I'm having an issue!
I am a realitively new CZ-75 owner. I have not decided yet, but I may not be able to carry this gun at all, even though I love shooting it. I feel like the size, weight, and length are prohibitive.
The weight isnt such a big deal; its a negative, but it doesnt break the deal. The problem is the overall size of the gun, especialy the length and width of the grip. The base of the grip alwas protrudes and makes a ridiculous little "tent" in my shirt.
I am going to experiment with a better belt and holster, but the best I am hoping for at this point is to make it a "sometimes" gun, especialy when I can justify wearing a jacket that I wont have to take off indoors.
So I am looking for more of an all the time carry gun. I know I could pocket carry a Kel-tec or a j-frame, etc, but those choices are uninspiring to me. I really like the idea, looks and especialy price of the CZ-82's everyone is selling for $200.
I am wondering though, how much smaller than the CZ75 is the CZ82, really? It appears that the grip width is the same on both guns. However, the dimension specs are hard for me to imagine in my head. Anyone who owns both these guns, what do you think? Is the CZ82 significantly smaller? And I know this is subjective and maybe impossible to answer, but do you have a feeling it is smaller enough to make a different to me?
