    Question CZ PO-7

    Please help
    I had the misfortune this weekend with my PO-7 GEN 1. I used factory ammo " New Generation ammunition " the case burst open and the force destroyed the CZ as per the attachments. Does anyone know why and what happened to my handgun ?
    Regards

    You did not use factory ammo.

    You used factory reloads, by a company that is no longer in business and that, towards the end of their life, had a reputation for exceptionally poor quality.

    Cheap ammo is cheap right up until it isn't.

    As to what to do, take it up with the dealer who sold you the ammo.

    New ammo you say,which brand if i may ask?
    That looks like "brass/metal-fatique" on an overload perhaps?

    I've seen that happen a few times to P07 gen 1 frames.

    Sucks man, but guns are unfortunately perishable items. Always good to have two registered.

    Thank you for sharing Rinder. Will be useful to many.

    I see a lot of dealers will confuse newbies selling them reloaded ammo as factory ammo. Only when pressed they admit to it being "Factory reloaded ammo".

    There's reloaded ammo.

    There's factory ammo.

    I think we need ban the term "factory reloaded ammo".

    Fair enough. I just read his comment, didn't look at the pictures.
    Looks like it happens to P07's full stop. Not very confidence inspiring.

    Let me guess. Glock owner?

    Leave this to the experts okay? As in what SSP said. Clearly an ammo related issue.

    You're the expert you're referring to I'm guessing?
    I have a P07 Gen 2 fully Cajunized, amongst other CZ's. I also own Glocks. I hope this doesn't blow your mind.
