CZ 83 7.65mm Available Now from ...

My CZ83 in .380 also has similar issues with the effort required to pull the trigger guard down and ejecting the magazine.

I even bought some of the parts to replace the mag release and it is very finicky still after replacement.

Did the difficult trigger guard ever affect functioning? Any idea why it is hard to pull down.

New member here.  I just received my CZ 83 .32 ACP from Atlantic last week.  It was in very nice condition.  Everything worked.  A bit dusty.  Some “honest wear” from handling, carry and some shooting.  Bore was pristine. 

Mine dates to 1991. Has a nice “Made in Czechoslovakia” stamp. Round trigger guard. 

But only 1 magazine.  I can’t seem to find magazines anywhere.  I’d like to have two or three extras on hand.   Any suggestions?

Keep an eye on Armslist. I recently sold several NIB CZ 83 .32 ACP mags on it.

My last CZ 83 .32acp that was in almost unissued condition, with a very tight slide, also had a stiff trigger guard pull down, but it had no adverse issues on the functioning of the gun. It was sweet and the new owner loves it.

No...functioning was good...accurate.

My CZ82 trigger guard comes down with little effort compared to my CZ83.

It’s more like “pull toward the muzzle and down” action than just “down” when I take it apart. From memory (caution), I think there’s a tab on the top of the guard that needs to clear an opening on the frame before it’s pulled down. There’s a CZ-USA video that specifically says to do that so make sure you’re doing that instead of just pulling the guard down.

Great CZ disassembly and assembly video. I used it to change the extractor.

This video needs it's own thread!

I am also looking for CZ 83 mags for my pistol chambered in .32 ACP but no luck.

Mags for the CZ 82 and 83 are interchangeable. They are pretty scarce, but sightings do occur. Keep watch here and the usual reputable surplus retailers.
