JDIllon Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Just got a Czeckmate and I want to run minor, I have sever arthritis and can't take the recoil. Anyone running minor in there Czeckmate?? and if so what did you have to do? and what loads? Bullet wt., COAL, powder (brand) and amount?? Note, I want to run it in open configuration with comp. ect. Thanks, JD Edited January 9, 2019 by JDIllon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clw42 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Throw a low recoil spring in it and use whatever cycles the gun. However, the comp is going to be all but useless with minor loads. Also keep in mind you may have ejection/stovepipe issues because the rounds won't get 'thrown' far enough and may bounce off of the c-more mount and back into the ejection port.

yigal Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 all CM in the club shoot only minor 9mm standard ammo. very reliable. works 100% with fiocchi 115 gr. they use 10-11lb R.S. for this gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with a very light bullet (115 gr) completely covered in a jacket, and a slow powder like HS6 - and find a PF that is comfortable for YOU to shoot with your arthritis - the comp will like the hotter loads, but a medium load might be just the ticket (PF 150 or so).

JDIllon Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for the feed back. I wasn't taking into consideration that the comp will have very little affect with real light loads!! So, if I run with real light loads, then I would be better off without the comp. That way I would have less weight and no fouling of the comp. I will try some loads up around 150 and see what affect they have. Does anyone know what PF 115 factory target loads?? or say 124 NATO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trgt Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 When I had my czechmates they ran minor PF just fine with stock springs. A friend locally uses his CM minor PF for 3gun that way. I left the comp on as a barrel weight. Between that, and the fact it's overall a very heavy all steel gun, I'd just let that weight be the recoil reduction vs trying to amp up the load (more/slower powder) and just enjoy it.

Matt1 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I run a 9lb RS for both major & minor. There’s no real benefit from taking the comp off.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ85Combat Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Ok for minor, get some 115gn JHP's , Shooters World, Major Pistol ( D037.01) powder Load 8.4gn Major Pistol at an OAL that will work in your Czechmate. This will be a 140pf load and will work the comp. another powder that will run the comp at minor power factor is N105 8.4gn N105, @ OAL that will work in your Czechmate. This will also be a 140pf load and will work the comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George16 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I tried shooting my Shadow 2 loads on my CM just for fun in open minor and it was riculously flat shooting. It’s like shooting a .22! My shadow loads were 124 Gr FMJ FP with 4.1 Gr Winchester 231 @ 1.102-1.104 OAL. Pf is 126-128. I shot those loads with the comp and a 9# recoil spring. I also shoot these loads on my TSO.
