Just bought a CZ 452 off this sight. Dry fired a few times to check trigger and out to the range. Nothing. Firing pin is broken. CZ USA has none but will notify me when (if) they get some in. Searched internet and found none. Had to order one from Europe. Process was as normal in US so went through with it.

Anyone had problems ordering from Europe online? Anyone have a pin?

  Doesn't look like a cheap part. I would try and repair the broken one.
  
  85 euros with shipping I think. http://www.shop-cz.com/striker-standard-zkm-452-453/d-71789/

  I just ordered it on line like any other website. Seems to be going through ok.
  
  The tip broke off and the flaw is obvious in the metal. Not sure how you could repair that...

  You cut it square at the break or the next size step larger, center punch then drill. At least low temperature Silver solder a new section of good steel like drill rod or music wire into the hole. Trim to proper length, shape to correct profile.
  
  I have made many such repair to firing pins. Length is critical on rim-fire ones set up for dry fire. A ball nose profile for center-fire, conical is bad.
