I would like to get a fiber front sight for my TS. CGW states that the front sight that they carry won't work with the stock rear sight and I would prefer to keep the rear sight. Anyone retain the rear sight and replace the front with a fiber? If so, what did you purchase?

On Stoeger advice, I took a class from him and he was all over me about how freakin slow I was to shoot after transitioning. I told him I was shooting as fast as I had the shot aligned. He called horse pucky and had me transition while he pulled the trigger on MY gun. Of course the transitions were insanely fast and at the end I assumed I had missed every target because I "hadn't seen my sights". We looked at the targets and they were all As or close Cs. I am still pretty slow on transitions, but I now know that isn't my gun speed, but rather my eyes and processing speed. Still tons to work on there, but I see it in my match videos now and it drives me insane.
On a side note, it is insane how fast that man can pull off an accurate shot when he isn't even holding the gun. I can't imagine working the trigger on a gun that I am not holding. Crazy skill that man has.

Broke my SP01
in CZ
1 hour ago, Diesel1 said:Most likely your cz is not broken. You can get similar symptons even unburn powder if it get under sear cage and affect disconnector. Take slide of and flush the frame whit hot water. If this doesnt help remowe sear cage by removing safety lever. Like i said, even small amount dirt wrong place can affect trigger.
Would make sense since I got quite a bit of dirt in the hammer. My first reaction was to rack the slide to try and clear it and I may have drive some dirt that I can't see easily into the wrong places. I have an ultrasonic cleaner for pistol cleaning. I'll clean the frame inverted and report back.
Honestly, I was surprised that something internal could have broken. When I looked at it I was surprised my holster wasn't broken and figure maybe my rear sight got knocked out of whack, but did not think internal damage would be possible.

Broke my SP01
in CZ
My forearm has a pretty good case of road rash. I learned something. As an RO after you do your normal walkthrough and have your stage plan down; you then need to walk the stage as an RO and look for issues. This stage had me chasing a shooter from the left side of the bay to the right side of the bay directly on his 180 as he ran around a wall. Didn't see that until I went around the wall behind him and thought "oh, crap! I am on his 180 here". The next thought was "why am I on the ground?". The stage designer used an L bracket to support the wall and the lower part of the bracket was in the pathway I was trying to follow to stay off the shooters 180. They should have used one of the foundation stakes that we have so there was nothing protruding from the wall creating a trip hazard in the stage. I let the MD know about the issue and warned the next squad about the trip hazard.
Thanks for the pics and I hope to get this solved quickly so I can get it back into action.

Broke my SP01
in CZ
UPDATE: I put the frame upside down in my ultrasonic cleaner and two minutes later I had double action back. Thanks to everyone for the support. Really appreciate it and I am very happy that I didn't even have to buy any parts.
I took a big fall this last Sunday while RO'ing another shooter. My SP01 must have hit the ground on the rear sight since it and the hammer was caked in sandy mud. The pistol will only fire in single action now. My double action pull has no weight on the trigger at all. Need to crack it open to figure out what is wrong. I am not great with mechanical stuff, but I am hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction and maybe even make my life totally easy with a pic of what I might be looking for. I hope to dig into the problem tonight so if the answer isn't obvious I will follow up with some pics tonight if that might help someone spot my issue. I have a spare unmodified SP01 in my safe so I can always steal a part if needed.

Dry fire double action in front of a white wall and do nothing but watch that front site. With a firm enough grip and good trigger pull you can execute a double action pull in a single stage at the same level of accuracy as your single action shots. Two stage on the double action is too slow for competition.

I have to admit that I have never seen that in my 6 years of shooting IPSC, and here in Canada everyone uses 10 round mags. I will try to find a spot to use it though!
I am in California and have all 10 round mags. I simply start each stage with a mag with a single round in my pocket. On load and make ready I insert that mag (the Barney mag) into the pistol and cycle the slide. Eject the now empty mag and insert a full 10 rounder from the back of my belt.
As an FYI, a true Barney mag only has one round since it is a reference to Barney Fife from the Andy Griffith show. He was only allowed to carry one bullet on him since he was such a nut case.

I think I know the name of the club you attended, shot the same match and I was not a member of your squad, but I would say the people who are doing this are cheaters and in need of correction.
The problem isn't the shooter; it's the RO. People are always going to try and figure out how to game a stage. It is the ROs responsibility to apply the USPSA rulebook fairly to all shooters to ensure equity in the competition.
Shooters should have incurred a procedural per each extra shot fired in the string (9.4.5.1).
Shooters also should have been assessed a procedural for each target insufficiently engaged in the earlier strings and then engaged in the later string per the stacked shot rule (9.4.5.3, Stacked shots (i.e. obviously shooting more than the required rounds on a target(s) while shooting other target(s) with fewer shots than specified in any string), will incur one procedural penalty per target insufficiently engaged in any string. This penalty will not be applied if the written stage briefing specifi-cally authorizes stacked shots.)
Your RO should go back and do the class over again (assuming he is a certified RO in the first place).

I still call the guys that shoot pcc my friends but we like to give each other a hard time. When they build stages they like to put in long head shots to make it hard for the pistol shooters. it's still a game and if you can't screw you buddy than why play.
You should get more mature people to design stages. This type of attitude will ruin your club.
Now, if you want to setup something to screw with right handed shooters and advantage a lefty; I am all for that.

I would probably start by shooting a match. Not to be a smart ass, but don't worry about meet and greets and whether you should shoot your shadow 2 or Brazos guns. Pick which one you like better and dive straight in. You'll meet the guys as you squad with them over a couple matches. Shooting matches and getting stages on video will help show your deficiencies for training. If you've already been practicing regularly, you may still have to work on the mental part of the game
This. Find a match in your area this month... heck, this weekend if you can and go shoot it. You know enough to get started. Don't over think it or you will be a massive ball of nerves your first match. Just go and enjoy yourself while focusing on safety.

CZcustoms has what your looking for. sku#30086 $38 a piece.
That would do. Emailed them as I am hoping they do colors other than black on request. Thanks for pointing me to them. I was on their site earlier today and did not see these.

Anyone ever end up DQed for catching a round via the imfamous flip catch..
Not sure what rule any reputable RO could quote to justify a DQ. So long as they re-rack the slide to show the RO clear they are fine.

I recently purchased a TacSport .40 to use for next year when I jump back into L10. I live in CA so the 10 round issue is very real. Some of you may know that the TacSport 10 round mags have about an inch or so plastic base plate that they use to limit the mag capacity. I would like to add aluminum base plates, but can't find anyone making them for the 10 round mags. Ideally, it would completely replace the plastic portion, but I can't have it expand the mag capacity. Another acceptable solution would be for it to attach to the plastic portion.
Anyone know someone that does this for this pistol?

I got a Comp-Tac International for mine, I share your affliction of wrong handedness.
The one listed as 75/85/P01/SP01 will take the Tac Sport, just have to adjust the white roller inside, removing the outer piece. Can also order direct from Comp-Tac via Amazon and get free shipping. Just call Comp-Tac if you need status updates, mine arrived in about 8 or 9 days but Amazon still showed pending a couple weeks after.

How smooth is the draw on that? Looks like it mignt be a bit notchy. Also, is the tension adjustable? Price is certainly right.

I am a lefty with a TS 40. I asked Red Hill Tactical (http://redhilltactical.com/products/doublelayerdrop) make me a lefty holster and they did.
Heck, I can see it in your profile picture. Recognize the red drop/offset from their site.

Yowsers! That is some nice Kydex. Pretty expensive solution, but many they have some very cool stuff.

Can anyone provide guidance on a good comp holster for a CZ Tacsport 40? I reached out to Double Alpha (what I usually buy) and they don't have one for this pistol. I am looking for a standard holster, not a race rig and to add to the challenge I am left handed. Was wanting their PDR PRO-II. Plan on using it for L10 here in California (the land of dead high cap divisions).

I can say this, I had a really weak grip and had some serious accuracy issues when I moved from shooting a 1911 to a CZ. The 1911 trigger hides a number of sins. I have a "COC S" on my desk at work and use it a couple of times a day and my accuracy and shooting quality overall has improved dramatically with a reasonable improvement in my grip strength.

I ordered a set of palm swell grips from LOK in blue. They weren't on the site. Just email him and he'll do exactly what you want. Great to work with.

Video your reload practice so you can see your trigger discipline. When I switched to a new pistol I got a warning from a kind RO at one match. Went home and for the next week worked on my reloads. Started very slow with all of the focus on "where is my finger". When I got back up to full speed I video'd my reloads for about 10 minutes and when I watched the video the finger was correct on every one of them. I have never had another warning on a reload since. Do the same thing with a timed jam clear drill since I see people clearing their pistol with their finger in the trigger all the time even when they are excellent with their reloads. Most people don't practice that and it can get you DQ'd as well.

The tensions and anxiety, if thats what you would call it, that I feel in a match are rarely present in practice. I need to bring this mind set to dry fire and live fire practice...but not really sure how. It happens from time to time and I can tell/feel the difference. But repeating it doesn't seem to be that easy for me.
Poke yourself with a fork every time you call a "D" in dry fire.
That might bring some focus and intensity to your practice.

This stuff is the best I have tried. And I have tried it all. I used to be pretty serious into rock climbing in my younger days and wish I knew about this stuff.
I find this product hilarious on Amazon. Apparently it is a pole dancers best friend. The related products section cracks me up.
