Schmeky is a genius with the CZ, who would have thought. When reading about fp issues I get tempted to remove the fpb. It would be great to have a safe fix for removing the fpb such has evolved for the 1911 using a titanium fp to match the fp pin to eliminate the flawed design.

Do the current CGW firing pins have this "fix" already? Thanks

Xenogy,

The current CGW FP's are almost like the revised versions.  We relieve the area on our firing pins where peening can occur.  Our FP's are already made from S-7 tool steel. 

CAGLS,
The newer versions are going into production this month and will be going out to customers in September.  We are also going to offer this same pin for the CZ-97's.

September...great, I'll have time to save up some cash.  Maybe sell some stuff on Ebay and build up some Paypal bucks.   ;D

This is pretty much where I'm at, looking at changing firing pin and dropping spring weight.  Will these be extended firing pins, or just a factory replacement?

It takes 6 full weeks to make a production run of 2,000 firing pins.  Then they have to be heat treated.  Production of the new FP's was completed a few days ago and they are off to heat treat.  I should have them very soon.

BTW, we are so confident in these new FP's I am probably going to offer a lifetime warranty.   They will be that good.

Extended only.  I will also finally offer a totally new, redesigned extended FP for the CZ-97 series too.
