Trigger pin cracked
« on: August 23, 2019, 04:44:12 PM »
So at the range with my p07, fire about 20 rounds and about 3/16th of an inch of pin falls on the bench. I have a cgw pro package installed amd i followed the instructions listed on the site to polish everything else. Maybe 1000 rounds through it.

Is there an upgraded pin, where to buy one?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Would the pin from a p09 fit?
Could firong wothout a magazine cause this or other issues?

Want to get it fixed, wife doesnt like me borrowing her p01, and i dont have a good holster for it either. Thanks

First time i have heard of this happening. My guess is that it was likely just a bad factory part. I suggest contacting CZ USA and request a replacement part.

I am not aware of any other options than the factory P-Series Trigger Pin. A Pin from a P-09 should fit a P-07 though i have not tried a swap myself so i can not be 100%. I do not believe that firing the pistol without the mag installed could cause your issue.
Will work for CZ pics! (including but not limited to all CZ clones)

If by "firing without a magazine" means you are dropping a cartridge in the chamber and then closing the slide, stop doing that immediately (unless you'd like to learn the fun of replacing a broken extractor)

I have two P-07's with majority of CGW parts, both stock trigger pins polished on 2000 grit sandpaper with a dremel as per the guides on this forum, a few thousand rounds through each pistol, no problem with the pins.

I think I read here about a guy who actually had the trigger, not the pin, break on him while shooting, after installing the CGW trigger return spring.

I would say that when you are re-inserting the trigger pin into the frame, using a slave pin to hold the spring in place and pushing that slave pin out of the way, and then getting the trigger pin back in place... you shouldn't force it or bang on it.  It can all be done with minimal force, using finger pressure and a punch, when everything is lined up correctly.  Sometimes it hangs, and you need to re-align it, but I would avoid tapping it with a hammer when that happens.  It can be helpful to use a second punch inserted on the opposite side to keep things aligned, after the slave pin is out, but before the trigger pin is fully back into proper position.  Basically you want to use some finesse and not beat up your pin, trigger, or frame during the process of re-installation.

Firing with no magazine in the gun shouldn't be a problem, but chambering a round by dropping it in through the ejection port can break your extractor, as mentioned previously.  The rim of the shell casing is meant to slide in behind the extractor, not be pushed into the front of it.

Magazine in, load round, drop magazine, fire gun twice. I don't know how, but it tricks the mind and i still flinch.

I did use a guide pin in trigger in assembly and when it fell out i thought it was that piece and i was so confised as to how and where it could have been
