Just curious guys, I was looking at a buddy's CZ 858 he just got and well, if you hold the action half open after cocking the thing and pull the trigger the firing pin drops.

Is this not a potentially unsafe situation on a closed bolt gun. I mean I know the UZIs orgionally had solid firing pins, however, a CZ is a closed bolt design with locking lugs. Therefore would this not be potentially unsafe like an SKS slam firing a single time?

I dunno I know the chances of a trigger getting pulled that fast (since the action closes quickly) are rare it just really struck me as odd because every semi auto gun I have seen has some sort of disconnect that prevents the thing from firing unless the locking lugs are engaged.

Maybe an expert can point out if it is safe or not?

Maybe this gun is faulty?
 
Yes and no.......The ARs do it to, for that mater so do alot of firearms, Next time remove mag, clear, flip over and look through the mag well, youll see the gap from the bolt and the carrier, if you pull back on the charging handle youll see that the bolt will stay locked as the carrier moves for a short distence, at this point the overall langth prevents the striker from contacting the fireingpin, if the trigger was pulled in this one onethousandth of a second the striker will fallow the carrier down and result in a light primer strike, just so happens to be what happens when they talk about the gremlin.

Sorry about the spelling:D
