J&G Sales has a pistol in called the Polish P83, 9x18mm in stock. I never heard of it and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. It looks larger than the P-64.

  It is larger than the P-64, and replaced it in service in the Polish military in the early '80s. I think the "83" refers to the year of adoption. Sometimes these are called a "Radom" pistol.
  
  The P83 itself was replaced later by the p93, and isn't in service any more.
  
  Other differences from the P64, are that the P83 is made of stamped parts to save costs, and has both a decocking safety and a slide lock.
  
  Despite the low-cost construction, the sights on these are pretty good and supposedly so is the trigger pull.
