When I first purchased the gun (from SOG) I bought a spare firing pin since everyone told me..."it will break". So far, +/- 2000 rounds, it still has the original pin. My 52 fires everything but Romanian surplus which hopelessly jams it every time. With other old commie ammo(Czech on clips...
If you want to see something interesting, go to J&G's site. The price on most pistol ammo is marked "Call for Price". So I did. What a surprise! The costs seemed to have jumped over 50%!! "...but we have it in stock!" Hmmm.

Went to the site and found CZ52's at 269(current price 159 everywhere) and Romanian TT33 at over 300 when it is available...
Recently I had a neighbor go on and on about the "...thousands lost in Iraq" and how it was all the Republican's fault. She came here (Tucson) for San Diego(enuf said) and brought her strange thinking with her. I googled crime statistics for the State of California and came up with this: An...
Found a used
Visited my local dealer, here in Tucson, and in one of his cases sat a used (pre-shot) little Ruger. He said he had taken it on a trade for a PPK. It was marked at 275.00 and he said he had had it about two weeks! The guy that traded it found it too small for his hands.
Front Pocket Surprize
My Polish P64 9X18 ,in my own custom made holster ,fits in my front pocket very nicely. It won't fit in tight jeans but, my old butt doesn't like tight jeans anyway.:D
Raven P25
I bought this Raven way back in the seventies and never fired it until a couple of months ago. Raven has such a bad reputation for unreliability. I found that the reputation was well deserved! While cursing it at the range a ahooter next to me told me that the gun needed a new recoil...
Latest find
I just bought a refurbished CZ52 form SOG. Gun was manufactured in 53 and arsenal refurbished in 76. My local gunsmith, Murphy's in Tucson, thinks that the barrel may be brand new. The arsenal also did a sort of parkerized,dark grey finish that looks great. Came with holster, spare...
I was under the impression that it was ok to carry in a national forest ,but not ok in a national park. In fact, there is now some bureaucratic nonsense regarding changing the law so that the carry is legal in both. The nonsense is that the time to get informed opinion has been changed twice. I...
I went to a gun show ,here in Tucson ,recently and was told by a dealer how dead it was. After looking at the prices he wanted for milsurp commie ammo I asked him if he thought that his high prices were the reason for slow sales. He got all upset and insulted. Although I was in the market for...
You know I never have those problems. I go to the range. Fire Czech loads through my 7.62 Tokarev just to watch the muzzle flash and see people duck. After, I go pick up all the ejected brass from all the bays on the right and wish them a happy day. Hey wait a sec! Are you guys talking about me?
I recently purchased a CZ52 from SOG made in 53 and refurbished in 76. Along with the pistol I purchased a few hundred rounds of Romanian arsenal 7.62X25. The price on the gun (119.00) and the ammo (.08 pr rd) were great. On the first try the gun jammed so bad that I had to take it to my shop...
Van's bluing
I recently used Van's on Mauser Model 1914. The pistol had been hand blued (badly) at one time and was so odd that I got a real bargain (close to $100.00). I stripped off the old bluing , grease and general crap and after FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! the end result was good. I...
Went fishing in April in the White Mountains of Arizona. On the west branch of the Black River a young bear decided he wanted my trout more than I did. I agreed and got the hell out of there. I doubt that my ringing a bell or even firing my Makarov would have much bothered him.
