    The Italian Delta AR Top Gun is one of my favorite guns. It's a rare hand-built improved version of the CZ52, using the same roller lock system and basic design. Mine is in 45acp, but they were offered in 9mm and 40S&W as well. The gun has a blued steel frame and is beautifully made and shockingly good at the range. A real keeper.

    Blown away at the craftsmanship and putting it side by side with it's elder surplus brother made it glaringly obvious. Labor of love.

    I have a CZ 52 and have to laugh. I look at it and figure it's been made from the steel of destroyed German panzers. LOL!!! This gun is definitely much higher quality and looks amazing.-Jen

    Can you do a video on the process of importing a gun? I have looked for hard to find guns here in the US, only to see that they are plentiful in Canada, a video on that process would be awesome. Great videos!

    I got one of these the other day, just as pictured. Beautiful gun. The link for the pdf manual isn't working btw. I see what you mean about the trigger - hammer movement suggests that the sear needs to be recut. I'll do a video when I do.

    Hi just found your channel you have some very interesting guns, and its nice to see things that I have never even heard of (for the most part) One thing that I would like to see is a little bit more information on the operation of the guns.
    I just watched your vid on the Pardini GT9 and had to go to the website to learn that it was a geometrically locked pistol, that kind of stuff would be nice to add as well as showing it in action. Anyway thanks for showing these very cool guns.

    • @LifeSizePotato
      @LifeSizePotato  9 років тому +5

      +SavageShooter93 I will try to include more of that. I am always afraid of getting too technical to keep it from being boring. I think I covered the mechanics of the Top Gun pretty well, and others, too.

    • @SavageShooter93
      @SavageShooter93 9 років тому +2

      +LifeSizePotato Wow thanks for your quick reply, I understand that some people are not very interested in the technical details, But I think some people would be interested to see some of the stranger operating mechanisms, like the geometry lock of the GT9, but when it comes to browning tilting barrels designs or something blowback dont bother. Keep up the great work, I look forward to watching your other vids

    When you first pulled out that Glock I thought,
    "Wow! That Top Gun is so fancy, it makes the old G17 look like its frame is made out of cheap toy plastic in comparison! The finish on that gun must be truly a sight to behold."
    Then I began to realize that the Glock was in fact a dummy plastic model of the gun... Heh.

  • @Xerxes1688

    Greetings from Argentina. I knew about this gun from a local TV show about firearms and outdoors called "El Apostadero*", where they reviewed an example of this gun, but in .40 S&W. That particular episode was from circa 2003, that was still the heyday for .40S&W. Probably the only real complait the reviewer had about it is that the front sight is a bit wide.
    Kinda wish they made .357 SIG barrels for the .40S&W version, that way it would make it look even closer to the CZ-52, and almost .357 Magnum levels of ballistics.
    *El Apostadero actually means "The hunting tower" or "The hunting post", not "Betting den" or anything like that. Those who hunt deer know what that is.

    Nice vid I was literally thinking the other day why has no one tried to copy the cz52 roller lock up in other calibers since it could handle 7.62 tokarev 9mm and maybe 45 would be no problem it just seem to me that the design is inherently accurate

    How does the firing pin compare to that of the CZ vz.52? A lot of people have problems with the original design breaking. Is it like the CZ or more similar to one of the aftermarket designs (e.g. Harrington)? Cool gun, regardless.
