Yeah… that’s what I ended up doing eventually. Worked great!

Birchwood Casey BPPF Super Black Touch-Up Pen (Flat). Did a fine job of hiding the import stamp damage on mine.

Well these suckers are looking more and more attractive. The only thing holding me back is price/availability of ammo (and waiting for my C&R approval).

I’m sure that’s how I’d carry a DA/SA, too. Can you recommend a good IWB holster for this gun?

Thanks.

It’s definitely smaller than a HiPoint 9mm. I would imagine lighter as well. It’s easy to conceal. Only drawback is it has no manual decock lever. If you carry cocked and locked, you need to be in good solid walled holster. No Uncle Mike’s crap. Also be advised that the ambidextrous safety on the CZ-82 can get flipped off by something rubbing the pistol on it’s exposed side. I tend to carry with the hammer down, but be careful dropping the hammer on your own.

Thanks. If you’ve handled a Hi-Point C-9, can you say whether the CZ-82 feels/is smaller or easier to conceal? I’ve got the C-9 right now, and I’d like something with better quality (and cheap) and C&R is always a plus. And for me the C-9 is at the absolute top limit of size as far as concealing.

It is. It’s heavy though.

Can you speak to whether the CZ-82 is concealable? I’ve just applied for my CPL and am looking…

Thanks for the update my friend.

You’re not the only one that doesn’t always think about us lefties. Many manufacturers eliminate 13% of their potential market out of hand (no pun intended) by making their firearms and accessories right hand-centric.

And I’m jealous.

I’m seriously considering picking one of these up as a BUG. The only thing I’m concerned about is that I’m a lefty. The pics I’ve seen seem to show that the grip is contoured. If the contours are made for a right handed grip, it can make the firearm very unfriendly to us lefties. Your pics, however, seem to indicate that it may be more ambidextrous than I originally thought.

Since you already have yours I can conveniently just ask you instead of trying to analyze pictures in depth. How does it feel in your left hand? Is it uncomfortable to grip? How about the safety and magazine release, how difficult are they to operate left handed?

Thanks in advance.

By the way, do you mind mentioning which vendor you bought it from?

Thanks x2.
