  1. Got mine from LGS yesterday. Here is test fitted on an A-01 slide with plate. Frame is old 75B SAO full cajun. FF to 35seconds to skip the rifle brass stuff https://rumble.com/v35pwuk-new-6arc-starline-brass-and-new-holosun-507-comp-green-pistol-dot.html Indoor bullseye match tomorrow. There is an outdoor USPSA match this weekend but it will be raining so whatever whatever... now to make piles of ammo again. Hope everyone has a good match and spew the pew!
  2. le sigh. still waiting... Anyone seen these out yet? link: https://www.kenziesoptics.com/product/holosun-507comp-green-dot-1/
  3. lolz... I had heard about stories like that but forgot the details. thanks for the reminder. guess I'll just save $$$ til then. I just called the LGS and he said that their dist is listing it but its not in stock so...
  4. Well I have an update. Call it hearsay or second hand but here is the story: I went to a rimfire pistol pin match last night with a friend. We were the only 2 shooting irons, everyone else had dots. We won 1st and 2nd in our division. Anyway, there were a couple other shooters there talking about CZs and race holsters etc so I asked if they had heard about this new optic and was about ready to start the sales pitch. One of the guys stopped me and said he had 2 on the way already. The look on my face was obvious and I asked him from where. He said Optics Planet to which I gave a brief sigh as I have heard about "stock orders" for that website. We go and setup pins and then he shows me that they did have some in stock and now its showing not in stock. He shows me his receipt order on the phone but all I could see with my old eyes was $3xx. But he was quite convincing and a good shooter. So looks like the race is on. good luck.
  5. I am looking to run local Limited Optics for fun this season. Anyone know when this sight will drop on the market? It seems like it should be within a week or three..
  6. very nice and informative video.
  7. Updates:Part 2:https://rumble.com/v2665g4-cz-97b-part-2-cgw-race-hammer-and-wide-shelf-safety-install..html CGW Race Hammer CZC wide shelf safety fitting a sear to a safety vs using the adj sear. Part 3:https://rumble.com/v266tu6-cz-97b-part-3-ext.-fp-install-target-results-and-build-review.html Removing FP retaining pin and installing CGW Ext FP retaining pin First shots on the completed build targets and review thoughts I will be working on getting a 2 cam (close cam) setup for the next build.
  8. Prof Atlas - mad props and golf claps all around... I've been working on my 97 recently and just posted this detailed video. I am by no means a professional but I wanted to get something on Rumble JIC https://rumble.com/v215uug-cz-97b-build-phase-2-sao-conversion.html In relation to CZ tuning I have a question about fitting a sear to a safety. On the 97^^^ I fitted the sear to the safety as opposed to using the adjustable CGW sear. I feel like if done right this method provides much more contact area. I think next time I will work this option as well. Also I noted that the face of the safety was not quite level so I will start with that next time. Also another question is because the safety nub is a curved contact area, is there a preferred method to undercut/file the sear on a concave face to match the safety nub? As opposed to filing the underside of the sear flat? Hope that makes sense. In any case glad to see more recent notes here. have a great 2023.
  9. that's awesome. I like the ruger 22s but if I didn't have them already this would be a great way to go!
  10. thx for the notes on this. I've been out of reloading for a while but will hopefully be firing up the press soon. Never thought about the weight causing hopper issues
  11. what's up JJ- love your builds - thx for the info - I believe I have the CZC wide safety, 2 of them actually - CZ TS Extended LHS #10226. I guess my question is - will they work in S2? I don't have a S2 or TS so these are just extras for me. I bought them a couple years ago after not finding the std 75 frame ones thought I could make them work. but after looking and comparing I just saved them for when I get a TS. I did recently find a couple of nice wide 75 std frame safeties and they seem to be great but havent test fired yet.
  12. Which Safety does the S2 use? Is it the one for the standard 75 or the wider TS safety? Edit: It looks like the S2 and the TS may use the same safeties. If this is true, I may be your Santa Clause. PM me for details. Cheers and Merry Christmas to all!
  13. What's up gang - Its been well over a year since I have posted here - I'm trying to get more content on Rumble before YT makes the masterful tutorials go *poof* https://rumble.com/v215uug-cz-97b-build-phase-2-sao-conversion.html Much props and hands down to the masters (I am but an enthusiastic part time brok triggersnob), but I feel something is better than nothing. Here is a quick review: lock Tite on the LCI plate screw as it ejected at practice session with hot loads - apparently its a thing. Lok Grips - blue, I also like the rubber grips, I don't like the metal or wood grips that much Mods: Phase1 - CZC E conversion, S2 mag catch, Rear sight Phase 2 (this video) - CGW SAO trigger, Floating Trigger Pin, reduced power trigger return spring Phase 3 - race hammer, shelf safety, FPB removal, ext FP and spring, polishing Feel free to comment on Rumble good or bad - I'm working on a better bench setup for phase2 Other associated CZ builds in this video: https://rumble.com/v1fcup9-cz-race-gun-trio-in-the-pistol-pit-shooters-paradise-guntersville-alabama.html cheers and have a merrry christmas
  14. Hey, I'm loading the NAS 3 cases and had similar issues with cases straight out of the bag. But I dusted them with walnut media for 10 mins and that ended my issues. I'm hoping to use these for major rounds so we will see.
  15. Just catching up on this thread again. wow. that looks super cool Ludde... Great work!
