Alright yall, I wanna hear what everyone has to say about the CZ 52

Great gun, great round. Both made better through handloading!

Not very ergonomic, but a hoot to shoot. The sights are what you would expect from a 50's designed military pistol, but what a hoot to shoot.

Did I mention that it's fun to shoot. In all seriousness it's a very well designed pistol, the grip is a little bit of a reach due to the length of the round, and with my old eyes the sights are next to useless. However it does shoot reasonably accurately, plus at dusk you can have fun watching the fireball at the end of the barrel.

KLN, I don't know how you can reload for it, mine chunks the brass about 15 feet right and behind, I need a spotter to find any cases.

Buy extra firing pins ! Interesting design as are many Czech guns.

Great gun. I've had several, but the most recent one bought seems to be the best. Very accurate. Really a hoot to shoot. Very high quality and intersting design. The only weakness I know of is the firing pins. Careful not to dry-fire, they break easily.

Lee makes dies for the 7.62x25 I think, and breass is also available. S&B ammo is fairly cheap and reloadable

Yeah I am just learning how to shoot this pistol, it shoots completely different than any other pistol i own. It seems that most of the weight is near the rear of the gun. That pistol feels every little flinch or movement i make. I keep shooting low, i dont know wether i want to file the front site a little or try working on my hold a little longer. It sure is fun to shoot, and almost as amusing watching that sucker fling shells half a mile

Bguy: Was it some of the hotter stuff? http://www.gunsprings.com/1ndex.html

Over at CZ Forum we had agood discussion on the use of Remington Accelerators for pest load. Should be page 2 or 3!
