    So the over hang caught me out but a little fettling work on the frame mount gives enough clearance (Toni Systems mount). Don’t use a spacer as you’ll shift your sight position over to the left which could take too much windage adjustment play out. I’ll get some more pics and show in detail as to what I did.

    Nice, yeah I figured a little filing would be the ticket.  Looks great.  I decided to just stick with my Orange for now.

    How does this work for states that banned 15 round mags? Wasn't that the whole idea for all categories and production (USPSA) only having 10 limits? To start with.

    Same as it's always been I guess, just 10-rds for everything.

    Update - order shipped - yahoo!

    Mine too.  Good to at least have some more on hand....just hope I don't have to replace every other match!

     

    They had actually sent me two before when I mentioned some of the failures I was getting, but still good to have more.

    I agree the RDB is softer/spread out recoil, but the reliability of the ejector and the lug issue are issues that CMMG does not seem to acknowledge.  I would love to run my CMMG at Steel Challange but due to dependability issue it sits in the safe. I contacted them once and asked if I could just buy the ejector spring $5.00 part and they told me I need to buy the rebuild kit $35 to get the spring.  I would replace the spring every 1,000 to 1,500 rounds to get the soft recoil and reliability, but not for $35!

    Yeah, to be frank I'm kind of on my last straw with this system when it comes to reliability.  As it stands right now I have a new bolt in place (and them sending me a replacement), and I'm hoping that both the newer ejector and extractor spring/o-ring washer will prove to be the trick.  But if it starts acting up again under 1000-1200 rounds, then I've enough and I'll go back to my regular blowback setup which I had gotten quite pleasant with a combination of hydraulic buffer and spring setup, and was dead-nuts reliable.

     

    I think it's a very clever system and certainly has its benefits on shooting and traceability, but I get the feeling that it's putting opposite forces on the traditional AR-bolt setup that it wasn't really designed for.  And then instead of a longer case to 'swing' out with more torque, you have a squat little case which just stays around until it sort of trundles its way out at the rear.  But I really hope now it stays reliable.  I can handle a spring replacement here and there every 1000 rounds, but not the mystery of if it'll make it through a match along the way.

    Thanks for the input HesedTech   LOL.... I do have a local gunsmith for issues.  Break?  CZ's break?  I have been using a Kimber 1911 .45 for 10 plus years and it has never broken.

     

    I hope the CZ is just as good or better!

    Two most common breakages are trigger return spring and the slide lock.  Just keep some spares.  CZ's are actually quite easy to work on once you get used to it, and also highly recommend the Cajun Gun Works replacement floating trigger pin.  Just be careful not to drop or lose small parts.

  6. They seem to stress reliability with a wide range of ammo.  I wonder about the other little parts, like if after a while the interchangeable trigger shoes get loose or fall away.  The REAL feat will be if that straight 20-round magazine stays reliable.

  7. Wondering if real or if a mockup....if the latter someone went to a lot of effort (not that it's the most elaborate picture ever mocked up, every bullet being the exact same clipping, doesn't really look that 'optic ready', etc.).

    If I had to guess I’d say a 365XL in 30 super carry 

    But a 20-rd mag would be an extended or something, which essentially any pistol can have.  That's why I think this is more likely something like a .22 with a 'duty-size' mag.

    In the video from max, you can see larger casings eject out the side so it’s def not a 22lr

    I dunno they looked pretty small to me.  Been trying to find a way to download the vid so I can get a better look.

     

    The cases do look a bit long for .22LR...but it could also be the effects of motion blur/fame blending....

    Maybe a .22 Magnum?  But they seem a bit short for that.

     

    ETA: holy crap is he sunburnt!

    Shooters in IDPA compete only with others in the same Division, not with all shooters regardless of Division.  I don't think the mag cap changes in RB 2022 are any attempt to put divisions on an equal playing field with other divisions.

     

    A few SSP guns out there have a mag capacity of less than 15 rounds.  The new 15 round rule makes some auto pistols, mainly 40 S&W, non-competitive for SSP.  Should SSP cap expansion have stopped at 12-13 maybe?

    That's why I found it weird, otherwise why have different divisions?  

     

    I just think they should have upped the capacity to 15 for all pistols since they were all 10 before.  Or just keep it at 10.

    15 rounds for co and esp makes a LOT of guns obsolete. 15 rounds for ssp makes only a tiny handful of guns obsolete.

    So might as well just keep it all at 10 like before.  Or just let every pistol start with maximum factory capacity.  I dunno, it just seems weird.

    It's about the gun not the stage.  ESP was created for the .38 Super 1911 when the sport started.  It's a 10 round gun. CO follows ESP in all aspects except it has an optic.  The 10 round cap is there to not render it non-competitive.

    I still don't see why they would only increase SSP to 15 rounds unless they are trying to give it an advantage to better compete with ESP and CO and whatever edge those have over SSP in their view.  Has SSP really been getting that overwhelmed by ESP and CO?  Because to me it's been more about shooter preference, at least between SSP and ESP, whereas the dot I can see giving some an edge.  Or maybe cause they ARE trying to even SSP and CO competitively, and since CO and ESP share identical scoring, ESP gets grouped in with CO.

     

    Maybe they should have just changed scoring for CO to distinguish it from ESP.

  12. Also want to note that for the extractor...they sent me a new one when I requested a while back, and also in the bolt that's part of the repair kit....it has the o-ring whereas before I think it was only the spring and center post.  I guess this holds up better against compression and kinking so it's what they recommend from now on.

    It says it will fit a CZ75 tactical sport.  Would that then fit the Czechmate?  It doesn't sound like it will....

    It should, they are the same frame as far as all the internals and externals go.

  14. I use the extended base pads that came with the nickel mags....

    And doing some fitting/filing on the legs of the follower, I get 20 rds whereas normally it's 19.  I think the Grams follower kits fit even more, but haven't tried.

  15. I probably could have managed just fine with a full front sight on my Shadow with a red dot.  But it was rather pointless as well since the slide milling for the optic removed the rear sight, so it wasn't a huge effort to just cut and grind it down.

     

    On a Sig P226 with an optic, I'm fine with the tall suppressor height sights that came with it with one modification...they were three white dots and that was distracting as all my irons essentially have blacked-out rears (maybe with tritium vials with they're night sights).  So I filled I the rear black dots with some black paint, and the dot works well I conjunction with the sights in case the dot ever goes out.  But if I couldn't keep a rear sight on that gun I would have taken out the front sight as well.

     

    So essentially, if there's a front sight with no rear sight to line up with, it could be a distraction for me because of so much muscle memory shooting irons and naturally lining them up.  Part of me by habit is not searching for the rear notch to even out with the lone front sight (even though I'm used to just a front on a shotgun).  And that's exacerbated if the front sight is 'normal' height, because then I'm raising it even more.  But if front/rear suppressor-height sights are there and don't take up much window, then they already line up naturally so it's fine.  Especially on a Sig which has always lined up and pointed naturally for me almost without even trying.
