The Vz. 82 was a military product not intended for commercial sales. It is significant that when Česká zbrojovka started manufacturing these pistols for commercial export it was as the CZ 83, not "CZ 82." Referring to the Vz. 82 as a "CZ 82" is like calling an M9 a "Beretta model 9" rather than using Beretta's own nomenclature of "Model 92FS."
