Title: 83 is missing retention lanyard loop
Post by: bradpierson26 on March 17, 2014, 11:09:22 AM: Are all CZ83s supposed to have the lanyard loop? Mine doesn't and the spot is smoothed over like it was never there, not like some bubba hacked it off.

As an old ground-pounder, I find it somehow comforting. I don't guess a Zoom would worry about it, though! ;D

That is my belief also :)

But I bought one from CA USA a few years back. it is different that the CZ82 loop as it is steel not aluminum and smaller. I swapped mine on my 82 as it let the CZ 75 rubber mag base fit better. The mag base hung up on the stock CZ 82 loop.

What year is yours?

Lol, how do I tell? Just via the serial?

Not to be argumentative, but how do you know that your CZ 83 "had a loop"? And how do you know that "they" changed the trigger guard? It might have been made with either a rounded or a squared trigger guard, depending on when it was made.

Post by: geen on March 29, 2014, 09:25:06 AM: I stand corrected I could have sworn that I replaced mine with one sold as a 83 loop from CZ usa but when I look now I see none ,and the P-07 and cz 75 loops look alot like the one I have on my 82 now.
