Question
i was wondering if you could give me your opinion about my czechoslovakia vzor 70cal. 7.65 32 semi automatic. weather or not it is a good dependable gun to carry concealed. Thanks

Answer
The value of these guns is found in their cost, and that's about it. It is overly large and heavy for the caliber. I would not ordinarily consider carrying a gun for self-protection that was not at least a 9mm. In the even that I have to for concealability's sake, I would carry something like the Kel-Tec P32. The .32 caliber is not ideal, but if I was going to use it, it would be because I needed a very tiny package. Dependability is a relative evaluation. It is certainly not as dependable as, say, a Glock. Lastly, it does not have good ergonomics and has a number of sharp edges that will present no issue as the range in a slow-fire session, but would become a great distraction when trying to operate the gun in self-defense training, or the "real thing" if it happened.
