May trade a pistol...

[juniustaylor]

I'm thinking of trading my CZ-52. While I think it is a neat looking gun and I like the caliber, I am thinking that I want something different. It doesn't hold the same place in my heart as my other guns. What are some different pistols I could think about trading it for? Thanks fellas.

It's a 1954 edition. The original barrel is slightly pitted from corrosive ammo. I bought a new barrel recently and installed it. Haven't shot it again since.

My guess is most the guys at this site can look at it and be able to tell everything about it. I am real new at this type of thing. It looks like someone probably did some sort of refinishing. Did they and can you tell me what was used? How many mags come with it and are they available for sale somewhere? Here is a real telling question. What type of bullet does it use? Are you thinking of trading it for a P64?

What are you looking for? Modern? Surplus?

How about the Yugo M88? Its a yugo TT in 9mm. I've been thinking about one of these.

I recently sold off quite a bit of stuff to attain a Colt Combat Elite. It's going nowhere except to my little guy when I'm too old and crusty to hold it. If you don't have a nice 1911, maybe now's the time.

These guns were normally a parkerized looking finish. When they got arsenal refurbished they were blued. Some folks think the pre-refinished ones are better, I don't see what makes them think so??? It only has 1 magazine, they're hard to come by and are expensive. It shoots 7.62x25mm Tokarev ammo. I don't want to trade it for a P-64, I bought one of those already. I kind of like the looks of the CZ-82.

If I could find a 9mm conversion barrel for this, I'd probably keep them. They don't make the 9mm barrel anymore. I suppose if I had the means of coverting one of my barrels to 9mm, then it would be worthwhile to keep. I think I'll stick with surplus. I don't think the re-barrel would work due to the chamber. The 9mm is 19mm but the 7.62 is 25mm. Darn.

@dfunk, the 1911's seem neat, I would consider one but I get annoyed when I shoot them. The brass flies randomly out of the ejection port and ends up hitting me in the head, going down my shirt, etc. They are fun, but I just get annoyed. I suppose the other pistol I may consider would be another cap-n-ball one. Probably a Remington 1858 .44 caliber. That would be a good one to add to my collection.

Thanks guys so far for your opinions.
