CZ-52s will soon be here!

I got a call from J&G Sales today. I guess the CZ-52s are on the truck and they will be receiving them next week.

Unfortunately, they were not able to honor the original price. The saleslady said they had to go with a different supplier, and their cost went up. I pre-ordered one back in January for $99, but the price is now $129. Still worth it, so I confirmed my order.

I've got a feeling these aren't going to last long. I know AIM Surplus said they would be getting some in soon, too.

dont dry fire it or you will break the firing pin and have to buy a hardened steel replacement from me :)

Would it be OK to dry fire the CZ52 with the hardened steel replacement firing pins without worry about breakage?

i have fired my hardened pin many times with no breakage, that being said tho, dry firing cant be that good for any gun. i dont want to guarantee that you can dry fire it at least x number of times before it will break.

Many CZ-52 pistols frequently break their firing pins. Replacing surplus firing pins is expensive at roughly $15-$20 apiece, when they are available. This is a ridiculous expense for a $200 pistol. Firing pins on a pistol should not break. Firing pins break on the CZ-52 as the nose work hardens with repeated dry-firing, leading to tip breakage. The original firing pins are made of a particularly brittle steel which is the root of the problem.
Our NEW pins are finely machined from pre-hardened number 416 stainless steel which has a rockwell hardness of rc29. They are designed to be TOUGH and DURABLE. Not too hard to be brittle and not too soft to be easily bent. These pins are a direct replacement of the original and do not require any modification to the pistol.

the pic on the site is of an original pin, ill post a few pics of the actual pin from my cz-52.

If i"m reading this right...you ordered in January, and their shipment got delayed by months. Now they want to charge you more because they couldn't deliver on a quoted price?? Thanks, I know who not to order from in the future. Congrats. on the CZ though.
