New CZ 75b concern

**XwazaX** · January 31st, 2009, 07:41 PM

So I recently purchased a CZ 75b. Have not fired it just cleaned it real good. I noticed a small gap (about the size of two pieces of paper) between the barrel and the slide above the extractor. I put a spent casing in and I could see a little bit of it. In the attached pic, the pencil is pointing to where the gap is. Is this a valid concern or is this ok?
I sent an email to CZ usa but I thought this would be faster.
Thanks in advance.

My CZ75SP01 has that as does my S&W 5906, Taurus PT745, PT1911, my RIA GI and Tactical and my Ruger P90. It is the way the barrel is made, nothing to worry about unless it is large and then you would check to see if the gun is actually going into battery correctly.

I don't see a gap like that on my 75B. If you can see brass, I think that's a bit of a concern. But then again, I'd still go shoot it and see what happens.

My SP01 looks like that as well.

I have the same thing on mine, Not to worry, it is the way they are made.

Some manufacturers call that a shell in battery indicator.

CZs are supposed to be like that.
