Default A couple of rare 952-3s in 9X21

Thanks to handgunner356, I was recently able to purchase a pair of 952-3s in 9X21 caliber.
Both have 5" barrels, LPA sights, and were made in 2006 for export. The blue is product code #170291 and the SS is #170256. Thanks

Default VERY nice!

The finish on the blue version looks like a nice rich deep blue. Other than the caliber, any differences from the 952-2??

That's interesting because your stainless 952-3 serial number is not far off from my stainless 952-2, I purchased in 2006.

Unlike most runs of PC pistols, The 952 series has only had 2 serial number prefixes for all the different product codes.
The KAZ which includes the 952, 952-1, and SS prototypes
The DAB which includes all the various -2 and -3 models and prototypes

It makes it difficult to judge production figures on individual product codes
The KAZs went over 1500
The DABs are probably up to the same by now
