Bought an 83 REEEEL cheap.

It must be Christmas.

I was at a G store and asked if they could come down on their consignment price for an 83 from $300 a bit, since it didn't have the second magazine.  The guy called the owner and said they would take $200.

Turns out, the poor womans husband died, and it's been waiting since last April to sell, hence the drop in price to move it.

Not one for being a gravedigger, I must say it couldn't have come to a more appreciating person.

First of all, I'm a lefty.  I LOVE this guns ambi-ness.  The trigger is Super Smooth.  And I can add it to my CZ 27, 50, 52, 70, and 85.

I took it to the range, it shoots a bit high, so I have to adjust the front sight down a tad, but I can put a ragged hole at 21 feet about 1/3 an inch in diameter, so no complaints here.  It's as accurate as my 85 with the adjustable sights.

Now I'm eyeing a CZ 75 Compact for $300 at another G store with a Serial Number of A 0068.  Wonder if they'll come down a bit...

That sounds like a great price!  I picked up a barely used CZ83 for $225 last year.  Mine is one of the older ones with the round trigger guard.

Mine has the round trigger guard.

I was manufactured in 1995.  When did they make the change to the square guard?

And does that make a difference in buying a holster?

Thanks!

cz9091 - I have no idea when the CZ83 went to a square triggerguard.  Perhaps someone else may know the answer.  My CZ83 was made in 1991.

For holsters, check out Makarov.com.  They sell Falco holsters for the CZ.  Supposed to be very high quality.
