Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. This^^^ I do this with an old 40cal ammo box tray.
  2. My Oranges came with them installed. I replace them as needed. Thick one in my SP-01 Orange and thin one in my S2 Orange. A while back, I stopped by CZCustom to see if I could buy more. They don't sell them and also don't install them in their custom guns. My SP-01 tactical and safety versions didn't come with them.
  3. Thank you for taking the time to look. This is great info.
  4. Online stores seem to be out of those plastic recoil buffers for CZ 75 and Shadow 2. Lots of 1911/2011 and Tanfoglio available. Has anyone used them as suitable replacements? I'm using the last thin recoil buffer that came with my SP-01 Orange and looking to stock up. I estimate I have 5k rounds before this last one disintegrates. Thanks.
  5. I'm looking for recommendations on high quality punch kits to be used for upgrading parts. 99% of my guns are both polymer and metal CZs. After upgrading the trigger on a CZ P-10 and bending a roll pin punch from Amazon in the process, I'm ready to buy a kit that will last. Wheeler and Grace USA are on my list. Any input is appreciated.
  6. Thank you! They also have remington small pistol primers as of this post.
  7. For a while, I was using a laser cartridge during every dry fire training session but found myself looking for the red dot rather than calling my shots. Bad habit... I put it away and may consider using it sparingly to mixed things up. It did help with diagnosing my DA trigger pull resulting in low right shots (Southpaw here)

    My P10C mods

    I'm somewhat disappointed with my P-09 which I bought after a P-07 Duty. The Duty has an unbelievably smooth albeit heavy trigger pull(no polishing done, just upgraded springs) so I was expecting similar qualities in their P-09. Talked to the folks at CGW yesterday. They will have more parts and packages for the P10c in the coming weeks. Thanks for sharing your P10C mods.
  9. We let the PCC shooters go first or last. Otherwise, it tends to break up the rhythm if they shoot somewhere in the middle of the order. At least, that is the perception.
  10. With the UNLOADED gun, take a pencil and insert it into the barrel with the eraser end first so it is against the firing pin hole. Pointed skyward, pull the trigger. The pencil should jump just enough to be noticeable and may even "shoot" out of the barrel. You can also try it in SA.

    SP01 and mags

    I had somewhat similar issues not too long ago. I installed a new slide release and haven't had any magazine related issues since. I'm about 2k rounds into the new slide release. My slide release does move away a touch from the frame during use but not enough to cause issues. Here is my take on what may be causing slide lock issue. The slide release is moved away from the frame enough that the "nub" is too far away for the mag follower to push it up and lock the slide back. Here is what I would do: Take the slide off Push on the slide release nub with my fingers resulting in the slide release lever being pushed away from the frame. Insert Mec Gar and CZ magazines and observe if the followers is able to push the nub up or not. Based on that, you may need a new slide release. Hopefully that makes sense. It does to me
  12. I have a P-07 and an SP-01 with LOK Grenade grips. I understand that Bogies are the most aggressive grips LOK has. With that in mind, the Grenade grips are much more "grippier" than the stock P-07 or P-09 for that matter. Shooting in Arizona heat, my hands can get pretty sweaty but I've never had an issue with wet hands with Grenade grip. But I do have some issue with the P-07/P-09 and keep a towel nearby. Daughter's hands sweat too and often looses her grip with the P-09. I plan to either provide her with some grip liquid solution or stipple the P-09. Good luck
  13. As a lefty who shoots lots of double stack pistols, I empathize with you. I tried using my trigger or the middle finger to press the mag release when on the left side. I also tried shifting my grip to get my strong hand thumb to reach the button when on the right side. For me, shifting my grip was easier, faster and more natural. I can't comment on using the support hand to manipulate the button. Good luck Sent from my P01M using Tapatalk
  14. I don't like it autoforwarding. I want my pistol to be consistent; Ideally, either it happens all the time or none of the time. Some light research suggests the contact surface of the slide stop needs to be shaped in order to affect autoforwarding. For now, I'm not at that level for it to make a different in match results. Silver lining is it will teach me to "listen" for it. I found that the slide stop can work its way out a bit and below is a picture of it as an extreme example. So two issues: bent slide stop and can work itself out a bit. Picked up a new slide stop from CZCustoms. New part has some play(but you have to force it) but is more flush than the stock slide stop. That alone appears to resolve the issue during dry fire. Going to the range today and then a match either tomorrow or Sunday. I shoot IDPA SSP at the present time. So 90% of my reloads is from slide lock with 10 or 11 rounds in the mags. Interesting product.
  15. Local club holds up to 5 idpa matches(4 stages) and one classifier a month. Although I do like having so many monthly matches, sometimes I would trade them for less matches with more intricate stages. I might have to have a chat with the Division director about that.
