CZ vs CZ
« on: April 29, 2012, 11:33:19 AM »
I have a surplus police CZ-82, in the original 9mm Makarov. I also have a chance to acquire a CZ-83 in .380. I don't really need both.

Ammo isn't really a factor, and I also have a Makarov, as well as some other guns in .380.

What would you do? Swap, or keep?

Normally I'd say skip it, but somehow I doubt the 83 is going to break your bank.  If the price is right, go for it.

If you can afford it, get it. If nothing else, you have spare parts for the other....

I just ordered a CZ-83 this weekend.  I don't have anything in 9X18 so I was always reluctant to take that plunge.  I kind of thought this was a good way to try it out without a new caliber.

They are a fun little pistol. I hear they don't stand up well to IPSC-level round counts, but I don't shoot mine nearly that much.
