Looking at a used 52-2. What in particular should I be checking on this weapon.

Thanks

Condition:

Finish - Blueing worn? Scratches, pitting or rust? Grips not cracked or chipped?

Mechanical - Trigger pull ok (light, crisp and no creep, TP should be 2 to 3 lb maximum, make sure trigger over travel screw is not adjusted too tight causing damaged sear)? Slide rack smoothly and lock back properly on an empty magazine? Magazine realease work properly and smoothly? Safety work? Disconnector work? Magazine disconnect work? Sights not bent or rear adjusted way to one side or another? Field stripping indicate excessive wear on slide rails or barrel locking lugs? Is barrel ringed or bulged from a squib load? Check to make sure barrel bushing threads and corresponding threads in the slide are not buggered up. Magazines in good shape?

Accessories - Make sure you at least get a barrel bushing wrench. Should get at least two magazines. Box papers and manual would be nice but you can download a manual online or I can email one to you.

Hope this helps.

RGPM1A basically covered the field.
