  1. What is the test method for determining if it works?
  2. Before I did anything to the T3 disco, I put it on and neither SA nor DA would fall. Then I did minimal removal, barely removed the sharpie mark, still neither SA nor DA would fall. I then did a bit more... so on. I did about 5 rounds of that, and still neither SA nor DA would fall. At that point, I realized the T3 disco is probably already ruined, or, maybe I have not removed enough material? I guess the key piece missing is, what behaviors characterize not enough material removed, and what would indicate too much have been removed? I tried PM'ing you, but if you're still having this problem, do the following - remove some material from the wing of the disco, as it is not allowing the trigger bar to slip. I'm going to attempt to fit a T3 with a Titan hammer. Before I do any fitting, what should I see happening with the oversize T3 installed?The double action should function normally? If not, fit the wing as shown above? If DA won't break, hit the wing. Very carefully, lol. Keep hitting the inner disco area if no reset. Thanks for the help. DA wouldn't drop on my initial install. I carefully broke the edge on wing with a small file. Third test fit it was good to go. DA dropped and SA reset. I did not have to touch the inner area at all. Next step is to test fire.

  4. I just got my red grips from Henning yesterday.
  5. I don't see the problem with allowing PCC's. Competition is important to us all, but at the end of the day this sport is about having fun. Personally I'm excited about being able to just if a PCC purchase. The "P" in USPSA is for practical. We all seem to forget that and think of this a a pistol game. USPSA missed the boat on 3gun big time and this could be help get a foot back in that door.

    Sig MPX

    The MPX may be expensive, but it does offer ergonomic controls and modularity. I'll take those features for the same entry price as a Pakistani built HK pistol. I have always wanted an MP5 style gun, but I can justify the cost for what you get other than cool looks and nostalgia.
  7. Has anyone claiming this demo is a DQ for a 180 break actually shot any matches that have required using sling with an unloaded rifle or shotgun?
  8. I've been following this for entertainment purposes only. I don't see any rule violations. -fits in box -makes weight -correct length dust cover -no slots or holes milled through the slide

    Glock Recoil

    I switched from a Glock to CZ this year for USPSA production. I'm still shooting the Glock for 3gun. Both guns have recoil, there's no way around that. I feel more of the recoil with the CZ, but it tracks better and feels faster. It took some time to get comfortable with the different recoil impulse and timing. With the Glock I notice less of the recoil and maybe a little more muzzle rise/flip. The polymer frame has a lot of flex and absorbs a lot of the felt recoil. For me the main difference between the two is the CZ is easier to shoot long or tight shots with.
  11. This was my second ProAm. I shot the pro match this year and had a great time. The weather was perfect this year! I want to thank all of the volunteers and sponsors that help make these matches happen. Overall I thought the match was great. We ran pretty much on or ahead of schedule. The stages were each challenging in a different way. Timing out is no fun, but stage strategy is part of the game. I was disappointed with a few small things. I have a strong opinion on these two small items. Please do not take this as criticism of the whole match and all the hard work that went into it. 1. The barricade/support device ruling. A shooter shouldn't have to take a small hand stop off their rail for fear of being bumped to open if they touch a barricade . Just ban the Silo. (I removed my handstop to be safe, I don't use it for support, but there were some great awkward positions and weird shit happens on the clock) 2. Start position in Pro #4 ( Sling It) was a joke. Sling around neck, magazine in hand ready to load. This irritated me because it made the sling requirement a technicality instead of testing a shooters sling/rifle manipulation skill on the clock. Specifying hands relaxed at sides rifle slung would have been perfect. Rant complete. I can't wait to shoot this match again next year!
  12. I put 10-8 Performance sights on my G43. Plain rear and tritium front. They're low profile but have a nice sight picture. The Trijicon HD and Sevigny seemed too tall from pictures I saw. I also prefer a plain no-tritium rear so that made the 10-8 an easy choice. G19 with Warren-Sevigny Sights on top for reference.
  13. Has anyone tried fitting a Warren or Heinie rear sight to an SP01 Shadow? I'm not wild about the shallow notch on the CZC sights.
  14. Here's a brief range report for my new G43. I haven't put many rounds through it. About 150 rounds over two days. So won't make any reliability claims just yet. I would like to note that it's been 100% so far. I need to start logging an exact round count. Here are my main a few takeaways so far: - It's easier to shoot and not as snappy as I was anticipating. - Conceals great and is very comfortable in a Bladetech Klipt holster. - The trigger is a little heavy, but manageable. You need to respect it and focus on a good straight back press. I suspect a good polish job and more trigger time will help quite a bit. I need to look into the Ghost connector. Brief research shows mixed results. I installed a 10-8 Performance Sights: Tritium Front (0.125" wide) and plain rear (0.140" wide notch) - They are the same profile as the stock sights, and a nice crisp sight picture. I chose smaller rear notch to offset the short sight radius. Here's a target with 5 rounds fired at 5, 7, 15, and 25 yards. No time limits, just going for all alphas. I shanked a few at 25 yards. Got a little careless with he trigger control. This was a mag dump/bill drill at 7 yards. Had. Little trigger freeze on the last shot and pulled it straight down on the last shot. I was tracking the sights as quickly as I could. I did not have a timer with me the first day. Glock had a real winner with this gun. Sure it's a few years late but so far it seems like they got it right.
  15. Here are some pics of the new safety installed. Feels great the offset design helps with both reach and leverage. I can't wait to try this out!
  16. The thumb safety takes some getting used to. I'm a lefty, so I just installed the CZC oversize on the RH side of the gun. If you don't ride it high and pressure the front it can rock back against your thumb and flip on during recoil. I'm going to give it some more time before making any mods. I figured it's easier to make a software change before cutting the safety up.
  17. I just thought the G35 took too much effort to shoot well. There's a reason Vogel puts a huge weight on his gun. I shot a CZC TS side by side with my G35 and it made the decision really easy. As far as the grips, I like the VZ's as well. The area of the grip I was talking about is the front to back width. A TS with grip reduction fits feels like it was made for my hands. That being said, I'm happy with VZ grips and some grip tape over the cast checkering for now.
  18. The CZ Tac sport is an amazing pistol. I have two club matches on my new TS and my only regret is not buying one sooner. I'm a long time Glock shooter, and shot primarily production for the last two seasons with a G17 and G34. I went down the G35 path, and it was a huge waste of time and money. The only downside is the large grip, but that can be fixed if needed.
  19. This side is tapped for an oversize button. The idea is to make something easier to re-engage before dumping. I need to get the gun back over to Headworked so he can get some measurements and sketch up the other half.
  20. Great match today! Thanks to the Silver a Creek crew for putting together some awesome stages.
  21. From CZ-USA website http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-75-sp-01-accu-shadow-9mm-black-3x18-rd-mags-by-cz-custom/ SKU: 91730 "Short of a full custom pistol, it’d be difficult to find greater out-of-the-box accuracy than the Accu-Shadow can deliver."
  22. Here's the pic from Mod1's Facebook page.
  23. The blind tactical scan is annoying. I do see some merit in a scan of the targets to clear your head. The thing a lot of us do that secretly annoys me is the super fast unload / clear hammer down. I like to make are my gun is clear and drop the hammer with a sight picture on a target.
  24. Walking Dead drive me crazy. In no particular order: - The way Rick handles his revolver. - The Governor's ridiculous setup. Gun backwards in the holster. I don't think he did a cross draw, so it's just super awkward. - Maggie and Carl's tactical knee holsters. Makes sense to keep your gun a a good 4-5 inches out of your reach... - Too many more to list
