I just got a Czechmate a couple weeks ago. Shoots like a dream. Picky with off the shelf ammo with the compensator attached. You can get them for less than $2,400 now.

Hi GoodPizza! Great name!!! But is there such thing as bad pizza??? LOL. I do not believe it's the comp giving you trouble. Try changing your recoil spring for a lighter one. That will help with running factory ammo. You may have to try a couple of different spring weights to make sure the gun cycles reliably. Be sure to test fire ONE ROUND AT A TIME to avoid any problems. I reduced the spring weight in my STI DVC Open gun from 12lbs to 5lbs. I may bump it up to a 7 or 8 pound spring. With the factory spring I could only run major ammo. The 5lb spring runs off the shelf ammo with no problem. Check out Wolff Gunsprings (www.gunsprings.com/CZ/75%20Series/cID1/mID16/dID91#834) or Dillon Precision (www.dillonprecision.com/s000204). They will likely have recoil springs for your Czechmate. About $8. I hope this helps. Terry

PS. Im not an expert on CZ. They make fantastic firearms for sure. Double Czech (ha ha) that the springs for the 75 are the same for your Czechmate before purchasing. You can call either company and they will lent you know which spring fits your gun. Good luck, Terry

Thank you, TGT! This is a good video with lots of new information for me. I am going to try to step up my game this year and transition from being just a casual, non serious rimfire and 9mm shooter (besides my .40, .45's and 10mm), with my Girsan MC9 Match and my Taurus TX22 Competition, and start planning out my first REAL race gun, in which I have no knowledge and am just learning about. Your videos are very helpful to me... and fun to watch, too.

[@TwoGunTerry]

Thanks for watching Tone Seeker! Much appreciated!! It's awesome that you are ready to step up your game. You did it the right way. Start out easy (and less expensive) and if you think this sport is for you, the right equipment definitely makes a difference. I love the rimfire division. They are fast, low recoil, and less expensive ammo. That said, I really enjoy drawing from a holster in the centerfire divisions. There's just something about it. Good luck to you, Terry
