CZ 52

[nagant50]

I have owned a couple of those pistols loved them very lite recoil. They are very nice and would recommend them to anyone.

They are widely available and cheap! Grab one, while available!

Ok, after almost two months gone behind, I got my CZ-52 today afternoon... cooling period was sooooooo long, that I'm totally burned up & can't say that I'm very emotional about this gun...
Anyways, here are some pictures; I've installed new wooden grips already & one of the magazines has extended bottom plate, so overall the gun looks pretty impressive...

The trigger is interesting, to say politely....
I've complained about Glock's trigger, well, this one even worse...)))
By far it is THE EASIEST pistol to disassemble partially (remove the slide from the frame...), in fact it is so easy that I was a bit concern at first, if it is normal..., but no, it is indeed very easy to take down & it is designed this way. To remove the barrel from the slide is a very different story, good luck for any first timer)))), but it is not very bad...

Here are some pictures with my sig p226 & G26, so you would have better perspective regarding the size of this gun....

First pleasant surprise that new extended bottom plate allows to accept one more round is no use since it is not even possible to insert a mag with 9 rounds in to the pistol. I think, if a follower would be 1/8" sorter it would be possible to use 9's round in the mag with extended button plate.

I guess it will be right to compare CZ-52 to Makarov (in size), since both represent Komblock armory...
It is not hard to notice drastic difference in size, yet incredible similarity in outward appearance, though are VERY different pistols inwardly...

Haven't shot it yet, but have purchased today 9mm Luger barrel for this pistol....!!!
As soon as I will have some free time, I will go to shooting range to check on both calibers!

Oh, one more VERY important thing, I've checked a safety & functionality of a decocker of my CZ52 & can say for sure - THE PISTOL WILL FIRE WHEN DECKOCER IS USED! PERIOD! The decocker is basically a thumb trigger...
Now you have been warned. Be safe!
