Bored, ignoring my hw.

So I found out that the recoil spring in my CZ75B has a plastic guide rod. Is it strong enough to hold up to much shooting? Is it worth replacing with a metal one or is it not really a big deal?

Why would they make that part out of plastic?

All stock ones a plastic. They work just great. dont worry

not a fan of that trigger

Modern plastics and polymers are actually based as fuck. It'll hold up well and will be lighter than a steel one.

I've seen them fail but it was after a lot of rounds so if you're just a casual shooter it should be fine.

the 2 big things you need to worry about in a CZ75 is the firing pin retaining pin (older ones are single roll, which led to breaking) and the slide stop. The slide stop being probably the first thing that'll break if you shoot the pistol a lot.

It will be fine, if you really want to you could replace is with a metal one but I doubt you will ever fire enough rounds to wear out the plastic one.

>nothing to it but to do it
every time i had a long paper to write, id remind myself of this. just do it and get it done.

You can get solid pins for like $5 each.

The plastic rod is good for 20,000 P+ rounds.
And the stainless rod is a Downgrade, not an upgrade
Pic is the stainless rod mY sp-01
Notice how it doesn't align properly?
It's shit, there a reason why it has a point to align itself
It wears out the gun and rod due to bad tolerances.

Here is the Shadow plastic guide rod.
It aligns almost perfectly

There's a reason an army of Cz engineers chose plastic rod.

If its for a gen-ed course who cares. If it for a course for your major you should feel bad.
