My Cajun goodies came in today along with 500 rounds of Everglades 9 major. Extended firing pin, which is a hair over 1mm longer. 10 lb recoil springs and some other stuff for other guns. I am pretty happy on how the firing pins come out, but if a spring ever lets loose, it could get interesting. Hopefully the 10# springs do the job as I have no idea where to get lower ones.

Thanks all. I am fairly intimate with the 75 series CZ platform. What I am not familiar with is the reloads and major ammo. I have enough springs due in tomorrow along with some other Cajun goodies. The ammo should be here tomorrow. I will say, no matter what, my store bought ammo runs fine. S&B 115 and 150 subs, not that I will shoot subs, but they work the mechanics of the pistol. SO I know it is NOT any internal issues. Hoping to have my XL650 in the next couple of weeks and I can make sure my ammo is done right. I really want to have stuff running smooth as I would LOVE to get my classification up to an A by summers end.

for forgot "pretty darn cute Russian chic" and blingy CZ.....thats a double win! Ima bit of a redneck and gravitate to shiny things.

Well, here is what I am doing/have done. I am not reloading, yet. This is my first MPF pistol. I have been shooting mostly production, and Limited Minor. I have wanted to step into Open Major for a good while. I should be loading my own next month. Buying $5K worth of pistols puts a damper on things. LOL. I have an order for various springs, extended FP w/spring, 11.5# hammer springs (just in case). All from Cajun and for both pistols. Now, I also have some Everglades 124 Major due in by friday. I am hoping the ammo is consistent, as the ammo I have been shooting is not (shooting buddies loads). I will probably start with the 10# Recoil, ext. firing pin kit, and might as well, stick in the hammer spring to make sure, even though the trigger seems fine. I'll post up my findings after I shoot it with all the new stuff. Bad part I need both pistols setup the exact same, so its twice the effort.

I am new to the Czechmate and sorting out the recoil spring. I bought one used, it had 3 springs in the case. Long, med and short, but no color etc. I bought a 2nd one and no extra springs. I got some major 9 to run through it and having some issues. Seems like the slide is not cycling like it is supposed to and I dont think it it returning to full battery. No primer strikes whatsoever. This is a random event. but a common event. If I run some 115 store bought, it runs fine, but it is not as flat as I would like. I have some springs from other full size CZs. Red=14(?) White= 10 and then some silver that I think are stock 75 series (Shadow, SP-01). That said, I will set these two up for major PF. Seems like 10# is the one to go with, is that good?

In the last 3 weeks, I picked BOTH of these up for $4700 So $2350 each, AVG.

Vulcan Machine Werks out of Texas does great work.

I think they are pretty much the same. I mean, may as well be the same. I run CompTac for no other reason other than my best friends wife is a sales woman for HSGI (ComTac). I have never had an issue with a single ComTac holster

I was afraid of that.....thanks for the info, sir Good thing is, I think I found my Czechmate locally.....so.

Cant find this and hopefully not a dupe. I know the TSO 9mm upper with fit on a Czechmate lower, but will the CM bbl and Comp work with the TSO upper? Looking at adding a back up to the Czechmate, and may go TSO and use the extra bbl and adding an optic. So basically buying a TSO and turning it into a good Czechmate backup for open. I have moved up to Open Division and would hate to have to go home due to a failure. Thanks If not, I will just buy another Czechmate

Following, as I just moved to Open and learning to reload. Thanks in advance

Here is what I have found: If you get your arms, wrists, grip squared away, the dot will appear in the same spot every time you come up to ready. This takes a LOT of practice. A LOT of dryfire/draw practice in the living room. A couple of years ago when I got in to USPSA, I wanted a dot. Got one, and then realized I sucked and the dot did nothing to help my basic skills. I went back to irons. All of 2018 I shot Production and some limited. This got my basic set of skills down as good as they can be. I just picked up a Czechmate and guess what, that dot appears right where I can find it with minimal effort. My body position is instinctually "there". The first two local matches, I came in 2nd and 3rd (pistols, overall) . Usually, I am in the middle of the pack. Actually, I was 1st in Open Div for both, shooting factory 9 minor. As others have said, focus on the target and when the little red thing meets the A zone......trigger.

Here is my P-09 I did and had done. Fully Cajunized.
