CZ82 - First C&R Purchase

[chromedragon70]

Well, I received my first C&R bought with my 03 FFL. Had to go pick it up on English Muffin Way in Frederick as I missed the BBTOH two days running due to work! I bought it from Century International Arms, $275 ish. They still have them in stock.

Looks great to me, no major wear and mechanically functions well. I have to clean it up and get some ammo to try her out.

After seeing the wood grips listed in this forum, I think I am going to get a pair. I still am not sure if I want to refinish or not.

Nice!

Wood grips make any pistol better. It's a scientific fact backed up by research by scientists and stuff.

Love CZ-82's they made nice shooters, your slide looks like the black has been stripped off ????

Wood is good

@TexasBob - nope. The black is solid, with just minor wear on the right front corner. I think this gun is so purdy that I'll keep her black.

Your finish looks really good I would leave it alone. Grips do look kinda rough.

May just be the pictures, but something about that black slide looks refinished to me. Still, I'd definitely go for some wood grips, but I don't think I'd refinish. It looks fairly good the way it is. Plus, if you've ever torn one of those down to the frame and put it back together, you'd think twice about refinishing. It's not for the faint of heart...

Glad to see a handgun from Century. With all the talk that they won't ship to MD anymore, I was getting worried. I've never had a problem, but I hear many have...

Here she is with some new clothes. Not the best photos, but what do you expect from a cell phone in dim light?
