Unexpected Small Bonus

[sparkyv]

This came with a new CZ handgun. I've several, but haven't previously had this goodie included. It took me quite some time before I understood what it was. Is this something CZ includes with new firearms these days, or perhaps was this provided by the gun shop?

I've got several sets of them from various CZ's over the years. Cushions the firing pin. Always use them when you're dryfiring a CZ. The roll pin in the slide will get battered by the firing pin if you don't. The roll pins are cheap and easy to replace. After owning and shooting a bunch of CZ's over the years checking the roll pins is second nature but I still use the snap caps when dryfiring. An ounce of prevention and all that.

Not ear plugs?

Snap caps. Nice touch!

Plus extra centers to replace the wore out ones!
I’m impressed.

My first CZ (a P01) purchased new in '10 or '11, came with 10 snap caps. Same with a P07 that I received for Christmas several years later.

Plus extra centers to replace the wore out ones!
I’m impressed.

I haven't seen the CZ snap caps in a long time.

I haven't seen the CZ snap caps in a long time.

There weren’t any included with my new CZ75 Compact purchased three months ago.

Mine was of 2023 manufacture.

That’s a Neat idea. At first I thought it was an earplug dispenser. I am looking at it on my iPhone. Once I zoomed in I realized what it must be.

Side note: I make my own snap caps using spent cases, sized, deprimed and a bullet or no bullet inserted, and crimped and I fill the primer pocket with hot glue from a hot glue gun. They work pretty well.

Took me awhile to figure it out as the green "primer" wasn't inserted into the rim of the snap cap.

Over 2 dozen CZs, several costing 1500 plus, never once got those.

Thats why I replaced all my CZ-75 guns’ roll pins with CGW’s solid pins. This, IMHO, is the No. 1 weakness with the CZ design.

Stay safe.

I have 7, same here.

A nice little addition to the CZ kit, though.

Stay safe.

Make my own snapcaps/dummy rounds, but always drill the cases through so there is no mistake about what is what.
Nylon screws can be pressed into the primer pocket, to protect the firing pin.
