CZ 82

Who hasem? Do you use it as a carry weapon? What do you think of them?

I have one, shot it today, like it. Not my carry gear though.

There's some good deals on holsters:

Shoulder holsters from CZ (http://shop.cz-usa.com/C-134/COMPACT.aspx)
Surplus Eastern Bloc Belt Holsters & Mag Pouches (http://www.cdnninvestments.com/cz82behofa.html, http://www.cdnninvestments.com/cz8283magpouch.html)

I don't like the idea of carrying one for defense due to the lack of a decocker. If you're carrying a defensive sidearm there should be a round in the chamber. With the CZ, the only way to get the hammer back down after chambering a round is to pull the trigger and control the hammer (like one might for a revolver). I'm personally not very comfortable with that, even if I did it before leaving the house out in the yard with a safe backstop.

Arma, I am in the same opinion. I also have a CZ-82. Love the pistol but am not comfortable lowering a hammer on a live round. The CZ-83 is the same way.
