New to me 52-2...

[Oldbird13]

Picked up my latest auction item from my FFL today. Appears it has been shot very few times. Both magazines look great. Bluing is outstanding. Box numbers to the pistol and is in pretty good shape. All tools came with it. FFL said it was packed by a pro...thanks Ward's Collectibles. Anxious to shoot it. Any suggestions/thoughts are welcome. Right now I'm a happy camper.

Commercial ammo can be hard to find. Best to reload for it. They are great shooting pistols.

She's a beaut, Clark!

Very nice! You did well. There's something about the Model 52 that screams quality. I wish I could live up to the gun's standards . . . .

Great Looking 52!! I love the one I have, only problem is, I can't shoot it up to its true potential...It definitely is like a Supermodel on the Beach when I take it to the indoor range.
Gets some attention..

Love my 52-2!

I used GA Arms wadcutters almost exclusively in mine. Excellent performance! I tried the Aguila wadcutters, but had some non-firings with them, so I use them only in my revolvers. I'm not sure Aguila even makes them anymore?

Allow me to suggest before you shoot it to field strip it, wipe it down & oil the crap out of it. A bit of TLC goes a loooooooooong way with a 52, IMO.

Enjoy!!!!

Ladies? & Gentlemen, I just checked the Georgia Arms website for their "wadcutters" and noticed several different types. Is the 52-2 designed for only wadcutters where the bullet is flush with the brass or can you also shoot semi-wadcutters?

 

[Tntcwg3]

Flush seated only.
