I thought I'd start a new thread since my last one got a bit...off track.
A couple of weeks ago I posted a range report about the CZ SP-01
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=193533&highlight=daysleeprx
Basically, the gun was great except an FTE problem. A few people wanted an update after I tried a few things, so here it is.
After posting that thread, I took the advice of several people who responded and ordered an Wolff extra power extractor spring for the gun. I installed it, and the FTEs went away, but a new problem popped up: the gun now had occasional FTFs. I talked to Walt Sherill and also Jim Miossi of Miossi Gun Works (Super nice guy by the way, definitely do not hesitate to get in touch with him if you have any CZ questions). Jim recommended I re-install the extractor spring in case anything got kinked during the initial install, and also recommended either a 16 or 18lb recoil spring as well.
So today I went to the range with the reinstalled Wolff extractor spring and an 18lb Wolff recoil spring in the gun, and took the same assortment of ammo I took the first time out (100 rounds each of WWB 115g FMJ, WWB 115g JHP, and CCI Blazer).
Well, I'm happy to report that all the problems seem to have gone away. I did have ONE stovepipe, but I definitely think that was my fault (Limpwristing...I also shot a few hundred rounds of .45 today too so my arm was pretty fatigued)
Gun shoots great...I really love the soft recoil and exceptional accuracy. In fact, now I've got my eye on a CZ P01.....hmmmmmm
