Are Cz-52's worth owning if I can find one under $250??? I want to add another handgun to my collection but I've only been able to hide $250 from my wife. 0 -
Their descent high quality pistols. If you can get your hands one of the original unreworked Models for $250, jump on it. Generally you can tell the original ones that haven't been rearsenaled by the finish, (Gray Parkerized), and the lack of rework markings on the frame.
The ones that have been rearsenaled have a much darker blue/black finish, and the rework markings. There is nothing basically wrong or dangerous about them, just that a lot of them are well worn, with a high round count. The Czech 7.62 X 25 ammo is really hot stuff, a pistol with a high round round count with this stuff, has a good chance of being really loosey/goosey.0 -
It would be a Nice Piece to show off as a Display piece..I personally never cared for the Feel in My hand..it always felt like it had a weight on the Muzzle...It might feel better in Your hand...? Its deffinately a Strong Action....I remember when You could Buy a CZ52 from J & G Guns in Prescott, Arizona for under $50.00...They are beginning to disappear from the Market...The choice is Yours.....Best.. 0 -
Thanks for the info guys 0 -
I agree with Rufe, get an early Parkerized CZ52 and you can't go wrong. With these guns you play the "dot" game. Look on the top of the slide between the front and rear sight and you should see none, one, two or three dots. No dots, originial gun and usually like it came out of the factory. One dot, one visit to be redone through the arsenal, two dots and so on. I have one of each and interesting the one dot shoots better than the others! They are powerful and a load to carry CC, but make those at the range sit up and listen when you start to hit targets! I have heard that they are brittle and break firing pins but I have not had that problem. I have shot both light and heavy loads (the old CZ 1500 ft per sec stuff) and all handle it with ease. But I have had mine for years and don't like the looks of the new ones coming through now as they look well worn. So, ty to get an older one and you should be able to get one for $200-250 and at that price, a real buy in my book. And they look good with new walnut grips as the factory grips look like someone beat a post with them. Good shooting! 0 -
I have two and love them, out of all the times I go to the range it never fails that one of the CZ 52's makes the trip.
They are a real blast to shoot, real flame throwers and attention getters.
A great gun to own and shoot for the money, they will shoot right through steel with the right ammo.0 -
Gary, I have three but only two in front of me. One is park and one is blue and neither have a dot on topside. Park sn is G06604 & blue is FK13422. Any way to tell if it is original finish?? Tom 0 -
TCCox...interesting. After reading your post I ran to the safe to check my three out...all are parkerized as mentioned and the youngest is eight years old. My one dot (T12108)is the most accurate at the range and the one that I carry sometimes. That both of yours have not gone through the arsenal process is usally good as the CZ forces just shipped many unused pistols to the US many years after they completed production, which lasted only two years or so. The pistol was replaced by the Mak's produced in CZ as the 52 fired the "old" Soviet round. Perhaps your "no dot" is "freshened up" CZ although sometimes the dot(s) are really hard to see even in the Parkerized old guys. I think the folks importing the "new" CZ52's think that customers like the new rather blued look, but the old ones for my book are the best. Good shooting! 0 -
So should I pass all together on a more recent one, or are they still worth owning?? 0 -
Drgonzo, by all means get one. Better yet, get your C&R license and get them delivered to your door. I don't have my figures in front of me what I paid but J&G sales has the CZ82 in good cond for 179.00 (9x18).
Tokarev for 200.00. Naturally you got to pay shipping.
I got my cz52's from sog and I can't remember what I paid for them but I bought couple of years ago. Tom0 -
I really want to get a C&R, but I find it easier to hide new gun purchases from the wife if they come home in a bag and straight to the safe as I'm rarely the first to the mailbox[:D] I've been thinking about the 9x18 ammo, but it doesn't seem as affordable as the 7.62x25 Tok cartridge is. And I've already got an expensive .45/.40/9mm/44mag habit to feed. 0
