maybe the problem in the store.
Lol, I've read of lots of people with .40 TSO's having this issue. It works out of the gate, but after the extractor channel gets dirty it hiccups. I've not had an FTE since replacing the spring 8,000 rounds ago.
-
Common problem. Mine did it. I know two guys who bought theirs at the same time from the same store. Need the extra power extractor spring. Also keep it clean back there before majors. Friend who shoots a Shadow 2 also put it in, despite the warning not too and it is more reliable.

how do you tell the difference? Is there a measurement to take?
Sorry, missed your reply. Looking at the pic it is the old style. You’ll be good just ordering the extended RHS extended safety. But if you get it and it fits loosely you’ll need to order the LHS TS safety. Mine required filing to make it fit. -
No Dillon fanboy here, just making sure the OP gets accurate info. He doesn't have to go to a single stage to load accurate ammo. Just use good dies (I suggest Forster rather than Dillon) and good load development.
Jesus Harold Christ. You’re right. A single stage is a stupid option. Don’t mind me. -
Are you saying he should buy a Rockchucker single stage press instead of paying for 223 dies? What good would that do? If you're not counting the cost of the dies, which would be needed either way and certainly don't need to be Dillon, then a Rockchucker is not cheaper than converting, and doesn't necessarily translate to better ammo.
You mentioned brass processing too, and if he wants to speed up that process it can be done faster on a 650 anyway with another tool head, if he is willing to spend the money.
Keep in mind the OPs question was “is it worth it?” I just gave an opinion and dillon fanboys are getting butthurt. I really don’t give a s#!t.

There's a lot of people out there who would disagree. I'm one of them.
With a couple of properly configured tool heads and an AutoThrower + AutoTrickler setup, you can churn out ammo suitable for PRS bolt gun matches as well as even F-class.
It'll be a good bit slower than cranking out 'hoser' ammo, but a hell of a lot faster than plodding along with a single stage - and fewer 'touches' of each and every component along the way.

Jesus. I didn’t say you can’t make good ammo on a dillon. All I meant was that rock chucker is a hell of a lot cheaper than a conversion kit, dillon dies, case feeder plate and quick change kit. And it’s just ready to make .223. OP asked if it was worth it. I gave an alternative. -
Bumping this up, Just bought a TSO on another forum and waiting for it to ship. Excited to jump from a G35 to something steel framed, and got a decent deal on this one so made the jump. Downside is im a lefty so i have a DAA holster to sell off and possibly a trip to the shop to get milled for an evil hand *thumb rest [generic]*.
I went the same route, G35 to TSO.
If it is the newer TSO that comes with the extended Shadow 2 safety and mag release, and you get the CZ Custom extended safety you’ll need the old style TS LHS safety to fit with it. If you don’t it will fly off. Mine did. Or if you can find the extended Shadow 2 RHS safety that will work. -
I do hoser 3-gun ammo on the 650. Everything else is on single stage. A 650 primes, powders, and seats quickly, but the brass still needs all the prep work.
If you shoot a ton, worth it.
If you shoot some and want accuracy, get a single stage.
If you don’t need the above, just buy it. -
Break in isn’t a thing. Just shoot it. I shoot 180 handloads. I put 8,000 rounds though mine this year. It’s as accurate now as day one.
-
Loaded605, what guide-rod are you using?
The one that came with it. Ditch the buffer.
I run a 13lb recoil spring. Could go down to 11, haven’t tried it yet. It is not one that came with it, I ordered them from Cajun Gun Works.
I also replaced grips with Henning, but Lok grips would be good too. I got Henning because a friend had them and I was able to find out they fit me perfectly.
Nothing else really need to be changed. Just shoot and practice.

I ordered the same one. You also need to order the LHS TS safety.
It will work, but it won’t stay on. You need this and then file down the pin until it stays on.

Little thread-creep, but I'm A Noob here!
Never owned or shot a CZ in my life, but I came across one yesterday and jumped on it. (cool story in itself)
I'm left handed, so I ordered a RH side extended safety, and since the *thumb rest [generic]* does nothing for me, I decided to
put the CZ multi-optic mount in its place, as well as move the mag release to the other side.
I have decided on the Trijicon SRO; I'm just torn on which MOA to get. My near vision sucks, but this is not going to be a defensive weapon, so I'm thinking the 2.5
might be the right choice.
Thoughts?
I’m also a lefty. The right hand extended safety fits with the old style TS safety. It won’t stay on with the shadow 2 safety that comes with it. You will need the old style LHS safety and then fit it.
I know this because I had my safety fly off during a match. -
If it’s a 9mm I wouldn’t worry too much. It will come with the most important things. Slide stop, like all CZ’s but you’ll have pins as backups that come with it.
Mags at Stoeger pro shop or CZ Custom are best price I’ve seen.
CZ Custom extensions are best imo (easiest to clean).
Extra trigger return and main spring. Good to go.
My rear sight started walking out during a class this summer. Gun was so hot it melted the Lol tite. Had the slide dimpled for the set screws. But it had about 900 rounds through it each day. -
Honestly, don’t pick a gun you think you want to shoot in USPSA until you get the hang of USPSA. There’s a lot of differences in the divisions. If you have a pistol just shoot that for a while.
I have a TSO in 40 and shoot Limited but that’s what I really like to shoot. 40 is a pain in the ass and it’s hard on the gun. Reloading your own ammo is really the way to do it, or shoot Syntech. Regular ammo is a lot snappier.
A friend of mine was in the same boat as you. Money set aside for a new gun and he wanted to shoot USPSA. He doesn’t reload and quickly learned that the cost of 40 ammo was a bit crazy. He struggled with it a lot.
Then he started shooting a Sig X5 and made B class in production pretty quick.
A 9mm TSO is a big competitive disadvantage.
If you really want to buy something snazzy, get a Shadow 2 and just shoot it. It doesn’t really need anything. You’ll also have cash left over for mags and holster and pouches, etc -
CZ TSO holster
in CZ
Red Hill Tactical. I’m not interested in the race holster thing. Not knocking, just not interested.

TSO buffer ?
in CZ
I took the buffer out of mine as well after the first one shredded about 500 rounds in. It is not necessary. 8,000 rounds later it is fine.

Ran a mag through it flawlessly. Thank god. I still think I’m ordering grams guts. Does your slide lock back with them?
My slide does lock back with the Grams spring and follower. If you don't already have a mag brush, bet the Arredondo that has the little tool in the bottom for popping the basepads off. I have one that doesn't have that tool from when I shot a Glock with TTI pads that were toolless.

Edit: I hadn't seen your response...
I get 20 in mine. If you’re getting 21, that’s cool, I have one CZC spring and follower that will do it, but I don’t care about one more round, reliability is more important to me. I just make sure I don't run out of rounds.
-
I didn’t do anything. Just put them in and pew.
-
Sorry. CZ springs are weird. Grams are great.
-
The springs are weird too. I put them in the mags I mainly use for dry fire and live fire practice and don’t use in matches.
-
It’s a tight chamber. I had that issue with my handloads. I added just a little more crimp and it went away.
That said, white box is the worst. I see more problems with that s#!t than anything. Try different ammo, and actually firing the gun.
I like the CZC extensions, but I don’t like their springs and base pads. I put Grams spring and followers in and it was 100%.

Not sure what you mean by “order the XL.” As in the XL 750? Or the big case gauge? I use a regular one but it’s fine.
Loads can vary a lot between pistols. My load in my TSO is 180 gr Blue Bullet 4.3gr Titegroup loaded to 1.135 on average. Usually use CCI primers, occasionally Winchester. PF is around 174-178. Mixed brass.
