NIB nickel CZ-83

Please forgive me for saying this but I actually prefer the looks of the Beretta to the CZ, but the draw of the nickel finish on the CZ is undeniable.

No problem... the Beretta 84 FS is indeed fine looking pistol. Now that I'm looking at it, I'd like to have one myself!

The bottom line is that you get what you really want within your budget.

Good evening, NRA1945.

It really is a tough decision right now.  The Beretta I found is standard blue for $700 after tax.  Nothing special, really, and it would break my heart if I happened to have something at that price marred due to any mishap while handling.  The CZ, on the other hand, will run me $540 after shipping and transfer fee plus it's nickel.  While not popular now it may become something of a collector's item in later years.  With all that being said I am still no closer to a decision.  Part of me wishes they would both just be sold and I wouldn't have to ponder it any longer.

I think you should get the Beretta so that you can put me in contact with your seller and I can buy the CZ...

The Beretta M84 is one of the finest looking handguns ever made in my opinion. It's been on the want list for a long time. However every time I've had the opportunity to shoot one I've been amazed at the stout recoil, at least to me. When I did purchase a CZ 83 and changed out the trigger guard from square to round I had a double stack 380 that I loved the looks almost as much, but at a better price for a new pistol. The surprise for me was how much smoother the recoil is on the 83 compared to the 84, the steel frame makes a difference. Later when I picked up a CZ82 I found the stouter 9mak chambering reminding me of the 84. I'd get an 84 if the opportunity and funds presented itself. Two sweet pistols.

I paid about 460.00 for my blues one a few years back. U know they really don't wear down to easy with careful handling practices. I also had a nickel Browning bda that was just hands down more pretty than the 84. Purchase piece put me close to 900.00 after tax in CT. I sold for a woeful. $400.00 with custom leather in fine condition. It was gone in a fee days at the shop that bought it from me.
