I just went to the range again with my 'less than a month old" OD Green baby. I installed the CGW extended firing pin and 18# main spring after polishing the trigger bar, safety block and other internals. It's a hell of a pistol and a pleasure to shoot. I have big hands and the P07 fits nicely in my mitts.
I'm very happy with my purchase and look forward to adding another CZ in the future.
Pertty much what I did, except I also installed a reduced power trigger return spring, and, instead of polishing any internals, I let the pistol do that itself via lots of rounds down range..One other thing I did, and this is purely optional, was to have the barrel black nitrided.. for some reason, CZ insists on using a finishing chamber reamer as one of the last steps in finishing the barrel, and, they leave the chamber in the white
I'm not familiar with that term "in the white". Can you explain further?
Price, I've seen these for sale both online, and in LGS's for under $500, quite often, that's a baragin..
I got my OD Green for $520 out the door.
The term " in the white" means the metal is left with no finish..no bluing, black oxide, etc nothing.. in this case, CZ finish chambers the barrel using a reamer, probably a small amount of metal is removed, and it is left with no protective finish on it. IMO, a bad idea for a carry gun ..Note that Glock, HK, even S&W Black nitrides their barrels AFTER all the machining operations are done, Black nitride goes by several different names, but basically, it's the same process..HK, calls it their "Hostile Enviroment" finish, S&W calls it "Melonite" and Glock has used "Tennifer" while not rust proof it is however very,very rust resistant, and not a bad idea
www.blacknitride.com these folks have done some CZ pistol barrels for me, as well as a entire pistol, my "SP01 compact" I had the frame, slide, barrel, saftey levers, done..it turned out great..
