Well, not exactly new. I got it last fall, but the picture is new. CZ-83 .380 auto. I'm glad I bought a few hundred rounds when I bought it because everyone is complaining about a .380 ammo shortage. I really like this gun.

I like. I've been wanting another more "substantial" 380; as light and thin as the KelTec is, it can be a tad sharp on the palm of the hand.

How does this compare with say, a Bersa?
 
I have a Colt Pony Pocketlite 380 from the Colt custom shop. It came with real sights, trigger job, and custon wood grips. I really like this pistol but don't carry it because it has esclated in value. I have been looking for a Ruger LCP mouse gun that I can stick in my pocket. There are none to be found. Most of the gun shops here have a waiting list.

I tried a Bersa and a PPK (rentals) before I purchased the CZ. The Bersa was not as well finished, had a poorer, grittier trigger and had several failures to feed. However I've heard about a lot of other Bersa's that functioned very well.
The PPK functioned pretty well but wasn't as smooth. Price was the deciding factor.
The CZ has been 100% as far as function. The DA pull is long but very smooth. Accuracy is good enough for me to hit about 80% of falling plates at 25 yards.

I've always considered anything under 9mm Parabellum as a mouse gun.

I have a Cz-82, basically a sibling of the CZ-83. Major differences are caliber (the CZ82 is 9x18mm) and rifling (the CZ82 uses polygonal). The 9x18mm version also holds only 12rds in the mag instead of 13.

It points well, but is no light weight. Nice thing is that if someone is used to a 1911, these lend themselves well to cocked and locked carry and will even fit in some 1911 holsters.
 
Mine is a NAA .22 LR. Bought it several years ago.Load 2 snake shot & 3 Long rifle hollow points when I was metal detecting in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Would peel a snakes head @ 5 od 6 ft. Still have it with my CCW here in the North West. And Yes, I've found a lot metal detecting. How about a 1854 quarter & a 1988 dime sound?
 
my mouse guns are as follws 25acp astra 22 shot an a model 67 -1 smith an wesson easy to carry an conseal just my two cents worth ,any thing biger is not a mouse gun , but do have a berta not a big gun with the 13 round clips or mags what ever works for you to carry
 
dick did u keep the coins an what shape were them in , some good stuff to find out there sill , most i found is a 2 cent pice of a indian penny along a river bank
 
Boo,
I like yours too. They only had blue in stock when I bought mine.
 
Nice.. I like .380's myself. Makes a perfect
"pocket" pistol. Bad guys see a gun, they don't
care what caliber it is.. Most will go away.
If they don't, just apply medicine as many times
as needed to cause them to change their mind.

My wife wants to know where you found such a small gun. :D
 
Here's my little mouse popper and all the ways I love to carry it. It rides and hides just fine on the beach or at a BBQ in cut-off Jeans, tank top and flip flops. It's also my church gun. ;)
