Any do's and don'ts on this model. What type of ammo it likes and how to take good care of it ? Shall I start with high velocity +p to break it in or just put low velocity (below 950) ?
 
Those questions should be addressed and answered in the owner's manual.

The only thing I know for sure, is that they say don't dry fire it -- or, more correctly, dry fire it with the safety on. You get the same effect, but it protects the gun.

A friend has a 952 and loves it. I have a 52, and its a superb gun.
 
bk40, agreed.

chaho, I do hope you took advantage of the $50 rebate. Now, ATF has a copy of your 4473. By the way, have you made your donation to HCI and Gore yet?[/quote]

I don't think that 4473 ever leaves the dealer's office... The only time the ATF sees it is when they're doing an audit. And then, they generally are looking for missing info, etc.

Sorry, but in order to get the $50 rebate, you have to send a copy of the 4473 to *&*. And, under the agreement, *&* is required to provide ATF with any and all information it requests. So, your 4473 becomes part of ATF records.

Feathers,

Easy Hoss, put that shootin iron back in its holster and back away slowly not making eye contact... ;)

SHOOT,COMMUNICATE AND MOVE OUT !
 
feathers - While some harsh words have been said to recent S&W purchasers, the general idea is to establish and solidify a response to gun manufacturers that use our rights as a bargaining chip to try to remove themselves from Slick Willy's crosshairs. If we don't stick together on this thing, there'll be nothing to deter other manufacturers from following S&W.

Chaho,

If your new Model 952 is anything like it's parent Model 52, it should be a sweetheart. As a target gun, it's probably best to run standard fodder through it, it has fairly tight tolerances and may not appreciate getting pounded around. I'm basing my assumption on how well-fitted my own Model 52 is, although it's not gonna get too beat up running mid-range wadcutters. Keep us posted as to how well it groups!
 
There are two major objections to the S&W settlement agreement. The first is that it imposes a whole layer of control and checks on those who wish to purchase a Smith & Wesson gun that are not required by any law or passed by any elected legislative body. The second is that the agreement mandates that S&W dealers and distributors jump through hoops and not carry some competing products if they are not "approved" in the agreement. Again, these rules are imposed solely because the dealer wants to sell S&W products, not by any law. Many of them violate restraint of trade laws by, for example, prohibiting S&W distributors from selling to other than S&W approved dealers and holding to an S&W dictated price line.

Unfortunately, S&W products are good. Anyone who wishes to purchase them will not be disappointed. As for me, I will miss them.

Nice gun, let us know how it shoots. You wouldn't own a Sig 210 by any chance ? I'd like to hear how the 210 and the S&W 952 compare.
 
I took four pistols with me today; My Sig 210, my Browning custom high power 9mm, my tricked out Glock 19, and finally my NEW S&W 952. I put a total of 200 rounds of WIN USA 115g through them all at 25 yards. I concluded that the 952 is by far the best 9mm I have ever owned and shot with. It was the most accurate and had the most consistant groups. Also it was by far the smoothest with least fealt recoil. Now as far as this post goes, please, If you have anything to say about S&W post it in the correct forum. This is a post about pistols and only pistols. As far as walt, feathers and Gewehr98, thank you for your support. Anyway, I will do more tests especially with low velocity target ammo soon. Oh by the way you guys should have seen what happend at glocktalk when I posted about my new S&W. The moderator kept deleting personal attack posts, it was brutal.
 
Feathers I'm all for free elections as well. But I will also criticize anyone that chooses to vote for Gore. If that makes me a hypocrit then I will proudly wear that label.
Purchasing a new Smith is an endorcement for the Clinton/Gore adminstration and their excellent work they have done to usurp our second amendment rights through back door efforts with one traitorous manufacture.

sorry mtaa i just saw your post !
The only thing about the sig 210 is the small sights and the hammer biting my hand. Otherwise it is similar and very close to the 952. The 952 has a larger frame than the sig 210. Every 952 is custom made and custom fit. The slide is custom fit and will only fit that particular frame. The barrel is also custom fit and will only fit that slide. So every thing is very tight and fitted. Also, there is a cobolt ring around the barrel. Hope this helps !

chaho - S&W makes pistols, and that's what we're talking about :D If you boldly support S&W after all the they've done for us, you can expect to hear the other side's view. The best I could ever hope to do is inform people of S&W's dealings and trust that they understand the consequences of supporting manufacturers that sell us out. I can't tell you where to spend your money, and I'm sorry you feel the way you do. It's obvious that you're cognizant of S&W's treachery, yet you aren't phased by that knowledge and likely never will be. Enjoy your new pistol.
 
chaho requested info on a S&W 952 and politely requested that "political" aspects of S&W be kept to other, more appropriate forums. If you can't provide assistance in the area that he is interested in, then don't bother commenting at all since he made it clear that he wasn't interested in that aspect of things. Despite that, he was critized for buying a product that YOU did not approve of. HCI wishes to limit our freedoms by imposing their will on others and YOU also wish to restrict the freedom of others to only buying guns which YOU approve of.

Someone made the comment about donating to HCI and voting for Gore. There are about 80 million guns owners in this country. If all of them were "pro-gun", Clinton would have never got into office and this things with S&W would have never happened in the first place. YOU want to drive more supporters away because they purchase a gun that YOU don't agree with, then so be it. It will make YOUR fight for YOUR freedoms all the more harder!
