CZ 83 for EDC

[sharpshooter555]

Here is my 83 that I am setting up for EDC.


I got it about a month ago in a trade, I definitely came out on the better end. So far I have had Meprolights installed, swapped out the grips, picked up an extra mag and some Speer Lawman 95gr TMJ. There are still a few things I need to get.

  1) Holster? I am kind of leaning towards the Falco shoulder holster system, where the holster can be         detached and used a  a belt holster. Any input would be appreciated.
  2) Extra mags? I see that on Gunbroker, "robertsontradingpost" the seller has 3 factory CZ 82/83 mags for $88.00 shipped. Is that a good price for factory CZ mags?
  3) Wolff recoil spring? Jury is still out on that one, still need a little more range time.
 
I appreciate any input that any other members might have especially first hand. Thanks.

I don't like your pen.

That's a good looking 83.  I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Nice looking pistol.  I am sure it will serve you well.

On the magazines from Robertson's -

Read through this thread for some information:  http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=61146.msg403281#msg403281 and user opinions.  I bought several from Robertson's and have one left that is new in the package.  The floorplate is labeled "Mfg. CZ".  The other two function for me as noted in the post.  If you are interested in trying one of these from Robertson's before buying multiples, I can sell the remaining new/unused one http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=406989079  for my cost of $28.00 plus shipping.  I believe the USPS rate would be right at $4.00.  Send a private message if interested.

That's a sweet 83...enjoy it.
Is that a cold steel tanto?

[sharpshooter555]

Thanks for the info and offer Bill. The thread was very informative.

For your question big54r, yes it is a Cold Steel tanto, The Kobun.

And I have another question about mags, are the milled floor plate mags with chezck acceptance stamp  very rare? Thanks.

Congrats, good luck on the 83. Mine is sitting at my FFL here in NJ waiting 30 days for me to pick it up. But I did order extra mags from Robertsons and am very pleased with their appearance although I can't yet speak to their functionality. The bottoms are indeed stamped as described in the previous post.

I think Falco is a good choice for a holster. I bought a double shoulder rig for a brace of CZ 75's and I'm happy with it. I also bought a cross draw for a Sig 228. Both are very well designed, especially the roto tilt shoulder rig. The materials used are not as heavy duty as Galco offerings but I believe these systems will age well. I've bought several guns from Robertson's and was very satisfied with their service. The only mag I bought from them was a Mecar for the 228.

Appreciate all the input so far. I went on ahead and ordered the Falco shoulder rig today . See how long it takes. I like the fact that you can use the holster as a belt holster too. I had a Falco shoulder rig before for a Bulgarian Mak that I use to have. So I know they are a good fit and quality is there as well.

I hope that you're not talking about some of those magazines stamped "mfg cz" on the bottom. If so, good luck. Those are some kind of Chicom or Outer Mongolian knock-offs and are not ?esk? Zbrojovka products. A lot of people have been burned on them. The only mark I've seen on real ?Z magazines are the ones with the military crossed swords stamped on the back near the bottom.

It took a good six weeks to get my Falco order, I hope your's come in sooner. Good stuff,  good luck.
