CZ VZ 50 from Century Arms Shooting Impressions

[@454pakr]

32 used to be very popular. I like those small surplus guns.

[@danmittendorff3155]

It’s amazing how critical some people are of the 32 ACP, interestingly it used to be a very common law enforcement and military round. I primarily own .380, 9mm and 45s. Recently I was lucky enough to pick up two colt 1903 hammerless in 32 ACP because of low recoil and fast time on Target they shoot really small groups and yes they have tiny sight like this CZ 50. Somebody at the range noticed me shooting and saw my tiny groups and wanted to know what I was shooting they were really amazed to find I was shooting a90 some year old gun. Anyway I have become a fan of the 32 ACP and I ordered a CZ 70 and I’m waiting for it to come in as it’s the brother to this CZ 50 I found this video very interesting. Old-style military and police weapons are very elegant looking can’t wait to get a hold of mine. Thank you for the great video

Agree. Now that I have shot a ton of differnt types. 32 ACP is one of my favs. 9mm is fine but just not as easy to shoot as 32 acp. Actually 9mm and 45 are my least favorite to plink with. Do i really care about knock down power doing what I do 99 percent of the time? nope. I suppose if I did competitions where I had to use 9 or 45 then I would put up with it, since I don't I prefer 32 acp and 30 luger. I think the military wanted 9mm so then Joe Civilian says hey I want more knock down power too. As if they are in shoot outs every day. The vast majority will never be doing a military style shoot out. I don't worry nor think like that. OMG what if in the .00001 percent chance a 9mm is going to make a HUGE difference. That never worries me like some.

I love how people scoff at the 32 ACP but 100 years ago, it was in very wide use, and I don't see anyone today wanting to stand in front of one and say "ooooh it's so underpowered".

[@Physics072]

Because all the punks today are just video game armchair shooters. They live the world of the wild west through TV shows and imagination and might shoot once in awhile at the gun range where they again pretend to be doing cops n robbers. So in their minds they want a Cannon for shooting fantasy monsters and bad guys. The 32 ACP is just fine but today people live in a false reality, they think they need a Cannon for everything. In reality they are shooting a paper sack where a pellet gun would more than suffice.

[@johndeere1951a]

Your right. .32acp in the body hurts bad ☹️👍

[@Gieszkanne]

100 years? In Europe it was the service caliber of the police in many country's until the 80ies!

I also have 1 CZ Vz 70 . Very nice

[@javikarras]

I've seen a cz50 at a very good price in my local gunstore. I didn't know this pistol, but i'm deeply in love!! Good steel and smooth caliber!!

[@shawnbane585]

Due to uncle Arthur ritis in my hands I have become recoil sensitive. Where I live 32 ACP is plentiful and Underwood has some nice defensive rounds. I have a CZ 50, CZ 70 and Kel tek 32 as my main handguns

[@Jaybird-oo3ih]

I have the CZ 70 and properly lubed this gun is very reliable and accurate with its fixed barrel design. I do keep this .32 on my rotation and it’s my belief that shot placement is worth more than the caliber I’m shooting. I feel adequately armed carrying this pistol.

[@mac2k2020]

Just got my C&R license , this one is on my wishlist

[@Douglas-Ops]

Great video & great shooting. Those sights are tiny,I love mine. Yeah ammo isn’t as plentiful, mostly get PPU and Winchester sometimes. But a joy to shoot. Thanks for posting!👌

[@devildog3246]

Very nice shooter. Enjoy that one.

[@brandonbentley4413]

The red box Fiocchi is the best as it is loaded a little hotter that the American stuff.

[@One-Armed-Un-Boxer]

Recoil spring corrected. See I do watch all your videos.

[@jerryg2073]

Take a look at Buffalo Bore 32 ACP+P 75 gr hard cast Flat Nose @ 1150 FPS! Expensive and very hard to find in stock anywhere.

[@Gieszkanne]

That is not a good defensive round, it will have a lot of overpenetration!

[@Hi-DefCreative]

One of my favorites. Every time I let someone shoot it they offer to buy it.

[@simon6137]

Отличная стрельба,даже не смотря на то,что некие злые силы двигали мишень :))

[@Largo5441]

Very nice pistol old but gold

[@socc6991]

How's the hammer/ slide bite ? I have big hands, I'm thinking about buying either the CZ 50 or 70 within the next week.

[@GBGuns]

I had no issues fortunately.

[@socc6991]

Thanks for the info

[@DjPorkchop73]

I'm a big guy with huge hands and have never had hammer bite with mine at all. It actually is a nice little gun to have fun with at the range.I wouldn't be scared to pick one up for the right price. I broke my floor plate on my mag and am playing hell finding another.

[@derynbergeron9162]

did you get one?

[@Jaybird-oo3ih]

Get the 70 the 50 bites more than the 70 will.

[@johndeere1951a]

Would you Cary it ? Truthfully...... When did you draw a pistol to confront danger? Really. So .32acp doesn't matter, does it. Great CZ Pistol. Like your "what's for dinner demos"👍

[@tychbrbl1014]

Mine shoots when it is decocked. Very dangerous. Not sure why. The de-cocker on my P-64 Radom and Makarov work fine. Other than that the pistol is great. Very scary though. C & R from Classic Firearms.

[@Semyon_Semyonych]

Yours is definitely broken and/or defective. Shooting while being decocked is extremely dangerous! You should take this gun to a gunsmith, or better yet, just deactivate it and keep it as a display...

[@2Aknight762]

I have 3 Makarov style of pistols that are all very accurate with their fixed barrels.

[@packof16]

It is amazing just how many Walther PP/PPK clones that are out there.

[@δοξατοΘεο]

Its not clone

[@Physics072]

@@δοξατοΘεο Yes it is a clone. I have a 1951 CZ-50 (not VZ) they did admit to making a close copy of the PP/PPK they mainly differ in the PPK trigger guard breaks open to take off the slider while the CZ you press a button. Its a great gun but they did copy Walther, why not?

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

@@Physics072 I don't see how it being a Walther design detracts from this gun, for you to say "it's a great gun but". Imo it's a good thing that this gun has a Walther silhouette, I like that Czechoslovakia didn't bow down to the commies and their demands and didn't adopt the horrid Tokarev tt pistol, instead made their own guns

[@13helmsman]

Cool video. Thanks!

[@BrianJohnson-tz6xl]

I would love to find a trigger spring for my cz vz 50 , do you know of any places that might have parts ??

[@kevincain2697]

I would love to have one .just to jard to find .

[@electraglideclyde]

I traded for one, puzzles me is that it has no import markings and no date stamp. Hmmm. Love the gun though.

[@Jaybird-oo3ih]

If it has no markings it was sold to a country and they cleaned the guns bought of all markings so they couldn’t be traced back to the source they were bought from

[@javikarras]

Great video!!

[@dancanndegwa6072]

Guys, which is the best pistol to buy?

[@johndeere1951a]

I collect ALL CZ's from the pre " CZECH REPUBLIC" period.👍

[@BrianJohnson-tz6xl]

I have a cz-50 and I'm having trouble finding a new trigger spring ?? Any ideas ??

[@TacticalTerry]

Acxess Spring may be able to make one if you can pull measurements from yours

[@BrianJohnson-tz6xl]

@@TacticalTerry , I have no idea how to get the measurements for it , how would I go about doing that ??

[@easyfiveOsink]

To bad the Czechs didn't chamber these in .380 Auto too.

[@howardschwartz4411]

Which do you prefer??? Cz 50 or 70

[@johndeere1951a]

Collect both, CZ is dope! 👍

Very elegant Walther silhouette in this gun, I'm glad they went with this design

Does the gun jam a lot?

[@Robert-dv9jt]

Mine doesnt

[@Jaybird-oo3ih]

Clean and lube the slide/ frame guides with a medium lube like Wilson universal lube. That’s what I do and I run mine with no malfunctions ever

[@ronalddavidleindecker3358]

.32acp? Jacketed ball. Period.
