  1. The hammer retainer pin (the little vertical one) also makes a perfect slave pin for aligning the trigger and TRS..... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  2. Stu summed it up well.... I moved to dedicated sao frames for my kadet setup. I run 22lb Wolff springs and still have a killer trigger. I do believe the hammer could crush a good sized rock on it's way in and STILL light off the primer. It's an expensive setup though... I probably wohldnt be as interested if I wasn't steeped so heavy in cz logistics. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
  3. Midwestpx has some bcgs in stock still if you aren't looking for a low-mass setup. http://midwestpx.com/index.php?cPath=52_97
  4. Ya know if I had my ts near I'd revisit this. Going from a long ago foggy memory it seemed like the kadet would fit, or could be made to fjt. The mags would be an issue but there is a kit that will allow a ts to take 75 mags with a shadow mag release and thicker grips to hold the mags. If you had that setup you miiiiight be able to make something work? Sent from my Nexus S using
  5. Concurrent with stuart. Sao is the way to go with the kadet and the more spring you can give them the better. I'm wanting to build a new rimfire steel gun and I'll be ordering a 22lb Wolff spring Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
  6. Stu is the real deal... I'd be lying if I said most of what I know about çz pistols didn't come from him. Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
  7. Interesting discussion. My 9-5 has been as a mobile developer for a couple years now, and coming up with new solutions for gun games problems has kept me awake at night scribbling more than a couple times. The idea of a better way to deal with match scoring is a specific one, and I've made up several storyboards trying to hash out a work flow before abandoning various ideas. Here's my thoughts: The app isn't really the problem. Scoring is more/less data entry, and that's a known route. Registration/administration would also be fairly trivial to add in many cases, as that's also a known problem (user registration) with knowns solutions. Two things that I always get particularly hung up on: First is device cost. Until recently, iOS/Android devices have frankly been expensive. Now the old Palms are about dirt cheap, and it would probably be hard to top that. It does seem though that prices of previous generation devices are getting somewhat cheap. Witness pricing of older iPod Touches, which can be had sub $100. There are also several Android phones (and even some tablets) that can be had in that pricee-range (Woot just had Cruze Android tablets for like $60 - they suck in general, but would probably be great for something like this). How many clubs do you think would honestly have the budget to spring for one or more devices? MD's, is $2-250 worth of devices viable to you? Second is connection issues. This is really my biggest hangup. Most places I shoot (I live in KY, to be fair) don't have wifi; some places I'm lucky to even have a weak edge connection. Now you can certainly store information on the device and lazy load it when you have a connection, but that can get tricky fast (though that would be a software development problem, not necessarily a "your problem"). Plugging in a device to a computer seems like a hinky solution at best. Not being able to communicate from a centralized data source of sorts could be a show stopper. The idea I've been kicking around lately, is sort of along the current trend of Bring Your Own Device. Something along the lines of devices running an app that were "vetted" by a mothership centralized portion of sorts (controlled by the MD), basically meaning they were allowed to be official scorekeepers. This would maybe give you more freedom in terms of devices, the standby being a web app that would run on anything with a browser (be aware though, that web apps get exponentially slower as data speed drops). Connection issues could be resolved by these devices simply storing scores and uploading them to the "mothership" upon having a signal. Once uploaded, the scores would be aggregated into a complete match score. Now I think that could work (it would be somewhat expensive to develop, as I see two native pieces, plus a web client, plus a centralized web backend), but It would mean some coordination on everyone up front. Mainly, I could see the need for a sync before the match starts (to authorize "RO" devices, as well as syncing the registration list and match outline), and again after the match (to push the data from the devices to the "mothership"). Benefits (I would hope) would be a more streamlined scoring setup, with the ability to accomodate more RO's/Devices than other systems, as well as all the benefits of having instant (well, near instant) match administration, less scoring errors, and super fast scoring sent to the public. I realize that might be a little techy, and probably more than many care to sift through. For those who do/did, anyone have any thoughts/comments? Would such a system seem viable for your club/location?
  8. Actually just seen one of these over the weekend and was eyeing it. Sherwood guns, bowling green ky Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
  9. The kadet mags won't work with the new style magwell. You can shave the basepad to make them fit but they are too short to seat. Could always build up polymer on the base to make them longer though Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
  10. ugh...I am in the same boat with two of my Cz's. I've already stripped off cerakote and alumahyde. My big thing is rust and somehow preventing it. Seems like if its not stainless it rusts everything I see it. all these new industrial coatings seem pretty legit at shirking holster abuse.... Any of them good at fending moisture?
  11. I've had the adjustment on CZ set screws come out a couple times.. I actually TIG'd one of my SAO pistols just a touch to lock it in place. I've used rockset on the others and so far so good, but if my hammer wasn't dropping or if it were following they'd be the first thing I cussed. On my production gun.... I actually didn't notice a huge difference with the 85 trigger. I mean, I can tell it's there but it didn't improve my shooting any. I actually run a little overtravel in my triggers as I find it helps me from getting a touch sloppy and tossing a shot.
  12. I've only broken one. Used gun, probably the 2nd month I had it. Replaced it with a Tanfo version from Henning (which are cheap). You guys oil/grease yours? I think it might have been Stuart (or maybe Henning) who I heard say something about keeping oil/grease on the spring to improve it's lifespan.
  13. If you have the money..... it seems the Triji RMR and the Leupold are the two "real" choices. I have a Fastfire and it's OK. I also paid $100 for it..... I don't think they are worth what they are asking new now, personally. I still like the dots in the old Docters, but they are getting harder to find. I'm personally planning on going to Leupold here for two future builds.
  14. Wish Ready Tactical made holster fors CZ's......
  15. I've seen a couple guys having issues with their thumb placement, and the SP01 slide stop. Could always trade someone/buy a regular 75B slide stop and check that out. It's fixed a couple peoples issues I've seen with it's smaller profile.
  16. Just had another shooter last weekend with the same problem. He was running a '75 SA with a 5.5 front, and a comp rear. Shot about an inch high @ 15yds, and 3-4 inches high @ 25 yards. I told him that he should try a 6.5mm high front, or maybe one of those front sight blanks that you can cut down yourself.
  17. How you liking that CZ? Was thinking about looking one of those up...
  18. I'm running Fastmags now.... They are alright. I just got back from a Larry Vickers class and ran into a guy who gave us all some prototype AR pouches. Greg Peters of Peters Holsters was his name...... I think I'm going to start running these when he gets them out. They sit lower on the belt and he worked mine over to have just the right bit of tension near the bottom of the pouch. They are kinda belled a touch at the top and were a whole lot easier than my Fastmag to get mags into to begin with too. I don't hate the Fastmags by any measure, but the Peters stuff was just a little more better I think.
  19. Never heard of one.... Wanna break it down and get some pictures for us?
  20. Hmmm.... Now there's a thought. The belt isn't hugely heavy as I have it setup now (though I don't have a ton of shotshells on it, but I don't feel it's "secure". I can't get the belt cinched tight enough, and it starts riding down. I have a couple ideas I might try out, and I think the suspenders would help. Good lookin' out, and thanks.
  21. No reason it couldn't.... would just require finding some sights and milling them in. My question is: why? I get the redundancy thing, but having sights take up a large portion of an already small viewing window seems counter-productive to being able to shoot a dot well.
  22. So I'm having a hard time finding the belt I want/need. I'm currently running one of those VTAC WAR belts, so I can get ATAS with my ninja rolls, and look good doing it. Actually... I kinda like it because it's big and huge and supports the weight better than my pistol belts. Basically how it works now, I wear a belt with my pants, and then I have a Double Alpha outer belt threaded through there holding all my stuff on it (my stuff, most of which being 1.5" setups). It's not a terrible setup, but there's a lot of overlap in the front making stuff rather bulky and hard to add to. There is no way to setup the belt to mate behind me In my mind I'm looking for something basically like a DA/CR speed outer belt, only with like a fastex clasp up front or something. I want stiff, 1.5", and an easy/secure way to get it on/off with the quickness. I also dont want much overlap. Anyone have any ideas, or running a similar setup? I'd at least be interested in what other people are doing.
  23. I love mine: Though I'm thinking about selling it and doing another; I want a really crazy steel setup.
  24. Sounds like a sick setup... have any pics? Mind me asking how it runs with the forcing cone mods?
  25. I've always been curious to see how hard anodized AL holds up, a la some of the newer Glock/XDm setups. Cheaper/easier to machine, and ultra light weight (which is subjective on merits of worth). Anyone got a lot of major rounds through something like a SJC?
