CZ slide stop interchangeability

[rhart]

I have one of the steel-frame with rail compacts (referred to by some as an SP01 Compact). I like the slim ambi safeties (others don't), but the slide stop sticks out too far for my taste so I ordered the slim Rami slide stop that is advertised as fitting the Shadow. The Rami slide stop went right into the compact and looks like a perfect match to the slim ambi safeties. Only thing is, the slide won't rack with this slide stop - disappointed. Both slide stop shafts look pretty much identical except for total length so I'm a little confused - unless it's the other sticking out part as they seem to be slightly different.

The Rami works just fine in my Shadow as advertised.
The Rami doesn't work in my P01 either.
The Shadow slide stop doesn't work in either compact.
The P01 slide stop works in the steel compact.
The P01 slide stop won't work in the Shadow.
The Rami slide stop functions in my CZ 97B.

I put the P01 slide stop in the steel compact and I guess I'll order a new one for the P01.
I think it's strange that the Rami will work in the Shadow, but not the compacts.

if you look at the Rami frame, for whatever reason. they narrow that portion of the frame. so the shorter slide stop works.
on the PCR, P01, and the SP01 Compact, the frame is left wide. so the longer release is needed.

Thanks Stuart.

Update. I put the Rami slide stop on my 97B tonight. Seems to function good. I'm gonna try to find time to shoot it tomorrow and see how it functions.

UPDATE: The CZ Rami slide stop functioned perfectly in my 97B.

I just went thru a similar issue with my PCR. Now, that I have a small collection of CZ slide stops, it is easy to see the differences. The length of the shaft ( that goes thru the frame and touches the stop return spring) is one critical dimension. On my PCR, this was longer than a 75.
Next the tab that grabs the magazine/slide stop notch also varies. I have seen this item mismatched, and create an issue where the slide either wont move rearward more than an inch, or where the slide stop is not working.

CZ makes several, and I am also sure that some "wrong" stops can be modified to work. I almost went that route while waiting for the correct one to arrive.

Good luck, and glad to hear it works in the 97

This is what I experienced when I put a slide stop that didn't fit.

The Rami works in the Shadow and the 97B - it locks back like it is supposed to.  I haven't tried it in my SP01 yet, but I'm thinking the Rami slide stop will work just fine.

Thanks for posting!

Does anyone know if the RAMI Slide Stop will work in a 9mm Tactical Sport?

I don't have a Tactical Sport or I'd try it out to see.

Don't have a Rami but I'll post up just for a reference.

And don't make the STUPID MISTAKE I made, many years ago, when trying different slides on different frames.  I put a 85 Combat slide on a 75B compact frame and dumbly used the 85 Combat slide stop.  (I just wasn't paying attention and didn't really think about the differences.)

Because the far end of the 85B and 85 Combat slide stop fits into a fixture on the frame, that end is narrower than the standard slide stop -- and that narrower end isn't properly supported.  When the gun recoils, rather than spreading the force of the barrel's rearward movement evenly from the barrel lug to the slide stop, the barrel lug hits the stop at an angle, and breaks.   Duh.

If you have an 85B or an 85 Combat, or any CZ with an ambidextrous slide release (are there any other?) you can get in trouble if you're not careful.

Welcome back BTW, good to see you getting active again!
