Looking to start in USPSA, have some questions
bkoenig:
Well, the real reason I got rid of the decocker model is because it was the SP01 Phantom, which is the polymer version. I really liked the gun and it was the most accurate pistol I've ever owned, but it wouldn't drop mags free. Apparently that's normal with the Phantoms and there's not much you can do about it. What I would REALLY like is a regular steel framed SP01 Shadow, but they're about impossible to find right now unless you're willing to pay 150% of new price for a used one.
That, and my every day carry gun is a SA/DA 75 Compact, so I like the idea of competing with the same gun I carry (although with a slightly longer grip and barrel). The Compact was originally my wife's, but she had a hard time racking the slide on it. I liked the gun so much I kept it for myself and bought her a Hi Power.

HEY! Some of us can't see as well as YOU CAN! :) We NEED the dot!

I completely understand that! I just spent the last 3 hours sorting brass for those unobtainum bullets! Luckily, I have someone ELSE load them, so I don't have to harvest those unicorn tears myself. ;)

Ok, time to post up some pistol porn.
Stripped it all down tonight, did some light work on the sear and hammer to clean them up a little, installed a lighter mainspring, extended firing pin, and lightened firing pin spring, detail cleaned it, and stuck on a new set of grips.
The trigger is pretty nice now. It "cams" the hammer just a little in single action and there's a tiny amount of creep, but it's much smoother than from the factory. Double action is WAY lighter. Next up will be some better sights, but for now hopefully it shoots as nice as it looks. It sure is purdy.

Hmmm...production division has a maximum size.
--- Quote from: USPSA Handgun Competition Rules January 2008, Page 77 ---...handgun with empty magazine inserted must fit wholly within a box with internal dimensions of 8 15/16” x 6” x 1 5/8” (toler- ance +1/16”, -0”) (8.938”x6”x1.625”) (227.01mmx152.40mmx41.28mm)

Not sure if your extended magazine will make the gun too big? Though I'm not too familiar with the CZ line. The rule is odd considering the fact that you can only have 10 rounds in each magazine at the start signal for production division.
I'm sure jthhapkido will be along any second to explain. 3...2...1...
