I decided after shooting today to give it a go at removing the firing pin from my cz-75B. Some observations:
1.the CZ factory roll pin is a bit large. Once it's out, it's a pain to get it back in.
2. I used a roll pin from Miossi and it worked much smoother.
3. it wasn't really that dirty. I figured it probably needs to be cleaned maybe every few thousand rounds or so.
So I got the pin back in, and was careful to make sure it went in the right way. I tried to push the firing pin to simulate a "fire" and the pin would not move. I then depressed the firing pin plunger, pushed the firing pin, and then it the pin moved into a "fire" position. I re-assembled the gun. I then engaged the safety and the gun would not fire. I disengaged the safety, and the gun dry-fired with a snap cap. It seemed to work, but snap caps do not go BANG. So my question is: Did I do a proper function check for the firing pin? If not, what is the proper function check?
