Getting light primer strikes after installing lighter hammer springs on your CZ 75, SP-01, or Shadow 2? The CZ Extended Firing Pin is the essential fix — restoring 100% ignition reliability with aftermarket trigger spring kits. A must-have companion for any CZ trigger job, trusted by Australian IPSC and USPSA competition shooters.
The CZ Extended Firing Pin solves the number one problem after a trigger job — light primer strikes. When you install lighter hammer or trigger springs for a crisper pull, the factory firing pin often lacks the reach and mass to reliably ignite primers. This extended pin restores 100% ignition reliability, making it the essential companion to any CZ trigger upgrade.
Key Features
- Extended Length — Additional reach ensures reliable primer strikes even with reduced-power hammer springs.
- Hardened Steel Construction — Built to withstand tens of thousands of strikes without mushrooming or deforming.
- Universal CZ 75 Platform Fit — One pin fits CZ 75, SP-01, Shadow, and Shadow 2 models.
- Essential After Trigger Work — The go-to fix for light primer strikes caused by aftermarket spring kits.
- Drop-In Installation — Direct replacement for the factory firing pin with no fitting required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an extended firing pin if I have not changed my CZ springs?
If your factory springs are intact and you're getting reliable ignition, the stock pin is fine. This becomes essential when you install lighter hammer or trigger springs.
Will the extended firing pin fix light primer strikes on a CZ Shadow 2?

Yes. Internal replacement parts like firing pins are permitted in all IPSC divisions, including Production.
What material is the CZ extended firing pin made from?
Hardened tool steel — designed for long service life and consistent primer strikes.
Can I install a CZ extended firing pin myself?
Most competent DIY shooters can handle this with basic tools and a YouTube guide. If you're not confident working inside the slide, a gunsmith can do it in 10 minutes.
