@B_RAD when do you ever?
Dude just buys gun after gun, I swear...
My PPQ slide shipped out to the machinist this afternoon. If he comes through, I may have a place which can do some VERY practical FCS’s. The kind which also strip enough weight that adding the weight of the dot won’t slow the slide down. We’ll see!
I had a second slide milled with a Burris and it weighs the same as my production slide.

Highly recommend visiting a hearing aide center to get fit for custom plugs. I've had mine for over almost 2 years. Best $150 I've spent in this sport.

CZC says their 7.5mm front sight. Not sure if that's measured the same way as CZ USA...
-
I like 9mm single stack for matches to keep stage planning the same as production guys. You can always compare to production shooters in the scores if there's a lack of SS guys. That said, it's an interesting trade off to shoot major if you have to dial back the speed to make sure you're getting good hits and no misses on steel.

ATLDave - thanks for putting some thought into your suggestion. I've struggled putting into words how Hit Factor scoring being a J-curve of points separation leads to questionable results. It's disconcerting to see the top finishers at bigger matches have such a large points and % gap.
Percentages tell you “how many of the local population/whole” and are an excellent way to present ratios.
Percentiles tell you where the local population falls in the distribution of the wider area population. Use percentiles when you want to analyze based on the distribution. This is seems more in line with a classification system.

I got a Traeger last summer. I like it a lot. I think of it more like an outdoor oven (has to be plugged in). Just cooked frozen pizza on it tonight. Meats taste better. Pellets are maybe a little more expensive than propane. I get mine up to 430F no prob, sear meats nearer the edges or the grill grate where the air moves (or use a well heated cast iron skillet). Nothing like a 700F sear though...

I assumed the Federal NT was "NATO" (mil spec with crimped primers). I can seat CCI's reliably in them but you can feel it's a squeeze.

I've seen some 2011's with a wider safety that extends further back (ie, two I've bookmarked below). Thumb would ride higher, sooner since the ledge starts further back.
Anyone else tried that?

Just saw they are filling for Ch 11 Bankruptcy...might explain some of the comments above.
Just saw TalkingMonkey had the link a couple days ago. Hope they can liquidate enough to keep their projectile business going.

Assuming you mean CZC has their SSC 9mm in stock. Looking at it, the main differences are ambi safeties, upgraded grips and magwell. Maybe different front sight but still fiber. Definitely unique from the PM-9 with the bigger "Dan Wesson" on the left side. I was very tempted to get one in 40 when they were in stock...

I've got a wide left hand safety for sale on the classifieds...in case anyone is interested in balancing right-left sides. Cheaper than ordering from CZ UB.

For those interested, slide weight for the TSO 40SW is 14.75oz

TSO questions
in CZ
4 hours ago, NoKimberDave said:Whoa. That looks higher than the CZC extended safety. Do you feel that it is higher??
I might need this. I like the CZC, but it needs to be at least 1/8" higher, imo.
I haven't felt the CZC version, but scrolling between the pictures above in this thread the Sebo looks quite a bit higher.
Not quite 1911-ish like below (Wilson high ride is what I was hoping for), but the Sebo still has an up angle to it.

For what it's worth, here's some pics of Sebo's "Large Extended Safety". A bit more expensive, but only took 3 weeks to ship from CZ.

By the way, you can get the Shadow 2 safety from them too at a little premium if you're desperate: https://seboweapons.com/en/cz-spare-parts/127-cz-wide-safety-right-hand.html

Sounds easy enough!

Get in line for one of the John Hancock's...

The pawl mechanism is actuated by the bolt on the frame. Is the plastic part that holds the pawl finger straight and smooth where it engages the bolt? Is the spring that holds that plastic part to the ram in the correct position? Those are the first two things I would guess are the issue...
-
Mainspring: 13#
Recoil: CGW 15# flat spring (with the CGW guide rod)
Using competition hammer and extended firing pin too. Pops CCI primers reliably.

Apologies. I overlooked your comments were regarding LE training specific to Glock slide release. I had the mindset that the original posting was a question of which method was faster in a competitive environment. I do think there's some merit to sharing competitive advantages into LE training, but undoubtedly there's a lot of "it depends" on how that's adopted.

"What you've been taught or told is pretty inaccurate" Well, I guess you're entitled to your opinion. No offense, but is your level of experience and expertise on par with leading LE trainers?
LMAO...this guy doesn't know he's talking to a GM...ah, newbies.

It's unique to the 9mm slide. Plastic part that lines the channel where the guide rod is housed.
Looks like there's not quite enough clearance from the angle the guide rod head sits on the barrel link. Not sure how to fix that...
I'm guessing it would run just fine without that plastic part.

+1 for the PosiTech grips...I can finally transition between Limited and SS without much retraining my grip

@@@Carmoney might know

Tim Herron is a lefty single stack GM. He seems to have figured it out. Not sure if he posts on Enos or what his username is/was.
CZ tso Trigger delay

TS trigger not SP01
Turn the pre+travel screw on the trigger top (have to remove the slide to access) half a turn counter clockwise.
