Welcome N-A-A! Some day you'll admit it :-)~

I'm thinking that the ejection distance is an easy to assess "indication or inference" of the actual important things - proper timing and reliability of cycling.

Late to reply here, hope you get a notification. First, I though your name was for freakin' 9! When I was doing my 9mm PCC build I didn't come across anyone making a .38 super barrel in SBR or carbine length. You may get a a barrel maker interested in making one for you, for a few pretty pennies. Good luck!

Welcome! Like yourself, been shooting quite a while and stopping in occasionally so signed up recently. You get out what you put in, as always, so ask questions when you need to and help out when you can! Sorry about the CA things...

The buffers in mine are still intact after 1000+ rounds - both 9mm. Shooting everything from 115 to 150 and +P. I've heard very few verifiable reports of wickedly premature failure, but sh** happens!

Hard to say, then, other than try to run some heavier loads or any +P ammo that you have to really push the slide. Or at least a different brand of ammo. Sorry, I'm not really much help on this one through the keyboard!

Shouldn't be any issue with any ammo, but I've not shot Maxxtech. Can you get your hands on some 124 or 147 gr? You can check the buffer but it, most likely, is not chewed up yet. It should be good for a few thousand rounds, and the need for it is debated all over the place, but it is recommended by CZ. How does the slide feel when you rack it without a mag? If smooth and easy, is there any chance you are having a mag issue? Still puzzled here because I've never even heard of a TSO that hasn't been modded not running right. You can toss this out to the issues forum and see what others have to say.

OK OK gang! Easy now, we are all here for the common good so let's try to be supportive. If you want a competition gun consider one of the Shadows - and why not get the best, the 2 Orange or a Cajun or a CZ-USA Custom. If you want a really fun, really accurate gun to challenge your target capabilities consider the Tac Sport Orange. I couldn't decide, and now I have both a S2O and a TSO.

Welcome! You are gonna' develop a love / hate relationship with the sport, like the rest of us have!!! Good luck, and enjoy.

Hey Butch, welcome! I love my TSO and I haven't had any issues. I've shot everything from 115 gr. reloads to 150 gr. Action Pistol that has absurdly low velocity and never failed to cycle properly. What were you shooting? These Orange models are hand fit so maybe it's a little tight. I'm sure you cleaned it up good and put on fresh lube of choice. Throw some heavy weight rounds at it and see if it loosens up. Let us know!

Bruno's has N320 now (June 1 2021) - 6 lbs. @ $288 and 8 lbs. at $375.

Hey Bay City! We are down near Davison, and we sail out of Bay City. Where do you shoot in the area?

Thanks Bill, I appreciate the heads up!

Thanks George! We're about an hour due north of the Detroit city limits. Not a native so I get a kick out of the UM vs. MSU rivalries... and then there's the thing with the arch-enemy "The Ohio State". Makes for some good parties, that's for sure.

Hello to all! Now that the weather is warming up here we are out and shooting. I've "messed with" firearms since I was a kid on the farm shooting woodchucks and hunting. I've only gotten into handguns and target rifle shooting in the last few years. I like to shoot steel and do the Steel Challenge when and where it's available in the area. I run a CZ TS Orange and a Shadow 2 Orange, and am breaking in a Sig P320 X5 Max. Because ammo is crazy $ these days we picked up some .22LR guns and they have been a blast. The cheap Taurus TX22 my wife got is awesome and so much fun I got a TX22 Competition and threw a red dot on it. It's a great shooter, too! We are fortunate to live in the country so we were able to put together a little range in the back yard. 11 acres of our own with a 50 acre field behind gives plenty of room. We'd love to have people over for a little fun if you'd like to sometime.
