I've read several times that holsters which fit the 1911 will also fit the CZ-52. I'd recently had good luck with a De Santis SOF-TUCK and my P64 so I wanted to try it for my '52. Therefore, when my wife asked for Christmas ideas, I sent her a link to the De Santis SOF-TUCK 106 85 (product number 106NA85Z0, UPC 92695-30530), designed to fit: BROWNING P35, COLT COMMANDER, GOVERNMENT MODEL 45, KIMBER COMPACT 45, CUSTOM 1911, S&W 1911 5".
It fits decently well but not perfect. Well enough to wear and not feel bad. There are just a few things to note in the pics below.
First, note that the holster doesn't completely cover the trigger guard. The CZ-52's trigger guard is larger than standard to accommodate gloves. The holster covers it for the most part but does leave a gap which can be seen. I don't believe it to be dangerous, in any case. Second, note that the holster is about 0.75" too long. Personally, I like it because I think that it protects the metal, but some may want to trim the leather a bit. Third, I have installed an external slide release on my carry CZ-52. I have to be careful to be sure that the release slides into the holster. Again this isn't a big problem. I have to do the same thing when I use my Falco shoulder holster.
Normally, I'll be wearing it tucked, but here you can see it plain-jane IWB.
