Another CZ 52 question, ammo

powdersmoke
I have a CZ-70, a nice little pistol. I shoot 32acp through it which I have learned is the US designation for the European 7.65x18. Shoots fine for a little pistol, but that's the problem, it's too little in my beefy hands.

I've been thinking of getting the CZ-52. A little larger and a better fit. I wanted to know is there a US calibre that matches the European 7.65x25. Would the 32 H&R Magnum be a good fit for this pistol or too much for it to handle. The cartridges are similar in size, I believe, but I'm sure that's not the only consideration.

    The common U.S. designation for 7.62 x 25mm is ( .30 Mauser "Pistol Cartridge" ). Note, that it is 7.62 NOT 7.65.

    This is a rimless bottleneck cartridge that dates to the 1890's. It is not interchangeable with the .32 H & R Magnum. The .32 H & R Magnum is a rimmed cartridge specifically made for use in revolvers, it dates to the 1980's. It won't function in the Czech CZ-52 Pistol.

    What's more, a 7.62x25 is considerably more powerful round.

    Powder, before you go buy a CZ 52 let me know because I have 4 to 6 of them. Great pistol but ammo can be a problem in some areas. If yopu want one just e-mail me and we will talk.
