Off topic.....P-83 Vanad at the range

Post by steve98664 »

Finally got my P-83 out to the range! What a great shooter!

Its larger than my P-64 and I do like the feel of it. This is the next generation pistol for the poles after the P-64. The frame is solid, but the manufacturing style for a P-64 frame is definitely more solid (cast). Much better recoil feel on this one compared to a P-64 though. I think my accuracy with this pistol will be just a bit better than a P-64 since I can grasp it better.

I tried out RAM FMJ, S&B, and Hornady XTP. Good feel on all of these rounds.

I've been looking for a P-83 Vanad for some time. I don't know why these aren't plentiful as Poland goes to the Mag-95.

Al Hoffmeyer had one anyhow! I think he still has the Vanad and a Mag-95 advertised on his website, though he said he doesn't have either pistol type anymore. He referred me to Dalvar, who doesn't haven them anymore either...

Borrowed this picture from another post since its exactly the same as mine.

Appears that Tad at Dalvar does have one of these! He has it on GB, but the buy now is high. Maybe this was one of his own?
