I remember there is a basic design flaw in the CZ-50 and CZ-70, but can't locate what it was.
Can anybody help ?

One issue was that the metallurgy in the CZ-50 slide wasn't what it should have been, and the slide, where it pushes back the hammer when cycling, would eventually form a swollen area on the underside of the slide, from the two different metals (slide and hammer) rubbing against each other. There's a term for that process, but it eludes me at the moment. I had that happen with the CZ-50 I owned, but it never caused function problems with mine - it did with other CZ-50s.
Yes sir..32 ACP?

Are you thinking about the term "galling" where the slide and hammer come in contact with each other?
Gun Master said:Maybe a CZ-70 hammer in the CZ-50 would fit and work to solve the "galling" problem ? For the difference in cost, by having to buy an extra hammer, and with the other improvements, I'd prefer to buy a CZ-70 even though it's not a C&R.
I even bought Marscal grips for it which cost nearly as much as the gun.
Something about wood on steel....
Stuff helps. I wish I had stuff. But when I see it, it's expensive. So, maybe a hell of a deal."$200!?!?"
It was just a few years ago. I probably overpaid. IIRC, it was LNIB with... stuff? Maybe cleaning tool and shoulder holster and papers... something like that. It wasn't my best purchase. It was at least reliable. I like the wood grips above, btw.
Go stand over there while I pump a magazine of .32s into you.
Doesn't seem so flawed now, huh?
OP is a troll.
You reminded me, I saw some of these for sale earlier this year (somewhere... online though) for an okay price with like a holster maybe... and no mag.Be aware that finding spare mags for either of these are like hen's teeth,
