I bought my model 52 at age 65, and sold it at age 67. it was like new, very accurate. Performed flawless if the loads were kept at the minimum length. I just thought it was expensive to shoot, reloads or not. If anything broke, it was going to cost a good amount to get parts and repaired. I also just could not pay the price for original extra colt magazines. Well, I could pay it, but it hurt too much. Also at my age, shooting targets at 25 or 50 yards is a **** shoot. I just don't see well enough anymore. It sure hurts admitting, that I am old and getting older. However that is better than not getting older. Any way I sold it and bought a Colt Match Target, with 6 inch bbl. Very accurate, perfect balance. I just gave it a new home for most of the same reasons as the model 52( no complaints on ammo price).
I'm back to my Ruger Mark II and Model 617. These are both still some of my most accurate, in .22
