Anybody with cz52 experience wanna chime in here? I just got my first. The bottom plate fell off the mag twice at the range today (spring fell out as well). Stayed close to home (at my feet), but still a little disconcerting. Is this a common thing?
 
I've seen it happen. There's another part besides the spring that comes out too and it's what locks the bottom plate in place so you may be missing that piece as well.

My bad. I was thinking about a different mag. I've never seen the inside of a 52 mag so I don't know how it's supposed to lock into place. :eek:

Had this issue once. I just took a small punch and staked the plate on the mag body lips on either side, no more problems!
 
check the body, is it crossed swords or a triple K aftermarket
if it's a triple K, well, enough said
otherwise, sounds like you are missing the locking insert.
 
It only came with the one mag. Reckon you're right about the insert. Gonna need some more mags for it anyway. I hope I can find originals for a reasonable price. She's a snappy little girl, by the way.

Thanks for the suggestion of staking the base-plate. I'll do that tonight.
