Me, too: I wanna find an 83 in .32 ACP ? where?
« on: September 04, 2014, 11:54:54 PM »
For medical reasons I'm off stout calibers for a couple months, and I was looking for something in .32 ACP, preferably the item in the thread title. Nowhere to be found, I wound up "settling" for a much, much nicer than expected (the photos were semi-dodgy) Colt 1903, for which I've found a holster and spare magazine. Nonetheless, I'd love to get an 83 in .32 ACP to go with the 9mm Mak one that I already have. There's nothing like avoiding holster multiplication and comparisons from the wife to shoes and purses, right? Any ideas?

Good luck.  I'm glad I snagged one the last year they were made.  15 + 1 rounds of low recoil (62% reduction in free recoil energy relative to your 9 Makarov) lethality with FMJ cartridges.

So, the answer is, "From Skookum", then?

The secret to finding that elusive CZ model, whichever one you happen to be looking for, is to be vigilant about searching the usual websites every single day.  One is sure to show up on Gunbroker or Armslist.

There were 2-3 that popped up on Gunbroker within a short span back around June-July. Before that, I think there was a drought that went back to last Fall so be vigilant and persistent per Birds Away's advice.
