32 Auto
« on: May 30, 2020, 07:10:54 PM »
Czech CZ83 .32 Auto Pistol
https://aimsurplus.com/czech-cz83-32-auto-pistol/

Do any of you have any experience with this pistol?  Looks like the same CZ 83 I have in 380, but in 32 auto.  The 380 is a good pistol.  I figure this would be a low recoil plinker even if 9mm is still cheaper.  I can at least find 32 in the store.  380 also for that matter.  My local Academy is still cleaned out on ammo in general.  They have a 5 box purchase limit. 

Classic Firearms still has the Beretta in 32, but I generally like CZ pistols.

I have a couple in 9mm Mak.  Love 'em, except for one thing. The grip screws loosen with recoil after just a couple of shots and the grips start to move.  I should really put some loctite on those screws but I'm scared I won't be able to get them off again.  (I know, it shouldn't be a problem if I use the right color loctite)

I think I knew they made them in .380.  I did not know about the .32 version.

stop it Stop it STOP IT!

Last time someone started talking about .32s I ended up with TWO more of the damned things -- a Beretta and a S&W Second Model hand ejector...

I don't know why, but I LOVE the .32s...

I miss my Beretta M1935 in .32, it was a damn near perfect pocket gun for me.

Why carry a .32?  Because they don't make a .33.

How do the single stack .32 Cheetahs compare in size to the 1935? Seems I see them for sale quite often.

I didn't, either. I have a CZ-82 in 9x18 Makarov. Wish I could get a .380 barrel for it. I wouldn't mind having one in .32.

I tried a Beretta 81 once and it was a surprisingly sweet shooter. Effortlessly accurate.

The 1935 is very slim compared to the kitty and not a little lighter.  I really regret needing to sell it.
