It is pretty damn accurate. Opinions on whether its even worth the money on the TS? Would you do it again or it didn't improve enough to notice during competition?
I'd do it again because I find comfort in knowing that the equipment cannot be blamed for my accuracy problems. I also am lucky enough to have disposable income to act so foolishly.
There is the roulette game with the manufacturers tolerances and the resultant accuracy. Some factory pistols are excellent, some are not. It's just how the tolerances play out for you. The bushing takes that variation away. If I had to trim cost somewhere, it would be considered. I'd put the gun on a rest and see how it does. If it is over a 2-3" group I'd sway back towards the bushing.

I have one on my .40. Its nice and it definitely improve accuracy. That said the standard TS straight out of the box ain't exactly a slug in the accuracy department.
I share the same experience with my bushing. It's quite accurate but wasn't terrible to begin with.

My wife would beg to differ. Both have cost me a lot of money.

If you are in the CONUS, send me your address an I'll send you a spare trigger spring.

Thanks for the comments. On another forum a CZ gunsmith with a lot of experience hadn't seen this.
It's a LPA TRT adjustable.
Only 0.72 mm in vertical thickness and 0.6 in the width in the failure cross section.

The sight broke during a shooting session under recoil. No dropping of the firearm. The metal is very thin in this area (holes for springs) and it looks like it was cast, but I can't be sure until I take it to work and check it out under the microscope. I'd say that's it is the weak point.
I don't have a spare Tactical Sport, but it's in the long term plans.
I have an extra Ed Brown Bomar sight, but these are the LPA TRT cut where the adjustment screw threads in the sight and not the slide.

Snapped this one last night. Looks like I won't be shooting Limited next weekend..
Was going to try the Caspian Arms rear sight. Any opinions/experiences with them? Others?

I'm not at all good at photography. But, I got my Tactical Sport back from Scalpel arms this week and got it reassembled today. I should have ordered some black grip screws. Had to spray paint the original ones and they look like crap. I went with Tungsten and Armor Black controls and grips. I am extremely pleased with the work they did. Any defect, mark, etc in the pic is purely due to my lack of photography skills.
That looks really sharp. Good choices on the colors.

I had the same thing happen to me at Area 3...but found it out during the match. I think the TSA must hit the natural frequency of that sucker because I've never had a problem before (or since). Red Locktite on my dovetails now when I put it back in. Blue on the screws.
-
I have larger hands (right hand dominant) and recently removed my extended safety. I've noticed that during week hand shooting, I will occasionally bump the safety. The same occasionally happens during reloads. I'm going to run stock for a while and see how I like it.
-
Never done that, but for some odd reason I have one in my spare kit.
I'm guessing there was a quench crack or some kind of preexisting defect in the wire...you were just the unlucky winner of randomness.
-
Just got this put back together. Thanks to Canyon Creek for welding a piece of metal for the safety extension, Cheely Custom for machining the slide, CZ Custom for the bushing and Yousef and IonBond for the coating.
Can you share the contact for who did the grip and barrell?
I did the work myself except the machining and welding.
-
Can you tell me were I can find some ambi extended thumb safeties for a SP-01 Shadow. I just purchased a used one and the safeties have been shortened for the previous owner and are hard to deactivate for me. Thank you.
Do you have a picture of the ones you have? I have some of the standard extended CZ custom safeties I'd be willing to trade based upon the type you have.
-
Yes, sure, there is movement between the barrel and the "bushing".
Between grip and slide too.
This is a dang nice group there!
How did you get this bushing in?
CZ Custom threaded the end of the slide (like a 97 model) and it then "spins" in (also has a reverse plug for the recoil spring).
I wonder if your bushing to barrel clearance is too great? Of course I'd try different ammo combinations first but maybe there is something going on there? Just guessing at this point.
-
Can you feel any movement between the barrel muzzle end and the bushing during lockup (slide forward)? What about the chamber/breech end?
Here's a target from CZ Custom. I assume 25m but maybe Stuart can chime in?
-
My IPSC Standard with the Accu-bushing is an absolute tack driver. I use 5.1gr of VV 320 and a 180gr jacketed bullet (light crimp) or 4.8gr VV320 with a polymer coated lead 180gr (no crimp). I'll have to measure a round to get the OAL
An accurate 155gr load was 8.0gr of HS6.
Hope this helps my badische freund

Does anyone know how (who) to request a refund? I found out I'm traveling for work now and I didn't want to get beat by the Glock girls in my squad.
Somehow I ended up on that squad too.
Maybe we can package our entries together as a "USPSA Voyeur Package" for a $1000 or a pound of VV N320.
Have fun, I wish I could be there instead of fun above the Arctic Circle. Wish everyone well.

Thanks, I'm going to checker the back in 30 lpi also.
Here are a couple of pics of the process, I machined a couple of guide plates to keep the file centered on the front strap. Due to the upsweep at the bottom of the front strap all of the vertical cutting must be done with the front row of teeth on the file, these wear out pretty fast so I would clamp the end of the file in the vice and break a small part off exposing a fresh row of teeth. Had to buy a second file to finish the horizontal lines.
Excellent idea!

Those borken firing pins. If I ever meet those fargen bastages who heat treated those chicken bones they call steel, I'll smack that ice hole right in da mouth. That kind of quality is just bullstein.

For what it is worth, my IPSC Standard locks on the last round with the Grams followers.
Also note, I can't get 21 in there....yet.
-
Cheely Custom did mine. I was satisfied.

I have a German produced model and I have been very happy with it. While not my choice for shooting Production, I think it's a reliable, accurate, and functional DA/SA weapon for the money. My trigger pull was somewhat heavy but it's reasonably smooth. I often put this pistol in my glove box when traveling and was concealed carrying the pistol until I purchased a CZ PCR.

Three or four hours including the removal of the cast checkering.wow that checkering looks great, how long did it end up taking?
*edit: I just remembered that I had taken the cast stuff off the day before so make that 4 to 5 hours of total time.
That's probably pretty good time and the results look good.

Shameless plug, but I have a 97BE (Cajun) that I'm trying to sell if someone really has the burning desire for one. Need the money to build an Open gun.
