It's the decocker version.

I'm hoping someone here can help w/ my SP-01 tactical w/ CGW carry package installed (2 yrs ago). Headed out for a range session today and dryfired a few times prior to loading a mag. Then I tried to rack the slide and it wouldn't. I was able to move it enough to remove the slide from the frame but still can't pull the trigger or operate the hammer. I'm not seeing anything obvious. What shoud I be inspecting? Thank you in advance, Bruce

I have a 1K of SNS 135G I want to load for the X5. Do you have any load data on the bullet weight? If so....any thoughts on accuracy w/ same bullet weight? Thanks in advance,Bruce
-
I asked Country Attic if they could order some, and they found it listed in the Aliant catalogue, but their min. order is 10#'s. Unless they have other requests...I don't think this will happen since they'd never heard of it.
-
For anyone interested, Country Attic has N320 in stock (2lbs) as of Saturday afternoon. They have almost all Allaint powder too but no Sport Pistol. Have a great weekend. Bruce

Thanks Ken, I asked them to order some and they said they'd call me when it's in. I'll let you know if that happens.
-
Thanks Sarge, that's where I usually go but they're out of N320.

Where do folks in Cincinnati locally purchase your powders? Thanks in advance, Bruce
-
Yes, I noticed it just the other day. A fellow shooter also commented that it is hotter (higher pressure because of the alum. case?) than other brands but that's good if your training....it's closer to a carry round so recoils is more similar. I had no trouble running it thru 2 glock 19's and CZ clone and at $8/ box it's affordable.

I think I read somewhere that if the bullet is truly tumbling, your velocity may be too low for your barrel. Try upping the powder charge (using a Chrono) to see if that helps. Also be sure to have cardboard behind the target to support the paper or the holes will look like a tumbling bullet. The best luck I've had so far is w/ SNS 135g coated behind 3.8g of N320 at 1.135 in a CZ. Good luck.

You may try swapping barrels to see if it follows the gun. Only other difference is the recoil spring. I have a gen4 that does this. Had several people shoot it and tried several brands of ammo but still the same results (high left). Swapped barrels and it improved so I bought a KKM barrel but still not as good as my gen3's.

I'm running the 11# spring as well. I've installed all Cajun production legal parts including that spring. Nothing wrong w/ HP38 (W231 same powder), I only started w/ it because I'm new to reloading and folks recommended it as a good universal powder and it would be hard to double charge based on volume required. I only switched because I heard such good things about N320 and ran across it locally (no hazmat fee) so I gave it a try. I do like how N320 meters on my Dillon 550 sq. deal! Once you work up some loads, test for velocity vs. accuracy. I think you'll find that IDescribe was right on the money. You'll probably get the best accuracy ~137ish PF. You can go lighter, but I don't know that you'll really be able to tell a difference in felt recoil so why not be as accurate as possible. Good luck!

Mike, I just went thru this exercise w/ an SP-01. My barrel my be slower down here in Cincy vs. Cleveland (lol), but it required 4.0g of HP38 to get good groupings. I've since switched to 3.8g to VV N320 (just a tad hotter) because I feel it meters more accurately. Like IDescribe indicated, target a higher PF, CZ's like faster rounds to be accurate. My most accurate load has a 137PF at 1.13 OAL behind 135g SNS bullets.
-
Thanks everyone! This helps tremendously.
-
Thanks Taroman, 3.8g's got me to your numbers exactly out of a CZ, just wondering how much is too much! I ran 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9g. 3.9 felt/shot the best, not sure if I should try going hotter to see if accuracy improves or do you base the best load on min ES/StDev?
-
Vihtavuori doesn't list data for N320 and 135g coated lead that I can find. Anyone know what the max loads so I don't get into pressure trouble? OAL is 1.131. Thanks in advance for your help.

Not to hijack the thread, but I was looking here for primer recommendations since I just ordered a Dillion 550. I'm using the OP's setup in SP01 decocker w/ a CGW Pro Package. I could use suggestions on powder and bullets brands and sources if allowed. Currently shooting 115g and in my first match and had 3 lite strikes w/ factory Aguila ammo. At first I thought I short stroked the trigger, but afterwards remembered it was DA on second pull. Thanks in advance. Bruce

Biglou13...Yes, I have the 13# hammer spring that came w/ the Pro package. Maybe I'll try the 1200 (11.5#) to see if I get light strikes. bowenbuilt....what adjustments need to be done to the trigger bar?

Thanks for everyone's input on tuning a CZ. I bought an SP01 (w/ D'Cocker) after shooting a friends who had it worked on by CGW. I called CGW and they recommended the Pro-Package since I want to shoot Production. After reading and watching video's, I've successfully polished and installed all the parts. I don't have a trigger pull gauge, but I'm extremely pleased w/ the SA pull weight but wish I could get the DA just a little lower. I know going too low on DA can cause light primer strikes but what can I polish/replace to reduce the DA weight a little more? Thanks in advance, Bruce

Thanks everyone for the suggestions...I went w/ the Dawson FO's. Hope to put them on this weekend.

I bought a SP-01 Tactical for USPSA and would like to change out the stock sights. I've been using TruGlo Fiber Optic sights on my Glock and like that set-up but they don't make them for CZ's. Also not sure if I will like the blacked out comp rear. Does anyone offer Fiber Optic front and rears that will fit my gun? Thanks in advance, Bruce
-
Thanks 9X45 and Hbb I'll research those suggestions. Regards, Bruce

I need some direction. I have a gen 4 G17 that has poor accuracy. During a trading class, I had a nationally recognized pistol shooter confirm this using 4 different types of ammo. It shoots ~6" high left at 15 ft. I suspected the barrel, but a KKM barrel made no improvement. What else can I try. The locking block appears different from my gen2/3 so don't think I can switch those. Thanks in Advance, Bruce

Hello all! I ran across this sight and am enjoying all the useful information. I started using it for FN-S info, but after shooting a friends tricked our CZ SP-01 Tactical race gun, I bought one myself. There's so much good info, I'm going to attempt a serious CZ trigger job per all the helpful instructions. I'm a little concerned since most of the articles are for the "safety" model, but I'll mutter thru it somehow. Wish me luck! Regards,
