Broke my gun dryfiring it. Fucking trigger return spring snapped. Again, except this time the guns out of warranty and ive got to pay to replace it. Shits only got a roughly 7k roundcount yet parts keeps wearing out like the recoil spring and extractor. Nato spec my ass.
Surprisingly the slidestop hasnt shit itself yet even though its supposed to go first.

Its basically all springs wearing out prematurely. and the extractor though thats been replaced.
anyone know if czcustom or cajun gunworks is better for replacement parts both have their own improved version of the trs. im not going to get a stock cz part again cause ive broken two now.

CZ springs and small parts die like no other. There's a reason why USPSA CZ shooters usually show up with 2 guns.

This is annoying. I've never heard of the TRS breaking on other guns. Dry firing shouldn't make any difference to it. CZ must be screwing up with the heat-treating or something.

Have a look at this from czcustom.com. The description suggests that it's a better spring.

If Wolff (gunsprings.com) made TRS I'd recommend that (they make other springs for the CZ, though--check them out since they're among the best, I've used them to restore/improve several guns).

You don't have to replace the whole gun. A trigger return spring is only a few dollars and you can replace it yourself.

you havent actually held a CZ have you?

also if this thread isnt proof enough, the gun fucking broke by nothing else but dry-firing

60 kabillion rounds my ass, the gun is brand new and a vital part broke from dry fire

if that on top of the finish issues, burr marks, low quality parts that break, and the fact the service life on the damn things is lower than the barrel life, isnt enough to convince you then youre probably one of those people that would buy a hi point just to spite all of the well-deserved advice of people telling you not to just because they dont have "proof"

Someone didn't do their research. Dry fire using snap caps or dont dry fire at all. CZ's older design has a number of documented breakages from dry firing. IIRC the reports came about after excessive dry firing too.

TL;DR - Don't dryfire without a snapcap in place, and don't do it obsessively. Shoot the gun, not play with it. Oh, and stock up on the commonly breaking parts and fix it yourself. Self reliance and all that.

I doubt that dry vs. live fire matters for the trigger return spring, but it's a lot cheaper to test your spring by pulling the trigger 20,000 times than to shoot 20,000 rounds!

Alright. I accept that. I like my SP-01 and accept that it isn't perfect. It's too heavy for CCW. The factory trigger could be lighter. It may not like over the top obsessive dry firing. I've seen a machining mark or two out there, though mine is clear and the finish is perfect too.

Accept that any gun will eventually fail. No matter what gun it is. THEY ARE MACHINES THAT WEAR OUT.

So go back to your Glock/S&W/Ruger/Sig/HK circlejerk and badmouth a legitimate firearm that works. I'm sure they'll love you more for it.

Guess what, your expectations and "common sense" are wrong. Pretty much anyone who's any good has more dryfire reps than live shots fired. Bob Vogel shoots around 20k rounds a year, dryfires around 10 times as many. It's pretty fucking obvious you are a shitty shot if you think dryfire is "playing" with your gun.

Read what you quoted again. Are you telling me your m9 with 200,000 rounds hasnt had parts replaced? Because if so there are two things to say:

1. Fire your armorer. You obviously don't need him or her.
2. Get that gun in to be recorded. I'm sure Beretta would love to test it out....and use it for advertising.

>2. Get that gun in to be recorded. I'm sure Beretta would love to test it out....and use it for advertising.

Sarcasm aside, a company making a consumer good that lasts an order of magnitude beyond its planned service life wouldn't want to test it for advertising - they'd want to learn how never to make that mistake again!
>>
>>30431052
that is because they are designed to look like what lonely weirdos think a naked woman looks like rather than a real one.
>>
>>30431122
Of course they replace parts at normal intervals but for this brand new CZ to have broken two springs like this is a bit much. I can very confidently say that I can take a Beretta and shoot it without failure unless a part (locking block for ex.) has an excessive amount of rounds past its service interval. THE CZ IN THE PICTURE has NOT REACHED A SERVICE INTERVAL!!! Thats the fucking point you pleb.

>>30431043
>nah I'm a normal civilian hobbyist. I do not work in the field nor do I compete.
ok, now I know for sure you're a shitter who puts up 5" groups at 7 yards. Don't assume everyone else practices as little as you do.

>Thats how I know 100,000 practice trigger pulls is abnormal.
What do you mean by abnormal? If you mean it's not possible, then you're wrong. Or if you're implying this is some kind of unusual abuse of a gun, CZ's have a reputation among competitive shooters for breaking slide stops and TRS's, moreso than Glock, HK, Sig, etc.

>So tell me again all about your religious dry fire training. I'm all ears (and laughing at you mentally) .
Are you a high-schooler? It's not cool to laugh at people for being good at stuff if you're over 16. Enjoy mediocrity if you want.

I've long stopped counting exactly but my estimate is that it only takes around 10-15 minutes of practice to press the trigger 200 times. That, 3-4 days a week, plus whatever live fire on the weekend, adds up. I don't even train that hard compared to others out there.

>Guns do break. So do springs. Whoo hoo. Buy some extras or pay the price.
Duh. Point is that CZ's are extra prone to breaking small parts and springs. Sorry to give you buyer's remorse or whatever, you bitter fuck.

>>30431184
New enough for two return springs to not fucking break. And 7k isn't when things start breaking. 10-20k is when recoil springs and such should be replaced or 20k is when a beretta locking block should be replaced. A fucking return springs should almost never break unless its got tens of thousands of rounds through it.

>>30431184
Two TRSs in the span of 7k rounds is pretty bad. Lot of guns will make it twice as long before breaking just one TRS.

We're going to disagree on a great many things. I will agree that the CZ design has weak spots. I will still argue that 100,000 dry fires is unusual. The vast majority of shooters are not doing that to their firearms on a yearly basis.

And I will still find humor at the image of a younger guy sitting alone in a room aiming at an imaginary target and pulling the trigger. Humor and sadness too, maybe. I wish you luck at your serious training and hope to God you calm down a bit in the years to come.

TL;DR - Guns break. CZs break too, since they're guns. Finding humor in life is important.

Sure. But the vast majority of shooters will never even come close to making their guns break. They might as well shoot hi point for all that matters.

>And I will still find humor at the image of a younger guy sitting alone in a room aiming at an imaginary target and pulling the trigger. Humor and sadness too, maybe. I wish you luck at your serious training and hope to God you calm down a bit in the years to come.
Not sure where you're getting that this is somehow sad. I like being good at shooting, but I really like getting even better, and 10-15 minutes a day for a few days a week is not exactly a huge sacrifice. Training is fun and it brings me closer to other goals of mine, or else I wouldn't do it.

>>30431265
Meanwhile a stock TRS from Glock/sig/etc will last into multiples of that 10k.

That's pathetic anon. Considering I've seen Glock TRS's go into the 30k range without breaking, CZ performance just isn't there. Yes you need to change springs but come the fuck on, the TRS of all things usually lasts a good amount of time in other designs.
