I am a little disappointed to be honest as the CZ was billed as a shoot anything gun, yet yesterday I had several malfunctions in the space of one competition. In fact, these were my first ever.
I cleared the gun in the heat of a stage so I was focussed more on getting back on target, but from what I remember, there was one FTF and several misfeeds.
I don't remember it being in a particular mag, but two happened in a 16rd Mec Gar but I use these least as they are harder to grab and load than the longer 18r'ders.
I cleared the FTF by racking the slide but the misfeed required dropping the mag, clearing it and reloading a fresh one.
Things of note:
I had already used some of the same ammo at another comp and they'd fired fine.
I spoke to one of the RO's and she observed that S&B is a little cool as a loading and perhaps that, and the cold, meant the gun didn't cycle very well.
Suggested remedies were: clean the gun, consider new ammo, consider a lighter recoil spring.
Needless to say, I'd like to continue having the 100% faith in my CZ and the concentration of events in this one comp makes me think it is a factor, but who knows when you need to shoot, right?
Thoughts?

Things of note:
- New batch of ammo: Sellier and Bellot 124gr
- A cold bunker.
- Gun was a bit dirty
