Thats a winner, the CZ82 is a fantastic little shooter, and ruggedly built too. Then you can buy its cousin the CZ 83 and have a .380 too. Either one will run you about 200-300 at any gunshop that carries them, I have seen some gougers put a set of aftermarket grips on the 83s and try to get sig money for them, so dont be fooled. The CZs are better than sigs anyway IMO...

The 9X18 is a tad more powerful than the .380 and a tad less powerful than the 9 luger.

.380 = 9X17mm
then 9X18 makarov
and 9 luger = 9X19 parabellum

I like the cz alittle better then the makavor I found more of the cz then makavor I have found the cz for around 250. Ammo is hard to found around where I live

Hey Remington, what do you want to use your first gun for?

The 9X18 makarov is a milsurp caliber, Youd be best ordering it in bulk from the internet or finding a military gun supply store.

Right now I have no clue what I want I looked a the rock island 1911 and I have looked at the ruger p95 and the makavor and the cz but til I find one of each of them and feel them but as far as what I seen on here and online I like the ruger the best so far the because I could afford one new. And I really like ruger too

remington1990 · 01-29-2011, 12:48 AM

What abt the 7.62x25 russian pistols I seen pretty reasonable and I like the looks of them too

I once had a CZ 7.62x25mm and wish like heck I didnt let it go! The one I "had" was a great shooter and a buddy of mine has one and been trying to get it off him for some time now...nothing wrong with them at all as far as I know!

The Kel-tec P11 is a 9mm they offer, and it's a decent gun. I've owned and carried one for years. Never had a problem with it.

I've no experience with their PF9 - the really slim one, but, I imagine it too is a great 9mm.

remington1990 · 01-31-2011, 11:47 AM

Would the kel tec be too small to practice with I looked at a ruger p89 in 9mm for 250 and a hi point in 9mm also

Remington first decide what you want the gun for.

If it's just for range and maybe Home Defense look at 9mm.

If you want a pocket pistol get something like a Beretta Tomcat .32 acp

If you want to carry inside the waistband maybe a Bersa Thunder .380 or a 9mm There are many nice 9mm's.

REMINGTON Do Forget the 25 acp they are a worthless gun, I don't mean they won't hurt/kill someone but you are better off with a .22LR or .32 or .380
