The vz. 82[1] is a compact semi-automatic pistol made for the Czechoslovakian military. A civilian export version is called the CZ-83. "Vz." is an abbreviation for "vzor", which translates to "model." The vz. 82 is commonly referred to as the "CZ-82". However, this is incorrect; "vz. 82" is the pistol's only official military designation.
