mags for 32acp cz-83
« on: August 28, 2023, 03:14:35 AM »
New to the forum, first post.

Just bought a 32 ACP CZ-83 from Max Arms, very impressed with thr quality of the gun! It only came with one mag, and I'm having trouble finding more.

There's a guy on eBay selling them, but he's asking $175 each!

Would it work to buy .380 mags and bend the feed lips in?

Thanks!

Welcome from Georgia.

Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the sticky posts in the 'New Members' Forum and also the 'Important Information' sub-section.

When I wanted a spare mag for my Model 81 Berretta (32ACP) Classic Firearms had them. Their stock changes all the time, so you need to keep checking.

Apex has 9x18 mags for the CZ-82 which I believe will work equally well with the CZ-83.380:

The Apex mags seem to have the Czech acceptance mark, and so are legit. Stay away from those with a visible seam and no acceptance mark; they are cheap Chinese knockoffs and will cause nothing but headaches.

I feel your pain, I had a beautiful CZ-83 in 32 acp, but the lack of mags forced me to sell it.

Don't buy the ones that say CZ-MFG on them. They are fake and they suck.
