Scarlett and others who mod their own pistols.   You guys should make videos so guys like me can tinker like you (almost).  If you guys know of any existing videos.  Please post links here.

Thanks!

I'll post an entirely new thread with everything I do and testing along the way. I'll also include the how to portions. It'll take me into the next week to finish all the stuff and get it posted if you can wait a little longer for it.

I've always liked those grips. I considered them for my Shadow but ended up going with VZ's. Are they the same thickness as the checkered aluminum grips from CZC ?


Thanks rhart!

Ooh good question. I'll measure them today when I'm back to my house. Supposedly they are the same thickness, but my checkered ones look thinner. I think the reason why is they basically start with the same grip and instead of cutting out spots for grip tape they machine in the checkered texture. So at the ridges of the checkering they are the same width.  But, when looking to the edges of the grips against the frame the checkered grips look thinner because my eyes aren't drawn to the tops of the checkering. I'll add pics on this post and it should make more sense.

Actually it was me Jim.c that asked about the grip thickness not rhart. You know your apprentice from Mesa. The one that keeps bugging you with questions.  8)

The polishing is all done. The last step/part to install and test is the competition hammer and preliminary results are showing a comp or race Hammer to be the best upgrade for your money. I'll get the post written up hopefully by Tuesday.

How much did it sell for on Gunbroker (if we are allowed to say).  Looks like about $560-shipped from the "Mr Gun Dealer" web-site.

Well I ordered one from Tombstone Tactical today for $561 shipped.

I just love CZ`s and have many!  I will post some pics when it arrives.

Is it true only 500 of these were produced?

Congrats and good choice! When I called to verify the specs of these pistols CZ explained their story a little and did say it was a batch of 500.

Probably tomorrow. Just finishing writing it all up. Still have to proof it, edit a few photos, then I'll put it in a thread. It was a lot of steps to document and write up. More work than I expected.

Mailman brought the last of my CGW goodies today so I installed them immediately. I astonished myself at how easy and fast it went. The last time I messed with a sear cage it took me four hours to reassemble it because of that bleeping spring in the lifter arm. This time it went together in like 30 minutes and the darn sear spring gave me more trouble than the lifter spring. Anyway, I installed a production legal hammer with type 2 disconnector, an adjustable sear, and a short reset lifter arm with CGW spring. It all went so fast, even though I wasn't hurrying, that now I'm paranoid I messed something up.

Man oh man! The SA trigger is (I'm guessing) about 2.5 to 2.7 lbs with minimal travel before a nice clean break. The reset is short and sweet with almost no over-travel. I can't tell if the type 2 disco helped the DA or not, but with a 13 lb hammer spring its not bad at all. I'll take it out tomorrow and test fire it.
