviving the first time.
