Waiting for Hachiko |
Hoping this is current. For those interested in a CZ82 in this caliber. Was reading in the CZ forum and found it. https://atlanticfirearms.com/s...q=cz+83&qt=all_words 美しい犬 | ||

One of these days I, or CZ, or someone will figure out whether the .32s are 82s or 83s.  That's a few days old and, apparently, still current. Someone got in a shipment a few months ago and blew them out the door at a much more 9x18 price. These look a bit less beat up, but at $549 they're not moving anywhere near as fast. FWIW, CZ did bring in a batch of mags when the earlier batch of pistols hit the market, but may or may not have any now. | |||

A lot of folks like the 32 acp CZ82's. I already have a 9x18 C82 like new that CCR did in CeraHide Black, and I'm happy with my setup . 美しい犬 | |||

I'd love one; I'm just too cheap to get one of the batch from Atlantic. | |||

I had one in 9X18 Makarov made in Czechoslovakia. Painted finish which easily chipped off, so I stripped off the paint and had it refinished in black, which didn't come off too well. As I recall, the magazine release was an Engineer nightmare of little pieces. Traded off or sold, I don't remember. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

Exactly! It would go nicely with my Beretta 81. Rom 13:4 If you do evil, be afraid. For he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. | |||

That's easy: If it has a rounded trigger guard, it's an 82, which means it's a milsurp. If it has a squared-off trigger guard, it's an 83, made for the civilian market. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.  | |||

Early 83s---as a matter of fact all of them well into the 21st Century---also had rounded triggerguards. | |||

Yes, I have an 83 in .380 that has the rounded trigger guard. I also have a couple of 83s in 9x18M that has the square guards . The later 83s came in .32,.380. and 9x18M if I recall correctly. The .380 and 9x18M magazines were the same too I believe. The mak version holds one less round . The .32 holds 15 I think. I never got a .32 though I now wish I had. | |||

Apologies for a slight derail: After looking at the CZs, I scrolled the rest of the Atlantic Firearms site under "surplus pistols" and they have used Beretta 92S models for 360 bucks. Described as good/fair condition. The photos looked ok and for that price you could always rehab it. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

7.65 = CZ-83. Terrific guns but that import mark on the slide is unforgivable. Also, mags are unobtainable after CZ-USA stopped carrying them a year or so ago | |||

9x18 is correct about the Model 83 also being made in 9mm Makarov. Now, I'm pretty sure the following info is correct: The CZ82 in 9mm Makarov had polygonal rifling but the CZ83s that were made in 9mm Makarov had traditional rifling. Someone here will be able to verify this I'm sure. | |||

Oops. I guess I'm wrong.  I have an 82 in 9x18 with a rounded trigger guard, an 82 in 9x17 (.380) with same, and an 83 in 7.65 with a squared trigger guard. So am I correct in saying if it's milsurp it's an 82, or is that also wrong? | |||

That sounds right toivo. One thing in what you wrote: you said you have "an 82 in 9x17 (380)". The 82 is strictly 9x18 Makarov. | |||
|
| Hillbilly Wannabe |
The CZ83 has a grooved barrel in .32 and .380 but the 9x18M has the polygonal barrel like the 82. | |||

I might be confused because it's a milsurp, purchased from J&G, and it has a round trigger guard. | |||

Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
For $300-$350, I'd jump on one of these to go with my Beretta 81. $550 is a bit steep, though, and I'm currently saving for something to fill a practical hole in my collection...this would basically just be a duplicate. I wonder if Atlantic is the only place that got this batch, or if we'll see some popping up other places...maybe in poorer condition at a lower price. | |||

^^ Been looking around. Will sing out (after ordering) if I see anything. | |||

Cool. Same here...but I'm working all weekend so likely won't have a lot of time to look. | |||

Caveat emptor on these pistols. I have an ammo trading acquaintance who ordered one from Atlantic within the last few weeks. Arrived unacceptable and he refused the shipment. And, PGT has nailed it for magazines - they seem to be made out of unobtainium. I really like the platform, I have an 83 and somewhat beat up 82. | |||
