![]() ![]() load for this gun (or any straight blowback type action for that mater) other than the brass exploding out the ejection port, the slide breaking (or some other part on the frame) or the ever exact "very sharp recoil/report/muzzle blast"?įeedback, criticism and other ideas are encouraged. With me trying to stay subsonic, I don't know how much faster I will want to load to and I am not sure how much larger of a bullet I can get to cycle through the gun reliably, mostly an OAL issue (though I could seat it in fairly deeply).Īnyone have any good ways to determine when I have reached the max. I figure if I make them nice and heavy I will push up the slide weight and be able to up the power level of my ammo as much as a straight blowback action can take. My only other plan is to make some very chunky front and rear sights so I can see over my form 1 can (1.35" dia). I just wanted to pass this along to anyone if they were looking for a good project host gun to start out playing around with and wondering if it would work. I have had to do no modification to the feed ramp, main spring, magazines or any other part. This ammo will cycle the gun perfectly, chambers without a problem, feeds through the mag. I know this is a light load, no better than 380, but I am just starting out playing with this project. round nose bullet, 1.010" OAL into an unmodified 9x19mm case. My load is currently 3.7 grains of Ramshot Zip (W231 will substitute pretty much identically) with a cast 95 gr. The barrel is a surplus barrel blank that I had laying around, it is 1" longer than the factory one to provide room for the suppressor threading. I like the double/single action and overall feel of the CZ-82. I did not want to have to modify my brass (shortening 9x19 brass is a common way to make serviceable 9mm makarov brass). 9x18 makarov bullets are harder to chase down (they are a slightly bigger in dia.) I wanted cheap and available components, 9mm brass (unlike 380) can be found by the buckets at my range and 9mm/.380 auto bullets are available everywhere. I wanted to be able to load hotter than 380 auto, without blowing the brass apart, 9mm is a good bit tougher and has more volume to keep the pressure down. I am learning and did not want to trash an expensive gun with hobby gunsmithing. I wanted a fixed barrel pistol to eliminate a large part of action cycling problems. I am using cast 95 gr round nose bullets. The throat is also cut short, so most factory 9mm ammo won't fully chamber, ex. I cut the chamber for 9mm luger (9x19mm), though I am only going to shoot reduced load ammo through the pistol. I was looking for a nice host pistol to install my 9mm form 1 can onto and this seemed to be an ideal choice. They are not C&R, thus require an HQL, but they are a closer copy of the Walther, at least in appearance.I just finished installing a surplus 9mm barrel into a CZ-82 pistol (which are chambered in 9x18 makarov). OP, if you're looking for a PP or PPK clone, you might also check out the Hungarian FEG PA-63. I predict he'll shoot the CZ more, though. OP should definitely get at least one P64 and a CZ82. Many would call it "pleasingly plump": it's nicely rounded, unlike the boxy grip of the Glock. The double stack mag makes for a fatter grip than the Makarov's. The CZ 82 is chambered for 9x18 Makarov, in fact, for a +P version of 9x18, according to the internet. The CZ 83 is the commercial version of the military and police CZ 82 (actually VZ82). But switching to the 18 pound spring does make the SA pull very, very light. I had to pull about halfway, then stop and rest, have a sandwich and a glass of milk, then finish the trigger pull. I did change mine to the Wolff 18 pound spring before I even fired it once, simply because the DA pull was impossible. For a range gun, if you only shoot single action, you might want to leave the P64 hammer spring alone.
