The CZ-52 is a semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured in Czechoslovakia by Česká zbrojovka in the early 1950s. It was primarily used by the Czechoslovak military and police forces. The pistol is chambered for the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge, known for its high velocity and flat trajectory, making it effective for self-defense and military applications. Featuring a unique roller-locking mechanism, the CZ-52 offers a distinctive design compared to other pistols of its time. It has a 12-round magazine capacity and a robust construction, which contributes to its durability. The CZ-52 remains a popular choice among collectors and firearm enthusiasts today.
