    It may be your triggerbar spring came off the grove and got wedged between the frame and trigger bar

    ok that happened and I fixed it.
    The trigger still kinda sucks.

    I emailed CGW, they think the sear might be the issue.
    more later

    It could be the disco doesn't work with that combo. What exactly does it do or not do? Ask him if he has the original parts.

     

    the DA stacks up kind of a lot, it pretty heavy and when I breaks it's more of a snap. I'll reach out to the CWG guys tomorrow and see if I have the wrong disco.

    Thanks!

    It looks like they all are Cajun Gun Works parts. You have the race hammer, 85c trigger, CGW Trigger pin and one of two different types of disconnector CGW sells. FP could also be different because certain discos require a different FP setup.

    Awesome. Thanks. 
     

    any idea why the DA feels… bad?

  4. I got this forever ago, sold it to a buddy, and recently bought it back. I remember something about CGW parts but can’t recall the specifics. 
     

    the hammer is obviously upgraded. The trigger is too (it’s threaded for one screw. Cz85?), the trigger pin and firing pin look aftermarket as well. 
     

    the DA honestly sucks so I’m not sure what’s going on there. It’s go a very defined “wall”. 
     

    let me know what you think these parts are.

    Don't do it!  I have spent a lot of effort getting one to work. The main problem is the rotary magazine isn't designed to cam the rim of the case up under the extractors.  The Savage Mark II magazine works in that design because it is designed properly.  My solution was to gut the rotary mag and fix a Mark II magazine within it in the proper position.  I'll attach a pic.  Also the extractors need help by drilling holes in the bolt body and putting springs under the extractors to get a better grip on the bullet case.  The trigger can be improved, but theres

    a lower limit at about a pound where the trigger won't reset properly.

    If you have to have a Savage, get a Mark II.

    this is the information i needed! 
    I'll avoid. thanks!

  6. long story short I'm just kind of over it.
    I live outside Washington DC and work a regular 9-5, but I'm upper mgmt, so I'm always on call Saturday and Sunday.
    Matches have become a time suck and i'm just not into it.
    I guess this is fairly normal, but I really don't enjoy matches anymore.
    Competition is cool and everything, but it's turned something that used to be fun into just another kind of "work."

    (gotta dry fire X hours a week, gotta drive 2 hours to get to a match, gotta burn 1/2 my weekend to go shoot 6 stages at a club match)

    Anyone else ever deal with this? (I'm sure)

    Did you quit? are you happier on the other side of it?


    I dug around and found this old thread: 

     

     

  7. just passing along a good deal for people wanting a first or backup cover vest. 
    I'm not getting any kick backs LOL.

  8. hey all. If this is the wrong forum let me know and i'll bounce it over to the USPSA gang.

    Locally there are two brand new czechmates for sale for very good prices (~$2000).
    so i could feasibly get both for less than what a standard open 2011 costs.
    I have a lot of history with sp01s and shadow 2 so I have a general idea of what i'm getting into with parts etc.

    my question is how viable is the Czechmate as a MINOR open gun?
    I don't reload so 9mm major isn't going to happen.
    They both come with a non-comped slide, so cycling with minor PF ammo won't be an issue.
    I know "big sticks" are an issue, but i think MBX has solved that.

    the 2011 guys can't want to say enough bad things about the czechmate vs their super gucci pistol, thus me asking here instead of the open gamer forum.

    thoughts? warnings?
