It's nice that you heard back from CZ USA so quickly!  Since a couple other posters have a similar experience, maybe it's more common than we thought.  My new PCR does not exhibit this no matter how slow I ride the slide forward.  I would think if CZ thought it was serious enough issue, they would have offered to throw a free slide stop in the mail.. 

Perhaps this will smooth out on its own once the parts mate and are seated better through use.  Could also just be a tolerance stacking issue.  You could always order another slide stop for a spare and work on polishing the one you have and see if you get better results.  That's probably what I'd do but then again, if it were my gun, I might just choose to "shoot through it" since the performance doesn't seem to be affected.

Okay it seems like there might be a spacing or tolerance issue.

For whatever reason, my slide stop is getting hung up where the obvious wear marks are. It will not transition smoothly over that slight bulge. I don't know if it is safe to file or if the slide stop itself may be a millimeter short.. or if it's totally normal.

I made another, more in depth video.. any input would be greatly appreciated

I know a guy who put a .40 S&W hollowpoint in his hand holding a pistol like that and messing with it.  He was so lucky.  The bullet exited up near his elbow and hit no bones, no vital blood vessels, no tendons.  Just traveled between the skin and muscle for about 14".  The muzzle burn on the palm of his hand bothered him more than the forearm or the exit wound.  Oh, it was a one of the CZ DAO pistols made for Colt and he was sure it was unloaded.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

Please don't start this. I appreciate your opinion and your willingness to make sure I remain safe, but that gun was well checked and cleared before the recording had started. You obviously did not watch the beginning of the video, it begins with a locked back slide, empty chamber and no magazine.

I checked my Omega CZ75B with the same trigger ( newer model also called Convertible). It has a little bit of a hang in the same spot as yours does but not as pronounced.

My P-07 doesn't nor does my OD Green P-01.  I think my mini compact SP-01 does a bit as well. Full size SP-01 Tactical does not. Smooth as glass

Odd but maybe normal on some CZs?

Thank you for checking for me. I really do love this forum and it's members. I guess I will have come to terms with it, but with no failures I guess it really isn't an issue.
