    TS CZC Magwell install issue

    in CZ

    OP:  if your magwell is from CZ Customs, you don't install the cross pin, which CZC refers to as the 'main spring plug pin' 

     

    From their website: We suggest removing the main spring plug pin so that the main spring plug keeps pressure on the mag well at all times.

     

    Sweet!! Well... At least that's one thing out of the way.

    I guess I need to circle back on this..

     

    Safety.. Well... it looks as though the extended CZC safety needs some manner of fitting,  I installed the magwell and put everything back together with the stock safety and all is well. 

     

    One thing, and I may have this dorked up as well, the main spring plug, and the cross pin for it, when I use that cross pin, there doesn't seem to be any pressure on the magwell and it will *rattle* as in, it's a bit loose... where if I leave it out.. the mainspring is applying pressure and the magwell is tight.. What is the purpose of that cross pin? 

     

    Do I have this crossed up? Is that pin needed with the czc magwell??

    Let's try to clarify what is going on.

    1. New safety is installed and functions correctly

    2. Main spring (located in the grip, orientated vertically, e.g. up/down) installed during safety functional check

    3. Slide magwell over grip (no change to main spring) and safety no longer works.

     

    The mainspring isn't affected/impacted when the magwell is attached.  At least on my pistols. No good reason for the gun to function properly with the main spring installed and no magwell and not to work when sliding the magwell on over the grip.

     

    Pictures of the pistol with/without the magwell installed would be the next step

     

    I had my terminology jacked..

     

    The spring is the main spring.. (The spring that's on the hammer) 

     

    I really don't know what is going on..  maybe the safety does need fitting??

    So... Installing a CZC safety, and also magwell, and upon reassembly I'm not sure exactly where I'm derailing... 

     

    I got the safety in.. ok.. test trigger.. still works.. engage safety, trigger doesn't work... check.. flip to fire.. trigger works again.. bingo!!

     

    Put the magwell on.. Push the pin in, and slide the magwell over.. safety will no longer engage.. Do I need a shaved down plug thingy in order to install the magwell?  It looked like there was the same manner of dimple there to accommodate that dimple..

     

    The trigger spring is stock,  is that the issue here? Before getting too frustrated.. I thought I'd ask

    I have had no issues with feeding from either of the mags.  Now I do tend to load .40 in the .40 mags and 9mm in the 9mm mags, so this wasn't really a surprise :)  While a person could likely run 9mm bullets in the .40 mag, I doubt anyone here would do so for anything but practice.  That would seem to be a point of significantly diminishing returns when you consider the price of a few additional mags in relationship to the cost of the pistol.

     

    I have read that in order to run the extended mag basepads in the 9mm mags you need to modify the followers as they don't like going beyond the 'dimples'.  Getting some 9mm basepads is on my 'to do' list, so I'll know first hand shortly.

     

    that's interesting... What base pads are you thinking of going with.. one of the guns came with springer precision ones.. and in looking, I bought CZ custom ones for the other mags.. the CZ customs ones are a WAY better design IMHO... You can get them on and off easily without  special tools, and without kicking the hell out of the springs.. I'm sold.. worth the money in my book..

    The Tactical Sports mag bodies are physically different between 9mm and .40

    Those dimples running the length of the mag must keep the smaller bullets in line.. OR lack thereof on the 40 will allow them to shift around and feed silly..

    3 TS's???  You are living the dream man!  I was nervous when I got mine, but it has been the most impressive gun I've owned.

     

    I'm kind of retarded..  but thank you.. lol

    I have  the 40.. USPSA limited w.. a back up

    I bought the 3rd in 9mm for 3 gun...

     

    Picked them all up 2nd hand.. so... it wasn't "that" bad.. 

     

    I have a Tanfo limited elite custom in 9mm too that I want to sell...  It's been all tricked out. I'll take a bath here... I bought that one new.. 

     

    I got the CZ's.. I prefer the CZ!!

    If I must, I'll buy mags specific to each caliber gun. 

     

    I have 5 mags that are 40 

     

    The 9mm gun has 3 mags, and I'll buy base pads for them.. 

     

    IF it's don't mix them.. I'll buy a different color base pads for the different calibers.

    New to CZ's and really competitive shooting in general.. 

     

    I got a CZ TS, and honestly love it.. Great gun... Shooting limited.. So.. got a 2nd in 40.. just ordered some base pads from CZ custom.. got those.. I REALLY like that design.. 

     

    Anywho.. since I'm already traveling down the rabbit hole, I bought a 3rd.. this one in 9mm for 3 gun.. 

     

    My question, are the 40 and 9mm mags interchangeable?  I believe that to be the case with Tanfo's is it the case with the TS's? 

    Whose Parts?? (CZ TS)

    Posted

    Thanks for all the replies! 

     

    I haven't done anything yet.. zzt I think that sounds like a pretty good plan. I'm sure the gun in it's current state is a better shooter than I am, so it's run it until I guess.. lol

     

    Sure seems that these pistols don't need a whole lot anyway.. So that's good to hear. 

    Whose Parts?? (CZ TS)

    in CZ

    Posted

    I've ended up with a couple CZ TS's that are stock.. Being new to the whole CZ thing whose parts are the bee's knees for these bad boys? Cagun? I think that's about all I know.. I mean of course CZC, are there others out there?

     

    I guess it then begs the question.. But way to further optimize the guns? There are both in 40. 

     

    Thanks!

    CZ Shadows 2 is coming

    in CZ

    Posted

    I was walking through a gun show tonight.. and low and behold.. a shadow 2. 

     

    It looked kind of lonely sitting on that table... Sooooooo I had to bring it home. 

     

    In talking to the guys that were selling them.. The show opened at 3pm, they got a delivery of 5, one ws a bit of a pre order and sold. So they had brought 4 to the show. I saw the gun on display about an hour after opening, and I don't they'd sold one yet.. I talked myself into one, and swung back by a couple hours later after walking through..and I bought #3.  So the display pistol was the only one left.. 

     

    My first CZ.. Having nothing to compare it to, seems just peachy to me! lol 

    Which Shot Timer?

    in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

    Posted

    So..  I've tried getting apps for my phone, and nothing is really all that great as far as setting par times and getting thing that work well for even dry friing. 

     

    With that being the case, I'm willing to buy a pocket timer.. but which one? I don't know a whole lot about them. Is there some manner of buyer's guide to those things?

    i have yet to see a great performing brake that doesn't piss off the neighbors, and blow your own hair back.....

     

    tac com buffer system is ultimately the lowest reciprocating mass...  i have mine paired with rubber city gas key.....

     

    why the luth stock?  ....  2 pounds (ish)

     

    Not sure if you were asking me here?? But why I have it, I'm a pretty tall guy (6'4") so my thinking was to be able to get the length of pull, adjusted more closely using one of those.

    Ditch the 72. Go with a Titan or Miculek or something else, the 72 is too much gas in the face to deal with.

    The Sentry is a very good block Just turn the screw in and out after a range trip to keep the carbon from locking up the screw

    Go with AR Gold. Great, short reset. Better break for long range than the S3G. S3G goid for bay only matches, but not that good for long range or small offhand targets. I haven't used the 24c, only played with it years ago. I liked the short reset and 2011 pistol-like feel of the AR Gold better. YMMV, try to find local people to try theirs.

    Seems like for the $$$ the Miculek is hands down the best value.. is it lighter than the titan?  

     

    I do want to try a few triggers..  I think I would be a fan of the 1911 style pieces.. I do have a 2 stage national match in the gun I have now.. but not really sure it's "one" so to speak..
