Does anybody know how to "beef up" the firing pin action on a CZ 52? Mine shoots civilian ammo just fine, but the Yugo surplus sometimes (okay about half the time) takes a couple of hits before it goes BANG. :confused:
Help!

Sounds like it could be either a weak hammer spring, dirty firing pin channel, or stiff firing pin return spring. Wolff offers only recoil and mag springs, but a vendor on Gunbroker offers full spring sets.
Be careful with those pistols, the FP safety rarely works properly, a close friend of mine was killed by one that was dropped.

Maybe the Harrington Products firing pin would help?

yeah, who 's really paranoid? got to be my neighbors, who just moved in from Kalifornia.
Might be an ammo problem rather than a pistol problem. Best way to find out is to try that particular ammo in a similar pistol. Most of the surplus is 50 years old or so and may have been improperly stored.
Any one know where I can get a CZ52 in canada?
