justaute Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 It broke during my practice session at the range. I replaced the broken TRS at the range for the very first time -- thank goodness to a CGW trigger pin and a slave pin. The entire replacement process took less than 5 minutes, with minimum number of tools. I'm no burningsquirrel or eerw -- but I felt like one for a very brief moment. Now if I can just shoot like they do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Taliani Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Good going on the swap! Was it the factory TRS, the CZC new style TRS, or a CGW lightened TRS that broke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaute Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 hmmmmm.... honestly, I don't remember. It was either a CZC new style TRS or the CGW TRS. Good going on the swap!

Jonathan Taliani Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Any idea how many trigger pulls you had on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaute Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Not a clue... I'd guess with both live-firing and dry-firing, MAYBE around 7k.

I've gotten pretty good at it. Unzip the black bag put the gun in, unzip other black bag pull back up out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 just polling, but did you keep it wet or relatively dry, or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I can't imagine doing that at the range. It took me about 30 minutes to get the TRS back in last time I had the gun apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer377 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I can't imagine doing that at the range. It took me about 30 minutes to get the TRS back in last time I had the gun apart. The CGW floating pin and the little slave pin that comes with it make all the difference. Must-haves in my book. Shadow #1 has a TRS with easily 20k+ pulls. *knocks on wood* Still running strong. I keep it pretty wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaute Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Wet...when I remember. just polling, but did you keep it wet or relatively dry, or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeZer Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 2008 Shadow here with over 60K rounds thru it and some dryfiring too, still on original trigger spring. The only things that failed on my Shadow - FO insert fell out at ~2-3K rounds, and slide stop broke at ~50K rounds. I had a few CZ guns come thru my hands and it seems (personal experience) that regular TRS (trigger return spring) lasts longer as opposed to 'improved' czcustom TRS.

burningsquirrels Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 just polling: dry or wet? grease or oil? i run my gun dry and mine broke around 18k, or somewhere there. i forget... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1SOW Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 just polling: dry or wet? grease or oil?i run my gun dry and mine broke around 18k, or somewhere there. i forget... lol CZ75B DA/SA: I run mine wet, and the TRS broke somewhere around 20K. I replaced the second one with a lighter spring for a while, and then went back to the second one. Maybe 25K+ on it. I need slide stops worse than TRSs--3 broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 i've only witnessed two slide stops break, but it's pretty funny. it was mine and another dude's CZ. neither of us knew it was broken until sometime after a match. i think i was wondering why it didn't go to slide lock for a while and then i realized one time that i went to lock the slide back and the lever fell out of the gun. it still ran fine i hand cycled it and it seemed to still work since the break point was on the outside of the frame. took the slide stop off my carry gun and kept on going the next day. pretty much the same thing happened to my friend too. he said it felt funny but worked fine as usual the whole day, and later he realized it was broken down the middle, lol.

1SOW Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Mine locked up the first time, another shooter loaned me his Shadow SS at the rest of the stages. It worked All of mine broke almost dead center. I think the "peanut" hole is what breaks them. I definitely carry a spare.

CeeZer Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Slide stop usually breaks right in the middle. Left (half) side still does the job as far as locking slide back on empty mag. Personally, I'd recommend replacing SS with new one after 30-40K rds even if it didn't break. And keep the other one as backup. That's for a cheapskate. I always have a new SS in my range bag.

justaute Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks, all. FWIW...I've broken a total of four TRS on my Shadow that has about 20k rounds. One CZ original, two CZC, and one CGW. In addition, I've broken one slide stop and one adjustable LPA sight -- yes, I'm the King of breaking-parts.
