How does she shoot?  Have a S2 being fitted with a TS 40 slide and a 357 Sig barrel. Work is being done by CZ Custom.  Have plenty of guns to shoot, but I really miss the S2.  Have very high expectations on this one.

It shoots accurate and flat. I can put a group of 10 rounds in the size of a fist on a USPSA target at 25 yards shooting with about 2 second splits between shots. I think the 357SIG is inherently more accurate than the 40 S&W (which is the other barrel for it) but they are pretty close. The trigger/action components have all been polished/coated as well as factor springs replaced with lower return spring, 13lb main spring, etc so the trigger pull is fairly good. I had CZ custom rechamber the 9mm barrel and then I had to machine off the bottom lug and do final fitting. It has a CZ custom 10x bushing which probably has more to do with the groups than anything. I think I might have to change up the factory 40S&W recoil spring as it launches brass (both with higher pressure loads and practice loads). Other than that, it's about perfect for my use and will continue use as my "bed stand" gun. One last plug.... I really like the CZ Custom gold outline tritium sight for defense purposes. I find it great for picking up in the daytime.

huskerlrrp,

Agree with you on the 357 Sig being more accurate than 40.  It usually takes me 7 to 10 test loads to come up with a good 40 load.  357 Sig it is usually 3.  And that is just so I get a comparison on which of the powder primer combinations meet the velocity standard and I have something to choose from.  Only had one bullet that I could not get to shoot well out of my SIG 229, and it was the Berry's bullet with that firearm.  Would shoot fine in others just not that one.

Have the gold outline tritium front sight on a couple my defensive pistols.

Best wishes.

I regret not getting a SIG Sport pistol. I suppose the gas of the 357 SIG really works with the comp. Splendid example.

Had a chance to buy one of the all stainless 229 Sports with both barrels.  Greatly regret not jumping on that one.
