Title: Firing pin Stuck when dry firing
Post by: Sneedjr on March 09, 2020, 04:41:23 PM: While dry firing, I noticed that firing was stuck extruded. Am I doing something wrong and what is the fix. I thought that I’d be able to dry fire without issue?

Hopefully, it is the right diagnosis, if the firing pin is broken for some reason, then the situation is worse.

I would remove the slide and strip it of all parts (you can get instructions on you tube channel) then thoroughly inspect and clean the firing pin channel. Hopefully, it will be the end. If the pin is broken, consultation with CZ may become necessary as to a possibility of replacing it under warranty.

In the future always use snap caps or place a rubber o'ring between the slide and the hammer before pulling the trigger.

You will pay more for the shipping than the spring if you go through the normal channels. I buy a few extra goodies like a new firing pin and springs and replace them while I'm in there.

Good Luck

Ordered a CGW firing pin retaining pin, (it said it is heavy duty) we shall see. I bought the RAMI used.
