The CZ-52 (officially the Vz. 52) is a famous Czech military pistol. It fires the high-velocity 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge. Czechoslovakia made over 200,000 of these single-action handguns from 1952 to 1954. Features a frame-mounted decocker and safety lever and uses a heel magazine release. Uses a rare roller-locked short recoil design instead of a standard tilting barrel. This makes the action very smooth
