Picked up a nice CZ52

[MinerJohn]

Picked this up over the weekend. All numbers match and looks to be fired very little. Came with 2 original mags and cleaning rod. Holster as well but it's a remake. Anyone have some experience with this gun? If so how do you like it?

One of my favorites! I've got two of them. Pretty dang accurate as I'v made consistent hits at 100 yards. They really fling the brass. If using surplus ammo be sure to do a thorough cleaning as even ammo listed as non corrosive will still be somewhat corrosive. They are great shooters and they are very well made with a roller locking breech. My thumb will sometimes engage the safety under recoil so make note. Too bad there's no more 10cent ammo for them anymore.

CZ-52: This is ancient history and may not apply. Back in the  day I had gotten an nice specimen from the main importer. This gun had a drop safety. If loaded and the hammer dropped the gun would discharge.

There was a recall.  The reason was given that those guns had been refurbished with problems resulting.  These guns are interesting well made firearm. In those early days someday in the homeland had dropped the ball.  I know not to trust any drop safety without a safe tryout.

Do not dry fire it, as it take a chance on breaking the firing pin!

I regret letting mine go....however, I did get a pretty penny for it.
