harmon; no gun manufacturer out there is 100% perfect. Every manufacturer; including the likes of SigSauer, Colt, Ruger, etc... has one come out once in a while that has an issue. I have a Walther Clone as well as a "Real" walther. The clone just doesn't do well with American brands of ammunition. I've had problems with speer, winchester, corbon, and others. However; with european ammo such as fiocche and S&B, I couldn't make the damn think jam, ftf, fte, etc... even if I wanted to. At least not in the last 1000+ rounds. Then the original Walther has a particular problem with certain JHP.
When I look at the reliability of a gun, I look at all the reviews of a particular gun. If I see a lot of negatives, I question the manufacturer and that model. If I only see 1 or 2 out of hundreds or more; than I recognize the manufacturer and model as being excellent and that the individual gun is picky; and you have to find out it's personality. I.e. SigSauer is a GREAT manufacturer of guns. Ruger is a GREAT manufacturer of guns. S&W is a great manufacturer of guns. If I come across one of these guns; and others; that has an issue, then it's an individual gun's personality. I simply have to get to know her. Just like cars have their own individual personality. On the other hand, Bryco/Jennings/Jimenez makes crappy guns. If my life depending on it, I also wouldn't trust a Rossi. And the same for others. Not that they don't have some excellent individual pistols that come out; just too many negatives as a percentage.
The military CZ (Meaning guns like the CZ-82 and CZ-52 are fantastic weapons. Can the individual gun have an issue? Definitely. So can a gun made by any manufacturer. But there is no doubt that when it comes to military surplus type handguns, the CZ-82 is one of the best out there. I also include the tokarev and Mosin as being others. While I love the FEG/Hungarians and others like the polish, chinese, and other countries that have military surplus; the CZ-82 is definitely on the top of the short list.
