Thanks for the info guys. I’ll certainly look into the CZ and XD. There are usually several private sellers that are regulars at our gun shows that are knowledgeable, honest, and not un-reasonable with their pricing. Hoping I can fill my need with a max outlay of $400 (less would be great). Should be do-able.
I am sure there are plenty of great options.
I would ask around and see if you can try before you buy.
Both of those pistols are in the $400 ballpark
Here’s a starting point for comparing prices.
Anybody ever shoot a CZ82? I’m thinking of getting one on my CandR. The price is right and I already have have something in 9x18.
