I wonder if the CZC pads would have fit. Those are the most common as far as I know.

I just saw that Toni Systems makes a gorgeous magwell in brass for the TSO/czechmate. I'm really impressed with their product designs. Everything else I see is so utilitarian in design.

Here's a good comp to try, from Toni Systems. As a bonus, they make optic mounts, grips and easily the nicest magwells for the TS.

Please reply simply stating proposed bylaws changes, PLEASE no commentary so the thread doesn't get locked! A lot of us want to know...

I scoop draw and I have it in front of my hip bone, in the path of my hand from where it hangs naturally at my side, to sweeping up to in front of my face. The pistol is canted to better match the angle of my hand when it reaches the gun. The idea is that there is as little extraneous movement as possible. It IS faster, for me. The added benefit is that it feels very natural. ** I wouldn't scoop draw if I didn't have a magwell that pushed my hand into the same position every time.

I'm thinking that BUL Armory is the place to get a well-built plain jane 2011 today. I don't have one, but I have their 45acp Gov't 1911. It's accurate, totally reliable, very well made, and optioned like a pistol that costs much much more.

Airsoft practice is a great idea if you can do it. I brought my teen sons into USPSA with a PCC, thinking it would be harder for them to do something dangerous with, compared to a pistol. The hardest part was range commands and getting aware of the 180. Airsoft practice in the backyard could have gotten them familiar enough to take the intimidation edge off. That intimidation can cause brain farts that create DQ situations. It certainly did for me when I was learning the game as an adult, so how much more difficult must it be for a 13 year old boy? In today's climate, you need to think about your neighbors seeing you setting up an array of humanoid shaped targets in your backyard, and running training drills with your kids shooting those targets with real looking guns at high speed. 1 in 1000 people know what USPSA is. Heck, I've never met a "gun guy" [outside of matches] that knew about USPSA. To the 99.9%, seeing that activity might cause more than a little concern!

Which class was it? I'm hoping it's not the one we're joking about.

I'm not taking that class! I imagine trying to tell my wife I want to spend $200 to spend the weekend with X trainer learning to move better, then my wife looks up that person's instagram...

We tend to think of the need to balance speed and accuracy, but what makes a fast stage time is mostly your plan and how you move when your front sight or dot is not over a target. You could have the "balance" 100% dailed as far as seeing what you need to see to get the right points, but if you still don't know how to haul ass around the COF you'll never get anywhere. If I could take a class primarily focused on movement, I'd see way more gains than if I took a class that focused on trigger control, for instance.

The thread is named CZ TS Mag Spring issue, from 2018. It's got pics and all the info you are looking for. Page 54 of 208 in the CZ section. I started that thread and just changed the springs under discussion this past summer, zero issue for years with the fix. I probably could have gone a couple more seasons, but they were getting so short I felt like I ws pushing my luck.

You just need to bend the leg of the spring that attaches to the follower. Do it once and they'll run flawless forever. There's a thread about it. I had the same problem, but this was years ago.

What is the weight difference? I'd think you'd want to match the balance more than the actual weight, if you're trying to get them to behave the same.

There is no way I'd ever accept a DQ for where my ricochet went. If the shooter is missing low and hitting that stage prop that shouldn't be there, your going to DQ him for the bullet ricocheting high? If the stage designer gives a shooter a legal view of a target, he should expect that somebody is going shoot from that position. If it's dumb to shoot from that spot, its likely going to be a less-experienced shooter who uses that spot. The failure is on stage design, not the shooter.

You've clearly had some real world experience, I'm always fascinated by these kind of first hand stories.

Let's hear them Rowdy, we don't care about the distinctions.

Keep em coming, this is fun stuff!

I wonder if that slight difference in operation makes that big of a difference in the recoil impulse. Especially when the whole world of 1/2 x 28 comps are out there to be tried. I don't want to be the one to try them all though! Why don't one of you guys buy them all, do empirical testing and report back, lol? The ideal scenario is that I buy an old style waffle checkering 9mm TS that has sat in someone's safe for years for like $900, buy the CZC barrel, comp, and dot mount, and I've got an open rig for like $1400 that feels identical in hand to my Limited pistol. I'd sell me PCC I never shoot to fund that!

Excellent customer service as usual from CZC. They replied within the hour: Me: "Hi, Shooters on the Enos forum, including myself, are very keen to know ifthe threaded 9mm TS barrel can be used with major PF ammo. You know, budgetczechmate and all... Please reply!" CZC: "The barrel is fine. Like all things, major accelerates wear and slide stops." There you have it. They are GTG for major, with the understanding that Open major guns like to break stuff, as per usual.

I just emailed CZC with the question, will report back...

Why can't we get an answer on this? It seems like if the barrel handles major as well as the czechmate barrel, than any old 9mm TS could be made into an open pistol with the right screw on comp. You'd think CZC would weigh in on this, at least by saying "Some customers are using it with major PF ammo with success, but we make no guarantees".

I recommend taking a class. Figuring it out on your own can make you improve at a Glacial pace. There are a lot of things that aren't necessarily intuitive about our game, and things that are going to be hard to figure out just by watching better shooters. You can waste a lot of time and ammo doing things wrong, and it can be discouraging too. At a minimum, get some books.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't care at all though. One match I regularly shoot, I know that I'll get random prizes and maybe cash back for finishing that is worth well over what I paid in the entry fee. I think A3 is the same way. People love driving home with a new red dot or DAA backpack. When and where is open registration for 2022 Nats announced? With it in Colorado, I'm going to do all I can to be there for my first Nationals.

It's a shame that there are folks worried about the possibility of something happening that has truly zero chance of happening, but I understand the concern. I'd feel that way if I was going to attend a major match in California, I'd have lots of questions. Fortunately, Colorado is nothing like California. Local shooters fly in and out of Colorado all the time for major matches. Hopefully the new County Sheriff will write a similar letter for USPSA.

The link has IDPA addressing the exact concerns at hand, and includes a letter from the Mesa County Sheriff. If you read it, it should end your concerns.
