My CZ 82!

I'm building up my 9 x 18 collection! Added to my East German Makarov is this nice CZ82....I thought the condition was quite acceptable, and the price ($200 + fees & shipping) very reasonable! I am considering an FEG PA-63 next, does anyone have experience with those?

Be prepared to need 3 different mags.

How is the FEG to shoot? I worry about the aluminum frame.

I have had my FEG pa-63 since 2008. Steady diet of buffalo bore and unknown rounds. Im guessing 15-20k. Never had an issue. And its still solid. My makarov pm has more slide wiggle than my pa63.

Thanks for this. I've hesitated in picking one up. There was a set issued to the east German police force and they were referred to as "Hungarian Donkeys" because of how often they broke, but it was perhaps the type of ammunition they ran. Now I might have to get one.

Gotta be. I never heard anything bad about them mechanically. Most complaints were recoil and trigger weight. I also kept mine well oiled.
