I'm putting in an order to J&G Sales for a CZ83 in 9mm Browning (.380 ACP). I'm also ordering two more 13-round magazines with it. The way I see it, the 3.8" barreled DA/SA design has been used by the Czech Army and Police in 9mm Makarov and has been field proven since the early 1980s. This will make for a neat "backup" piece and handy bed partner.

The small game and pests should beware! I'm coming, and hell is coming with me! 

Works for me!

I love the CZ 82/83! satin nickel! wow, I bet that is a sharp looking pistol! I bought a bunch of them when they first hit the surplus market. mine are all 9x18 82s but the only difference is the chambering. some of the export 83s have a different trigger guard. (not round) they are very reliable, pleasant to shoot and accurate pistols. most of the time, unless I'm in bear country, one of them is my EDC. even when hunting. I have dispatched lots of wounded game and livestock and even took a small hog at around 30 yds. with one shot. the 9x18 is a little more power than the .380 but not by much. you will have an excellent carry pistol! enjoy.

Yes, the trigger guard on the Satin Nickel model has a protrusion on the front where one can use the finger of your non-trigger hand to grasp the pistol while firing the handgun. I'd be willing to bet that the pistol will be handy for stopping marauding critters (raccoons, coyotes, vicious dogs, opossums, etc.).

I truly look forward to shooting this Eastern Bloc pistol.   

Very nifty.  I am jelly.

At least you aren't in a "jam".
