What 9mm barrel are you running & was it a drop in fit? How is the reliability?

Steel cz plate is gtg. Witness marks and some loctite also recommended.

Start at 10 yards and work back to 25. With the 25 yard zero I have not noticed any issues at closer distances. 25 yards seems to be about the farthest shot you’ll see in most matches, if you’re not zeroed at that distance I think it’s a mistake.

I’d add an extractor, extractor spring and pin, also maybe a hammer spring, firing pin, and spring.

Have one set of mags that bind up on me, particularly when the mag is near empty. The follower is hanging up in the magazine body. Could that be an issue?

Apparently the Norma brass I find tends to have the small flash hole, so I throw them away. The thicker decap pin I have will open up the flash hole and resize it but I don’t want to chance breaking or bending the decap pin, so I throw those head stamps away.

My lee decapper will go through them, but I still throw the Norma brass in the trash.

For 135 coated I have tested 3.6gr for about 130pf. With 147 coated about 3.2-3.3gr for 130-135pf

Fiocchi spp are very good, softer than cci but probably not as soft as federal. Work well in the press and run great, have no issues with them in over 30k.

They are definitely trash

You can get them out on a lee decapper, but you might bend or break it since the pin is going to enlarge the flash hole to get the primer out. Adds and extra step too. More work then it’s worth is my take, throw them in the scrap bucket or trash. You could use a smaller pin or file one down and probably make it work.

13lb hammer spring with factory firing pin and spring will light everything is my experience

The ts is definitely thicker since the mags are bigger. But you will be staring with the hammer back, so the reach to trigger is probably about the same. Have medium size hands and both fit my hands very well. You might want to go handle one before buying if size is a concern.

Run an 11 pound CGW in mine. It works fine, runs great, and returns nicely.

Thanks for sharing

Either. And what size o ring fits in a cz?

I sort brass as well, even on a 1050. Mainly looking for the steeped cases and brands that I consistently have problems with, such as cbc. If you have a stepped case break in the chamber you’ll have a difficult time removing it and possibly spend as much time/cost as you have in sorting through the brass. If you damage the chamber removing it, it might mean a new barrel. Just a risk vs reward analysis if you want to sort, I know a lot of people who don’t sort as well.

That o ring idea is great. Anyone have the factory pins break?

Extended firing pins tend to break has been my experience. I’ve had better luck just upping the striker spring weight and sticking the the factory firing pin.

Can you find any of these powders at the moment?

The chambers are much tighter on the gen 5, my gen4 loads won’t fit in a gen5 barrel. If you haven’t yet, pull the barrel and plunk some rounds in the barrel and see if they will spin freely. On some glocks I have had to remove and polish the extractor on the top and bottom sides where it would contact the slide. This has helped extraction for me in several cases.

Have you seen the cz dwx? Sounds like it might be what you’re after. Believe they are unobtainium at the moment though.

Thanks.

Use a different holster buy my old match glocks look pretty worn. Hasn’t caused any issues other than looking like they get used. If you’re dry firing and using them wear is hard to avoid. Maybe just use it as a bbq gun and avoid the wear?

Thanks for the replies.
