CZ83 in .32 ACP

Not as cheap as the Berreta 81s, but probably significantly better pistols.

Now off to find mags.

Steel frame vs aluminum. Generally more ergonomic with ambidextrous mag/safety, front sight can be adjusted. Both have terrible plastic grips. I replaced mine on the 81.

Thanks. I appreciate the info and the link. How hard is it to source magazines?

Cz has them in stock. $44 each.

Some of these pistols are like ink jet printers. Cheap up front but wait until you have to get a magazine.

I’ve got almost as much money invested in magazines as I do in my Cheetah.

At recent prices around $209.00, the Beretta 81 was a steal, for a fun gun. The pricier CZ is approaching a price point where I would have a harder time choosing it or something in a more powerful caliber. That being said, I've owned both and really glad I kept the Beretta. If you don't own a 32acp, either one would be a great choice and somewhat collectable.

I have a CZ 50 and A Beretta 81. I Wouldn’t part with either. Recently found 81 mags for $20. Will look around for the link.

where did you get your 81 grips?

I found G10 grips for a CZ 53 that we’re awesome. I wish he made them for the 50 and 81

Altamont has aftermarket grips. Most are laminated wood but look good. They are interchangeable with the Beretta 84.
