CZ USA has posted their list of discontinued products for 2013. On that list is all four of the CZ 83 SKUs they currently sell. It looks like they will no longer be importing the CZ 83. CZ USA touted the “moderate weight” of the CZ 83 as an advantage over the light polymer carry pistols of their competitors. At 28 oz it is a fair bit heavier than even other all steel carry pistols like the Walther PPK/S (22 oz).
