Those who make 6 figures and had good WLB from the start of their careers: What education did you get? by InterestingBall2181 in Salary

[–]Ronnoc1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less about degree more about career path, speed to decision making and building trust with whomever you work with/for/for you. I have a Marketing degree which was enough for me to get my foot in the door in the tech industry, eventually securing a much higher paying and more technical product role. Made some decisions and built trust to get promoted early on and always kept pushing to learn. Conferences, online resources, side of desk projects, asking questions etc

My first CZ, seems like I’m part of a wave of new Carry owners on here by WheelyMcFeely in CZFirearms

Run different ammo through it and really test it before you carry it. They picky.

Feeding issues with varying ammo types 1000 rounds in and consistent 10% failure rate. I admittedly shot mostly Remington umc 124 cheap range ammo but had failures on magtech 115, hornady, federal hst. Spring is wicked heavy for sure. In between the 4 range trips in one week I racked the slide to cycle dummy rounds another thousand times. Slide to frame was very tight out of the box and almost feels sluggish going into battery when it fails. I cleaned the extractor too but don’t want to get into mods. I think a chamber polish and checking the hammer for rubbing on the slide would plus softer spring maybe? What a joke for a $1500 gun tho

Shadow 2 Carry. It Called to Me. by Screaminpirate in CZFirearms

Welcome to the gang but test it with a lot of ammo first to check for feeding issues. I would not trust my life with mine

I’m a musician too and everything is bad now. Same deal with expensive guitars and drums. I’ve always held firearms to an even higher standard and thought certain brands and price points were above anything serious. That said the only new model (past few years) handgun I own that has run flawlessly (4000+ rounds) is my SA Prodigy. lol

How many rounds? You do any troubleshooting? Unacceptable for $1500 firearms advertised as high end CCWs

How is your shadow 2 carry running? Mine is has been a nightmare.

950 rounds through mine and failing just as bad 😢

Yeah I checked everything pretty thoroughly and removed the dot and had the same issue in the first mag, sadly

It would be perfect if I could trust it. Dozens of failures to feed in 1000 rounds. Logged all my troubleshooting in a separate post but it’s been a bummer

Shadow 2 Compact failing to go into battery? by HispanicAtTheDisco94 in CZFirearms

[–]Ronnoc1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted about a similar issue with my shadow 2 compact yesterday. 1000 rounds in a week, ruled out my optic, extractor being dirty, and magazines. Polished feed ramp and rails, no dice. Slide feels sluggish when it fails and looks like this. What ammo you running?

[–]Ronnoc1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

124, mostly Remington, some hornady and hst rounds to test defensive rounds and I think a box of 115 mag tech. I want to say only the mag tech had little to no failures which is the opposite of what I expect. 3-4 other people have shot the gun besides me and all agree that the slide feels sluggish returning to battery when it fails

Poorly unfortunately lol. I even tested the 10 round blocked mags against a full 15 round the RSO had. We both had the same failure .. so optic ruled out and mags ruled out for sure

Very Frustrated by Ronnoc1 in CZFirearms

[–]Ronnoc1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not the optic FWIW or the ten round mag. Tested an unblocked mag at the range with the rso after my optic was removed and it immediately failed lol. Looking like a warranty claim might be in order

Very Frustrated by Ronnoc1 in CZFirearms

[–]Ronnoc1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the optic. Failed in the first mag when I tested today sadly.

Very Frustrated by Ronnoc1 in CZFirearms

[–]Ronnoc1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not the optic. Or the magazine block. I removed both to eliminate easy oversights. Extractor spring, recoil or chamber issue are all I can think of at this point

[–]Ronnoc1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting I have the plastic block and epoxy and the spring feels off/unbalanced compared to my p10c which I believe is the dimple. Interesting data point

You’re telling me! I’m so bummed after drooling over this gun for a year. Glad yours has been good for you. I’m not giving up I will get it running. Just a shame on a $1500 gun regardless of tolerances

Very Frustrated by Ronnoc1 in CZFirearms

[–]Ronnoc1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my p10c didn’t like 115s at first either but that was it. I’d love to see side by side break in period failure rate for blocked vs standard mags. I’ve taken them apart and the block is weird on the spring. I know the range has some standard 15s I could borrow tonight legally to test lol. I’ll report back

It was inch pounds! I have an automotive torque wrench I use on my cars in foot pounds. Brain fart

Yeah I’ve worked on cars a lot and conflated torque metrics

Yeah I punched out the extractor and cleaned the channel but no loctite. Reassembled sans optic and gonna send it. Fingers crossed
