Broken FP on BRAND NEW P-09 Urban Grey "Suppressor Ready" series

[Grendel]

Sounds like you got a 'demo' gun. Call CZ-USA with the serial # on Monday and have them replace it.

the missing back straps would have been a clue and I would have either refused it or had my FFL on the phone with the shipping dealer.

I nooticed the backstraps but thought it would be no problem to get them replaced and it wasn't a deal killer. I'm thinking Grendel is right. The fp looks like a clean cut to make it inoperable for demo purposes. I wonder why the retailer got something like that.

+1 Grendel - "Sounds like you got a 'demo' gun".

From what I understand, no one has the new "Urban Grey Suppressor Ready" for sale yet. Retailers have some for display. I did see GragAGun listing them last month on Slickguns (2-09-2016), but I think just to be notified when they are available. I'm still waiting for my P07 Urban Grey Suppressor Ready, since middle of Jan.

Makes sense that it was used at a show or something. Hopefully CZ gets you your back straps. Good looking gun by the way. Bet it's a while before everyone else gets theirs.

Yay!! This is good news! Glad I was able to snag one up early. The 21+1 capacity really sold me on it plus high tritium, threaded barrel all for under 600. I know CZ makes a quality product which is why I was so shocked. This makes a little bit more sense. The FP is already on its way from CGW. Ill give a range report when she's up and running next weekend.

Firing pins usually dont break like that. I would say gun was made non-firing for some reason.
then got into the distribution network.
Just replace the firing pin.

I was thinking the same thing. That pin looks machined down not broken.

[Freedom_Man]

I have one more question. At first I thought it was part of the design and a possible safety feature, but now when I think about it I wonder if it could possibly make this "display model" unsafe. When a round is chambered, the head and rim of the case are visible between the barrel and slide from the side. Is this normal on a P-09? I could see this helping as a loaded chamber indicator if it is, but I want to make sure before I fire this weapon.

Normal on my p09 and p07.

Congrats on buying a great firearm. Extremely accurate, nice under recoil, super durable, and only gets better with CGW parts.

Normal on my CZ's also.

That firing pin looks like it was milled that way.  I agree with Stuart, looks like it was made not to fire.  Might be a demo gun that got mixed in with the "regular" guns.
