Welcome to Big Blue! Best gun forum on the 'net, IMO.

Tell us more about that 52-2, and be sure to include some pictures. We LIKE pictures.

I took my bargain-basement 52-2 to the range for the very first time yesterday. Here's a link to the thread that explains why I call it my "bargain basement 52-2" Model 52 sights

Below is my target - first 10 shots (2 magazines) at 10 yards. Using Precision Delta PDP Pro 148gr wadcutters (the only factory wadcutters I could find anywhere in town). 5 of 10 in the black, 9 of 10 inside the 8 ring and all 10 inside the 7 ring. Maybe not great, but not too bad either, IMO - considering the work I had to do just to get a set of functional iron sights. BTW this target was shot with NO adjustments to the sights after initial installation and bore-sighting.

I would like to have shot a couple of more targets, but unfortunately the range where I was shooting prohibits shooting ANY bare-lead rounds other than 22LR. I only found out about that AFTER we got there, so I felt like I was kinda' sticking my neck out and breaking the rules to shoot even these 10 rounds.

I have a couple of hundred copper-plated 148gr Xtreme DEWCs that I need to load up for future indoor range sessions.

So let's see some pics of yours and a target or two once you get the chance...
