I love my CZ-52. I chrono'd it at the last shoot that I went to and it was very consistent at around 1500 fps. The sights are the one thing that I really DON'T like about them. They're too small and hard to see in low light conditions. When I'm shooting outside in the daytime then it's not a problem but the indoor range that I frequent is very dark so it can be hard to see them. Overall I love it, though. Good luck finding a better pistol for under $150 these days.
