Should be in today or tomorrow. In the mean time, I have some questions.
How do you take it apart? How do you recommend cleaning it? How do the 9MM barrels from Makarov.com work? Has anyone sent theirs to the makarov.com shop to have sight work done? How was it? Anything else you want to add would be helpful, im sure this will be a fun little toy, and its my first pistol too!!  |

Ditto the warning about the firing pins breaking when dry firing. I have heard of some that broke after one snap. They are brittle.
There are replacement firing pins available. Jim |

Its c&r and a great little gun. |

Welcome to the club.
here's my tip-Try to avoid shooting Czech surplus at indoor ranges.The sparks on the backstop, and the muzzleblast won't be welcomed for long. Meplat- |

There is no external slide release lever. insert an empty magazine, pull slide back and release, ride hammer down with thumb.
Or... Look at the lever/bar type thing on the left side of the frame. Pull slide back, pull downward on bar, release slide. Once again ride hammer dowm with thumb. If you push up firmly on the safety it will act as a decocker but you once again run into the fragile firing pin problem. Also I have heard there have been a few accidental discharges using the decocker so it is best if you pretend it doesn't exist. Editted because I don't know my right from my left. |

The decocker is a bit of an issue.. It is not like modern DC pistols. If you just "tap" it upwards, it may act the same as pulling the trigger (especially with some of the early aftermarket firing pins).
Get in the habit of both pushing and holding the DC up hard,(You'll feel the tension against your thumb as it releases the hammerspring) AND blocking the hammer with one's thumb while doing this. I have been shooting '52's for well over a decade, using the DC, with no AD's.. I've probably been lucky.. Meplat- |
