also by the rules..the gun has to meet production requirments of 500 units in 1 year. so modifying an SP01 to shoot .40 would no be sufficient for USPSA.
at the minimum..if you take and existing SP01, you would need to alter your breechface, replace the barrel and respring the gun..no telling if the slide as is has enough mass to handle the .40. The 75bSA and the 75b in .40 do have heavier slides...

Can the current SP-01s be modified from 9mm to .40 cal? Has anybody tried this yet? If so, what does it entail exactly?
Well, I can tell you that the SP-01 will not mate with the slide from the CZ 75B in .40 caliber.

A standard .40 barrel would have the wrong headspace and the extractor might not work. Slide top would have to be upgraded, to -- and I don't know which one it would take.
You'd need an entire top end -- and the budget price would start to go up, then.
You could probably upgrade a 75B or 75B SA in .40 less expensively and have roughly the same gun.

when i read the forum i got ecsited i even sindup to the forum
becouse i have a CZ 75 tactical or ps-01 in 40 cal and it is very effective
it hasa long exturnal barrel ,length of 4.7 inches about an inch longer then the gun it self its made by Izhmash
There is a heavy steel cover or housing that goes over the extention of the berral witch clips on the CZ75 tactical raill this provents the gun from kicking up at burst.
this heavy berral housing has a tactical rail mount on the botom witch goes from the front to the trigergard .
This rail mount is for a 5000000 lumanence strobe light with is so bright you see a green goast in your vition for weeks affter using it not for a laser or flashlight, the berral sticks out only 15mm to exoppse the berral threding for suppresor.
sorry for the spelling
i love this gun becouse its a lifesaver
my favoret pistol ever is the CZ 40 cal
and that is the negative side of the gun ... most guys use 9mm not 40 cal or 10mm so you have to be preperd 100% but you never know how mutch ammo you may need, when you need it most ...
this is how u feel
trust me its not were you want to be so you better not get stuck up bleepsCreek without a pattel
(i find this saying very funny)
most use old school 9mm LUGER becouse it is evrywere and in some plasses people have to spetial order 40 cal
and chensses are rear that a lost 40cal pistol without ammo whold be useful to them (these people....)
thoe u can still use 9mm in a 40cal (and most will becouse of ignorence ) but it will not be efective unlles it is at close range
(and you will also damage the suppresor after about 1 magazene making it usseles )
thats also why Spetsnaz and u.s. ops use the 40cal
but for most gun ouners expetioly in the us 40 cal s&w is a wonderful choice
see usa = 40cal. S&W
most use metric 9mm LUGER
i hope u know what im geting at here ...
Call Izhmash about the berrals
most people in russia know 2 languges
its mandatory by the schools in russia to lern franch gurman english or other. about 25% will speak poor english just ask for long cz75 berral or se/ze 75 dulla in russian
injoy the 40 if you can u can
CZ75 TACTICAL 40CAL
BIZON SUBMACHINE GUN
SVD U 05
ARE OVERALL THE GRAITEST WEAPONS ON EARTH
I hope all this info was benifitual to you in some way
it was like therepy for me

About the SP-01 not taking .40 uppers, I have made the swap a few times. It works, at least one the ones I have.
I've got both of them to clean today, so I'll give it another try. When I wrote the above, I'd just tried the swap, but didn't want to force anything. I'll post my second attempt results later tonight.

It's funny that they keep calling that gun the "compact" in that article. Sure looks like a P-01 to me with that full-length dustcover! Also, at this time, the CZ-USA website lists neither the 75 compact nor the P-01 as being available in .40cal, only 9mm.

Please let us know of your results with the swap.
Matt,
What kind of results did you get with your SP-01 .40 swap? Were they satisfactory? Do you or Angus know if an SP-01 .40cal is in the pipeline at CZ? Or would you have to kill us all if ya told us?

No joy. The .40 slide will not mate with the SP-01 frame. Neither will my 75B 9mm slide. If i get a couple of free minutes over the weekend, I'll investigate further.

today I was in CZUB in Uhersky Brod and spoke with Mr. Trkulja (Manager of CZUB).
We disccused about SP01 in .40 SW and I have not any sure information when they will produce SP01 in this caliber, but all indicate that YES.
When you take slide from CZ75B in .40SW and put it with SP01 frame you can test it.
Mr. Trkulja did it and he feels that the going is more better than at CZ75TS in .40SW.
So you can help to produce when you will write aks e-mail to CZ USA with question: "Will you produce SP01 in 40SW". More questions can help to start to produce...I think.

Only problem is you have to buy two guns
Post by: lukipsc on April 13, 2006, 12:57:18 AM
For IPSC Standard good capacity
He has not buy second gun, only slide and barrell. I am not sure how it is with your legislativy but in Czechs law about guns and ammo it is possible.

Hopefully, the .40 will come out in a customized model with all the fixin's, like the Shadow. I'll be in line for two, once the design mods have been tweaked.
The only specs I could suggest for a new .40 SP-01 are a slightly shortened dust cover like the 75 Combat II, standard tritium sights, lower paddle thumb safety levers like the 75 SA and TS, and a firing pin stop without firing pin safety like the 85 Combat. Then it would be purrrfect.
