For fans of 32ACP

Den's cut down loaders for 22 work great for 32 also.

Took some doin' , but finally was able to put together a nice package. Found a Praha? holster on ebay. NOS.

From a YouTube video of the Zili Praha CZ 82/83 Holster, it appears it replicates the original military version.
scotsal you should put this in the What holsters fit the CZ 82/83? “stickie”
I wasn’t able to find to find this type during my search. I chose a Barsony ambidextrous OWB, which happens to fit perfectly.
What I noticed was there are metal fasteners, which could come in contact with the pistol. This situation is similar to mine. I took an “unlost” glove and cut out some patches. I contact cemented them over the fasteners.

Thanks for the advice! Yep there is a steel button face on the high, right side. It look like you can avoid it if you holster slowly, but I'll look to put some felt or some such over it per your pic.  (Yes , I'll post some holster pics on the holster thread. )

Good price but they are the 380 version.

[bonj]

the pic doesn't look to be good to very good condition to me

[scotsal]

Yeah it looked like you would at least want to get the slide re-blued.
 
On my .32, I am thinking of an FO sight on this to bring it up to  the same sight pic as my others. I was resisting for the sake of historical accuracy, but it is such a great pistol , it deserves more range time, and I thought that a new front sight would help my (personal) accuracy?)

Import mark looks to be under the trigger guard.  If you can figure out who imported, you can get an idea of other retailers that might have better condition items.  As best as I can recall, Centerfire rarely has mint milsurp guns...  They compete on price/volume, not quality.  And most importers have several grades/cost available at wholesale for retailers.

Did anyone get 1 of the aims CZ 83's and 32 ACP and if so how is the condition of the pistol?  I would like the information in considering whether to buy anything from them in the future.

[scotsal]

Hi Robert, I bought my .32 from Aim (Not the last batch but the one before that). Yes I am very happy with the one I received. I believe they rated it "good", but I think it could pass for "VG" any day. It could just have been luck of the draw, but I'll bet it's worth more than the $350 (all in) that I paid for it. Good luck! Scott

[scotsal]

Mine is from the same importer so maybe that was a pristine batch. I cold-blued over the lettering and it mostly disappeared
