I gave in a got my CZ-52 on my C&R FFL about last November, and have been having an interesting time with it.
for one thing, a lot of the milsurp 7.62X25 ammo was loaded for submachine guns and has notoriously "hard" primers, so the misfire rates you had are not unusual. It varies by country of origin and lot, but almost all of it is problematic to some extent.
the accuracy you are gitting is pretty good - some people report excellent accuracy, others not so hot. Mine is in the latter category, but I am finding that it takes a different hold and trigger management than my .45, and takes some getting used to.
My bore also slugs a little oversize - .310", so reloading with appropriately sized bullets might help.
the wandering pins are also endemic with this pistol - particularly the trigger pin. You are the second one I have heard of who has had an extractor "walk" out on them.
Installation of a Federal competition firing pin has improved my trigger pull immensely, and a 16.5 # recoil spring from Makarov.com seems to reduce the "battering" of the mechanism somewhat, and small parts, pins etc. seem less inclined to come loose or fall off when all that jarring is softened a bit.
It also keeps my ejected casings within a half-acre plot so I don't have to hike too far to police them up.
I'll try to paste some of my favorite online resources for the CZ-52 here to share with you all:
Thanks, Uncle Jaque,
I did a little research on the ammo in Janes Infantry Weapons and the little cardboard boxes packs of 70 aren't Yugoslavian, they're Serbian. The ones I have are stamped with a little pi and then a little row (looks like a lower-case r) and the year of manufacture, in this case 1957. Manufacturer: Igman Zavod, Kragujevac.
What is beginning to make the most sense to me in this mystery is a suggestion by one Keith W on the C&R FFL forum (August 1998) that these ''dots'' are the results of metal hardness tests done upon rehab of the firearms simply to check the integrity of the metal and to test for metal fatigue! -kirbyTheOG
