ejection problems

"failure to feed, eject, slides locking open with rounds still in the mag, "

Sounds like at least 2 of the problems I've seen/heard of before. Weak slide stop spring and ejector spring. With the failure to feed, possibly the recoil spring? I wonder if there was just a batch of bad springs at some point?

chicksands, I agree with Dave. I'd at least try to replace the above mentioned springs they are VERY cheap if CZ-USA won't send them to you, and will probably at least fix 2 of your problems. Also you could try sending it to CZ-USA.

Thanks for adding your problems.

I emailed CZ-USA and was told to replace the recoil spring with a wolff 14 lbs spring which I did.  It seemed funny that they wanted me to use somebody else's springs but guess they didn't want to spend the money sending me a new CZ spring I guess.  Two brand new CZ's and both are a big disappointment, I'm glad most of you are having good luck, for me, it's down to the gunshop to trade these two in for another Glock.  It's a shame, especially since I was lucky to find some hi-caps for both at a very low price but I'd rather have ten reliable rounds I can count on rather than 13 I can't!  Good luck to all.

So how much you want to sell the 13rnd high caps for? e-mail me at beretta@jrfarrar.com if you are interested in selling them.

chicksands,

Go to glocktalk.com and you'll see that glocks aren't impervious to problems either. I have a 75b mil and my friend has a Compact, both are flawless. I tried a Wolf 15lb. recoil spring (which is much longer than stock) in my 75 mil  because I shoot a lot, and that caused many problems, I suspect it was binding up. Put the stock recoil spring back in and it functions flawlessly with great accuracy, then ordered a stock replacement spring from CZ for future use. About 5 weeks ago I was at the range and a guy was having all sorts of jams with his brand new Beretta 92, he wasn't upset at all, the range/shop was going to send it back for repairs. Also had similar problem with my 9mm Ruger, my dealer sent it back (no charge) and Ruger replaced the barrel and extractor, since then it's been the model of reliability and is as accurate as my CZ.

How many handguns have you owned and how many rounds have you put thru them?


I have to agree with " feed the monkey", have your dealer send it back to CZ, they'll make it right and you'll be glad you did.  

My 2 cents.

Berettas, Glocks, CZs, Sigs all failing ! Yikes! I'm selling all my guns and buying a frying pan. Its very reliable, good protective finish, fits my hand very well and is accurate. Seriously though, after years of being in sales there is one thing I have  learned. Every brand of any type of product  regardless of quality, price etc., this is going to happen. You will get an occasional problem. Thing is, the customers who end up with it make the most noise and rightfully so. Who wants a product they are afraid to rely on especially with their lives. Like someone stated above, send it back to the manufacturer and let them make it right, most of the time they do. They know that nothing sells their product better than reputation/word of mouth. Even if that doesn't work, you can always sell/trade it off. Besides, whats more exciting than shopping for a new gun?

I have had my own FTF problems with a 75B mil. Most problems that I have ever encountered (which have been very few) were ammo related. I have since replaced it with a 40B with which I have had no FTF's or FTE's of any sort. I am now in the market for a dual tone 75B.    
Good Luck!

I appreciate the support here, and I know you all say that CZ-USA stands by everything 100%, but when you get two clunkers in a row, it tends to turn you off.  I've been on Glocktalk.com many times and know nobody makes a perfect gun everytime but I've been turned off to CZ by these two lemons.  I hope I can get a decent trade in price on a new Glock 17!  Good luck to all and thanks!
