  1. Some want a lighter muzzle so they use titanium comps
  2. I believe Grams makes two spring and follower kits. One for the MecGar mags and one for the CZ mags. Found this out when I ordered for the CZ mags with logo but later found out the mags were made by MecGar.
  3. I just ordered one and waiting for it to arrive.
  4. I have the Taylor Freelance ones and the Henning ones. Both fit the gauge with MecGar 17 rd mags. The TF ones require an allen wrench to remove and can be a hassle but they are secure. The Henning ones have a spring loaded pin and they are so easy to remove when cleaning and so far haven’t come off unexpectedly.
  5. And you can polish up the CZC replacement part
  6. I believe the factory part does contact the magazine. I changed mine out and haven’t had any issues. You can try and take it out and see how it ejects the mags. CZC is what I use.
  7. Did you check if the mags are rubbing against the magazine brake/guide?
  8. I still have the Burner series VHS tapes.

    Shadow 2 locked up

    Thanks for the tips. I was able to tap the safety lever down to the fire position and that freed up the slide. The casing was an unloaded fired case. The slide stop is intact and the safety still functions normally. Trying to figure out why this gun does this and why my other S2 doesn’t. Both have the extended left side lever and both have the flat slim LOK grips. Only difference between them is the one that locks up the slide has Cajun internals and the one that doesn’t lock up the slide has CZ Custom internals.

    Shadow 2 locked up

    Thanks. There’s a partially chambered loaded round. Looks like I might have to use a soft hammer.

    Shadow 2 locked up

    Shooting a steel match and my S2 locked up about a half inch out of battery and the safety is on. Unable to deactivate the safety and unable to move the slide. Any ideas on how to get it open?
  12. I just got my frame back from Cajun Gun Works. The relief cuts on the barrel bed cost $120.00 plus return shipping to the middle of the ocean.
  13. I have that same 3 barrel setup. Might get a sight block 9mm barrel for LO. In the meantime, I’m breaking it in so far less than 300 rounds and counting. Didn’t know shooting 9mm minor in open would be fun.
  14. If you mounting to a plate, some plate manufacturers will recommend a torque value. I go 15-20 inch pounds on the SRO to a CHPWS plate. I mounted a RTS2 on my aluminum optic mount on my open gun at 20 inch pounds. All mounted with medium strength thread locker.
  15. If you’re going to be mounting a thumb rest the screw heads will be covered and can’t see them. I would just use the 5-40 screws and it will allow the thumb rest to seat flush against the mount.
  16. I shot my new Honcho yesterday in 38SC and using Eley ammo (same lot that recorded a 174 of at A2 last year in my old gun) and had 6 failures to go into battery. Most I just had to apply slight pressure on the back of the slide and a couple I had to retract the slide a few millimeters and let go then it went into battery. Maybe it just needs to be broken in and the accuracy was impressive. I’m thinking of using a heavier spring for break in and going back to the 6lb once the gun smooths out. I was using new MBX 140 and STI and 2011 170’s. Only fired 35 rounds so far.
  17. Thanks for trying it and posting your results. I have a new Honcho to try out and conventional thinking had me seriously considering a heavier recoil spring.
  18. I don’t think there’s any harm in trying it since others have used a 7lb and it worked for them.
  19. Since I just received my PT Honcho I would have them fit a sight block barrel. The frame is already drilled and tapped or I can get a plate for the already cut slide. So Phoenix Trinity
  20. Got it. The fit and finish is great. I have to go and shoot it. Looking forward to this shooting season with my new Honcho.
  21. My first S2 had the extended safety on the left side as I shoot with my shooting hand thumb riding the safety. On my second S2 it only came with the flat thumb safety so I tried it that way. During practice the slide would partially lock open for no apparent reason. After a few times I saw the thumb safety was partially engaged and I must have been pushing up on the thumb safety during recoil. A good friend gave me his extended thumb safety and I haven’t had any issues with the slide locking partially back. So I would use the extended thumb safety.
  22. Coat it ASAP. I installed it on my pistol and used a silicone cloth to wipe it down after every outing. Worked well for a little while but eventually it started to discolor (rust). I have the aggressive texture so that made it more difficult to maintain. Then I had it blasted and Cerakoted. If the texture is too aggressive, an extra layer of coating tones down the aggressiveness.

    How many coils?

    They wouldn’t even sell me extended base pads (Hawaii)

    How many coils?

    Gonna try it. Any info on how long the spring lasts?
