TSO has finally arrived

[eastman]

TacSports and Czechmates use different magazines than the standard CZ 75 pistols (more expensive)

The floorplate is differently shaped on the TSO, so it may not be able to use the regular TS magazines (which are about $30 cheaper). I don't have a TSO, so I can't confirm that. Anyone one with both a TS and a TSO should jump in here.

Good morning George. I?m new to the CZ pistol having only a 75b sao for about 3 months. I have 7 Dan Wesson 1911s and the 715 revolver. I like them all for different reasons. I?m writing you because I just purchased a tac orange in 9mm. It should be here later this week. Would you please share with me any knowledge you have regarding break in period or anything else you may think would be helpful. Also have you attempted to purchase additional mags. Not quite sure about what exactly the model for the mag is. I?ve seen some costing 70 dollars. Can we use others for less money. I thank you in advance for helping a CZ newbie. Respectfully Fred

Fred, congrats on your new TSO. With regards to break-in, I shot about 400-500 rounds of factory federal 115 Gr ammo. I didn?t experience any problems shooting with the factory or nds with everything stock in the Pistol. All I did was did a tear down, clean up and re-oil the TSO prior to shooting it.

After the factory rounds, I removed the stock 16# recoil spring and installed a 10# spring to suit my reloads. No problems with it as well.

As for the mags, you don?t have any other choice other than the TSO and czechmate mags. I bought additional mags but it came with the czechmate 😂. The mags you need will be the CZmags for the czechmate and TSO. I have not seen or known any cheaper alternative. Greg Cote has the best prices when it comes to these mags.

Thank you very much for your insights. I sure you are correct in that I?m locked in to the mags made for the TS. This could get expensive. Lol. Thanks again respectfully Fred

Thanks George. You have confirmed what i understood to be the plan for the break in period. I?m a strong believer in FP 10 for lube. Been using ballistol on almost all my 1911s with the exception of the DW duty treat guns. I don?t load my own ammo and have had luck with Federal, Sellier and Bellot , Geco , and the Georgia Arms reloads. For the most part I prefer the 124 grain but have no problems with the 115. Guess I should have realized the cost of the mags. Still cheaper than some 2011 mags. Thanks for the name of the mag store. Looks great except out of stock on the ones we need. Again thanks for your help . May I contact you again when I have a chance to prepare the gun and shoot it ? Hopefully all goes well . Thanks again

Your welcome.

By the way, the 115s were only used for the break in. For my reloads, I exclusive use PD 124 Gr JHP since I also use the same reloads for my PCC to prevent lead build up in the comp. Other bullets I have used includes RMR TCFP, RNFP and JHP with Sport Pistol and Winchester 231.

going to shoot today. Will report back later.

Looks beautiful!

Report back when you?re done shooting.

Took it down yesterday. Was impressed with the attention to detail both in and out . Have been using custom 1911s for some time now and was lured into CZ after a good deal on a 75 B sao. This tac looks like a whole new ball game. I certainly will let you know what I think after today. My plan is for what they shot at the factory. 115 grain Sellier and Beloit. Maybe some 124 Federal.

It?ll shoot better with 124 Gr ammo. That I can assure you  .

Thanks for the heads up. Funny thing I just ordered 1k of the 115. Lol

In my experience, there?s no muzzle dip with the 124 Gr. Granted those are my reloads compared to the factory Federal 115 Gr I used to break it in.

Nonetheless, the gun is heavy enough to negate any violent recoil or excessive muzzle dip as long as you do your part in gripping it hard.

Have fun!

George. The pistol ran without a flaw. My shooting accuracy is another story. I never got a comfortable purchase on the gun. The mag release was making my palm sore after 20 rounds. As much as I wanted to use the gas pedal it seemed to be in the way so to speak. So back we go tomorrow outdoors for round 2. I?m not going down in the first round ever. Lol

See if you can change the orientation of the mag release pad so it doesn?t get in the way. Also, if you?re not worried about the slide locking back after the last round, you can use the pin instead of the slide stop.

I use my TSO in Competition so I installed the pin and got rid of the slide stop since it was getting in the way of my grip.

Keep on shootin?  .

I dabble in limited minor but concentrating on PCC now since my old eyes can barely see the iron sights. It?s not fun to be looking at blurry things 😂.
