Works great in SA. Fits tighter without the risk of a screw moving and making the gun inoperable.
use the CZC disconnector a lot in this application.
Ive used CGW parts for everything. Is there a difference with the CZC part?

I may be mistaken but isn't the disco only for DA.
That's what I was thinking. Everything I read about it was related to DA/SA guns. What got my curiosity was that people said it reduced their SA reset. Wasn't sure if it could be used in a SAO format.

Thought I would try asking this question here because I'm not getting any traction in another post.
I have an SP 01 that has been converted to SAO. I removed the stock disconnect and removed the fpb. The trigger has slight take up and I was wondering if I can fit a CGW T3 disconnect to remove the movement.

Bueller?

I have my SP 01 set up for SAO. I've done the following;
CGW SAO trigger
CGW production legal hammer w/adjustable sear
CGW sear spacer
Removed FPB
Removed stock disconnector
CGW reduced power trigger return spring
CGW reduced power firing pin spring
13lb mainspring (might put stock back in now that its SAO.
Trigger is pretty darn good as it is right now, but I was curious if I could fit a CGW T3 disconnector and really remove any pretravel. Most of what I've read was people using the T3 in their DA/SA guns. Has anyone tried one of these with a SAO set up?

You sound like me a decade ago. I was the guy to beat at my little club for a couple years, then went to the South West Pistol League and people literally thought I was a brand new shooter. Just practice. Every GM started at the same level as you once.
The CED 7000 is excellent if you’re shooting .22 because it can be set very sensitive. The downside is that the screen is tiny and the numbers wash out if you’re wearing polarized glasses. Other than that it’s perfect in my mind.
I will pretty much be using the shot timer for dry fire only. I don't have any ranges near me where I could live fire with. I pretty much wrote off finding a timer that can detect the sound of dry fire. I would be using it to set par times.
I just need to tell myself to slow down. If I take my time reasonably I get good results. I just want to impress all of those sponsored guys

So I've been shooting in USPSA style fun shoots and have seen good progress in how I finish. I shot a all stage qualifier a month and made class C. I thought this was accurate.
Yesterday I went to my first club match and it was a rude wake up call. I was 76/110 overall (my last fun match was 23/105. Everyone is scored major PF at the fun matches regardless of class or caliber. So my charlie and occasional deltas didn't hurt me as much, and moving/shooting fast felt like I was doing the right thing. On the last stage of the day (of the club match) I took my time with my shots and my alphas went up but by then it was too late.
I think my problem is that I'm trying to go fast like the big boys in the jerseys. My goal now is to get a shot timer and work on getting a good draw and working on slowing down my shots. My reloads and movement are decent. Anymore advice for someone just starting out and trying to shoot beyond their abilities?
Lastly shot timers. I've been looking at the CED7000 for dry fire and par times. Is this a good choice or is there a better option?
Looking forward to some hard work to work my way up to become a better shooter.

Welcome Clamper 13. Tracy is almost the local hotbed for revolver shooting. Richmond Hot Shots has an occasional ICORE match, and well as USPSA shooting twice a month. San Luis Obispo Sportsman Club has a monthly ICORE match as well as USPSA, I shoot at The Oakdale Sportsman Club Twice a month. We have a fair revolver turnout, especially before a major revolver match when we put away the autos and concentrate on revolvers. Rich Wolfe won high overall against all divisions last match. He seemed unbeatable. At least until he ran into Poggie at last weeks Regional in Fallon. Check websites for dates and times. Oakdale is close to Tracy. Bring your revolver, we'll show you the ropes. Richard.
Thanks Richard! I actually shoot at Oakdale for the fun matches. I will be there this Sunday with my CZ. Once I get my gear set up for my revolver I plan to test it out at Oakdale. I'll try and look for you. I will be the big guy with a beard and ECV hat.

Thanks for all of the advice. I think I will slowly get set up for revolver so by next year I can start to compete.
Does anyone have a good source for 38 long colt data? I've checked my lymans and hornady manuals and have not found anything.

I've recently joined USPSA this year with intentions of shooting my CZ in production. Its been fun so far but I really prefer shooting my revolvers.
I have a 627 pro series that I would like to compete with. Can any of you more experienced members help me get on the right track? I've read internet forums but it's looking like competing with my revolver is out of my budget (in regards to holster, moon clip holder, moon clips, and modifications to pistol). Maybe I'm over thinking things. Some of the things I need advice on are;
Ammo (I currently reload my own .38/.357 ammo)
Holster
Moon clip holder
Modifications to revolver ( currently stock except for Hi-Viz front sight)
Shooting USPSA or try and an find ICORE clubs
I would like to stick to Minor PF to be able to use all 8 cylinders. All in all I have no clue where to start or what I need. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I live in Tracy, CA BTW if there is anyone local that can help me out. Thanks.

True. You don't have the parts that were removed when you converted to SAO? My rule has always been keep any serviceable part you remove from a firearm. You can always sell it or give it away later. You never know when you will need it again.
I do have the parts. I always keep anything I replace in case something breaks. I was more or less making a joke about justifying new parts instead of purchasing a new gun.

Its a trigger and a disco. Maybe $60.
Maybe another hammer. Youll get a 2nd hand one for peanuts on here. Lots of people change them out.
I have a CGW production legal hammer installed. I've also removed the FPB so that would need to be put back in.

You have one of the best production guns already -- the SP01
Sent from my iPad using TapatalkI wish I got into competition shooting before I went SAO.
I could always tell the wife that the parts to make a sweet production gun are cheaper than buying a new gun with all of the mags and holster.
-
I appreciate the advice. I think I will run what I have for my first year. After that I might have more of an idea of what division I want to shoot and get the proper pistol.

I plan on leaving in a few years. All of my family is here. This place is the absolute worst (don't need to tell any of you that). The only state where illegals and criminals have more rights than the American citizens.

LOL. No problems there.

You dont need to make all A's, but you do need to make mostly A's.
Eventually I will get something for production. Hopefully I will be moving from CA in 2-3 years and heading to Idaho and I wont be restricted on types of pistols I can buy and mag limits.

Hello,
My names Kevin. I currently live in Tracy, CA. I've been shooting for a few years now. Spent 4 years as an armorer in the Marine Corps. Recently started getting into shooting sports. Hopefully I can learn a lot from you guys.

I recently got into shooting sports. A sportsmans club 1 hour from home home has USPSA style fun shoots once a month. At these fun shoots everyone is scored in the open division with major PF regardless of firearm type. My last match I placed 33/113. It has been a good way for me to learn more about the sport. Now that I have a little experience I wanted to join USPSA to start attending actual events.
The problem I'm facing at the moment is that I've been using my CZ SP01. I've modified the gun to SAO and removed the FPB. Since that puts me out of production division I would have to compete in Limited 10. So my question would be how much of a disadvantage would I be shooting minor PF? I would assume I would need to make all "A" zone hits to be able to compete with everyone shooting Major. I don't have another gun that would let me shoot in production (at least not anytime soon).
Any advice would greatly be appreciated. This is my first post.

I would like to apply this to the front strap and back strap of my SP01. Would I need to sand the finish first or will the epoxy stick to the finish after cleaning with alcohol alone?
