CZ52 has a thin chamber limiting its strength and making the Tokarev the stronger of the two. Separate issue from the roller locking mechanism which seems to do well unless you get a bad roller, but there are (were at least) high quality replacements available.

I got the impression the sight is meant to be tempered and curved to make it a spring pushing up that you have to screw down to lower. I don't know at what point in the process that's supposed to happen.

Hand checkered hammer, inside of the loading gate scalloped, DX front sight base, Maximum length ERH.
Those are just little things. I'd have no complaints as-is.

Whatever the answer I don’t think a gun should be involved, so for that reason I’d not call for police.
The non-emergency line or MHMR might be a better call.
No way of knowing if it’s drugs or mental health stuff or both.
I had a similar experience at Auto Zone yesterday. Woman came in certain an Apple Air Tag had been planted at her place and looking for “someone good with technology” to help find it.
What you can do is support local programs and politicians that cater to these needs so that when you call 911 there is a system in place to help these people.

Liver and lung bases present a moving target on a stationary animal. Every medical student is taught where the diaphragm is in inhalation and at exhalation so that when gun shot victim comes in the door, you can decide if this is an abdominal wound, chest wound, or potentially both. ![](https://i.ibb.co/JxgDBTV/Diaphragm-Function.png) A shot too far back on a deer means you don't know exactly what you might hit. Vital structures definitely, but lung bases or liver leave a lot of room for a deer to sprint. A deer without a pancreas can still get itself lost in thick brush. Practice looking at your quarry with x-ray vision, an anatomy drawing by your side.

The best buys in the DA market now are older Colts like the OMM, OMT, PPST, and similar from that era- 1920-1960s. The 3-5-7 is usually a great buy.
I'm interested in a new Python, but only if there's room in the cylinder to become a 10mm or 41 special.

Seems like my quickest kills have come from chest shots 2/3 of the way up the torso. Too high for the heart, which lives from just inside the rib cage closest to the ground up about 5 inches. Right above that are the great vessels- everything coming and going to the heart, left and right side plus lungs. Trash those vessels, the heart keeps pumping everything into the void that was the lungs. Bullet travels close to or clips the spine, perhaps with bone or bullet shrapnel, and the CNS shock drops an animal straight down. A deer shocked in the spine might drop, drag, and get up to run off, but not in the setting of destroyed major vessels, and actual spinal destruction will not be recovered from. As a bonus, this is where the muscles of the shoulder blade are thinnest and there's essentially no meaningful meat loss and the heart is intact for dinner.
All that said, there's lots of ways to kill, lots of anatomy that is mortal, and, barring a CNS shot, whether a deer drops or runs seems to be up to the individual deer's will to escape.
I have friends who, when hunting an area where a deer running 50 yards might mean hours of searching and lost deer, that rely on neck shots with high velocity fragile bullets. I don't fault them.

The real No 1 prototype rifle
Ruger's version turned out pretty good- ejector, tang safety, internal hammer, improved lever latch. All it lacks is easy takedown, but money can fix that.

I blame the head cold and my inability to appreciate scale on the Single Six.
Sounds like you've got a little cough yourself. Might wanna get checked out 😂

Looks perfect to me
Except the barrel since I apparently voted 6.5. Really gonna cost you on the quick draws.

Meaning sell your gun to a member in Texas for pennies on the dollar, let them enjoy it with a spare grip frame while ivories are being fit, then buy it back taking into account the added value.
