Design and Controls

This listing shows a CZ 83 with a manual safety lever that engages in single-action. That control configuration gives the shooter a consistent, deliberate trigger break when the safety is used to carry the pistol in a single-action posture. The safety’s placement and tactile engagement are intuitive for most shooters, letting you render the pistol safe or ready quickly while maintaining a positive mechanical interface.

Ergonomics and Condition Notes

The grips show some nicks and blemishes consistent with service wear; the listing notes the finish has blemishes and visible rust spots with light pitting. Those surface issues are cosmetic but worth factoring into value and long-term maintenance plans. Light pitting and rust can often be treated by a competent gunsmith; plan for a cleaning, inspection, and possible refinishing if you prefer corrosion-free metal surfaces.
