DA/SA Range trip and new P01 Break in

[Claymore504]

I hit up the local range yesterday morning and took mainly DA/SA handguns. The line up was Beretta 92A1 (new), CZ P01 Omega (new), CZ P09 and threw in the Sig P320 TacOps as well. Main purpose was to break in the new P01 Omega UG SR and the Beratta 92A1.

The 92A1 ran great. I installed a D spring, Elite hammer and WC short reach trigger. I am not sure what it is on this Beretta, but with those minor mods this trigger is amazing. I did have several failures to feed, but they were caused by a new Beretta 20 round mag.

The CZ P09 UG SR was the most enjoyable to shoot. I have about 500 rounds through it now. Only mods are CGW yellow hammer spring, extended firing pin, RP TRS and some light polishing. I did the same mods on my P07 and this P09 trigger came out much better. I had 4 malfunctions with the P09 though. One failer to extract on the last round and 3 failures to fire. Primer had good marks after first attempt and all fired on second try. This may be ammo as I was using S&B and I really have not used this brand of ammo in years.

Then there was the P01 Omega UG SR. I was excited to get this one to the range. I must say the DA pull on this is insane heavy! It will be getting the same mods as my P09 and P07. Anyways, first mag and I was ready to put it away. It stings my trigger finger with every DA shot! I am not sure why. The P07 and P09 do not do this at all. When I got home I dry fired it some and work ed with finger placement. I think what happens is the DA pull is so heavy that my trigger finger moves down to the very end of the trigger, ehich as a little flared as yall know, and that is what causes the sting. I think with lightening up this trigger it will be solved. For now though it is headed back to CZ due to a dead front night sight.

New Beretta 92s are stupid cheap right now, and I need to get one.  Look at gun.deals for some sub-$500 options. 

Those of us who are VZ58 enthusiasts, the Beretta 92's locking block performs similarly...

     Hiya claymore and thanks for the thread. FYI I like pictures. I hear ya about the new omega DA weight as well, my first one had a trigger that was wide like the combat 85 it hurt more than my 2017 thats less than half its width. It went to CZC for short reset,hammer,and polishing and totally fine now. Altho only a small fraction of practice with DA pulls and use a glove at the range. So have stopped shooting from the heat increase of the trigger. Sorry only got one mag of shooting with the issue. On to the po-9, four stoppages ,I can see in 10,000 rounds not one outing,and on a tuned up gun. Isn't the yellow main/hammer of theirs 18lb ish? and run with the extended firing pin are ya aware if the firing spring is the 97041 ,its intended pairing? I thought that the main spring would arrive with that firing spring when purchased. And once I learned cz uses the S&B, I'd buy cases when I found it priced closer to my norm of federal from wallmart. Hope to see a pain free,stoppage free day at the range in your future. Be well.
