I've had this pair since 1980. Hi Standard Trophy Citation with 7 1/4 ' barrel and my 52-2 both bought new back then. The 52 loves DEWC in front of 2.9 grains of Bullseye. All cases are trimmed to 1.124" OAL and the bullet flush seated with a roll crimp. Once I figured out the length it became totally reliable.
About 1982 I started shooting the IPA or IDPA police course and modified all of my magazines, lengthening the slots so that they will hold 6 rounds. A holster for a 39 will hold the 52 perfectly. After a year or so, I got a Colt 45 for the IPA and went back to using the 52-2 only for Bullseye. They are an extremely accurate gun.
