Sure, this comp could be bored out for 40: https://www.ericgrauffelonlineshop.com/en/tanfoglio-parts-/95-gold-custom-compensator.html
And this barrel can be cut, threaded M15X0.75, and trimmed to fit through the front of the slide.

wow, I should have came up with something different for the title... anyways. My charge weights fluctuate plus or minus .05gn. I am loading 38$c, 125gn blues, 10.4gn AA#7 is what I am aiming for. 1.225 OAL.
Are you weighing one charge at a time or ten?

Just recently purchased a Czechmate. What would you guys recommend as economical and cheap powder.
I know the VV stuff runs great. 9.3grns in my STI Open 38SC. However its just so pricy.
Shooters World Major Pistol is just over half the price of 3N38

The set screw bottoms on the shoulder of the barrel, not the threads which really helps. The comp has a healthy clearance from both slide and frame.

Yes, the competition frame came from the factory with that three hole pattern, here's a link to a new comp: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1291700
And a new barrel: https://eaacorp.com/store/shop-full-width/parts/barrels/6-match-grade-barrel-38sup-302334/
The thread is M15x0.75

Great news Eli!

Knives Out, Molly's Game, and Ford v Ferrari are all fantastic newish movies

This is the edge of the slide stop which locks into a corresponding notch on the slide to hold the slide open, due to manufacturing tolerance stacking some slides are more likely to release than others when a mag is slammed home.
If you want that feature, gently file the corner of the slide stop, but remember: there's a very fine line between a slide which closes when you insert a mag and a slide which won't stay locked open.

How about beating a lead slug down the barrel from the muzzle?

Awesome work Gary! I love that song and the spirit of your Open journey. Mine was similar: I fell in love with a rented tactical sport, couldn't justify buy a Czechmate, so I bought a TS and promptly started building custom CZ/Tanfoglio Open guns. Eight years and dozens of guns later I've made some great friends all over the world, learned a lot and had tons of fun!

It's probably getting stuck on the ejector, take it out and try it.

Pull a BoreSnake through from the muzzle, thank me later

I turn my body to the target and grab my belt, probably because that's what I did when I shot Olympic pistol.

I am a bit new to the term stroke. I take the term to mean the distance that the slide travels reward after firing. I can see how adding a buffer would reduce the stroke. By what other method is the stroke controlled? All i can think of is increasing the stroke by removing material from the lower part of the slide that contacts the frame.
Yes, shorten the stroke with buffers, lengthen it by removing metal.

Does a regular 2011 have more stroke than a regular TSO?
The stroke of a Tanfoglio is 1.850", standard CZ 75 is 1.875", Shadow 2 is 1.890", Czechmate/TS is 2.000", 2011 is 2.115", from what I've been told, Akai strokes his 2011s to 2.415". My custom TS Open is stroked to 2.440", then I run a buffer which gives back 0.140".
-
You're overthinking it: there are more 2011s because there are more people selling 2011s, there are more people selling 2011s because there's more margin to be made in selling 2011s.
Shooting a TSO will not stop you from becoming a GM, if you like it best, shoot it. -
It has a ton of adjustments so you can really get it dialed in to your gun; I tried a RaceMaster with my Tanfoglio and it had a tendency to stick.

This is what I use for my CZs with frame mounted optics:

If you can get your hands on some VV N105 powder, load 10.5 of it using a 115JHP. 10.5 of N105 will fill the case up to about 1/8" from spilling. Shot thousands of these.
I agree, N105 under a 115 is awesome in 38

This is what the sight picture looks like:

I'm looking for a complete safety lever. But now I wonder of the omega safety could work? Definitely not what is shown in my photos tough...
So like this, right:

Eli are you looking for the detent like the OP or the safeties themselves? If you want the safety I have them:

What powder and amount are you using with those 3 popple holes?
What is the wheight of the slide?The slide weighs 11.3oz with the racker, I shot my standard Open load through it (10.5gr SWMP under a 115gr CMJ).
I haven't had a chance to put it over a chrono, but I imagine you could make major with SWMP, although you might need to switch to a 124gr bullet.
Shooters World Major Pistol is a very robust powder, I haven't found it's limits yet.
