Just put together.
« on: November 08, 2022, 04:43:09 PM »
About four months ago I picked up a slightly used SP01 and did a few mods. A couple of weeks ago I picked up a CTS upper and it needed to be refinished so I thought I'd try a copper color. I'm a little on the fence about the color. Good or bad let me know what you think.

Thanks for sharing your insight on the CZ 75 frame with CTS slide set up by PM!

As far as this sample goes,yeah your gut feeling is right. The copper color is kind of odd.

Thanks again!

It looks very conductive. Can't beat Nill grips though.

Thank you for the pics.

The copper color is definitely different, in a good way. Everyone has black, silver, or FDE pistols.  It's good to see something different. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

If you want to name this gun you can go with the “USS Constitution”….

The grips came with the gun when I bought it. I really like the feel of them and they fit my hands well. I was hoping the color was going to be a bit darker because I saw a P01 someone had the frame done and it looked really nice but it must have been a different type of coating even though it was said to be copper.

Like the color much better than some of the blue tones I see.

Well I made it to the range to and despite the color  ::) it's a very nice shooter. After making some sight adjustments I now have a SP01 long slide that's going to be a keeper. It seems like I've gotten into turning my 75b SAs into long slide guns. My first one has a TS upper sitting on it that I just put together added some CGW parts and enjoy shooting. My second one will have a TS upper on it that I want to put some lightening cuts in and refinish both frame and slide. The third one I just got back from CZC where they fit a Bullseye upper on and now I need to get the frame refinished. I also have a 75b frame with a Bull Shadow upper on it that's done as far as I'm concerned. I think I have a problem. I need to stop buying these uppers so I can finish the other two guns. I will say they are addicting because I like to see what I can do with them. Well on to the next one wait no I need to finish the other two first  ::).

Dang that sounds right up my alley. I will have to look at the CTS slides. I have a bullshadow and built SP-01. I love building the SP-01s and SAO.
If I did get a color job it would be dark green and bronze.

 The color matches the ammo. I think it looks good.

The frame is factory and the copper is Cerakote.

I picked up a pair of copper grips from another forum hoping to go full outrageous but they are a little off on the color. Keep or sell? The grips that is.

I think the grips bring the whole thing together.  It looks like something from the Cyberpunk game.  I mean that as a compliment.
