FRIIIIDAY!!!

Yes, it's finally Friday, which means it's time for some gratuitous gun pr0n...

Today's pick is my other venerable former communist bloc pistol, my CZ-52 (the other being the Makarov from a few weeks back). Here she is in all her Warsaw Pact glory:


I was inspired to post this picture as a result of commenting on a post at Better and Better. Matt G (no relation) had posted a cautionary tale of what can happen when one puts too much in one's pockets. He had some loose .357 Sig rounds and added a couple batteries and very narrowly averted catastrophe (or unintentional hilarity, depending on whose pockets they were...) :)

I saw the .357 Sig rounds, and for a brief second found myself wondering just where Matt found jacketed hollowpoints in 7.62X25mm. Then it dawned on me that it was the more common (especially for law enforcement) .357 Sig...

Thanks for the inspiration, Matt!

Sweet! Now it's confirmed: I'm not the only guy I know with a CZ-52!

Now, to use my Jedi Mind Tricks to lure Jay on a South Texas Road Trip with a small armory in tow and a few hundred rounds of 7.62x25...

Hhhmmmmmmmmm.......

The big question is at the price for the gun and surplus ammo (shiped to your door with a C&R licence) why doesn't EVERYBODY have one : ]

tweaker,

When (not if) I get around to the TX roadtrip, you're on the list (the good list, that is, not the other "You just made the list" list). :)

weer'd,

Tell me about it. Then again, I don't have a Nagant revolver and they're even cheaper (tho' the ammo's MUCH more...)

The CZ-82 is looking to be a future acquisition as well...

Wolf has JHPs in 7.62x25, actually. Sure, it's 18 bucks for a box of 50 but it might be worth it.
