So I've been crying about CZ's lately and, after shooting 1 mag through a shadow 2, I couldn't help but order one.
Received today.
I'm detail stripping it down and learning about its function and I have some questions for you CZ owners out there.
Feel free to answer 1 or all. Let's talk. I don't get the chance to talk guns in my day to day.
First, I oiled the hell out the rails just now and it feels much smoother. Do these things like oil like 1911's do? Should I load it up every chance I get?
Secondly, I've read about upgrades and I currently understand the upgrade to get is the kit from CGW that runs about $280 or so. However, I barely afforded the firearm so I'm gonna have to start a bit smaller. I understand that I can benefit from some reduced power springs (hammer spring, recoil spring, and maybe a FP spring based on reading). Will probably be shooting straight up cheapo Federal brass ammo for the foreseeable future if that helps. (Haven't had a problem yet with Federal using a G34 with reduced FP springs and trigger spring swaps)
If I were to get a reduced power spring set I'd be happy to hear your recommendations on which springs and which weights? Any kits with just the springs available?
Thirdly, 10x bushing. General consensus is "it helps some guns and not others". That said, this will be a competition piece so should I just go ahead and get it? Even for a marginal gain.
Fourth, I read something about an item that will take the creep out of the trigger in SA. My trigger has very very little creep but I'm a fan of aftermarket and it'll be nice to know I have a set of stock parts available at all times. I think it was a hammer that takes the creep out but not sure if I'm correct about that. Also read about a trigger with adjustable takeup. Any recommendations here?
All this said, I'm sure I will contact the wizard at some point to get some pricing and ideas but I like to know how to tune and upgrade my guns so I'm sure I will mess around myself a bit too.
