shucks I was afraid that's what it would come down to. I thought a comp would make a big difference even if I use factory loads. I guess I got akot more research to do. Thanks for your input I value what you have to say.

Thanks you for this. I am almost in the exact same boat. I haven't been in any official competitions yet just shooting at our small club/range on a small island in the pacific ocean, about as rural and limited access to any gun stuff as you can get. I do love to travel and would like to make competition shooting a part of my travel plans. I have a a pair of CZ P-09's that I plan to shoot in carry optics, and there a guy in our club that has an STI 2011 that shoots amazingly flat.. it's almost like he's cheating.. lol.. we don't separate our group in "classes" we just shoot together and for fun basically. We do keep track of times and have a point system and run a short series.. I'm currently in the 2nd with my Carry optics CZ's behind my fried with the flat shooting STI and 1st in PCC which I was swapping between a JP GMR-15 and a CZ Scorpion. I have been lusting over STI's and SVI's lately wanting to get into the open class and flat shooters. However like you have personally experienced, I have seen my friend getting jammed up a few times and having to constantly work out loads and springs etc.. I really don't see myself reloading and adjusting much on my pistol except for what I've done to it initially. Once the trigger, grip and mag release has the right feel and positioning I just want to shoot as fast as I can, using off the shelf ammo. (40cal so I'm in the Major PF without having to reload) I hope you work out your issues and the sport becomes fun again, thanks for your honesty, it has curbed down my need for an STI or SVI for the time being. I would love to build an Open CZ with 40SW if I can and may go that direction even more so now.

Hi, Any suggestions and thoughts for a 40SW factory ammo open CZ? I'm a new shooter that got a pair of CZ P09's during the pandemic. I cant really see myself doing any reloading and load developments, so started looking at calibers that would put in the Maj power factor from of the shelf ammo. it's hard to find open CZ's that fit this bill. I love my CZ's and would like to help with getting more Open CZ guns in the mix at competitions. I'm not a gunsmith or machinist but I do tinker enough with things that I wouldn't mind the work to make it work. I have been looking at the TSO and TS2 prior to running into this forum. I have not found any threaded barrels or compensators for them yet. Thank you for all the insight and testing that's been done in this thread.. it's a wealth of info. Just wondering if there's any new info in regards to a .40 cal. opens
