Yeah it was. Kinda wish I had hung onto it lol.
I can get this and a pretty nice CZ52 for $650. Was gonna sell this one off.
Maybe I'll just save my money but I kind of want the CZ52.
I had several CZ-52s back in the days when they were cheap and easy to find.
Carried one in a 1911 OWB holster for a while, until it malfunctioned when I was chambering a round and blew a hole in the floor. Safety was on, booger hook was off the Bang switch, and I had an upgraded firing pin with return spring. Didn’t matter.
They’re fun on the range, but carry ammo was nonexistent.
I was carrying someone else’s hand loads-another thing I’ll never do again.
Trigger is typically miserable, sights are even worse. Mag release is no fun.
But if you want to feel like you’re shooting .357Mangle-um from a semi-auto, enjoy the fireballs and the weird looks of hatred mixed with respect from those on the firing line with you!!
Edit: everyone thinks those roller-lock actions are indestructible, but I had to replace a couple rollers that crushed into abused beer-can shapes from firing that 7.62x25 ammo. I probably put over 1000 rnds through that pistol, which is a lot for what it is, and for what it isn’t.
But on the bright side, I can do pretty well with anything these days, after dealing with the gremlins on those guns.
