I've been looking for the same for a while...tagged!

I've used the SureFire free app in the past on my iPhone 2 and 4S. Worked OK in a quiet setting, but not at the range...the microphone doesn't seem sensitive enough to pick up my shots against the background noise (with the phone sitting on a table next to me, or on my belt/in shirt pocket), even after playing around with the sensitivity control. It was very helpful when practicing with airsoft guns in the garage, but again the location of the phone was critical. I messed around with using a remote cabled microphone (from a old style cabled mic clipped on to my wrist), but the short length of the cable was an ongoing challenge. I ended up buying a CED4000, but the iPhone was a decent start for essentially zero cost. Barry

Just an FYI for anyone on the West Coast...This is not the Trek Bicycle Superstores we have, I called three locations here in San Diego area, and "our" Trek doesn't carry Rudy's. Bummer as I was pretty excited about getting a new pair for $99! Barry

I have had the same problem many times. Try bending/pulling on the attachment and holster such that there is tension on the screw and insert, or insert a wedge (thin bladed screwdriver or similar) in the attachment to accomplish the same. keep tension on the parts while you loosen the screws. Hope this works for you - I've felt your pain. : ) Barry

This too. I usually can release a Glock trigger just TO reset (i.e. with no slack), but that was resulting in a PD with the CZ (LOL). Thanks much, everyone...really appreciate the feedback. Sweet gun, I am looking forward to becoming competent with it! Barry Barry

Hey....this works. Bingo! I tried racking the slide (without holding the trigger back) and obviously that resets to DA. Not what I would have thought of (i.e. forgetting sight picture), but for what I'm trying to do it will work. Thanks mucho! Barry

As additional input, I've shot a DA/SA gun many times (S&W 5906, Beretta 96, etc)...not so much a problem with those guns. The problem seems to be somewhat specific to the CZ, where the trigger break point between DA and SA is very far apart - just measured this on mine, and it's very nearly 1/2". I've seen the trigger mods by Cajun Gunworks to address this, essentially moving the DA trigger back about 1/4", which would help, but I'd prefer to master the stock trigger (and keep the gun Production legal). Barry

Thanks, appreciate the reply. Do you shoot an SA-only CZ? I have no issues prepping trigger in either mode, just not in sequence...first SA shot (2nd shot in sequence) is premature. I am used to getting off the first shot as soon as I have the front sight on target and prepping the trigger while moving to the next target. I'm getting a "PD" somewhere between the two, since there is such a large difference in trigger characteristics. FYI, I have small to medium hands (short fingers) and have some home-made thin AL grips on it at the moment. That's not my issue, it's ingraining into muscle memory the significantly different feel between DA and SA that I'm looking for input on. Barry

Thanks - I don't have an issue with the first DA shot, I racked off about 20 practice rounds in DA, all in the A head box at 25 yards. It's the transition to SA that is messing me up, and that I need to learn/practice. Going from 6+ lbs with the trigger forward to 2.4 lbs with the trigger WAY back is my issue. I can see I'm not alone, lots of mentions here, but no suggestions for a training program to help the learning curve. Barry

Does anyone know if this mod is Production legal? I'm in the process of switching from Glocks to a Custom Shop SP01, and this very issue is really messing me up (I posted a thread on this today). Barry

Gents - Looking for some advice on the best way to learn how to adapt to shooting a DA/SA trigger. I'm an occasional USPSA/Steel Challenge competitor. I've been shooting Glocks (G35, G22, and G34) for the last four years, most of that time using a Vanek Custom trigger setup at about 2.5-2.75 lbs. I'm very used to how the Glock trigger feels and staging/preloading the trigger for follow-on shots is very natural for me. I'm in the process of switching over to a CZ Custom Shop SP01. I really like the way the CZ feels (with thin grips), it's far more accurate than my Glocks, and I really like the smoothness of the trigger in SA. But...the major difference in trigger pull, both in length and weight, between the first DA shot and subsequent SA pulls is really messing me up. Both in practice, and in my first match using the CZ, I am launching the first follow-up SA shot prematurely. The DA trigger staging point is at least 3/8" in front of the SA break point, the DA trigger breaks at 6 lbs vs. 2.4 lbs in SA, and the throw between the SA stage and break is extremely short/quick (less than 1/16"). Question - what is the best way, short of tons more live fire practice, to 'learn' the CZ trigger? Dry practice is difficult, due to the need to pull the hammer back to set the trigger in SA for each pull (i.e, interrupts the 'flow' between the DA/SA pulls). Might be as simple as "just get used to it", but I am curious to see what others have done. Love the CZ and want to make my limited practice time as effective as possible. TIA - Barry

Look for a source of skateboard tape... for example, http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords=skateboard+tape&x=9&y=21 Have fun! Barry

Brownell's also carries them - when SC did not have my size available, Brownell's did - prices about the same, IIRC. Barry

Seems to be hit or miss...here's a thread on Calguns talking about some issues... http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=281581 There's other similar threads. Caveat emptor! Barry
