SP-01 in .40 cal

[angus hobdell]

I have swapped the 40 top on the sp01 in sveral instance and have found it works. I also used the 9mm p01 magazine with 40 S&W ammo and found that worked, I did not do extensive testing and I am sure there may be some tolerance differecne but my opnion is that it works pretty good.
Only problem is you have to buy two guns

AH: And how many rounds of .40s you can hold in your SP magazin? My tip is when you holt 19/18 of 9Lugers you can have 16/17 in .40s.

For IPSC Standard good capacity

He has not buy second gun, only slide and barrell. I am not sure how it is with your legislativy but in Czechs law about guns and ammo it is possible.

I can't wait for the Sp-01 to come out in .40SW!!!!  Although I still might just buy one in 9mm anyways!  Thanks for the info guys!

So you can try buy next slide and barrell in .40SW and your gunsmither can fit it...

I'm glad that CZ has plans for a .40.  9mm is good and hi-capacity 9mm is better, but hi-capacity .40 is definitely more better.  The .40 will truly be at home in the 41 oz SP-01.

Hopefully, the .40 will come out in a customized model with all the fixin's, like the Shadow.  I'll be in line for two, once the design mods have been tweaked.

The only specs I could suggest for a new .40 SP-01 are a slightly shortened dust cover like the 75 Combat II, standard tritium sights, lower paddle thumb safety levers like the 75 SA and TS, and a firing pin stop without firing pin safety like the 85 Combat.  Then it would be purrrfect.
