cz 70 slide wont hold back after last shot
« on: June 07, 2010, 11:42:21 PM »
Hi All, I just bought a cz 70 and it fed and ejected flawlessly. The only problem is the slide doesn't stay back after the last shot. This only happens when I shoot it. When it's unloaded with a mag in it holds back everytime. Also it happens with 4 different mags.  I'm no gunsmith but I'm pretty good with my hands. I'm thinking slide stop spring. Any Ideas??
Happy to be a new member, Mark

If it happens with all the mags then you're probably riding the slide catch with a thumb. Try shooting it left handed.

Always look for a simple fix before busting out the $$$!

Here's a very good thread on another forum that addresses the problem you're having; while aimed primarily at Sig pistols, it's causes and cures are applicable to many others as well: http://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/150601935/m/749101723
