I had nothing to do with the decision, it was made by folks with a lot of experience successfully running major matches, recent experience attending major matches, and inside knowledge of recent match issues and complaints to USPSA. Given challenges put forth by Murphy's law and Mother Nature this particular match worked out very well.
That is not to say that things could not have been done differently, perhaps in your part of the world the lions share of the work is done by volunteers on the other side of 55.
I wasn’t referencing your specific situation just replying to the other guy’s comment. I have a lot of personal frustrations with those who refuse to adapt to technology that truly makes life easier. If it was just technology for the sake of being digital i could see resistance but most technology makes things a lot better than without it. I’ve run into this multiple times also serving in our clubs board. It’s not such much the lack of understanding of how to use technology to their advantage but it’s their rock firm stance and hatred against it. I could live with someone saying “I just can’t figure it out” but I refuse to accept the statement “it’s not better or it makes things much worse”. That’s just a denial of fact.
I’m 35 and a MD and my Co MD is around 42 and we have someone around 60 who helps out but is a sharp guy for his age and then 2 other of our steady helpers are 25 and 30.

That is truly wrong. Nearly everybody has a smart phone and reading it isn’t an issue for anyone I know. The rules are searchable so finding something is faster than hard copy. It’s 2019 dude
I couldn’t agree more. People who can’t adapt to things that truly make life easier are holding us all back.

That’s not ironic. That’s just how many USPSA shooters roll. I know a few who’s reputation precedes them when it comes to this stuff. How nice it must make them feel when setup crew says something needs to be (insert name here) proofed or he will get it thrown out. Especially after a bad run.
We are bound by the rules and they are important no doubt. But when someone does that and screws over 45 other people it’s going to rub a lot of people the wrong way. I don’t mind them pointing it out I just wish they helped with setup and could have found the error sooner so it didn’t negatively impact so many other shooters.

I’ve had to throw out Tick Tock this month’s match and it was because there was not an X on the table. Despite in the WSB it is not stated where the X should have been so we could have put it anywhere. Setup help is extremely thin and I never made it around to double check on the classifiers this month.
A second classifier we shot this month also got thrown out. I forget the name but it had a target at 56 feet from the starting box and the target was instead 56 feet and 6 inches.
It killed me inside that we missed that. It’s totally on me as MD, I just can’t create more time and that’s what caused the oversight. With only 4 guys including myself setting up 5 large high round count stages and 2 classifiers is tough. It was a really frustrating month and the first time we have had to throw out classifiers. The one shooter who brought to my attention the missing X on table for Tick Tock, told me about it AFTER he zeroed the stage. How ironic!

I totally understand and I'd feel the same way. I'm sorry you've had to deal with it for so long!
I'd maybe try to keep in mind that the guy you talked to on the phone is probably the equivalent of the employee behind the gun counter- you cant expect high level expertise from a guy making 10 bucks an hour. I doubt they have their lead gunsmiths answering phones, and I bet that guy you talked to had been given a scripted response for calls from people saying "how can the TS trigger be so light, this cant be safe!".

Lol yea I do understand that. I did get bounced around thought to 1-2 people before I spoke to him. It definitely wasn’t their most knowledgeable guy but I did think it was someone that should have known a little more.
I’ll never be the same after that call! Hopefully now after finding a solution I can begin the healing process.

Why didn't you send it in for warranty? You clearly got an unsafe gun. The whole point of these guns is that they show up with a fantastic trigger that you dont need to endlessly chase parts for. You are missing out on what you paid for.

I agree... but when i called CZUSA and told them my trigger pull is 1/3 of pound they said "its normal this is competition gun" like i was some a_-hole who never shot a competition before and didnt know what he bought. I was completely discouraged at that point to send my gun and potentially have them send it back with nothing done and me not only be out the money for shipping but more important be without my brand new gun in the middle of my shooting season. I am capable to handle a pull that light without an AD but i know most wouldn't be. I shot it successfully that entire season and wasnt going to be without the gun i just waited months to get back in stock. After it was already a year passed and winter season i still had bad taste in my mouth about the rep at CZUSA telling me that it was normal. Having a trigger pull at 6 ounces is in no way shape or form normal for almost any gun, let alone a handgun.I installed the normal CZ75 series TRS which is not the same TRS style spring that typically comes on the TSO and that has now successfully got my pull weight up into the 1-1.5 pound range. More importantly i am able to take out all the pre travel that i added to the trigger out of safety concerns and have a much better trigger experience in that regard. I am going to experiment next with using the CGW reduced power TRS which i think will bring it down a little and right in the range i was looking for.
Every time i relay this story it gets me fired up that they said that to me. Am i crazy or would that have rubbed you guys the wrong way too for them to say its normal and disregard my concern. I admit they did say i could send it in but i lost all credibility that they even knew what they were talking about at that point.

Well, I dont think you can turn a TS into a DA/SA due to the trigger bar and lack of a disco.
Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk
You definitely can’t i don’t know what that guy is even talking about. Wrong gun.
last night I added the TRS from the other cz75 series and it did work to increase the pull weight by about 8-10 ounces which was great. I am going to take that out though and add the CGW reduced power TRS and I’m hoping it will only add about 5 ounces and I will be right where I need to be at 1lb total pull weight

This is helpful! Thank you

I had the same problem with my TSO... 650 grams and many accidentals. After talking to a real expert the solution:
change the trigger for the new aluminium one (then you have room for:) +
ad the trigger spring of the Shadow 2.
So next to the try of the TSO!!
Trigger will go to 1,5 lbs and be perfect.
I currently do have the aluminum trigger. 1.5 would be exactly what I need.
Can you post a picture of how you added a shadow 2 TRS considering they are two completely different springs? See image below, Top is TSO trigger spring and bottom is shadow 2 spring.

Sounds like they messed up the hammer/sear connection or something
Swapped different hammer and different sear no luck. I’m exhausted. Going to try the double sear spring mid next

Forgot to post this just so you know I’m not pulling your chain. I hear what your saying but do you hear what your saying lol. I understand most people don’t want to increase trigger pull weight in a competition gun but I have NEVER met anyone who wants a 1/3 of pound trigger pull weight. A picture is posted below before I gassed the tanfo sear spring which added another 6 lunches bringing me still to under 1lb.

Thanks for the reply! Did you notice any difference in the feel of the action operating? Heavier recoil?
I couldn’t tell you. I never really thought to compare. It’s insurance basically so you don’t get jams at a match. I didn’t run a full match with 1oz loads but I shot half a box on practice. I run 1 1/8 oz at 1200 FPS is my standard load for 3Gun. It ate those all day.

Mine ran 100% without it but I added it anyway and it let even 1 oz loads cycle fine. I just sold the whole gun tho. It’s worth it if you can’t get yours running as is

I have two RTS2s slide mounted, two DPPs slide mounted and one DPP frame mounted. The next two builds will also be slide mounted. One advantage of the RTS2 is the screw holes are closer together than on the other reflex sights. That allows you to mount the sight directly on the slide in the rear scallop cut. With the others, you have to use a custom adapter plate. That works, but puts the dot higher over the bore than direct mounting.
i just screwed a RTS2 into a DPP plate meaning that the holes for the RTS2 and DPP are the same...

Can they do custom anodized colors do you know?

Twice this week my TS has double fired with one trigger pull. I was speed practicing double taps, and it machine gunned out an extra round. Any ideas?
I have an extra sear unused if u looking for one

tried them all......CMore RTS2 6moa is the best of all worlds....way easier controls and acquisition of dot than the DPP 2.5moa , just as big a window, good reliability and construction
I agree, the Cmore RTS2 has the perfect size window and the 6moa is a dream to track and not too big for 25 yard shots. I dont know how anyone competes with dots under 3. I also have the DPP in 7.5moa triangle nad its just too awkward with triangle and the window being wider than taller is weird for me. Cmore RTS2 6moa for win -
Thanks. Angle 3 does look weird and like it forces you into a lower grip since it sits below the screws. I'll probably pick up one of the angle 2s to try out.
Yea it’s just OK, not great. All depends on your grip I guess. Let’s your hand get further up almost like putting partial palm pressure on the part rather than thumb pressure like with the angle 2 or angle 1. Not for me though. I really love Angle 2 a lot

What *thumb rest [generic]*/thumb rest is that? It looks much more comfortable than the OEM one.
It’s the CZ Angle 2 thumbrest. It doesn’t come on any pistols but is available as separate purchase. I love it. There is also an angle 3 which is ok, I have one if anyone is interested in trying a different angle.

That’s what I did. Especially worth it if u don’t plan to shoot open. You can add an optic mount for range fun too if u want
On 4/21/2019 at 7:50 PM, robert.a.brewer. said:I agree with Atlas. Buy what you want. It's America..
You can add Parrot bling parts to a TSO, including the same optic mount and CMore red dot scope. CZ-USA has the optic mount in several colors, including Blue, and Armorycraft has some of the other parts.

I sent mine off to czc and am very pleased with it. Makes weight easily. Way nicer looking gun than the q5 although I haven’t seen one in person yet to be fair. Can’t imagine it performs better though

That's the CZ race hammer, same one that they put on the parrot. I purchased this gun used, so not sure if the hammer required any fitting, but there are not any shiny spots, so I would say no. I installed the S2 wide safety (other side has thin one) and it dropped right in.
My other TSO is setup very similar, however with factory trigger and hammer. Shooting them back to back, I don't feel any difference in the trigger. I don't own a trigger gauge, so not a very scientific comparison.
Agreed, I’ve installed the conceal hammer and can confirm its drop in fit

Guess I ain’t shooting enough if I didn’t break one yet!

Are the two barrels the same?

Help is sporadic though except for us 3 core members. We have been hanging by a thread lately with help stretched so thin. I wish we had more retirees with the time on their hands to chip in. I live an hour away from club and have to drive the night before for setup and then back again early next morning for final touches, add in 2 more days during the same week having to travel to the club for a board meeting and another day a member meeting, I can’t see us lasting for too much longer without more official staff who can formally commit.
