Looks to be in fair condition. I really like mine. Comfortable to shoot, nice trigger, and accurate.
I see you got a mag with the milled plate. I like the way those look better than the stamped.
Peace favor your sword,

Re: My new (to me) Vz. 82
It looks to have been carried a lot and shot very little. The holster wear gives it a bit of character though. The bore sort of scared me when I first looked at it, although my understanding is that they all look like that. Seems reasonably accurate, although it groups quite a bit to the left at 25 yards. The recoil was a little snappier than I expected for such a comparatively heavy gun (at least compared to a P-64). Overall I’m happy with my first C&R purchase, although I’ll definitely need to drift those sights over a tad.
And yes, the trigger is quite nice

Nice score. I suggest you first bench rest at 21' before moving the rear sight. Factory sights placement on the "Commie" guns seem to be right on.
BTW, is that a left hand magazine release??

Re: My new (to me) Vz. 82
gwbiker, the CZ-82 handguns were made ambidextrous. You can eject the magazine from both left and right hand. The safety is also ambi. The hammer is also ambidextrous . The bores on these are interesting, looks like you're looking down a shotgun bore. I enjoy shooting mine, it's a hoot! Mine came with a milled and a stamped magazine. Both of them are fine, haven't had a problem with either of 'em. I shoot right handed but I find it's easier to eject the magazine with my trigger finger rather than trying to reach my thumb to the eject button.

Juniustaylor is correct...the Vz. 82 does indeed have an ambidextrous magazine relase. Just one of several unique features to this particular model.
At 10 yards offhand, this little guy hits everything I aim at. Still, it's not quite on target at 25 yards, unlike my two P-64's, my PA-63, my P-83, or my Makarov. The rear sight just needs a love tap or two.
