I am a firm believer in using whatever caliber you can shoot the most accurate. If you can adequately defend yourself with a .22LR, but can't handle the recoil on anything else so end up not hitting anything, then by all means, use the .22LR.
Hey guys... I bought one about a month ago and it was listed at their highest grade and I must say that I was disappointed with the grading. It was marked as a V for very good on the tag but I would rank it as a fair to low good. Heavy wear on paint on both sides and top of frame and the grip was heavily warn on one side into a crack.
This was the first time that I felt like I way over paid for one. First purchase from them for a CZ pistol. I almost sent it back. Maybe my experience is an anomaly as other purchases from them were decent.
Did you reach out to them? Maybe at least get them to offer a discount down to the G value 82 as yours looks more like that one from the pics??? Just a thought. The other question is, how does it function? Is it mechanically sound?
