I had two questions that I hope someone can answer for me.
I received my CZ-82 the other day, and I took it to the range for the first time today. After three rounds were fired, I thought I was having a feeding problem, I couldn't pull the trigger. I released the mag, ejected the round (which was seated properly, I saw) and looked at it.
I couldn't see anything wrong. So I reloaded a prepped mag, and chambered a round. After two more shots, the same thing. I looked closely, and saw the safety lever had moved up an incremental amount. I'm not sure if it is being bumped by my hand from the recoil, or if it's just a bit loose.
I found, that I needed to hold the safety lever down with my trigger-side thumb, to be sure it won't creep up. I'm kind of okay with this right now, but if I ever wanted to carry it, I would want to be sure this wouldn't happen. Is there something I can do to tighten up the lever, or do I need to take it to a gunsmith?
My other question, is that my shots were grouping a bit low when I was using the sights, but if I drew and intuitively pointed the pistol, then I was at least hitting black, and mostly in the 9-10 ring at 15 feet or so. I'm new to pistol shooting, so I'm more than willing to take the blame (incorrect sight alignment maybe...). Any thoughts? I'm using the Wolf 9mm Mak (not the highest quality). And I have the Winchester stuff for if I decided to carry it, after I build some confidence and skill.
Thanks all!
