You need at least a C&R FFL, which you can get after fee and paperwork....

You are aware that you are comparing a cannon to a peashooter? 7.62x25 will send that .30 cal pellet at almost 2000 fps and with steel core loads will shatter a cinder block. Both are fine for what they do but it's like comparing a bulldozer to a Porche.

So... Don't keep us in suspense... tell us more! Why (in your opinion) should we get one?

Isn't the CZ-82 an almost clone of the Walther PPK? I've never had the former but had a PPK and was dissapointed. It has a decocker that, unlike better designed guns like Sigs, doesn't spring back up to the "ready-to-fire-in-double-action" mode when released. I like handguns that go bang when I need them. But if you can live with that flaw (I can't), the PPK is a fine little handgun. The CZ-82 probably is...

Corbon and Hornady both make 9x18. It's growing in popularity so I don't think it will be a problem.
