A projects snowball effect....

[Earl Keese]

I very much prefer the round guard over the serrated. I rounded a transitional a while back. I was debating whether or not to try it because they tend to have voids in that area. Then I made a mistake while de-plating it and caused some pitting there so the decision was made for me. A little work with the bench grinder/dremel and a lot with a file - slowly. I took quite a few breaks whenever I got nervous, so I can imagine the anxiety working on a stainless frame. The result is certainly worth it though.

This is just stunning!
Wow.
I would have thought, a bit more snowball, CZC ghost hammer modified to fit the narrower slide opening, and a CZ Combat trigger (SS), or maybe SAO only (I am SAO biased).

Purposely stayed with the factory stainless hammer mainly to keep it the original look......the trigger, well this one is fully adjustable and the profile is the flattest, which I prefer......as far as SAO, main reason I stumbled onto CZ years ago was the DA/SA....just not me, though I get why folks do like that setUp

I just realized that you changed trigger from black colored to SS, well that does look better to my eyes now.
Yes, SA/DA has a huge following.
Just cant admire this enough, great work!

Some of the pics were pre-Black nitride trigger......the “final” (and I use this term loosely) version does have the black trigger....shocking to some CZ fans out there I gather   Thanks for appreciating something a little different, and still recognizable as a CZ....hasn’t gone too far off the rails.....at least yet

Nice job on the trigger guard. I had contemplated doing that on a polished. Never got around to it.

Thanks......not really anything more I feel the need/desire to do to it, a good friend of mine is trying to talk me out of it.....might probably happen some day, but not today

Don't sell guns. There have been only a handful I have thought in hindsight that it was the right idea.

The rest are woeful regrets in my life. I even tracked one down 5 years after selling it only to be told by the newest owner that they love the gun and would only part with it for a significant amount of money.

It's like trying to win a girlfriend back.

It's just sad.

Thanks for sharing this. A real pleasure to see. I know the bible says “Thou shalt not covet” but I’m coveting now. Hard. [emoji51][emoji1303]

Nice job !
I did the trigger guard on a carbon steel 75 and did run into the void in the casting. I wonder if with the SS frame that is less of a concern? I know another member of this forum had replied to one of my posts re: that job that he had also run into the void, I think he had done more than one also. Anyway.....
Very nice, unique piece !

I've hit the void on both plain steel frames that I've done. Made me weary of trying it on the stainless.

Yeah I hear ya. It was probably you that posted in my thread about mine. I’m pretty sure you said yours was in the same place that mine was. That was my first TIG welding job on a handgun. Was a bit nerve racking but the end result was worth it. I wish CZ would make more handguns with the rounded trigger guard. My Cold War Commemorative has the rounded guard, I can’t think of any others that I own that do.

Thought this thread was gone and forgotten about      Was a really fun project overall.......thanks for the comments!
