RO killed in accident during match

[124gr9mm 859]

I have a DA/SA Tanfoglio (CZ clone) with a firing pin block.  I presumed (incorrectly) that they were pretty standard on modern DA/SA pistols.

No firing pin block on the CZ's that I'm familiar with.  At least not on the Shadow/Shadow 2.

i've been thinking that, and wondering why the firing pin block would be removed

 

CZ Shadow does not have one - look on CZ's website - on the specs it does not say FPB for the Shadow, TS (Tactical Sport) and AO1-LD.

Ah - these are gamers that want to eke every single ounce out of their trigger pull.

The CZ P-01 does have a FPB

I'm a little late to the party on this one, but this is an absolute tragedy and totally unacceptable behavior on behalf of the shooter, especially if this occurred off the clock.

Mechanical safeties should never be used to compensate for user negligence. 

It is a huge pet peeve of mine when people rush either the load or unload portion of a stage. Nobody has ever won a competition or gunfight because of their incredible re-holstering speeds. What I have seen is people DQ'd for unsafe behavior during these unscored sequences, so stop with the grandstanding.

So everyone, for the love of all things holy, treat your guns with the respect they deserve and conspicuously follow the RO's commands.

Yep, same as when people remove the firing pin block on a 1911 series 80.
