I purchaced a $89.00 special CZ 52b from Aim about a week ago and have been having a problem with it. It was in prety good shape visually with normal holster wear on the corners and minimal wear to the slide etc. It feels tight and everything functions manually.
The problem is that about one round in every magazinte locks up the pistol with the slide about .5 in from going into battery. The slide won't move without much jerking, banging and assorted bad language. I really don't like treating a loaded pistol the way I have to to get the slide to work. The round in the chamber appears to be good. No corrosion, still round and the bullet on the right end.
The rollers appear to my eye to be in good shape and so does the locking recesses. I haven't tried to measure them as I don't know what they should be anyway.
At first use I oiled the pistol lightly, the way I would my other semis. When it still wouldn't function I tried a heavier coat and that still didn't work.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
