I just I measured my CM factory recoil spring and it is 10.3 lb. I used a recoil spring tester like this one.

Well Freedom Munitions is reported to have quality control issues. someone even posted on the Freedom Munitions website that they were having 30%-40-% stove pipe issues with their ammo.
My Czechmate has the same movement. setup as Open Gun it will flat out shoot, 25yards it will shoot less then 1" groups slow fire. I have not shot it setup as a limited gun. I do know the faster you push the bullets above 1280fps the better the gets & get really good above 1350fps.
Carry Optics should be open to any gun on the NROI Production Gun List, a wight limit of 33oz makes it a Polymer gun division only. Looks like Glock, S&W M&P & XD are the chosen winners.
Only thing is the use of your support hand thumb will cost you time(about 1/2 + second) every time you have to use it. It only takes 1/2 second here & there for you to move up or down in the match rankings. If you learn how to make your CZ auto forward & practice this technique, you can do it 100% of the time. It will give you an advantage over other competitors.
I now run a 11# recoil spring. 6.6gr autocomp with 124gr jhp, @1.160 OAL only got me 164.3PF, it took 7.1gr to get me to 171PF. I now use N350 @7.2gr 124gr. jhp @ 1.150 & get 170PF. moving to 115gr jhp@1.140 with N350@ 7.6gr 169PF
If you have CGW trigger pin, then no punch is needed, it just pushes out. spare parts, TRS , slide stop, FO rod, bic lighter. If you dry fire a lot use a #83 O-ring when you dry fire.

Mine is the TS 40 with a 40 slide. 9mm barrel drops right in. Barrel fits tight and doesnt seem to need fitting.
Putting a 40 barrel in 9mm slide wont work AND the breech in a 9mm slide is too narrow from what I've read.
I can add the 9mm extractor to MY 40 TS slide but then might not be able to eject 40 rounds.
You missed the point. the breech face in the TS .40 is cut to large to reliable extract the 9mm case. it is hit or miss. if your slide was milled on the high side of specs, you will never get it right.
Its a breech issue! the cut in the slide for the breech are different sizes, that is why you can not use a 9mm slide with a 40 barrel. Some people that have tried this have had good results, others not so much. If your breech face is cut on the lose side of specs. you are not going to have good results.
Well they do not break all the time! It is the design weak point, so the frame does not crack. it is just a maintenance item(comes with 3) just like springs. I have over 10,000 rounds on my TS & have not changed the slide stop or my slide spring yet. You will like a TS
I have the old CZC large mag well, it did have some fit problems. I moved to the Czechmate mag well, I like it a lot more. It fits my hand better & pushes my hand higher for a better grip.
Look at Ben Stoeger Pro shop. Get the DAA belt, Boss hanger & ghost mag pouches.

Don't forget to get a starter punch($7.00) from CGW!!!!!!! don't make the mistake of trying this without a starter punch, a pin punch will not get this pin to moving! you will use a pin punch after you get the pin to move with the starter punch.
