The Czickness XII: The Usual Suspects.

[churchmouse]

One thing that I need to try is to replace the hammer spring with the factory spring. Three things help to arrest recoil. First, weight of the slide eats up recoil energy and then the recoil spring burns up a lot more recoil energy. Third, the hammer spring helps to slow the recoil too and I've not been taking that into account. I read earlier tonight about someone having an issue with a new CZ in .40 and described it as having "a 50lb trigger". If CZ used a heavy hammer spring to help tame the .40 round, it could explain why I'm having issues with mine now that it has a lighter trigger spring.

It sounds like you are onto something.
Also....did you mark the mags that were in the gun when it was having issues.
You know the drill. Run that mag in another .40 if they are the same and see what it does. If it runs then repeat in the problem child.

Good point CM. I need to get better at mag management. On Saturday, I was running just two mags and when the mag failed in the problem child, I'd pull it and run it in the 40P. The 40P would run them just fine. But, at the end of the range trip, both mags just went back into the range bag with the others. Time to serialize them and record what works and what does not.

Having so many mags for all my guns it is hard for me to start doing any kind of tracking. I do have a sharpie in my gag and have put an X on suspected problem pieces but CZ mags are black and that would not work very well.

You need a silver Sharpie.

Use a China marker/grease pencil. Stays on long enough to be useful but not that hard to remove.

I've used fingernail polish to mark mags for events, but it's hard to be neat and precise with it. Blobs of different colors are about as good as I can get.

I had a heart day yesterday

Had back problems and went to the clinic. Admitted I had some tightness in my chest and was rushed to Methodist for testing. On the plus side, I now know my heart and surrounding arteries and such are perfectly healthy...

Morning CZickos

WTB check your VM

 

[wtburnette]

All good guys, just found out not to mention tightness of the chest when you go to the Doc...

 

[MindfulMan]

As the old saying goes, "better safe than sorry". I'm glad that your heart turned out to be healthy, WT.

WTB.....at our age any suspected issues need to be addressed. You did the right thing and it came out positive.

That's what I kept telling myself. Had I not gone and had issues, it could have been bad. I don't mind erring on the side of caution

My SL-150 bore laser was on the porch today. Just back from calibration.
I have been on the deck in the dim light of dusk sighting in all my optics.
