Most pertinent things about the fine Model 52 have been covered very well in this thread. I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but this pistol comes with a unique "dry-fire" feature. I used to compete in Bullseye matches (the genre the Model 52 was exclusively developed for) and, over time, settled for 2.9 grains of Bullseye as being the most accurate in my pistol.

As sort of an aside, years ago I read an account of a tester encountering a serious problem with hollow-base wadcutter bullets, when he experienced a part of the bullet getting lodged in the barrel, creating a potentially dangerous bore obstruction. I'm sure I still have this report somewhere and can recount it here should anyone be interested in it.
