- Case
Built for service use, the CZ 82 employs a fixed-barrel, straight-blowback action in 9x18mm Makarov. Its DA/SA trigger and frame-mounted manual safety support both traditional double-action starts and cocked-and-locked carry. The design includes ambidextrous controls throughout, including the safety and a recessed button-style magazine release, and a lanyard ring at the butt.
The 3.8-inch barrel is chrome-plated and features polygonal rifling. The fixed-barrel layout, combined with the chrome-plated bore, is characteristic of the vz. 82 pattern and is paired with a compact steel frame finished in black enamel/polycoat.
The slide is finished in black with rear vertical serrations and a longitudinal anti-glare rib. Sights are fixed, with a low blade front and a square-notch rear. A spurred hammer and black checkered polymer grip panels round out the controls and handling features.
Markings include "C.A.I. GEORGIA, VT," "MADE IN CZECH REPUBLIC," the "she 90" factory code indicating 1990 production, plus additional stampings such as a circular T and a crossed-swords-style mark. This pistol is the commercial CZ 82 designation of the Czech vz. 82 service sidearm and retains its military-style configuration.
