True, about the comp, but the person who has the mag capacity AND is shooting Major will have the advantage. Is the unsupported 9mm chamber of a Glock able to handle 9mm Major safely?
Buy a threaded LW barrel and a comp for your glock and run 9 major($200 or less). Get 170mm mag and go play in open. It wont cost that much more then setting up something for PO.
From the guys I see shoot open, if you gun doesn't jam you're in pretty good shape to win.
I understand that logic, but Glocks don't fit everyone.

One of the main points of this is reloading cost or the ability to run factory ammo.
Everyone is focused so much on the equipment race.
Every division is an equipment race. It promotes handgun evolution, which is a good thing for the sport.
Shooting a dot is fun. I've only done it once, but it was a blast. I will probably never have the disposable income to shoot in Open and be competitive (having a backup, maintenance, reloading, mag tuning, new rig etc.). But I would enjoy shooting a dot in a division where I could be competitive with what I could afford. Especially if I could have an interchangeable slide set for one frame and use the same rig. Then you could do the Nationals similar to the Lim/Open Nats last year with Prod/Prod Opt.
We have 6 divisions, and only one allows the use of an optic sight. That needs to change.
Maybe if we change the name to Practical Optics....or Tactical Optics...either way, it's going down. The old dogs just need to accept the fact that there will always be new tricks. Y'all may not dig it, but I guarantee it would pull more shooters than the 3 divisions with the lowest participation.

Im talking about increasing mechanical accuracy. Not how well of a shooter I may or may not be.
the trigger doesn't increase or decrease the mechanical accuracy.....your thread title is conflicted, probably why you got the "practice" responses.

Nope. For some reason I rust things when I touch them. The sp01's were the worst....

No joke...living in the humid south doesn't help either. I keep steel wool in my range bag and use it quite often. Been thinking of making a switch to the nickels

Not that I like the idea but a minimum trigger pull weight might do more to equalize the field that a max MSRP would.
I think that would be the best idea, especially if the division allows Single Stack (Like a 4# first pull minimum) and only allowing SA with SS guns. I brought this idea up a few months ago, and I know it has been raised a few more times previous.
I believe it would be a big step forward for USPSA. I also think all of the opposing arguments are VERY weak.
I know it might not be the best decision and I might ruin a perfectly good Production pistol, but I think I will be having a slide milled in the near future to start a beta run for the proposed division. I encourage all who are heavily in favor for this idea to join me. We could keep track of matches shot, equipment used, etc.
Someone said earlier "If you build it..." I say we take on the challenge.

Boston looks to be the team to beat in the east
I'm hoping for a Bruins vs Blackhawks rematch....last year's playoffs was the best in years

I like this idea too, keep 'em coming!An easier way to remove the staked pins from the hammer is to put it on a piece of wood and drive the pins into the wood. The hammer is better supported doing it this way, and you are also driving down instead of sideways like in the vice, leading to less chance of the punch drifting and scoring the side of the hammer.
I found a piece of 4" wide hard wood flooring works best. 6-8" piece flipped upside down, hammer fits perfectly in the grooves.

Just shot mine for the first time yesterday. Absolutely amazing. The included paper says the DA/SA was 8/3.8. i tested it at about 7.8/3.2
If this is your first CZ, I'd say save up the money and get it. You won't be disappointed. If you're a seasoned cz shadow vet, it may not blow your mind for the price you pay.
i'm not a cz shadow vet so this thing is bad ass!
Shot mine for the first time yesterday...and wowzers! Mine is 6#/ 2lb 2 oz per request. Trigger is unbelievably smooth, and the reset is so short. Best analogy: Old cell phone buttons vs. touch screen...the pre travel is so minimal it is imperceptible.

I'll be on Chrono on Saturday everyone say hi!!

Yes, some of us follow the legal profession, but I've known BAD lawyers and GOOD lawyers. Not unlike my experience in knowing BAD cops vs. GOOD cops. There are both kinds out there, believe me. But, yes, MOST people WILL do the damn'dest things for money . . .

I would send Stuart a PM. I seriously doubt he would be unwilling to help diagnose and address the problem.
I'm assuming Stuart is CZ customer service rep? Does he have an ID here? I may call him tomorrow... thanks for the tip
eerw....cz gunsmith & guru

Are you using hand loads? Have you tried different brands of ammo?
Slide to frame fit would have to be extremely nasty to make accuracy that bad.
I haven't changed my handload since day one. Montana gold 147 on 3 grains of Clays - makes 128 PF. Very accurate when new... accuracy started to go out around 8k and is now unacceptable at 10k...
new jug of clays? is it temp sensitive? maybe your scale is off? just trying to help troubleshoot

A few questions before you continue to stay disappointed...purely because I have had nothing but great service from the guys and gals at CZC, especially Stuart.
1. Have you checked to see if your rear sight set screw has loosened?
I have had trouble with this until I flooded my rear sight with red Loctite. It would wobble loose after several thousand rounds and would scoot over up to 1/4". If that sight is moving in the dovetail, it would definitely affect YOUR accuracy.
2. Was there a change in ammo when you started noticing this change in accuracy? That could be another cause.
I have a very hard time believing any big name gun would lose accuracy, and that severely within only 10k rounds....and definitely not a Shadow. Maybe after 50-60k.

As Max's forward falling popper is set up in that picture, the bullets would be coming from the left side of the pic. The popper plate is already leaning forward against the point of the hook. The bullet strikes the popper plate back momentarily, just long enough for the hook to drop low enough that the yellow part slips through the slot in the popper plate. The plate is no longer restrained by the hook and it continues on its forward or downard falling path unabated.
We use a similar version at our club. a matt is correct. Unleveled ground is the main nemesis. We use broken pieces of target stand sticks to shim up the base before staking. Works well.

Oh please! Don't get me started on the "this sucks" stuff. I don't have that much time today.

round count won't affect your classifier scores, but will force you to reload once more on long field courses

Quite the contrary. How would limiting to slide mount only do anything but aide in better development for these types of optics
