The confusion between the CZ-52 and FN Five-seveN could be because both have a reputation, warranted or not, of being capable of piercing light body armor. And I'd take a CZ-52 over a Five-seveN any day- cheaper gun, cheaper ammo that you can find anywhere, and bigger bullet means more tissue damage, especially with well-designed hollowpoints.
Plus I prefer my guns to be made of steel, wood, and bakelite, not aluminum, alloy, and plastic.
As for women liking bigger handguns over small "women's" or pocket pistols, it's entirely about recoil. Smaller, lighter guns have snappier recoil, even with small calibers (especially the blowback ones), whereas large pistols are heavier (less felt recoil), spread recoil out into more of the hand instead of concentrated in one spot, and gas-action ones have even less recoil.
Plus it might be a power issue, who knows.
As for my CZ-52, I love it. Every time I shoot it, the brass ends up in a neat little pile slightly to my right and about twenty feet straight back.
ETA: I did the whole "google t-72" thing and found nothing but tanks. Did I miss something involving CZ-52 pistols?
