2planks Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I have a Tac Sport I picked up a couple of years ago. It is my primary pistol for USPSA and 3 Gun. About a month ago I had a hiccup on one stage at a local match. The gun ran flawlessly for the rest of the match so I didn't think anything of it. Fast forward a month and the problem is getting worse. I shot a 2 day match this past weekend and retired the pistol after the second stage. I had 3 malfunctions on the first stage and 5 on the second stage. There have been other matches in between with some malfunctions but the problem is now more pronounced. Here is what is happening. After I fire a shot, the slide cycles, the hammer is cocked, a new round is chambered but the trigger is not resetting. The trigger feels dead when I try to pull it. I thought maybe I was riding the trigger and not letting it reset but this past weekend, on the clock, I made sure to remove my finger to allow the trigger to reset but it did not. The fix has been to manually rack another round and then it seems to work. I did have one malfunction last weekend were I had to rack it twice to get it running again. I'm hoping the collective CZ knowledge of BE may have some insights on diagnosing the issue and potential fixes. I regularly clean the pistol (clean the barrel, remove carbon & oil/grease the slide). I will admit however that I rarely go much deeper than that when cleaning. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and offering advice.

Lowsc3 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Remove your your slide there's an adjustment screw for the trigger for i believe post travel try backing it out a couple turns it may be to tightly adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selecw Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Agreed. Sounds like the adjustment screws. There is one on the back of the trigger and on the face if I remember correctly for - pre and post travel. If the one on the face is screwed out too much it can do this. On a related note, remove and clean the extractor. If you don’t that will eventually bite you. Edited August 17, 2020 by selecw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimcfur Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 That would be the problem top set screw in to far will not let the trigger bar reset bottom set screw in to far will not let the hammer drop by you racking a another round in manually that helps to reset the pistol eventually that won't work for you reset both screws you be good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildPete Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 It sounds like you need to adjust the pre-travel. Video linked to show you how. https://youtu.be/K5v4Gh1TDrw?t=250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoRecon Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 My Czechmate did the same thing and it turned out to be the pre travel screw moved and prevented the trigger from resetting. Cold weather made it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2planks Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thank you to everyone for the replies. It was indeed the pre-travel screw. I adjusted it a little took it out for a test and it worked great. Shot a local match on Sunday and the pistol ran well for all stages. Thanks again!

WildPete Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) There is a video on YouTube of a guy that had the same issue. He called CZ USA to complain that his trigger wasn't resetting. No support from any of the comments just BS that a gun that expensive shouldn't do that. A gun that expensive you'd think you'd do the research before buying. I linked the video to help him with his issue but no response from the YouTuber. That wasn't you was it? I'm glad you were able to fix your problem and if it comes loose again...loctite.
