I think this is a problem with the Czech naming system. From the info I'm seeing, it was officially the Česká zbrojovka Vz. 82 (9x18mm Mak), but the civilian export version is the CZ83 in .32, .380, and 9x18mm Mak.
The 82 refers to the year it went into service. There are a few brand new ones around, but rare.

Dangling....
Ha ha!
Somewhere I have an Autocad drawing of this, but no longer the program to open it. The stop consists of a drilled and tapped vertical hole in the frame that contact the trigger on the left side. The hole is drilled almost at the back of the left channel milled for the locking rollers. A quick look at the mechanism and you should see how it works. I’d be glad to send you a picture if you like. I’ve never seen a trigger stop on this gun and it improves it a lot. Tried to send the info to a CZ52 website once but there was no contact information. It would probably be a good idea to use my idea but make your own measurements as these pistols might not all be the same.
Oddness isn’t the issue, it’s whether the gun is scary or not.
About right....
Quite fun to shoot...and cheap to shoot too.
Hardly. The StG 44 has a tilting bolt like the SKS, and was designed with stamped steel body. The original AK was designed with a milled steel receiver, a rotary bolt, and still got a higher rate of fire than the StG 44.
