  1. with a little work you can have the slide modified for a RMR pattern, which is the most common. they'd need to mill out the other mounting holes and fill with inserts most likely, but it can be done. 

    I went through a half dozen DPP before switching to an SRO, it hasn't failed me yet, but the DPPs were a monthly failure item. 

  2. it is very common for the safety to be able to be pushed up when the hammer is down. Nothing is wrong. And no, your slide should not move or hammer be able to be racked if the safety is up. It's simply the cam lobe on the safety sneaking by the leg of the sear. Some guns it happens, even new from the factory, others it happens when people over fit the sear, or the safety lobe. so long as the safety works with the hammer back and doesn't allow the hammer to fall, all is good. 

  3. @flying_franklin I haven't yet, but Joseph Wu has a very nice setup for doing them out here in BC. Once I find my slide and my Kadet 2 slide, I'll be taking them into him to get done. But, currently their whereabouts are unknown lol. Packed somewhere for the move and not found yet at the new place. 

  4. I used an extended firing pin as a sponsor sent me one with a bunch of other parts, took it out after finding it didn't make any difference and at the time it not being legal to use in competition. Never bothered with one after that. I think they are a waste of money. Super light firing pin spring, yes. I just stay at 10lb for main spring and it lights off everything, Ginex, CCI, Federal, S&B, Fiocchi, Armscor, Remington, Winchester, I've never had an issue with a regular firing pin. I used to run an 8lb main and did suffer the odd light strike, same with 9lb with some of my practice ammo, so I just went with a 10lb and stayed there. The extended firing pin didn't help, only spring weight did. 

  5. Using a wide frame slide stop means the slidestop won't sit up tight to the frame of a Shadow or regular 75. As well, the S2 slidestop has a longer follower leg, which can catch on bullets and prematurely lock the slide back while firing, in a regular 75. 

  6. I think it might have to do with the initial shot taken and it's relationship to the chrono. Once the chrono knows where to expect a bullet to come from, it will ignore other shots. Like if you moved your gun to the other side of the chrono it might not add that shot to the string either? Something I hope someone tests soon.

    Watching the video made me wonder how wide the pickup range was on the Garmin.  Don’t know if it could happen but if at a range with other shooters next to you could it pick up their shots too? 

    lots of videos out now with people trying the Garmin on a busy firing line, while it is possible for it to pick up a shot if the rifle is close enough, there seems to be some sort of magic where it knows it's not your gun being fired and doesn't add the shot to the list. I don't know if it can tell the shot came from a different location and thus ignores the data or what, but it seems very consistent in only adding your own shots to the list. 

     

  8. yes CZ uses 124gr for their pistols as the standard load. But even factory shooters over the last year have commented on (me included) the throats being significantly shorter than before. At the World Shoot in Thailand even Robin Sebo was having issues with his new Czechmate and his normal match loads, they would not plunk into the barrel at all. 

  9. Couldn't see in the video, but are any of your dies touching the shellplate when the toolhead is full bottom? I know the sliding collar of the FW arms does, that doesn't matter, but sizing die, crimping die, any solid dies, touching, will mess up COAL. 

  10. a brass rod would just wear out over time due to the shellplate contacting it during rotation. MK7 alleviates that by having a probe retractor that sits at the outside edge of the shellplate and is designed to take the abuse of the rotating shellplate and push the probe down as the shellplate moves. You'd need to do that, or just regularly replace the brass probe. 

    A camera or laser sensor would probably be the way to go. 

  11. I run the Popper exclusively on my Revo and Mk7 automated 1050, and normally run the standard pins, they punch through the small flash holes just fine usually, but that can leave a bur, or flashing that can interfere with primer seating. Usually the reamer in the swage station will pick that up. When I know I'm going to be seeing small flash hole stuff for sure, I swap out the pin to the 0.057 one and run it. Usually forgetting to swap it out for normal brass and then sadly breaking it on a rock or something (I process other people's brass and they suck sometimes at removing debris). The large pins break in that case too, so it's not like the small pin breaks that much easier. 

    The MA pins will thread in, but they are nowhere near as durable as the FW ones, buy a bunch of the FW ones and be happy. 

  12. good to see what the issue was. The newer CZs have really really short throats, even the CZechMate. No idea why they've done this. I've had to reduce my OAL for my 147s to 1.095", I used to load to 1.12" 

  13. trim the screw so you can screw it in further. it will only barely stick out the face of the trigger on a gun without the reach reduction kit, but will work if you make the screw short enough. Too long of a screw and it binds up on the trigger return spring.
