  I PURCHASED THIS PISTOL SEVERAL YEARS AGO. IT IS EXTREMELY ACCURATE, FEELS GREAT IN THE HAND AND IT IS MADE EXTREMELY WELL. IT IS MY FAVORITE CARRY WEAPON. WHY IS THIS EXCELLENT PISTOL BEING DISCONTINUED??? MY SON ALSO HAS PURCHASED THIS PISTOL LAST YEAR.

  I just recently bought a CZ83. I have to say I never felt any gun that feels so good in my hand. Is there any information anywhere that tell how to disassemble the 83? I am not talking field striping I am talking complete. Thanks

  I love my CZ83 ... first pistol I have ever owned that put 10 out of 10 in the center circle straight out of the box. (freehand). A very impressive feat. I was very disappointed to learn they have discontinued the model.

  I shot my new CZ83 today and what a gun this is! I think I shoot better with it than I do with my CZ85. This gun will be my carry gun being that it's very accurate and compact. So why is this gun being Discontinued?
• New CZ 83 - Added 7 months ago.
  Added by David Powell

  Just purchased my new CZ 83 this week. It is my third CZ pistol having already purchased a 2075 Rami P and a 75 P-01. We took it to the range and give it a good work out. It was very accurate as are all the CZ's. We had a few small issues at first, but worked those out easily. An excellent firearm that I will use as a carry gun. I don't think I can be more impressed with the feel, quality and accuracy of a CZ product until I get another one. I would love to see CZ make a civilian version of their military rifles available for us fans here in the USA.

  Well, now have my third CZ. A CZ83. We are all preaching to the choir when we get on here and rave about our guns. For those that are considering them, you will not do better or be more satisfied for the money. This will be my CCW and it's already one of my favorites. I have a problem though, now what model do I get next?
• Tied for my favorite. - Added 9 months, 2 weeks ago.
  Added by RichD

  Just picked up my new 83 a couple of weeks ago. Accurate and easy to shoot. Only problem is finding the brass after. Really throws it out there. My other two favorite guns are my CZ-85 Combat and my Ruger SR1911. Got it for concealed carry. Best selling points for that are it fits my hand well and of course holds twice as much ammo as the Walther PPK.
• Loved mine since '86! - Added 9 months, 3 weeks ago.

  I got my CZ-83 back in '86, and have loved it ever since. Dead reliable, handy, easy to shoot and maintain, and effective. Can't beat it, in my opinion!

  Just purchased a surplus CZ 83 because why not for 220 dollars? My fiance and I took it to the range and it was ergonomically the best handgun either of had ever fired. She's only been out a few times and has experienced 5 different pistols and this was by far her favorite. She enjoys shooting but I know that she mostly had just been going to make me happy. Not the case this time! Her face lit up like a Christmas tree as she punched out the middle of the target from about 12 yards out. Needless to say it is no longer my firearm, but hopefully she'll let me shoot it from time to time because it's a great weapon!
• Great Gun! - Added 10 months, 3 weeks ago.
  Added by RDP

  Purchased a month ago and immediatley took it to the range. The fit and feel as an extension of the hand is truly something that you have to experience. I have small hands and everything is right where your fingers are. Accuracy was right on the money and not a single misfeed or misfire on over 100 rounds. I own a Para Ord 9mm dbl stack and a 32NAA both greatly different guns than the CZ83. There was no learning curve or adjustments I had to make with the CZ. Great Gun!
• Curse you, CZ! - Added 11 months, 4 weeks ago.
  Added by Dan

  First you made me buy a 75 D/PCR; next the SP-01; then a P-01. Then you forced me to buy a .380 that outperforms the Beretta, S&W and Taurus guns that I owned but which were not enough fun to keep. In addition to being ridiculously easy to field strip, the CZ 83 actually likes cheap Russian practice ammo, for which I'll never forgive you. Kidding aside, it's a fantastic .380 that gets plenty of looks at the range and is my new EDC.

  Added by Mike

  I've had my CZ-83 (380) since around 1991/1992, bought it while I was stationed in Germany with the AF. Lord only knows how many rounds I have put through this gun. Still looks new, fires like a champ, and the wife and daughter love to shoot it. Never ever had any type of issues with it. Many friends over the years have laughed at it until shooting it, only to be amazed. Wouldn't trade it for the world!

  Time Proven Design - Best of Breed (GunTest) - Added 1 year, 5 months ago.
  Added by Phantom II

  I started out to buy a well made reliable CCW pistol. I was leaning towards the surplus Makarovs and compatible Soviet Bloc handguns. Seeing that the CZ82 had a higher capacity magazine, I decided to try it. The pistol had a poor black polymer paint finish but was a beauty of design and function. Duracoat refinishing made it look like new and function flawlessly. I liked it so much I bought a second one. My wife liked it since it fit her hands and was so accurate, that I bought two CZ83's in .380ACP. This is as near as perfect a weapon to carry for protection as can be found, and the quality of materials and fit and finish makes it a real candidate to be handed down to my children as a family treasured possession. Thanks CZ for making this fine pistol, and keeping it in STEEL! Oh! I changed the grips to Marschalsgrips that are the great finishing touches.

  First 1000 rounds - Added 1 year, 6 months ago.
  Added by SheikYourBootie

  Got my cz83 home a couple weeks ago, purchased one after trying one at the range...just felt right. Ran 1000 rounds right out of the box with no cleaning (Cheap/dirty ammo, hollow points/fmj of various profiles) and not ONE malfunction...even purposefully limp wristing when the weapon was horribly powder fouled. Accurate out to 25 yards offhand; even rapid fire most rounds stayed in a 5" target at that distance.

  I have always loved the blowback style firearms such as the Makarov and Walther ppk. And after researching for a month or two I decided that the CZ 83 would be the one I bought. Well, one gun show later and it was mine! I had read all kinds of reviews about how well they perform but I kept my hopes "reasonable" and didn't fully expect it to live up to all it's hype.. Boy was I wrong to do that, it fires superbly and never once had any failures right out of the box. 150 rounds later and it still hadn't so much as thought about failing to eject or fire. The ammo used was Winchester Whitebox 95 grain, and Remmington Golden Saber 102 grain. I love it's action and feel. GREAT firearm, quit researching and just buy one already!

  What a weapon! Simple to clean and it is the best 380 I have shot. Beretta, Tarus, and ruger 380's are stiff and frankly after 50 rounds I just want to quit shooting. So I now own CZs in the calibers 380, 9mm, 40mm, and 45.CZ please continue making guns simple, functional, resonable in price, and most all fun to shoot.

• My Perfect First Gun! - Added 1 year, 9 months ago.
  Added by JoeInCT

  On the day I received my Carry Permit in June of 2002, I marched down to my local dealer and bought a blued .380. I had not fired a pistol since my service in the Army in the 1970's, so I was somewhat apprehensive. By about 2 hours later, however, I was ecstatic that my military training and experience had only gone dormant, to be awakened by my CZ-83. I went home and promptly disassembled and cleaned the pistol. After many trips to my local range on weeknights and weekends, I found my confidence in accurately firing my CZ pistols continued to grow, and today I own five CZ pistols, along with two Kadet adapters for my twin CZ-75-BD's. I enjoy and love every one of them. And it all started with a CZ-83.

  I bought an 83 from an outlet that obtains police trade-ins. Czech police trade-ins. I lucked into a gun that appeared to have never been fired or holstered, and I only paid $225.00 for it. It is more accurate that my Glock 19, and it feels better built. The 83 is a sweet gun at retail, but if you can get a good trade-in... Get two!

• AWESOME concealed carry gun! - Added 1 year, 10 months ago.
  Added by Creamer

  I carry my CZ 83 in a Simply Rugged concealed carry rig. It's weight lets you know it's there, but it is manageable. It has ALWAYS fed reliably with ANY type of ammo put through it, even junk factory target loads. I keep it clean, and it just keeps on putting rounds downrange. CZ is a great company and their pistols are under priced in my opinion. I paid a solid $400 for my pistol and received $800 worth of gun. I love it to death and I would easily put my life on its functioning any day of the week, 365 days a year.
• The best handgun I've owned. - Added 1 year, 11 months ago.
  Added by Culp

  My cz-83 (.380acp) is by far the most reliable handgun i've ever owned. I've yet to have a single failure to fire under any circumstance, this pistol has fired at least 1,000 rounds to date. (and I purchased it used) In my opinion this is the perfect concealed carry weapon, easy to use, ambidextrous, good sights, excellent accuracy and easily controllable... Everyone I've let fire it swears they will buy one. I've since sold all my other handguns, with the exception of my surplus cz-52...an antique, that again has never once failed. From now on it's CZ for me! In my opinion, the finest firearms available anywhere!

  Superb .380 - Added 2 years, 6 months ago.
  Added by Rowland Parks

  I've owned my CZ83 for about a year, now. I also own two Beretta Cheetahs and a Walther PPK/S. The CZ cost significantly less than any of the others. Nevertheless, it is more accurate than the others, and recoil is more managable. (.380 blowbacks are snappy). The CZ83 will cycle any clean .380 ammo. It's not tiny, nor the lightest .380 I own. But it seems to be the one I always carry. I prefer it to the more expensive guns. It's superb in design and function. Highly recommended.
• CZ 82 & 83 - Added 2 years, 7 months ago.
  Added by Steve O

  I picked up one of the CZ-83s in .380 ACP a few months ago as surplus. It wasn't the prettiest little gun, being surplus and rated Good condition. I was so impressed that I searched for new and near new ones and subsequently bought 2 more, one for my Sheriff's deputy daughter and one for my wife. I found the CZ-82, which is virtually identical to the CZ-83, but in 9x18 Makarov and couldn't help myself, bought one of those too. Awesome little pistols. Typical CZ quality, that is to say awesome! Very well built and accurate, too. Everyone who tries them remarks how comfortable and easy they are to shoot, just fitting the hand so well. My older daughter informed me she wanted me to leave one of them for her in my estate. I thought that might be rushing things a bit, but laughed and agreed. LOL

  Purchased upon reading review in gun magazine. This is one well-built, elegant, refined little weapon. I've put about 1000 rounds through it so far, everything from aluminum cased ball to various hollowpoints, and it digests everything perfectly. The ergonomics are perfect and it points like your finger. Hard to admit, but it's more accurate even out to 50 feet than my beloved G19. This is my new carry gun in a Half Breed leather/kydex belt holster. Buy one.

  I checked out every manufacturer of 380 pistols when I was looking for a conceal carry, the CZ 83 has the longest barrel and is the only one that was made of steel. It is rated by Gun-Tests Magazine as the most reliable also. I bought one after all that research and I couldn't be happier with it. It is very well made and a beauty also. Thanks CZ,
• Most dependable handgun for over 23 years - Added 3 years, 4 months ago.
  Added by Girya79

  I purchased a CZ 83 when I was a soldier in West Berlin. I once thought that I should have purchased the CZ 75, but over the years I have come to realize this as the better overall weapon. Ease of use, dependability, ease of field stripping and care, all are superior. The heavier 9mm round of the CZ 75 is better for knockdown, but the weapon is notably heavier and not so quick on target. Overall, this has been my favorite handgun for all these years.

  LOVE CZ - Added 3 years, 5 months ago.
  Added by CZ MAK DADDY

  I own a CZ-83 in .380 and a CZ-82 in 9mm makarov only. The CZ-82 is the M&P version of the 83. The only difference is the lack of a firing pin safety and has a rounded trigger guard. My wife uses my 83 and i carry the 82. These guns are the most accurate, dependable, high-capacity, comfortable, and stylish "simple blowback pistols" I've ever owned or fired. Being accurate is the best trait. When i plink with either model i fire at a 7x10" steel plate set a 50yrds and nail it every time "offhand". All i need now is the .32cal to complete my collection. Thanks CZ!

  It has been a year now that I have been using a CZ 83 as one of the guns in the basic pistol course. Never has one gun fit so many people. Most students ask the model and write it down, because they liked shooting this pistol. The gun is ultra-easy to field strip & clean. Add the fact that it points naturally and shoots well. I would highly recommend this firearm.

  My recent purchase of a CZ 83 in .32 cal was a very plesant surprise, when the first time to the range this gun turned out to be a "tack driver". At over 35' we were getting the entire mag load in 3" center. It just became my new carry gun.

  Owner of the CZ-83 in 9mm markarov. The pistol is one of my favorites and I used it to qualify for my CCW. I have fired numerous rounds with not one FTF. I have not used any rounds above 95 grains. and prefer the Hornady 95 XHTP hollow point. Very solid platform and keeps appearance with little effort.
