My century CZ-52 pistol report

[whos2kno]

Well it finely came in.at first I thought it looked ugly but after awhile it looks pretty cool.
came with holster, gun,and 2 clips
the barrel is "NEW" looks like it has been never fired out of.the blue is 99+.with only one place where it has a wear mark.
question time
when I put in #1 clip and cock it back and then take out the clip out everything is fine.
when I put in clip #2 in and cock it back and then take out the clip the slide slams forward.I don't think this is right!!!
any inf. on the slamming when you take clip# 2 out would be grateful.
thanks

P.s. thanks mom i love you

1. Sweet!!!! I have to wait for the Jan 5th to get mine from the dealer, Century had some nice ones. I can decide weather to pick up the Makarov first or the CZ?

2. Help me out guys, Remember gun a month for pistols in the Soviet Republic of South Carolina.

Dear W2K-Never had the problem you described with my CZ-52,but I would check the spring tension and follower on the second mag,as this is what pushes against the slide stop to hold the slide open.I'm guessing that you should just replace the mag,or at the bare minimum replace the mag spring.Also look for any crap or burr that might be preventing the follower from traveling all the way up.The slide stop spring can also slip when you remove and replace the grips,and this can cause the slide to not lock back!The trigger pivot pins have a tendency to drift and the hammer pivot pin nuts have a tendency to loosen!Trust me on this one!I had to tighten and restake the hammer pin nut and stake the trigger pivot pin on the inside before drifting it back in.I would ALWAYS check these guns after you fire them to ensure nothing has rattled loose or drifted.They are fun guns but do have their idiosyncracies!My .02 worth:)-Gearhead.

Just one more thing to add is not to trust the decocking lever I have heard of some slam fires from using it.

It happens! I replaced the issue firing pin with a custom comercial model off the Markarov.com site. I tried to get it to AD using the decocking lever. After several failed attempts I consciously gave it up, but habit had gotten in the way and I was using the decocking lever to safe the weapon. Had a discharge, but was not scared shitless as I ALWAYS practice good firearm safety (because of my first AD), I didn't even count it as an AD.
I have been trying to get an AD with the issue firing pin in another weapon, no such luck (yet), but I still don't trust 'em.
For those who say, "I've never had an AD." If you handle weapons a great deal it's just a matter of time.

whos2kno,
Geargead222 has given you what I believe is correct advice about the slide lock back on mag 2 thing. IMO the follower can't be pushing the slide catch far enough up to engage fully in the notch that retains the slid back.
