  Time Proven Design - Best of Breed (GunTest) - Added 1 month 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 month, 2 weeks 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.

  This is one awesome pistol! Fit, finish, balance, reliability, POI to POA... all excellent. Add in price and you have mind blowing weapon! Im having too much fun shooting this one to think about buying another pistol. But when I do, it will definitely be a CZ!!!
• My Perfect First Gun! - Added 4 months, 2 weeks 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.
• Great gun - Added 4 months, 2 weeks ago.
  Added by Bill

  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 6 months, 1 week 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 6 months, 2 weeks 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!

• CZ 83 is tops - Added 1 year ago.
  Added by David Wong

  I've owned Sig P230's, Beretta's, and Makarovs. The Cz83 is the most accurate, durable, and comfortable to shoot. It is a compact ,ACCURATE defense pistol that holds 13 rounds. I can shoot bullseyes all day with the cheapest ammo available.

  Superb .380 - Added 1 year, 1 month 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 1 year, 2 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

• Sweet Piece - Added 1 year, 6 months ago.
  Added by Rick

  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.
• CZ-83 is Top Gun - Added 1 year, 6 months ago.
  Added by ls1man

  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 2 years 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 2 years, 1 month 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!

  I've owned a CZ-83 handgun for several months and I've got to say it is one of the best weapons I've ever used! Flawless in every way, not to mention I scored a 100% with it in my CWP qualification test. Highly recommended for newbies and veterans alike.
• Hand Fit - Added 2 years, 2 months ago.
  Added by Rodolfo

  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.

  Initial testing of my .380 auto caliber CZ83 was good accuracy but very firm trigger. CZ custdom shop fixed trigger pull nicely. Also I added a very handsome set of factory supplied wooden grips. Now it's a super cary piece!! Very Cool!!

  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.
