But Beretta is launching aberrations like the shitBOX, the broken frame Tomcats, and Walther is still doing a deformed .380acp version of the original PPK. Why can´t CZ relaunch a simple, old, reliable project? The market does exist.
It's possible. Beretta made the 80x, other companies are selling their popular models with metal frames, and .380 seems more popular than it has been in over 10 years. The issue is the originals are still available for $500, so it's not likely that CZ would start making them again.
No chronic failure history
True heritage in multiple countries and environments
Reliable
Right into the 380 fad
Da/Sa with manual safety
Cheap to produce
It would be nice to see, but you know they would frick it up with a pic rail and squaring off the slide for optics mounting. At least they use a better finish than that black paint. If they made a new one just like the original but with better sights, I would be a buyer, for what it's worth. I wish MAC got around to torture testing a CZ 83 or Makarov before he quit doing that, because I want to see one of these pistols put everything else to shame.
New production specifically for the export market and thus higher purchase price could potentially make sense with marketing shit like >proven tech, new manufacturing methods and materials, bringing the ol' reliable into the 21st century, etc.
And bam, you got a 400-500$ pistol
Incredibly unlikely, but not completely unlikely given the moronic tacticool Cheetah release + glass wristed homosexuals bringing .380 back.
Anyways just buy one used, they're cheap.
>buy the first $200 surp pistol you want and convince yourself it's the most based pistol ever designed and that everyone is a fool for not realizing its perfection >Then repeat after you realize how shitty it actually is and find a new perfect surplus pistol
Someday you'll realize that czechoslovakia has only ever made guns as a joke and you'll feel silly
No

The whole market of all 12 of us?
Bro, if there is a market for the deformed PPKs, the disposable Tomcats and even the BOX monstrosities, there is a certainly a market for the 83.
okay
Not from CZ. Also, I thought I just saw a fresh batch of old ones on a couple surplus sites. There's definitely more to come in one day soon.

They should make some mild, even aesthetic improvement and churn these out ASAP. They are losing money.

Those $500 are not goint into CZ´s pocket, and this is a very important point.

In that case, it would be better for them to let it dead.
>because I want to see one of these pistols put everything else to shame.
They actually do.
>The issue is the originals are still available for $500
They are $200 here in Czechia, no chance in hell they will restart production.

Can you buy them factory new in Czechia?

>Anyways just buy one used, they're cheap
I already have two. A brand new one would be a dream come true.
I don't want a rehash of a blowback gun make it:
all metal
locked breech
compact
.380 or .32
and you'll get my money

All I want to know is if they are still produced in Czechoslovakia
I just want a fix for my broken slide stop spring, I cannot for the life of me get the replacement to stay in the gun.
