From what I understand from the P 64 owners is that, the Polish P 64 has a very heavy hammer spring and there were primer punctures with Wolf ammo that burned off the tip of the firing pin and extractor rendering the pistol useless as a paper weight. Factor in no replacement parts, until just recently on Gun Broker, and it was prudent to stick with the other Russian ammo makers.What's wrong with wolf? My cz-82 has seen a ton of wolf without complaint

My only 9x18 pistols are a cz-82, a makarov, and a pa-63, so I guess I'm safe Thanks for the info though.

What they all said. This little gem is my first (and only) 9x18.
Shockingly accurate with the Brown Bear stuff.
$225 shipped to my FFL, along with 2 mags and a SIG 225(!) shoulder holster.
My first experience with a CZ, and probably won't be the last.

Ok DonRon, now that You don't think I'm an idiot (and I would really love to get some vz 82 ammo, damn politicians)
Where did you get the grips?
I know Marshels does great things, but warns about the wood (he tries, but it's pretty bad when the custom grip guy says, yeah these will spit here cause it's too thin)

I acquired the VZ 82 some years ago for $50.00. The hand carved ivory grips came from India I believe, or so the guy said that sold to me for $200.00 bucks he owed me for some work I did on his 1911. I just refinished the 82 as a labor of love and to be able to use those grips. It kinda turned out nice. It is a sweet shooting pistol. My son has been hounding me for it and I just might give in and let him have it. He has most of my collection already like my matched K38 and K22 6 inch target revolvers and most of my 1911's.

Man, I must have pissed off someone at AIM before I ordered, or there quality control sucks. I'm only posting a pic of the holster I received with my worn pistol to make a point. Earlier today I saw a post on another forum showing a like new pistol and a like new, or new, holster that someone received from AIM on the 21st of October.

he hand picks out of someones imports, you pay for it, but from his reviews over on surplus rifle forum, it's worth the extra (like $10 or 20 compared to others 'handpicked')

Warner what did you pay if you do not mind me asking.

Including shipping and the FFL transfer fee, I got the pistol, 2 magazines, and the holster in the photos for $300 even. I think it's a bargain considering the quality and condition of the pistol. The pistol is very accurate, reliable, and really just "feels" right.

I think todd has most listed in the 220-260 ish range, add in 30 for shipping and 20 for transfer...

That's really not bad if you're guaranteed to get one in that condition. My cz-82 is in that condition and came from classicarms, but I just got lucky there. Also, with shipping and transfer fee, I doubt I paid much less than you anyway.
That's the holster that came with it, btw? They usually come with leather duty holsters.

Yeah, I figured the few extra bucks that Todd charges was worth it to have a "man on the ground" that hand picked a nice gun. It's a service that he provides and to me it was well worth it. As far as the holster, I asked him which types he had for the CZ82 and decided to get the one I got. The leather ones are nice and all, but a little clunky. Since I live in the Republic of Illinois, it doesn't much matter which (or ANY) holster I got. Hehe....

Can you even have high cap mags in illinois? Or do you have the 10rd mags?
Warners

Yeah, the mags are fine. I think only California bans them.....I'm not sure. But they are fine in IL. Just no carrying....UNLESS you have the time, patience, money, and desire to fight your way through the courts regarding the "fanny pack carry" that so far has proven to be technically legal here. Or at least in the few cases that made it to court, the state dropped the charges because they didn't want it to play out in IL supreme court and set precedence. Hopefully someday we'll actually have well-documented and understood legal carry options. I would likely carry the CZ82 if that were to happen.Can you even have high cap mags in illinois?

More than Cali bans high cap mags. New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Hawaii, etc. I'm actually surprised that the People's Republik of Illinois is not on that list
I hope that someday you're given legal carry options as well.
If you are able to carry there someday, or move to a free state, I can report that you'll like carrying the cz-82 (but be sure to get a real gun belt). It hides pretty well.Shadow 7D

She's a little clunky
BUT
the size and weigh make it a damn accurate and pleasant pistol to shoot, and it's just the grip as the slide is really narrow.

Mine came with the holster and mag case also. They're CZ all right, but are for the 75. They will make future barter material. The finish is great though. One thing about the pistol though, when firing Silver Bear ammo, it flashes and sparks as bad as my 1851 Colt blackpowder. Accurate though.
Weapons purchase from Centerfire??
This is my dilema, I want another 9mm pistol, I've look at high and at low end 9mm's. Just happens Centerfire sends me a what's on sale booklet. I'm looking at a CZ82@$219.99 and a Bulagarian Makarov@$259.99. I'm not sure what the mag capacity is on the Makarov. Which is the better choice of the two pistols and will they shoot 9x18+P HP ammo? I have a Norinco Tokerev already and big stash of ball ammo. I also want a Romanian AK Draco Pistol. I've looked at Glocks and I just can't afford the Draco if I purchased a Glock 19. Haven't purchased a weapon from Centerfire, what can I expect from them? Thanks in advance!

The Mak carries 8 in the magazine. I prefer the Makarov because it's simple to dissassemble and put back together. The CZ-82 is not. The CZ feels better in the hand but it's slightly larger. Both are accurate.
There is no"+P" ammo in 9x18. MFS labeled one of their offerings "+P" as a marketing ploy but it's not. Buffalo Bore recently issued ammunition they describe as "+P" but it's standard pressure. Because they get what they consider +P velocities and higher performance in a heavier bullet than standard 9x18 they figured that alerting people to the fact was a good thing to do. That will fire fine in either the CZ or Mak.
