Just got an e-mail from AIM and they have some Israeli LE trade-in CZ83's, which look to be in very good shape. Very good price too, from what I've been seeing. Has me tempted to get an 83 to go with my 82.

I saw the E-mail notice yesterday, dilly-dallied about a purchase last night, and thought I would sleep on it. Just logged on the AIM site at 8:30 a.m. Central Time this morning to buy one (thinking maybe even two!) and they are SOLD OUT.
-
Not enough time to even consider. Sold out when I checked at 11:03 EST.
Oh well.

Wow!!! They did look nice but if you snoozed forget it.

The lesson here for CZ fans, and shooters in general: (ahem) Be Ready to Pull the Trigger!

CDI Sales has a bunch on Gun Broker. They don't look as good as those but are cheaper.

I got one of the Coles Dist. CZ83 pistols for about $250 delivered to my 01FFL. It runs great, but the finish / condition of the AIM Surplus ones sure looked nicer.

I managed to score a cosmetically challenged one from AIM early Monday morning. I just got shipping notice. I'll post a picture when it gets here. I like well worn police guns and am looking forward to trying a CZ 83.

I've bought two CZ83's and a Jericho 941 FS from Cole Dist. I pick through the photos and chose the best one and I have not been disappointed. Thing is I like the Jericho better than the CZ83 now. It shoots tighter groups, holds 17 rounds of 9MM vs 13 rounds of .380, and is effectively THE SAME SIZE.
-
I managed to get one from AIM and it is a beauty! Hardly any wear and shoots like a dream!
-
My FFL called and woke my up from a nap, being retired is hard work. The CZ 83 I ordered from AIM was listed as cosmetically challenged, but It looks better than I expected. Except for the miss matched rusted grip screws I can live with the wear. I'll clean it up tonight.

Do these used 83s from Israel seem to be well-maintained?
My main objective for now is buying a second P-83, but a second CZ (now an 82) in the future in .380 would be sort of an insurance policy.
Would rather not have most of my central/eastern Euro handguns in the exact same chambering,in case of more restrictions placed on imported guns or ammo. Irrational politicians' long-term goals will never change. The "Progressives'" (so to speak ;)) objectives on gradually banning guns (and permits) will last several decades if necessary.

Looks like you got a pretty nice 83 from Aim. You have to be fast when the have the deals posted. I always seem to miss the boat.

Check Gunbroker - CDI had a nice crop recently!

This moment, over 40 CZ-83s are listed on Gunbroker.
Why Not in .380 Auto vs. 9x18 Mak? Both rounds are very similar in terms of power.
