Did you use snap caps? Broken firing pin or spring would be my guess. Would have to disassemble to find the problem.

Do you see the tip from bridge face side?
Looks like it's time to punch out roll pin, remove firing pin and spring. Either one is bad or channel is dirty.
I also suggest to buy new roll pin.

Can you see light through the firing pin retaining pin?

I wasn't use any snap cap. which I should start using it right now.   to disassemble it, we need to punch out the firing pin retaining pin first right?  I saw something from the youtube mentioned that CZs' retaining pin is problematic, and we should replace it when have a chance.  have you guys done that yet?

Yes and yes. Cajun gun works offers one. And I'll post a link to a video on how to remove the pin.

Thanks guys. I replace the retaining pin and firing ping from the CGW,  will take it out to the range this weekend. it is good to have PCR back to working order.   The old retaining pin was pretty tinged up.
