Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. Several of mine and friends done by CZ Custom with plate adapter. The latest, greatest optic has changed several times in the couple of years I've been shooting them, nice to have future flexibility.
  2. Shot mine finally yesterday, nice and crisp, light and very short reset.
  3. BTW, I replaced the Q5SF extractor spring with CZ75 spring, works fine. I think it is the standard CZ spring, but could be the extra power. Would try both for those that need one.
  4. @Keithwhite100 Thanks for your review of your efforts. I faced a similar dilemma with extraction jams and did not shoot my Q5SF in matches pretty much for over a year until that was sorted out with a stronger extractor spring. I’ve been able to make it work with down to a 12# recoil spring (glock 34) with ~135PF 124 gr rounds. Looking at my current setup, I did notice that it requires a good bit of force to unlock and extract an unfired round from the chamber, way more than my CZs. Wonder if there is an issue with a tight lockup in this gun that is showing up as trouble with extraction. I slightly polished the top edge of the front of the barrel hood that locks up, which seemed to help. Interested in others observations.
  5. Yeah, I had trouble also with Syntech 150’s and lighter recoil spring, as those rounds are pretty soft and slide is slow coming forward already due to cocking the striker at the end of the cycle.
  6. get stronger extractor spring if recoil spring does not solve your problem
  7. You need an extra power extractor spring. keithwhite100@gmail.com will sell you one. https://www.waltherforums.com/threads/walther-ppq-q5-match-steel-frame-ftes.116510/page-12
  8. The SP01 Shadow versions are what you want for competition, if you prefer that grip over the large S2. Shadow implies no firing pin block, thus better trigger pull. SP01 Shadow Custom are CZ Custom shop versions with all the trigger work and basic tuning out of the box, good value and nice trigger.
  9. This is the Walther instructions on how to adjust the sear screw on their Expert trigger. Understand DIY adjustments may vary based on location of screw, thread pitch, etc, https://www.carl-walther.com/fileadmin/uploads/media/manuals/284_10_53_BA_Q5_Match-SF_EXPERT_International_Inhalt_2019-03-29_LR.pdf Of note, the picture mislabels the SA lever and sear as one for the other.
  10. I haven’t broken one on my SF despite 10k rounds. Walther does recommend using snap cap if dry firing cocked trigger “to protect the striker”. I just saw that today, but had not always used a snap cap up until now.
  11. Mine did not work from the factory. Trigger safety would engage during normal trigger pulls and thus was not deemed reliable.

    S2 with SRO

    You can also just use a metal file, they only need to be shortened few thousands, typically. Use calipers on the screw to see how you are progressing.
  13. The Q5 SF cocks the striker in last 1/8" per Imaoldfart @ Waltherforums as it returns to battery. If using reduced power recoil spring, less power to return, thus use reduced striker spring. With a very weak recoil spring (Sprinco white) and stock striker spring, you can get a partial return to battery that still lets you pull the trigger, get a click, but no bang as releasing the sear and striker spring gets the slide to move fully into battery, but the striker doesn't have enough energy left to set off the primer. Had that happen before using reduced striker spring.
  14. Romeo Max looks like it sits up fairly high. RMR and SRO sit a bit lower. I went through 2 Romeos in 2 weeks, switched to RMR03, have 3 of them running fine for past 10 months, about 6k through each. Looking forward to SRO for window size, but I rarely lose dot in RMR after regular practice, still occasionally in weird positions.
