I thought about getting a vz-82 as well, but 7.62x25mm costs about half what they charge for 9x18mm. I've always wanted a Bulgarian makarov, so if I ever go the 9x18 route, that'll be my platform.
I also bought the TTC because mags and parts (even aftermarket!) are widely available and pretty cheap. As soon as my accounts recover, I'm going to build an "oh crap kit" with replacement springs and an extra firing pin or two. Of course I need about a half dozen magazines first.
