CZ 52

Just got my C&R license a few days ago so had to jump into the fray with my first C&R pistol. I ordered the CZ from SouthernOhioGun.com and was very pleased with their service and speed. I got it and 32 rounds of ammo for practice for just over $140. When it arrived, I was wondering if I had a good deal or not. It was not very pretty, had some scuff marks on it and generally looked like a pawn shop reject. I cleaned it up just a bit and went down to the local indoor gun range and gave it a workout (well, as much as a workout as 32 rounds could give it). The first magazine full (8 rounds) were not bad hits at 7 yards, but probably could have been better if I wasn't squinting and holding it well away from any vital organs as I fired it for the first time. Let me tell you, I am most impressed. I know the round is not extremely well suited for personal protection as the round will certainly over-penetrate and could cause some collateral damage, but as far as accuracy and reliability goes, it worked wonderfully well for a 5o year old pistol. There are some spare parts that are recommended that I will acquire, but at the price paid, it would behoove the purchaser to just get 2 so you not only have a spare for all the parts with your parts kit, but you have a spare firearm as well.
