I've been talking myself out of getting a 52 for a couple of years now. Picked a couple up at gun shows just to see the feel and they seem a bit aukward, but very solid (although one rattled around a bit, but I won't hold that against the whole bunch). The price is great and the surplus ammo is cheap. I just like the looks of the Tokarev better, but it costs considerably more. I'll probably wait until they're all gone, and kick myself. I'm going for a Tokarev next to round out my Soviet WWII collection (got C&R, will spend).
