I can tell you from several years of experience in this forum and with CZ, you are the single only person I have ever heard say a bad thing about CZ Custom. Just sayin…for what it is worth. My guess it that when you find the problem you might consider pulling this post as it may be embarrassing to you in the future.

Pretty much every automatic pistol has significant play when the slide is locked back.

Parrots don’t come with the extra barrel and are usually $100-200 more expensive but are the exact same pistol mechanically. I have a parrot because thats what was available when I got mine locally. If I had my choice of the two I would get a czechmate that included the extra $200+ barrel so I could throat it for 9mm major which have an OAL longer than regular 9mm. 9 major will not chamber in a 9mm czechmate barrel you need to have that done or buy a throat reamer and do it yourself.

Look for a video how to fit a CZ Czechmate barrel. I know there is a video out there somewhere when I fitted mine. I bet they are fitted very similarly.

I understand pretravel overtravel takeup etc….but as an American, I was not brought up using the metric standard of measurement….so it lost me. It is just a personal thing if I have to take out a calculator to figure out a judgment of measurement it really has to be really worth the effort since my daily life as an engineer is solely calculated in Inches or thousandths of inches I can’t quickly judge 2.5mm or 3.25mm. But know quickly that .250 is 1/4 inch and .500 is 1/2 inch etc…

Lost me at “millimeters” of play.

That response made me spit out my beer...

The CZ czeckmates come with a slide lock pin minus the slide lock lever...it is basically the same as just cutting off the lever. When using them it eliminates the ability to lock back on empty and you have rack the slide back if you happen to run dry and require a mag change (which any comp shooter should strive not to have happen). Also, pulling the slide back insted of using the slide lock is an optimal way of dropping the slide anyway...should you need to. In short, it is my opinion that, if this has happened many many times in matches cut the pin off from the lever run the gun that way....or find a compatible pin (probably a czechmate pin would work...but might be a little long).

What about it “screams range bag” I have a tool bag that looks strikingly similar...and my computer bag from work looks more like a range bag than the DAA backpack. Someone would have to be hanging hang out with some very high end hoodlums for them think they would know that the DAA backpack is a range bag and think it “screams range bag”. Lol...BTW I fly with mine all the time for work and nobody looks at me weird and TSA never says a word...nor do I get scrutinized like I am screaming “I have a range bag at the airport”. So I would use that as a solid test that this DAA backpack is a solid range bag that does not look like a range bag....but we can always let the OP decide what he thinks of my suggestion I suppose.

I imagine this will be a non-mandatory participation outdoor style match.....people in the high-risk, high-concern, and high-oppressive categories should consider their own wellbeing when choosing to register for any match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think these bags by Double Alpha Academy are AWESOME. They are purpose build to be range backpacks and they even have a cart for them if you want one. I have the large one and the medium one. I prefer the large one because it holds more and things fit better in it. They deem to be a little pricey but they are EXTREMELY well made. DAA also has a bunch of other types and styles to chose from and all of top quality and durability. https://www.doublealpha.biz/us/ced-daa-rangepack-ipsc-backpack Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
