I'm not entirely sure which one is in mine now because I bought it used, but I have the CGW tuner pack that I can fool around with. 12# here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmaris Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I ordered some recoil spring from CGW and they came today. I replace original on TS with Green (#13) and it is much stronger than #13 on TSO. Did anybody have chance to make the same change and have had the same feeling? There is no way I can measure real ##, so I am relaying on info from manufacturers.

igolfat8 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Yes, until all the coils are collapsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look for another scale. Thank you very much. I did try and compress them to certain length ( the same for all of them) and if we take to consideration that original on TSO is #16, CGW #14 Gray is actually "reading" #15 and #13 Green actually "reading" #14 (this is not actual numbers, they just about #1 or 2# less then original TSO spring). I am not sure if this reading accurate, so it is not statement, it is assumption. Original spring on TS is "reading" #14. I set up TSO with "#14" (green from CGW #13). Will try tomorrow and will report how it goes. Edited March 2, 2019 by Palmaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyfeet Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I'm new to TSO and have questions about the factory sights...how wide is the rear notch and does any one know the width and height of the front fiber optic. I,m thinking of going with a narrower Dawson front fiber Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loaded605 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I'm new to TSO and have questions about the factory sights...how wide is the rear notch and does any one know the width and height of the front fiber optic. I,m thinking of going with a narrower Dawson front fiber Thanx I got the .150 tall x .100 wide at the advice of a friend who knows. It is roughly the same height as the stock front sight. I didn’t need to adjust the rear sight any. I like the narrower front sight but the .100 wide is really small. I wished I had got a different on that was a little wider. I had previously used Dawson sights on a Glock that were .135 wide. I have since adapted and like them though. I also got extra green fiber because I really prefer green over red.

You cannot to go CZ's website, write down the listed height of the sight and order that height from Dawson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fasthenk65 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 My TSO 9mm trigger was too light (750 grams) upon arrival. The 'break' always comes unexpected. Many ' accidental discharges' . I was afraid that I had to get rid of an otherwise (accuracy, comfort as for fit etc) perfect gun, maybe best I ever had in my hands. Tnx to CZ expert Bosko Racovic form Luckydelta.com I found the solution. Install new aluminum trigger + extra trigger spring (one from Shadow 2) and gun is now at 1,3 kg and will reduce to roughly 1,1 kg after break in. Soooo Happy!! Just for your reference.

Palmaris Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Today I had chance to measure springs on calibrated push\pull force gauge. To my surprise all springs were within reasonable limits as claimed. Except original spring from TSO, that came out #14, not 16 as claimed on internet. The only spring I didn’t measured was Green from CGW-it is install in the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually measured spring lengths and counted the number of coils. Spring weight is linear with the number of coils per inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is correct, at least with the springs that came with my TSO. The one that came in the gun has noticeably denser coil count, that is the 16. Of the other two the shorter one is absolutely the 11 lb as it is noticeably easier to rack than the longest spring which is noticeably easier than the stock.

This information was just verified by an inside salesperson at CZ-USA on another site. Best advice is to count the number of coils for each spring and divide by the length of the spring. The higher the coils per unit length, the higher the spring weight. Edited March 7, 2019 by bemanuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
