Firing Pin Retaining Pins

[Coldhammerforged]

I have more than 1 CZ and I bought the pins from Amazon that are on the link above.
I dry fire 3-4 time a week for 30 minutes as I do drills, granted I will miss a day some weeks and even miss a week some months when going on the boat is a priority
In Mn if its nice enough to be on the lake, dry fire takes a back seat.......

I have the pins as back ups and installed in 4 guns now. I am pleased with them and never give them a second thought now.
Admittedly I have had good luck with them and with my guns so in my opinion they work very well.

Maybe I'm lucky or maybe I am just not as concerned about what is working and what might happen. Either way if asked I would recommend them and say put them in and forget they are there. I tend to agree with the regular maintenance theory. The part is cheap, easily accessible, easy to replace, require barely a tool, and insignificant if you look at it from time to time IMHO.

This might be asking a lot. Can you remove the pin and take a picture at 6 months and then a year? I want to create a firing pin durability thread. With double action and single action strikes. I have a p01 to be the perfect candidate.

If you do decide to share thanks a million. [emoji106] ammo is supply is low for me and I'm not loaded with cash. so I will mostly be dry fire and like first draw from holster.

   Surely, i plan on posting about anything interesting or useful that i find. I am not sure that testing DA and SA individually will bare any differences. I agree that an upside of testing this subject is that dry fire will suffice and not require any live ammo. Dry fire is unquestionably harder on the FPRP than live fire.

Since I found those pins, (https://amzn.to/32nXFGF) only have used 2. I consider them a consumable and replace them every 5000 rounds now, and they don't look too bad at all, nether is the firing pin. Problem solved.

I also bought a box of these, but haven't installed any of them yet.  I did an eyeball comparison with a new CGW FPRP I have and they look very similar, but these pins off of Amazon have a significantly smaller gap than the CGW ones.  I don't guess that should be a problem.

Also I didn't see anything about a nation of origin on the box, but I noticed the Amazon listing says they are made in India.

Reading through this thread and the firing pin retaining pin replacement options, does anyone know the Rockwell hardness scale of the CZ75B firing pin? I'm curious because the McMaster Carr roll pins are around Rockwell C43-46.
Thanks,
