I thought you were in Europe, using Lovex and Ares You stated that you reload together. But do all 3 of you make your own ammo or do you make 1 batch and use from the same batch? Did you try ammo that is not crimped? I never used Ares bullets but 1.06 (or 26.9 mm) seems short for a S2. I use LOS 124 and load at 28.9 without any problems. Maybe check http://reloaddata.pl/en/load_by_caliber/1/?sort=bullet&page=4 You might need to register but it can give you some reference at what coal others are loading Before starting any work on the barrel I would check and recheck and make shure you dont make any mistake during reloading. Maybe (just to make shure) try a couple of other bullets.

Personally I would never put my complete gun in an ultra sonic cleaner. Not even the assembled sear cage.

You cant order Slides, barrels or frames.

$ 40 for a front sight???? I took one from my spare box and cut the top of in about 1 minute, 3 minutes filing and some cold blueing

I checked an almost unused an untouched factory sear cage and that has a flat machined service on the end. If I found a sear cage with a piece (broken??) of, I would replace it, especially if I had ejection problems

I whished I knew at what compressed size manufacturers rate hammer and recoil springs because I measured the s... out of them and never came close to any advertised pressure. If you're close to the lightest usable spring rate changing springs based on manufacturers ratings is a risk. In the past I noticed the the 1911 users are more advanced on this subject.

https://www.doubletapsports.com/cajun-guide-rod-s2 I dont see them at the CGW site.

Probably because english is not my first language but "yank, "smack" and "distort" always gave me more problems then they solved.

My front sight is at the exact same height as the bottom of my Vortex Venom window. The dot is in the middle. I does not interfere When I mounted my red dot I also wanted to remove the front post and cut down an old front sight that I had laying around and soon found out that this was a useless action.

I think this is the original part number: 0440-0630-03ND if you cant find it in the US try these two shops. Factory: https://eshop.czub.cz/en/ Parts supplier: https://www.cz-spare.parts/ One is the factory web shop, the other one is a parts supplier. I ordered from both in the past and the parts supplier is service minded. Although it is not on their website I'm pretty shure they can get it. Just send them an email. Yes its a foreign country but hey thats were your gun came from in the first place.

I know this shop is in Europe but they have the part in stock. They are however quick and shipping is reasonable (that's my experience within Europe) https://www.ipscstore.com/en/cz-75-sp-01/445-cz-75-safety-detent-plunger-right.html

I use one of these. If you keep the well lubricated there ok. Doen about 15 sights with it and I cant spot no wear. https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005001457100867.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.7e5062aaXCYEx9&algo_pvid=fcf3368f-dae4-4b78-9d0b-4696d6b44491&algo_exp_id=fcf3368f-dae4-4b78-9d0b-4696d6b44491-0&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000016190797153"}

measuring 8 different (new) springs some time ago I noticed that the values from the 3 different brands were of by at least 2-3 pounds. So spring with a certain compressed length and advertised as 16 pound springs would give the same value as springs advertised as 13 pounds at that same length. I have had springs with the same value from the same manufacturer that were 2 pounds of. I personally could not find any logical correlation between the advertised values, the actual value and the installed height when springs were mounted in the gun. I'm talking about hammer springs here but I have no reason to believe mainsprings are any different (better) I wished manufactures (aftermarket springs and guns) would state how they rate their springs. That wouldn't be to hard as this is standard for (f.i.) valve springs. With a hammer spring I can measure changes, with a main spring it's trail and error. In shooting we are talking about grains, grams and 1/100th of millimeters that could make a difference but with springs we are left in the dark.

Yigal; I might try that one. Ipscstore is in Europe and a reliable seller so that would be no problem getting one.

I mounted a Cajun bushing and found no difference at all. Not in fitting the barrel and not in accuracy.
