Vz52/Cz52 Czechoslovakian surplus service pistol,

Original firing pins work fine for shooting, but don't dry fire as they are brittle and will break. If you must dry fire use a snap cap.

Machined aftermarket firing pins are available in the US. I keep a new spare for both of mine. Overall, I like the 52 pistol, though I got mine back when they were cheap.
 
Current prices are well above what I would pay for a range gun. I did want one for a long time, paid $400 around 2010 I think. Sold it because it's just not a great pistol. Not that it really matters but I too would say the TT is a stronger design despite the CZ's supposedly more robust roller system.

Can't say which is stronger because I have no way of knowing. It does appear to be very robust. As for not being a great pistol, it isn't by modern standards. I keep it as part of a collection. Just for the history and it does shoot reasonably well. I have attached a couple of pics of it and a couple of other com blocs I have.https://imgur.com/Fh86Uwjhttps://imgur.com/MhhbRWXhttp://https://imgur.com/wjiOSEChttps://imgur.com/J3ZOAEmhttps://imgur.com/Fh86Uwj
