CZ 83 .380 ACP Compact DA/SA, All-Steel, 3.8 inch Barrel, 12+1, Ambidextrous Controls
This CZ 83 is a compact, all-steel .380 ACP pistol with a fixed-barrel blowback system and fully ambidextrous controls. It features a 12+1 capacity, drift-adjustable sights, and classic CZ field-stripping by tilting the trigger guard. Czech proof marks and a CZ-USA Kansas City KS import mark are present, and the slide and barrel hood show matching serials. It comes with two 12-round magazines.
The slide has rear serrations and an anti-glare rib, and the pistol wears a dark polished finish with black checkered synthetic grips.

The CZ 83 uses a fixed-barrel straight-blowback operating system in .380 ACP, delivering a compact form with an all-steel slide and frame. The 3.8 inch barrel is fixed to the frame, and the pistol employs conventional right-hand rifling.
Controls are fully ambidextrous, including the manual safety and push-button magazine release. The pistol operates in DA/SA with an exposed spur hammer, and the slide locks open after the last round.
Sighting is straightforward with a fixed setup: a fixed blade front with a painted reference and a drift-adjustable rear notch in a dovetail. The slide adds rear serrations and an anti-glare rib for practical handling.
Finish is dark polished over steel with black checkered synthetic grips. The slide bears the European caliber marking "9 Browning Court," and the pistol shows Czech proof marks along with a CZ-USA Kansas City KS import mark. Matching serials appear on the slide and barrel hood.
Capacity is 12+1, and this example includes two double-column steel magazines. Field-stripping follows the classic CZ method by tilting the trigger guard.
