cz-82 - torture in the river

[mrzachary]

So I was going down the river this past weekend. Decided to do some testing. Threw my Preon 1 and my CZ-82 out in the middle of the river where we had pulled off to grill some food. About 1.5 feet deep with a decent current. Walked out there and stepped on the CZ and ground it into the silt beneath my foot so you could no longer see it from above. Preon 1 stayed lit and works perfect. Pulled the CZ out and racked the slide. Lets just say it wasn't just a little gritty. Never the less she pulled back fine. Only fired two rounds but each went off without a hitch. Getting the magazine out was rough but it wasn't too bad. I pulled it out of my backpack the next day and to no surprise there was a whole lot of rust everywhere. I completely tore the pistol apart cleaning every part, spring and pin. This was an experience without an armorers manual doing it for the first time. All went well except I broke my slide lock spring. Have to order one of those but other than that she is all put back together and working fine.

Anyone else have any torture tests they want to share?

I would say that is a little extreme...

Thanks for vindicating a $250 dollar purchase I made for a bug out bag. Sounds like a good firearm.

Shooting a firearm is the most torture you can inflict on a firearm. Or..neglect, right?

I couldn't do that with my gun. I'm pretty picky on how I take care of stuff. I hope if I ever drop it or fall in the water and need it that it will still function properly.

I am not surprised at all. CZ goodness.

I keep my torture tests realistic. I put my Shield in my butt crack, then go mow the lawn on 100 degree days like today.

I have videos of a $2k 1911 that would make even a Glock fanboy cringe. (not mine of course, I only have a $1k Kimber to do that to )

It wouldn't be much of a torture test if I didn't, now would it?

CZ is the AK of handguns!
