Let me know the ammo specs, I would be happy to run some.

It's all good. Since 9 major is a little particular, I will just bring some extra.

Enjoy! I really did love mine and it ran like a top, in-fact it is still running for Feegee..
My club took team gold at our 2gun open division nationals this year, despite me having to shoot a limited division pistol. I have pretty much equal dominant eyes, and I'm near sighted on my right eye and far sighted on my left, which doesn't work very well with iron sights......next year we're going to be unbeatable

I love my CZ! it never let me down. Only when I did stupid elephant dung.

Looks great!
Very pleasant to shoot, not as brutal as a few 38 super guns I've tried, that seem to shake all over the place. I'm getting a bit of dip, so might experiment with weaker recoil springs, but will wait until I've shoot some more rounds and bough some recoil buffers. Quite often you end up getting used to the gun after a few rounds and your grip and recoil timing adjusts to the "movement" of the gun.........or something like that :scratchhead:

How do the Czechmates hold up to 9mm major in USPSA, from what I have read they are great guns but not built for the higher USPSA power factor for Major vs IPSC?

Buy a lot of slide stops
CZ was kind enough to include a slide stop in the package, other than that the tip I have is to use recoil buffers and keep pf to around 165. If you do that the gun runs a few thousand rounds before the slide stop breaks.
I chronoed my czechmate last monday I found that I was shooting 178,8pf.
brought the load down from 8,4grs to 8,2grs 3n38.
Shot the open nationals this weekend and was chronoed at 173,4. So the reduction is powder didn't have a very significant effect.
Strange thing is that a buddy of mine have been loading 9 major for 3 other guys shooting czechmates that was bought at almost the same time as mine. same load, same Frontier 124grs bullet, same primers. But 8.0grs 3n38. Those three guns where chronoed between 160,003 and 163.
The guy who chronoed 160,003 is probably the luckiest open shooter I have heard of.

New info in, the 160,003 was apparently a bad read....shooting low in the chrono or something. the 8.0grs load chronoed at 163 on the first day, when it was basically snowing at the start of the day and was cold, and the same load chronoed at 167 the day after where it was warmer. and on that same day I chronoed 8,2grs load at 173. So that makes it a bit more logical.
Did anyone here experiment with different recoil springs btw?
The dot on my gun is dipping below the targets even at close range, so I'm scared to shoot too fast and shoot below the target on the second shot (which have happened on a couple occasions) This obviously hurts my split times, and overall speed a lot. At the open nationals this weekend I was shooting in general 20% slower than the top guys at GM level because I have to wait for the dot to go down, and then come up on the target again.

I used a 9 and 10 spring.
I have some load data if you want
