CZC Semi Compact .40 S&W questions
« on: September 19, 2020, 04:08:45 PM »

I  am a lucky new owner of CZC Semi Compact  .40 S&W single action, CZC model number 91709. Here are my questions:
1. Can I use the slide from my CZ compact 9mm on this frame? P-01 9mm slide?
2. Can 9mm SP-01 barrel be fit to this slide, by cutting one top lug and shortening it? Would  .40 extractor works ok for 9mm? What would be other 9mm alternative?
3. Can .357 Sig barrel be ordered?

Thank you very much.

I can't answer #1 and 2, but the answer to #3 is yes.

What will be needed is an SP01 barrel.
Will need to be modified for compact pistol, rechambered to .357sig, shortened if you want.

Did your slide need to be modified to clear the dust cover on the single action frame? I have a compact 40 with rail and the portion of the slide housing the recoil spring is too meaty to clear my SA frame or SP01 frame.

It does not look to be modified in any way. Of note, another 9mm compact slide fits just fine.

Interesting, thank you.  My 40 compact slide is 20 thousandths wider on each side of the recoil spring housing/channel than any other slide I have.  Off the top of my head I think its .685 for the 40 compact slide width vs .645 for pretty much everything I have.

Yes, mine measures .686, it fits P-01 frame just fine.
