@@FirstLast-ff7qx no I don’t. Not because it is not perfectly suitable in its factory configuration but because I like to tinker. List of things I have done to it: -Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight -turned the factory rear sight around backwards to provide a clean blacked out sight -LOK Grips thin checkered grips -Cajun Gun Works(CGW) reach reduction kit -CGW 13 pound hammer spring -CGW lite plunger spring -CGW firing pin spring -CGW firing pin retaining pin -CGW reduced power trigger return spring -CGW floating trigger pin -CGW SS recoil guide rod

@ShooterReady489 nice man. U do it urself? I got a 75 compact just like u n a 75b omega. Both great so far. I havent done one thing to em. Only thing i tinker with is 1911s to tune which is like the worst platform to do so to lol. And just general trouble shooting. The czs have been great out the box to me. U ever had problems the firing pin retaining pin? I never had but i guess the internet has

@ I haven’t had issues with the firing pin retaining pin either. But since I know it is a thing, I do all my dry fire practice with snap caps to prevent possible damage. Only time I drop the hammers on empty chambers in my CZs is when required to do so after shooting a stage at matches. The CGW retaining pin is supposed to be more forgiving.

@@ShooterReady489 thanks for the info man. I dont dry fire at all. Would you consider it a non issue?

@@FirstLast-ff7qx if you are not dryfiring it then the firing pin is not going to make contact with the retaining pin so you are correct that it would be a non-issue.

@@korazjian5251 IDPA is a ton of fun. Even though it is “based” on self defense scenarios , it is just a game/sport. Go into it with that mindset and have fun. So I have the Omega version(now discontinued) of the P-01 with the decocker installed. Dawson fiber optic front and a EZD blacked out rear(sold by Cajun Gun Works). Multiple replacement springs from Cajun Gun Works. 13 pound hammer spring, lite firing pin plunger spring, reduced power trigger return spring, red sear spring and their firing pin spring. Replaced the OEM firing pin retaining pin with one from CGW as well. Will probably be getting a CGW extended firing pin eventually. I have an 11 pound hammer spring that will occasionally fail to set off hard primers. I have been buying pre-primed brass for reloading and they typically use Argentinian primers which are harder than most others. I thought about changing the trigger for a CGW briefly but then I wouldn’t be able to compete in Stock Service Pistol division in IDPA or Production Division in USPSA with it if I did. As it is setup now it is pretty awesome with the factory trigger in it. With the 11 pound hammer spring it is amazing. Thanks for watching the video and I hope you give IDPA a try!

It was indeed! You should come out to the next one. Best deal going for IDPA matches. 12 stages and a meal for 20bucks.

@@travispowell2471 lol yeah I am working on it. You should hear what I edited out to “clean” it up. Diarrhea of the mouth for sure.

@ Eh. Sometimes a little spicy language helps me tighten up when Im shooting sloppy. Get a little angry at myself and focus up. Good vids. I watch them all.

@ thanks! I appreciate it!

lol, yeah I do tend to talk to myself a lot. I really am trying to quit cussing too but it seems to come out at matches when my stage plans start going off track.

@@NoogaMarc it was a lot of fun. On the second and third stages I sent a round into the black on the hard cover targets. On the fourth and sixth stages I managed to get a failure to engage penalty on each. So I ended up with two penalties and six misses. Pretty humbling.

@@TheStrick67 Factory CZ rear sight and a Dawson Precision front fiber optic. Currently my point of impact is lower than I like it so I will be replacing the rear with a taller one from Dawson soon.

@@ShooterReady489Thanks for the reply I’m going with Dawsons as well I have a set of LPA sights on now but I don’t care for them, looking to replicate what’s on my S2C, a lower front.

@@TonyBShooting Cavern Cove 373 Ambush Trail, Woodville Alabama 35776. It is east of Huntsville.

@@TRR56 They have not had them in stock in a long time. Which is actually not a bad thing as my second comp failed. There was not enough material at the top corners to provide the structural integrity needed. It would be fine if you only fired a couple mags and allowed it to cool before continuing. It failed after five 15 round rapid-fire back to back strings of fire through it. Another option at the same price point would be the Street Comp offered by Suarez International and it is a far more robust design. HumbleMarksman YT channel has a good video about using it in a USPSA match. What I ended up going with is an Agency Arms 417s for the 43x. It is double the cost and I do not think it is double the performance. If you are using an optic I would recommend the SI Street comp. If you are going to just use iron sights the AA 417s is worth considering due to the fact you can mount the front sight on the compensator extending your sight radius. Another option is getting a JTT extended ported barrel. Hope this helps!

@ awesome thanks for the info!

@@ChaohsiangChen Not stock at all. Cajun Gun Works parts- short reach trigger, solid trigger pin, reach reduction kit, lite trigger return spring, lite firing pin plunger spring, 13lb hammer spring, Dawson fiber optic front sight, rear sight is factory but I turned it around to get rid of dots and make it a clean plain black sight picture.

@@southernindianacompetitive9040 This match was so much fun. Great mix of short and fast hoser stages and longer ones with tight fault lines and no-shoots. The camera angle doesn’t do it justice.

@@velolciraptors9461thanks for the question! IDPA targets have three scoring zones in them. -0 scoring zones are comprised of a 3” diameter circle in the center of the head box and an 8” circle in the center of the upper chest area. -1 scoring zones surround the -0 scoring zones. -3 scoring makes up the remainder of the target which makes kind of a “U” shape that would represent the arms and lower abdominal area of the target. IDPA uses time plus scoring. This means, they take the total amount of time it took you to complete the stage and add the total number of points in seconds to come up with your final score. So if I shot a stage in 15 seconds, and I had a hit in the -3 and two hits in the -1 zones, my final time would be 20 seconds. Ideally you want to shoot the stage as fast as possible with the least amount of points. Different penalties have different point values as well that will add seconds to your final score as well. Hope this helped, thanks for watching!!

@@rolfminder I have an OWB holster made for a Springfield Prodigy that fits it well. The holster I’m using in these videos is a modified Bravo Concealment IWB holster made for a Glock 17 so I can use it from the appendix carry position.

@@ACxREAL the 75 Compact with thin grips fits the CCP box and makes weight with quite a bit of wiggle room. Fantastic gun!

@@thinman8621 thank you! That was an incredible tight lean, just seemed like my best option.

@@Heteachethmyhandstowar that ammo just barely makes power factor. Not sure I’m even going to keep this gun or not yet. So, I don’t want to invest anymore money into it at this point tweaking springs, adding sights so on and what not. I’m sure as it gets shot more and more the recoil spring will loosen up some. Definitely a great shooting pistol for sure. Soft on the recoil and accuracy is what one would expect from CZ. After the match I shot a steel popper at 95 yards with it. Good times!

@@Cjordanshooting I can’t keep up with him on his splits. Once he dials in his accuracy and starts really focusing on building subconscious stage plans he is going to dominate. Kid is awesome!

@@ShooterReady489 yea he is!

@@n110wa I don’t stop recording the stage until I have all the scores from all the targets. I go back in during the editing process, trim down clips, figure out which target had which scores and then add the scores one at a time. Editing on this video took me about a hour and a half or so. It’s a lot of extra work but I like the end result.

@@ShooterReady489 yeah I really enjoy the way your videos looked thanks.

I am trying to decide if I want to start competing in SSP or CO next.

@@ShooterReady489if you’re beating the majority of CO shooters in CCP no matter where you go next you’re going to dominate even more! I do think with CO you’ll end up being faster once your eyes catch up to your transitions with a dot!

@@FirstmaninRome lokgrips.com Their grips are expensive compared to amazon G-10 grips but absolutely worth it. I have bought several sets of the amazon G-10 grips(CoolHands and Gunnn Grips) for CZ’s and 1911’s and hands down Lok Grips are much better. Well worth the extra 20-30 bucks. The Cobra grips on this gun are quite a bit more though. I think I paid 135 for mine. Just depends on what you want.

@@FirstmaninRome thanks for the compliment and for watching. I really enjoy shooting different platforms in different divisions. I would probably do a little better if I would just stick with one full sized gun and compete with that. But I’m having a lot of fun bouncing around from platform to platform. Keeps things interesting and competitive shooting matches really can show just how well different guns and gear will or will not work for you. Thanks again!

@@ShooterReady489 well my cz clone sAR b6c doesn't have grip plates anyway it's just polymer, but I like the double action for carry, and really the way it shoots overall, but I would perform best at the range better with the glock, cause of sheer range time, and they are forgiving, need to save up for real cz, I got this clone at the mall for 299 though, I just put some Traction gray grip tape on it, it really feels so much better than my glocks.

@@cubanchurchill the range is located at 2522 Leadmine Valley road SW, Cleveland TN 37311. They hold their IDPA matches on the 3rd Saturday of the month.

@@ShooterReady489 Thank you !!!!!!

@@Gun_Dork Thanks!

@@mattrobinson1803 I will be there as well! I’m shooting Sunday on Squad 4. Say hi if happen to see me there. Currently signed up for CCP but may switch to BUG if I can get classified between now and then. Hope you have a great match

@@ShooterReady489 I’m probably going to get smoked and that’s ok lol. Looking to have fun and gain some experience.

@@Delta-Alpha-Kilo you shot damn well today! Nicely done!

@@Heteachethmyhandstowar thank you sir! It was a lot of fun today. Understand needing a break now and then. Hope to see you at Cleveland!

It was a fun match for sure! Was originally only going to be four stages but since we got through it quickly we able to throw in a couple more.

Thanks!

Aside from the ejector retaining pin issue I caused, I love it. We currently have just under 2000 rounds through it or so. The only real negative things I have to say about the gun are easily fixed. First the grip is slick, which is why I did the silicone carbide modification to the grip module. Second thing I don’t care for is the rear sight. I love that it is a serrated matte black sight but the notch is way too wide. The other Tisas 9mm 1911’s we have utilize a .125” wide front sight and a .115” rear sight notch. The DS uses the same front sight but the rear sight notch is .170” wide. For my eyes, I prefer my rear sight notch to be no wider than .125” with that size front sight. That .170” notch on the factory DS robs some of the accuracy.

Thanks!

Thanks, you shot great as well! That LFA pistol you have ran great too. Thanks for letting me check it out.

They are indeed. I have however identified a potential issue with the 9mm 1911 variants. Both their single and double stack variants. I don’t have access to one of their .45’s or 10mm’s so I cannot speak to those. The issue we have ran into deals with the ejectors. Firstly, they are not undercut enough. Fully inserting the mag causes the feed lips to impact the ejector. The other issue is the ejector retaining pin. They use a 1/16” diameter roll pin. With the constant impact to the underside ejector during mag changes the retaining pin sheared off in both my DS and my son’s single stack. The DS sheared in under 1500 rounds and single stack made it 5000 rounds before failing. The roll pin makes sense in their aluminum frame variants as you want the pin to be a sacrificial piece instead of potentially damaging the softer frame material. I replaced the broken roll pins with solid ones from Wilson Combat (R36) after relieving the underside of the ejectors. This should resolve these issues so time will tell.

@@ShooterReady489 Great info thanks!

​@ShooterReady489 was that with factory mags or aftermarket mags?

@@gleamtarrest6310 Factory magazines and a Checkmate brand(they are who make the factory magazine). This is apparently a very common and known issue with all 2011 style guns when it comes to slide lock reloads. Atlas gunwerks has a video on here explaining it. I was just assuming it was a QA/QC problem of not undercutting the ejector enough but that is not the case after all. Since I replaced the ejector retaining pin I have not had anymore issues. Now that I am aware of the cause I am more mindful of how I preform my reloads at slide-lock.

Yeah, I think due to the rain delay only half the people who signed up were able to make it. It was a fun match. I fully expected to be running through mud puddles the whole day but it actually wasn’t bad at all. Sorry you couldn’t make it!

Yes. Had to undercut the ejector and replaced the sheared ejector retaining pin. The factory retaining pin was a 1/16” roll pin. Replaced with a Wilson Combat oils ejector pin. So far so good.

Yeah…. It happens. On a plus side I’m getting tons of practice clearing malfunctions lol

It was a lot of fun! There is always next month.
