Model 52-1

[Qc Pistolero]

In the mid '80,I had bought a model 52.In the foolishness of my youth,I sold it...and of course regretted it.
Today feels like it's Christmas;I just got my new to me 52-1.
Since my wife didn't seem to share my excitement,I thought I'd share with you guys.
And wait,the best is yet to come!I paid $500 for it.Yep,it must be Christmas!

Nice try, but no pics = didn't happen!

Need to see pics of $500 Model 52. Maybe a Canadian thing?

"Maybe a Canadian thing?"
Doubtful, Model 52's of any flavour don't frequently show up for sale up here. I'm sure there is a story, but I concur with everyone else: Pic's or it didn't happen.

My pride and joy is a 52-1 I picked up a few years ago, unfired but no box, tool, or extra mag. Paid more than $500 however.
By the way, what were the dates of manufacture on the 52-1?

Will you believe I'm a computersaur.
Somebody tells me how to post pics and that dino will show that he can put his words where his mouth is.
Thnks!

Thanks for the kind offer 824;I'd rather learn how to do it than to bug you everytime I want to post a photo.If you'd please send it to me I will put the necessary time to learn it
Thanks!

now that I know how,here are some more

At first,I was afraid the BoMar rib would slow down the travel of the slide but it works perfectly with regular target loads.And the thing is way more accurate than I.I've shot aprox 250 rds single hand this week end without a hiccup.
Many fun range sessions coming up!

Looks good!
Now posting pic’s will be second nature!

Yeah well,don't forget it took quite some time for the dinos to grow feathers and fly.But with the help of good people like you,I should make it sometimes.Thanks again.

Yes,I'm in Canada.I've found that for used guns since the demand up here is not the same as in the USA the prices are about on par with US prices;considering our CA$ is worth aprox 30%less,we can find bargains.Of course,we have to pay that 30%premium when we buy new.

Shoot that thang. That's what we do here in the US of A.

300rds the 1st week end I've had it and I intend to put nearly as many this coming week end.Now all I have to do is set one of my Dillons for 38spl with wc.Supply is running low!

Now that's a steal considering the fact that a Model 52 normally sells in Canada for about $1500CDN ($1150US). Who did you steal it from ?

Just to wet your apetite,3 years ago I bought a1956 Python from the 1st owner for $600.The gun had exactly 13 shots fired through it;12 .38spl and 1 .357 Mag.
Must have been born under the right star!
