Review on Prime Line 9187793 Slotted Spring 25 Pack by Tyler Parker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for replacing helical cross pin in CZ75/CZ97/P09

The CZ uses a very thin helical cross pin to retain and control the strikers the pen way. It's okay if you never dry fire your pistols, but I don't care about a gun, I can't dry fire safely, and for most competitions you have to point clean and then pull the trigger. empty room. This will eventually destroy that cross pin and if it fails your gun will be inoperable as it will cause the firing pin to become stuck in the firing pin channel. I experienced this with my CZ P09. I've used these roller pins in the same P09 for thousands of live shots and even more blank shots and I don't see any negative wear on the firing pin or roller pin. I think this is a case of CZ being overly cautious and using a softer cross pin than the forward so he can't destroy the forward, but I don't see any evidence that this roll pin causes any problems. I have replaced all of my coiled pins with these spring pins in every CZ I have.

Pros
  • Slot along full length of pin allows for compression during insertion into hole
Cons
  • Bored package
