Went to Target Masters @ Milpitas yesterday to finish off the rest of the Fed 50 round box from the Level 2 Pistol class plus fired an additional 150 rounds. Total round count now is 2000 rounds fired. Was going to do a little 1000 round malfunction test by not cleaning the gun for at least that many rounds to see if it'll start malfunctioning. However, I wanted to check the internals for wear since I had just used it for the level 2 pistol class. Everything was fine except for the polymer guide rod. Could be the round count or maybe I just didn't allow the gun to cool down enough after the rapid fire session at the end of the class but the guide rod had warped/bent a bit upon inspection. Not too bad it seems as I used it last night at Target Masters without a problem. However, I did order two more spares from CZ USA plus a 15 lbs Wolf Mainspring from Wolf Springs to ease up the weight of the DA trigger pulls.

Total Round Count..2000 rounds.

Fighting Pistol Level 2

Took the level 2 Fighting Piston class today at Morgan Hill with the guys at Tactical Training Associates. Class, of course, was much different from the level 1 class in that movement and positional shooting is now incorporated. First part of the class was some lecturing on the basic rules of firearms along with a little overview of what we were going to do later in the day. Movements done were forward, back, and lateral movement while shooting. Positional shooting was done from standing, to knees, and, finally, prone. Shot strings ranged from a single round to 3 rounds. I expended 314 rounds total without any failures at all. That brings the running total of rounds fired in the CZ P-01 to 1714.
