The CZ 83 pairs a compact size with an all-steel construction and a 12+1 capacity in .380 ACP. Its DA/SA, hammer-fired action runs on a straight-blowback system with a fixed, pinned, non-tilting 3.8 inch steel barrel.
Ambidextrous controls include a frame-mounted manual safety and a push-button magazine release. The exposed spur hammer, checkered black synthetic grips, and rear-only vertical slide serrations complete the factory configuration.
Sighting is via fixed steel sights: a front blade and a square-notch rear. The slide is marked "MOD. 83 CAL. 9 Browning," consistent with the .380 ACP chambering. The pistol retains its factory black finish over its steel frame, slide, and receiver.
Markings include "MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA," a Czechoslovak proof mark with a two-digit "86" frame date code, and a C.A.I. GEORGIA, VT import stamp. A 12-round steel double-stack magazine with visible witness holes is included.
