Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. GET is at TDSA almost full time now. Eric is the best instructor I have trained with, without question. I have trained with Be Stoeger once, and John McNally a few times. They're both great guys. Love John McNally, and his Glock trigger is unparalleled. But my expectations were never set higher than they have been set by Eric at GET. McNally, being a 5-time Olympian, can probably shoot better than just about anyone, but Eric convincingly conveys why it's worth raising your training standards. I got to ETTS and TDSA, but I really miss Triple C!
  2. Thanks for asking, @RangerTrace. Did some baseball and basketball coaching, and work as a data analyst in the petroleum industry. Is there a "post these things in your intro" page that I should read? Also, somehow I managed to disable notifications. I never recieved notification of your reply, sorry.
  3. I have been browsing Brian's Forums for years without interacting much (because most questions have already been asked), so I figured I'd say hello from Dallas. Started out doing multi-gun matches with UML down at ETTS. Have done some training with various folks, including Ben Stoeger and John McNally. This led me to doing LOTS of handloading! Realized that training for matches wasn't meeting my goals, so now I almost exclusively train with Green Eye Tactical. In the past couple of years, I started a "training company" and train friends and family. Women are the best students, by far, hahaha...they almost always end up shooting better groups than their husbands. I have an NRA certification and insurance through them, but other than that I'm just training folks for personal benefit. It isn't exactly a profitable endeavor, but I find that I have a knack and a passion for it. For the record, this is not an ad for you guys to train with me. I'm a nobody in the industry. I don't have a website, business cards, or social media, but I wanted to be clear what my focuses and experiences are. This forum, the CZ forum, and the 6.8 Forum seem to be the best places to interact with folks who focus on getting better. Really appreciate the time you folks take to interact.
  4. I tried using a lighter recoil spring, and I do think it's the most tolerable one. It's the one the gun came with, probably 14lb. The video linked above was interesting, but I can't use buffers on my pistol because of the guide rod no giving clearance in the right place. It is possible that an S2C guide rod might solve that problem for me.
  5. Generally using handloads that are abiut a 125 PF (blue bullets and Sport Pistol powder) or Blazer Brass 115gr.
  6. This is a good description of how I train folks. Maybe I'll have to read his book too. Thanks!
  7. @HesedTech Really appreciate your comments and the time you took. "There are no solutions. There are only tradeoffs." - Thomas Sowell I have some Shadow 2 buffers and the factory 14lb spring or whatever the orange one is that it came with, so those will be the next thing I try. Thank you! My favorite pistol is the Laugo Alien: Massive recoil, minimal muzzle flip. The way it presses into your palm helps you correct your hand placement similar to a natural point of aim correction. I will accept that tradeoff if it is an option! As a reminder, the basis for my complaint is that the P-07 and the CZ75 Compact are nowhere near the flip of this pistol. The weight difference vs a P-07 is minimal. I have never shot a P-01 or an S2C, but the videos all make them look far tamer than my SLC. I'm not looking for a solution to better control the pistol with my hands; I'm looking for a way to tame the pistol itself. The techniques for doing so work just fine when moving and shooting or shooting a 45 Auto with a suppressor, and those techniques are not be necessary with any other CZ I have shot, not even a CZ97. With regard to my technique or my ability, I will not be increasing my firing hand grip pressure in order to group with a pistol. Grip pressure with the firing hand causes accuracy problems because of sympathetic muscle tension in the non-trigger fingers. In my experience as an instructor, sympathetic muscle tension is the primary reason that folks miss their targets. Adding grip with the support hand can increase accuracy, but its benefits have a low ceiling compared to the benefits of mastering the ability to pull the trigger without moving the sights. That being said, support hand grip pressure absolutely can decrease the amount of time it takes for the sights to return to the target. All of this is observable when grouping slow enough to watch your sights (yet another advantage of using red dots).
  8. Actually, I'd forgotten that emailed CGW a couple years back, hahaha. David told me that the only solution he could offer would be a ported or compensated barrel. I'm not sure that I'm willing to use either of those, but if that's what he offers, then it is settled. I simply can't understand how one pistol can be so much different from the normal CZ75 Compact series.
  9. Neither grip, nor added weight is going to offset this muzzle flip. Besides that, additional grip will only make it harder to hit the long shots. It sounds like there is no option other than springs. Maybe one of the heavier flat wire springs will be worth a shot.
  10. Yeah, mine is way worse than that. I guess I'll have to send it to Cajun or CZ Custom. I just don't know what they'd do that I haven't done.
  11. It has a steel guide rod. Please help me understand how a lighter spring would reduce muzzle flip.
  12. Possible, fair point. Why isn't the P-07 having a similar issue though?
  13. LOK Bogeys, and I have tried every recoil spring I can find. Main spring is 13lb blue one from Cajun. Not sure how heavy spring would contribute to more flip. Please help me understand that part.
  14. Any ideas why my pistol has such excessive muzzle flip? I generally know how to tune and work on all of the CZ pistols out there. Having said that, I realize that I'm asking a generally vague question in the hope that someone will think of something I haven't. Shadow Line Compact is basically a Shadow 1 Compact, so it stands to reason that it would be rather similar to the new S2C. If the S2C had the flip of this one, it wouldn't sell. I shot it side by side with a worn out, rental CZ75 Compact, and the standard Compact was similar to a P-07. My SLC has enough muzzle flip to rotate in my hand on every shot. I have used every different recoil spring I could get my hands on, and none of them make a noticeable difference (including the 22-lb option from Wolff. I had the slide cerakoted, and the muzzle flip was noticeably flatter until friction wore of the new.
  15. Are you guys still running 2 TRS in your guns? I just installed a CGW trigger, and the reset is just not there.
