Do You Like Your Tristar C-100?

[oreocat]

My C-100 40 S&W has a very nice smooth trigger with no grit. Single action is very nice. It has as good a trigger as any pistol I have. It is a very well made gun.
I had it out this morning for 100 rounds, I shoot tighter groups with through C-100 than any other gun I have.
Well worth the money.

I have a Canik 55 got it 3 months ago and it has become my CCW since, small, packs 15rds, reliable..

Hopefully soon I will have one on the way.
Bought a Stingray a couple months ago, loved it but was enticed by the light weight of the C100, bleep you Paul. Ha,ha!
Sold the Stingray today.

The single action breaks at 4 pounds, 14 oz.  I'm not sure what the double action breaks at since my trigger scale only goes to 8 pounds

We will have to do some measurements here soon Paul.
I have a new trigger scale for up to 12lbs. coming. Maybe that will be enough.
I figure if I am going to keep working on these things might as well be able to measure the results.
I am still going to do a detailed report on CGW parts install in the near future.

OMG  You sold your Stingray? Was it a compact model? I hear they're one of the best shooting clones out there.

It is, but I already own several CZ's and this was meant as a everyday carry gun for me.
Although slightly more compact than my CZ75B SA, 3/4" one dimension and 1/2" in the other it still weighs about the same as my full size.
The reality that I faced is that after carrying it regularly, that I sought the lighter weight that I have in the RAMI with a slightly larger frame size.
I think that ultimately the C100 will serve this purpose better for me than the Stingray.
I will miss the Stingray but look forward to the creation of a wonderful gun in the form of a custom built C-100.
I will follow the map that I already set out with the Stingray but will continue this path with the lighter C-100.
These include a full CGW makeover at my hands, and a set of CZ Custom tritium combat sights.
Not the cheapest C-100 but it will be one h*ll of a gun.

I will update everyone with the full proceedings when all the cards are in play.
I hope to do a full photographic review of the process and a cost analysis of everything done for everyone's benefit.

The Stingray has some advantages in the form of more mass for more stable shots, and a light rail which I will miss.
But this will the best path for what I want to accomplish.

I understand. Sounds like nice plans with the C-100. Keep us informed as to how things come along.

I like my C100 every bit as much as my cZ Compacts

[RogerCZ75Bfan]

I sure like mine.  I have a low round count, but it has never missed a beat with factory ball and lead reloads.  It's pretty accurate too.  When I do my part I can shoot a 1"-1.5" group at 7 yards.  I put a CGW spring kit in it.  The single action breaks at 4 pounds, 14 oz.  I'm not sure what the double action breaks at since my trigger scale only goes to 8 pounds.  The had a bit of creep and take up in the SA trigger pull, but the more rounds I put through it the better it feels.  The trigger pull is as good or better than any CZ I have ever owed.  I use the pistol as my CCW carry gun and really love it, especially due to its light weight (23.5 oz. without a mag in the pistol).

Thanks, Paul

The Tristar website says the C100 weighs 1.53 lbs. If I do my math conversion correctly, that's just 21 oz. Right? Or are the numbers to the right of the decimal point "tenths of a pound''?
If not, the C-100 is as light as a Glock 19?   Seriously?

[RogerCZ75Bfan]

Does the C100 have a smooth backstrap with no texturing at all?

Smooth no texture

1.53 pounds = 24.48 oz.

.1 pounds = 1.6 oz.

Again, I weighed mine with a mag out of the pistol it came up to 23.5 oz.

Thanks for clarifying that. Guess I need a math refresher.
Thanks clever username. Although, a smooth backstrap is the only think that doesn't give me that tingly feeling about this pistol.
