I'd rather start out too tight than loose. It's gonna be sweet when it's broken in.

I agree with you 1000%, thanks.

I went back to the range today with the S2O. Ran 200rds of Speer lawman 124gr and 100 Magtech 115gr. Every round fired and cycled perfectly. That's over 500rds in a row that cycled just fine. I think it's almost broken in now... :).  A couple of targets from today, left at 15yds fairly rapid fire and right at 10yds slow fire.   Thanks again guys for your earlier comments.

I forgot to mention that tiny bit of creep is now gone.

Thanks, yeah I do.  I'll probably be back to the range tomorrow or Thursday and run another 300.  Then It will get a good cleaning and wait in the safe for the next rotation.  I just got notice late today that my 4th MCARBO trigger/spring kit (on back order since November) finally shipped today, so that will be my next CZ75 range time... :).

Another trip to the range today and ran 300rds of 115gr Magtech. No problems, every round fired and cycled just fine... :).  That's 800 consecutive rounds that cycled and fired perfectly. Now it gets a good cleaning, and it will sit for a couple of months waiting for the next rotation.

In closing, I have to say this is the finest handgun I ever fired.  I'm falling back into that pulling left again, oh well, I'll move the rear sight a bit.  One of today's targets from 10yds:

Methinks a combination of a very tight new pistol combined with CZ’s tendency to cosmoline the heck out of their pistols may have been the issue.  Glad it’s working now.   CZ’s are tough to beat👍
