IF788 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I personally don't see the value. this week after 6K rounds I shot the bushing out during fire as the sight pin wore down and allowed the bushing to blow off during recoil. The gunsmith told me that due to tighter tolerances, increased friction, heat, dirty, dryness, etc its more prone to this than the stock bushing. THAT - and I cannot perceive any increased accuracy across 2 guns with then and 1 shadow without. 3 guns. I think its a giant waste of money. I put em on 2 guns "just because". Now that I think its akes my gun less reliable, I almost want to go back to the stock factory bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A4ME Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 What??!!! Get a different gunsmith. Nothing is going to wear that pin, no matter how many rounds you shoot. Nothing the pin contacts moves. Not the front sight, not the bushing and not the slide where the pin/sight/bushing fit together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what to tell you. the bushing magically flew off. never happened with the stock one. this is either an entirely random fluke, or, something about that bushing and its tolerances introduces unneeded friction etc.... my point is - if the accuracy gain isn't really noticeable why go thru with this part at all? even if my situation is not even related to this part, I personally have cause to think my money was not well spend regardless. that being said - its nice for bringing rights to say ".... yeah, my CZ is fully loaded EVEN has the bushing!" that's about what you get for your money.

rowdyb Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 My guns tightened up at least 2 inches on 25 yard freestyle groups. From 6-7" down to 5 and under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Are you sure the front sight pin was in the gun at the time it blew out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF788 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Yes. pin still in gun. its still in now. the pin was worn to the point it went flat and no longer held the bushing. I have pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bushing is assembled correctly nothing like this should happen. my new TSO suffered from poor accuracy 5" at 20yd from bench rest.(factory bushing was very very poor quality ) after i installed new good quality bushing from IPSC STORE accuracy is 1" . for me it was worth it.

Fasthenk65 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 My CGW bushing is in it for 40.000 rounds and it improved accuracy a bit... Like it. All helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCKY338 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 can you remove the barrel after you tap it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcernese Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Tap it? My barrel slides in and out normally after installing the bushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcar157 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 My barrel measures .551 and the CGW 10X bushing is .552. Yes a tight fit and when removing/replacing the barrel requires just the slightest tap with a delrin hammer. Does it improve accuracy? Can't really say but if it comes from CGW, then I am all in.
