CZ-82 won't fire

[capnendo]

Hello,

Was shooting my CZ82 today and after about 40 rounds I pulled the trigger, the hammer fell and nothing happened.

I inspected the round in the chamber and it had no primer strikers what so ever.  Tried a few more rounds with the same result.

It's not the firing pin channel, I put the slide on another CZ-82 and it works fine.  Something is up in the frame...

Any thoughts?


Thank you very much

Firing pin issue, not frame.  Maybe fractured and bound up? Disassemble the slide group.

Thank for the reply.

When I put the slide on another CZ82, it works great.

I removed the firing pin and cleaned the channel, no issues there.

Slide A works on gun B but not gun A.  It worked with gun A up till today.

If the hammer falls but it doesn't fire, the places I'd be looking would be the hammer block safety (is something keeping the hammer from falling all the way so it isn't actually hitting the firing pin?) and the actual position of the slide (is it going all the way forward into battery?).

After looking at mine...  hard to see what would keep the slide out of battery.  So my first step (after unloading etc) would be to hold the hammer back, and slowly pull the trigger.  You should see a piece of metal at the back of the slide, below the firing pin, rotate up.  If it doesn't, you've got some disassembly to do to find out why.  If it does...  hmmm...

Decided to strip the gun and found the sear had broken

Have a spare on hand, going to try reassembly with the new sear.

Thanks for the replies

What a wonderful phrase:  "Have a spare on hand" !!!

And ... good luck with the sear spring / auto safety installation.  Two things to remember:  a) Patience is a Virtue;  and b) Perseverance Furthers.

Great tutorial on disassembly:

I have reassembled the gun and everything works as far as I can tell, except I can't get the slide to go back on the frame.

I tried removing the slide stop/spring all together and the slide still won't ride all the forward on the frame.

Anybody had this issue before?

Thank you

Turns out I had the wrong pin holding the ejector assembly in (too wide)

Now the slide rides great, hopefully it will shoot well.


Thanks to everybody for the help so far

Much Appreciated,

An easy UNLOADED Pistol firing test before taking it to the range:

Cock the hammer and drop a wooden pencil or dowel or chopstick down the barrel, point the muzzle up in a high ceiling room, and pull the trigger.  If the fire control system is in working order, the firing pin will 'shoot' the wooden pencil/dowel/chopstick out quite a way.
