Yesterday, while I was hard at work, the Fed Ex man brought back my wayward 9mm CZ.
Backstory:
When I first got the gun, I went back to CZ-USA and they replaced the gun for an out of spec frame that caused the mags to stick in the grip.
It developed a problem.
It went back to the mothership
I got home last night, and started dry firing. YAY! The hammer fell all the way to the pin 100% of the time. Awesome. Now I need to get a few hudred rounds of 9mm and go burn ammo and make totally sure it works.
I started doing drills and slapped the magazine that went back to CZ with the gun into the mag well. I hit the release to drop that mag out, and it stuck in the mag well.
I just about came unglued. I was going to call CZ and rip them a new one. I could not believe my freaking luck... but I stopped, took a deep breath and looked deeper into the issue.
CZ gave the gun a deep clean while it was back in Kansas City, and left a lot of oil inside the magazine well. I wiped that out, and the mags dropped free 100%. Man, I almost gave myself a heart attack freaking out over that.
The gun is back home in my safe. It seems to be working. CZ-USA is making it right. This has been a pretty damn good August for me.

That is such great news. I just wish I could have been there with a camera when you hit that mag release. This gives me hope that my KT issue will be resolved. Sounds like we both have ammo to burn in "testing".
