Just curious if anyone can give me any feedback on this. I just ordered two from SOG today. This will be my first C & R purchase with my license.

Good gun, though check the safety with a skinny pencil or dowel before trusting it. They frequently don't work properly and allow the hammer to fall when the trigger is pulled. Could create a really bad "Oh crap" moment.

It's pretty much the same thing as a TT-33, it was just made in Yugoslova not Poland. I have a TT-33 and am very happy with it. I will say that it does have a different "grip angle" than most other pistols i've used, but it's a very solid and reliable firearm as long as the safety works like Wakkoss said. The safeties are not original, they were required to be installed so the pistols could be imported to the USA.

I just converted a CZ52 mag. Only cost around $22.00 and a few minutes of time . Works perfectly.

How did you do it? Is there a website with Directions or is it something simple to do?

Sorry been in Minnesota since the 23rd. Any how I found a write up online some place dont remember were. Either way it was real easy. I took the cz-52 clip and layed it on top of my md clip. Took a marker and marked were the cut out was for the mag lock. Pulled out the dremmel tool and cut it out. That was it. Works flawlessly.
