Safety Note |
| The Vz-52 is over 50 years in
age. It is not recommended for safety reasons de-cocking
of the pistol's hammer be done while a cartridge is
loaded in the chamber. There is a slight chance of
primer ignition if trigger, safety, or hammer parts are
worn or broken. In any case always treat the pistol as
if it were loaded and make sure it is pointed in a safe
direction before de-cocking the hammer. |
