This 52-2 features a 5" barrel, 5 round magazine, Patridge front sight, adjustable rear sight, blue finish, and checkered walnut grips. The S&W Model 52 was introduced in 1963 as the firm's top-of-the-line automatic target pistol.  Designed to fire .38 special wadcutter ammunition, it was very unique in that it used a rimmed revolver cartridge in an automatic handgun. The S&W Model 52 quickly earned a reputation for being an extremely accurate pistol that was very well made and handsome. During the production run of the Model 52 there were two additional engineering changes incorporated resulted in the Model 52-1 and the Model 52-2. This particular example is a Model 52-2, the most refined version of the model. The Model 52-2 incorporated a grooved receiver for removeable counter-weights as well as a new extractor design that reduced breakage and improved reliability. The original gloss blue factory finish on this gun is in excellent condition, rating 96% plus only a few tiny spots of finish wear on the slide and one small sratch along the left side of the frame.  The bore in this S&W is bright with sharp rifling, and shows no imperfections. The factory checkered wood grips are excellent with no visible cracks and very minimal wear. The action on this Model 52-2 is so slick and smooth it feels like the slide is riding on ball bearings.  The barrel and slide lock-up is perfect and tight with no wiggle or sloppiness.  You can really feel how well these guns were made and how expertly-fit they were.  All of the controls on this gun are in perfect working order, including the sight adjustments. Sorry, no box or paperwork.
