The CZickness IX Intervention

[T-DOGG]

There's no way I can afford that other 10mm that Allen has. Serious want but zero funds.

It is amazing how much my P-01 improved with dry firing it over and over. As you well know, watch out for that firing pin retaining pin getting all kinds of jacked up even if you use an o-ring. I'm thinking of just putting one of those foam ear plugs in there instead. It should cushion the hammer more.

The last two times I sat and dry fired that's what I used was foam ear plugs. It quiets down the gun too, which matters for me because I was dry firing while the family was sleeping.

You appear to be missing some of the slide on that one.

Hybrid barrel.

It is all custom hand fit pieces.

I swapped out that pin before I started dry firing it. I learned my lesson, it only took me two broken guns to figure that one out.... I use orings.

That run on batteries?

So significant dry fire causes damage?

 

[maansmit]

Doesn't look like my shotgun will be available by Sunday. Super lame.

Oh yea. The firing pin goes forward into the retaining pin and will absolutely destroy the retaining pin. It can cause damage to the firing pin as well I've been told.

The stock firing pin retaining pin gets hammered and caves in on itself. Eventually causing failure. The stock trigger return spring breaks without warning. The first one broke on me at less than 100 rounds with maybe 1000 dry fire, second lasted much longer. Now I just replace them as soon as I get a new CZ. If you protect the firing pin with an o ring or ear plug, that will slow the process.

Here is my personal example.

Good to know. Any particular o ring that is recommended?

That sure is purdy

Here is my personal example.

This was my old P09, went to CM then to BA and now back to CM. I had less than 100 rounds through this when the trigger spring broke, since that was my first CZ and the CZickness was in its first iteration, I took it back the shop and they sent it back to CZ. I got it back, took it to the range and "click".... I would have figured they'd have test fired it.... Those prices of the pin prevented it from firing. Somewhere in there I broke it again, that's when I decided to fully cajunize it. Never had an issue after that.

I just grab some from work. The ones that fit without falling out are the right ones.

Well we don't use o rings in guardrail installation.

Good reason to start....

Hey I don't use guardrails in these car restorations either. What's your point?
