What's the purpose of the BOLO, a shorter reset?

Here you go. My 4-part series that breaks it down step by step.
I think we’re up around 35,000 views now, which is a lot for a totally-unfollowed account like my own. I guess I did a halfway decent job.
Your videos were a huge help!
I took everything apart and polished where your videos suggested. Although, I didn't go far as you did to get a mirror polish on everything.
I'm putting in a Dawson FO sight, and Wolff 10# recoil and 13# hammer springs. I think I''ll stop there and try it out it again. If I feel like it's a keeper, then I'll go over the Patriot Defense and add some other goodies.
Right now I'm just trying to decide whether I like it better than my Shadow 2.
-
My Shadow 2 has the factory disco
-
I just picked up an X5 in a trade and would like to try it out with an optic.
Without doing any further milling, my only option is a Romeo1?

Yup. No significant difference with my T1 disco. In fact, it moves the DA/SA breaks a little bit to the rear. I took T5 disco out and reinstalled the T1 disco. I like the DA/SA break location and feel of the T1 disco better.
Any difference in reset length?
-
I don't really need the reach reduction, but I just ordered the T5 disco.
Has anyone here tried just the short reset disco without the rrk?
-
I'm about to place an order from CGW for some CZ stuff, but I've seen a mention of something of theirs that's recommended for Tanfos. A pin or spring...?
-
The more I shoot my S2, the more I like it. I think I'll take it apart this weekend and polish everything.
I think I'll also try the new CGW drop-in T5 disconnector. Not sure if the race hammer and sear kit would be a noticeable improvement.
-
Oh, well that's encouraging. I don't know why, but I got the impression they were more complicated.
-
Would polishing and installing a trigger (and possibly hammer, etc) be similar to the same job on a CZ Shadow?
More/less difficult?
-
My FFL finally got me one, should be here this afternoon
-
Would there be any difference between a new "Accu Shadow" versus sending a Shadow to CZ Custom to be fit with the bushing?
-
I haven't done much to mine;
Cajun 13# hammer spring
Cajun Ext FP
12# Recoil Spring (although cases are burping out about 2', I'll try an 11# next)
Lok grips
Cajun 10x Bushing
I shot 12 groups from a rest yesterday, then installed the Cajun 10x bushing and shot 12 more groups today. No difference in group size at all.
I'm pretty happy with it as is, but when I have some extra time I'll take it apart and polish everything.

The confusion here is not uncommon from what i have seen. Some of the part names can be misleading. They call them "short reset discos" because they only work with CZs that already have short resets. For contrast if you installed a short reset disco in a stock CZ with the FPB intact, the pistol would not reset in SA.
What would already having a short reset mean?
Basically I'm just trying to understand the difference between my "standard" Shadow custom and the 91030 with the short reset.
-
Not sure, but the reset on my 91030 is much shorter than my other Shadow custom...
-
I have a 91030 Shadow that came from CZ Custom with the pre-B short reset disconnector. I have another SP01 Shadow that came from the Custom Shop, but with the standard disco.
I'd like to set them up similarly, but I wanted to hear from someone who's tried the CGW disconnectors and how they feel compared to the CZC setup...

Why? ^^^
I think it's the best feeling, and at the lowest price

I have a Stock II I've listed in the classifieds, NIB, taking offers. Sticking with my Limited Pros for the season.
Thanks, I think I found a used one

Is there an ideal solution for CO mag set-up, or is still hit or miss?

Out of a Shadow 2. 147gr plated RMR rnfp bullet. Mixed range brass. Win spp. 1.100" oal. 3.30gr Sport Pistol. This gives me a very very consistent 131pf and consistent groups.
No bad smell or weird residue after shooting. Gun doesn't get branding iron hot after a lot of shooting. No goofiness at the press.
Only negative is the 8# jugs are big so they took up more space in my powder storage area.
How's the accuracy compared to 124/125 bullets?
-
I have a Zev, Vanek, Johnny Glock and DK...and I've tried others
And the DK is the one I would purchase again

When I try a powder and different bullets for USPSA (PF 125+), I load each bullet to near max of
The Plunk Test and load 5 of each powder weight, trying to get close to PF 128 - 134.
Then I fire the five rounds, thru the chrono, into a target at 20 yards - measure velocity, feeding,
and accuracy. Eliminate rounds that don't feed properly or are not in my PF range.
Narrow down the powder charge to that 128 - 134 PF range, and test ten rounds as above.
Later, I'll play with the OAL - see if a slightly shorter OAL might be more accurate.
I would NEVER subject myself to the rigors of testing 5-6 different bullets at the same time.
Yeah, I bit off more than I could chew starting with six bullets.
I made sure I had a working oal with each first, that they would all pass the plunk test in my Shadow barrels. Then I ran a few rounds at a time through a chrono to get approx the same velocity from each bullet. These were 124/125gr bullets at ~1050fps., or 130 pf.
I loaded enough to shoot three, ten round groups with each bullet. That gave me two bullets that shot the best groups. Both were the conical bullets FWIW.
One of the two, the oal was as short as I'd want to go. The other I could load a little shorter. And I could play with the powder charge a little.
I guess that would be the next step? Load some at say, 1050 and 1080 and shoot groups again?
Does three groups each sound like enough for each load?
-
And trying different combinations of powder, bullet, oal, etc
How many and what size groups are you shooting to determine which load is better?
I'm loading 9mm minor, and I've settled on a powder I like. But now I have five or six bullets I'd like to try out. Just wondering how extensively I need to shoot each to get a sense of which is more accurate in a particular gun.

I do have some hearing loss, but the audiologist I saw didn't think insurance would cover these. Any tips on what to ask an audiologist to try and get it covered?
