CZ Czechmate 15k Review - Viable in USPSA Open?

I’ve been shooting the CZ Czechmate in USPSA Open for two years now with great success (Master class and most recently 32nd/283 at Open Nationals). Now that I’ve collectively passed 15k rounds I wanted to collect all of my thoughts about the platform, answers to frequent questions, as well as tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way to get them running perfectly, and bring that all together into one comprehensive video that I hope can benefit folks looking into the Czechmate platform or folks already running them wondering how to get the most out of them.

The video starts out with a general background and discussion on the viability of the CZ Czechmate in open before heading into a technical deep dive on likes, changes, dislikes, malfunctions, and finally a discussion on magazine tuning and reliability tuning more generally.

Please give the video a like if you find it useful and subscribe if you’d like to see more of this content and match videos.

If you have any questions that I didn’t answer, please leave a comment and I will answer it if I can!
