Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson
Caliber: 9mm
Model/Size: Performance Center 952-1
Finish: Blued
Condition: Pre-Owned
Box/Papers: Manual and spent casing inside Perf Center Aluminum Case
Offered here is a Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 952-1, manufactured in 2003 and chambered in 9mm. Featuring an elegant blued steel finish and original checkered walnut grips, this precision target pistol represents one of Smith & Wesson's finest examples of traditional all-steel semiautomatic craftsmanship.
Introduced in 2000, the Performance Center Model 952 was developed as the 9mm successor to Smith & Wesson's legendary Model 52, the highly regarded .38 Special Mid-Range target pistol. Retaining the Model 52's classic lines and emphasis on accuracy, the 952 incorporated modern refinements and the considerable expertise of the Performance Center's master pistolsmiths.
The Model 952-1 features a 5-inch match-grade barrel, precision spherical barrel bushing, hand-fitted slide and frame, and a finely tuned single-action trigger. Its substantial all-steel construction, adjustable target sights, and original checkered walnut grips contribute to the exceptional balance and shooting characteristics for which these pistols are known. The 952-1 also incorporated a grip-activated firing-pin safety, distinguishing it from the original Model 952.
Produced in relatively limited numbers, the blued steel 952-1 is particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate the craftsmanship and traditional appearance of Smith & Wesson's early Performance Center pistols. These hand-fitted target pistols represent an era when precision machining, individual attention, and accuracy took precedence over production economy.
This 2003 example remains in excellent condition, retaining its original checkered walnut grips and attractive blued finish. It is accompanied by two magazines.
Ships FedEx 2nd Day with (2) 9rd. magazines inside original factory case.
