Did CZ ever fix the weak firing pin retaining pin?

The firing pin retaining pin has been a weak point on the P-01. I wonder if CZ has fixed it yet? If they did, from which year?

The pin was an issue on ALL CZ's for a couple years. They are no longer as big a worry now. Cajun Gun Works does make a very good replacement if you are worried. Keep in mind you should ALWAYS use a snap cap when dry firing a CZ and many here use an o-ring under the hammer for protection.

Many thanks for the information.

I can see through the pin hole. Does that mean my pin is still good? My pin is kind of stuck. I was trying to install some kind of racking assist onto the slide using super glue, and some glue probably went to the pin area. I tried to punch it off multiple times, and the pin refused to budge.

Anyone knows how to dissolve the super glue? If I apply heat, will I damage the paint?

Acetone will dissolve super glue.
