TS extended safety

[muncie21]

FYI the Shadow 2 safety will work on a TSO also.  Just a thought, as I'm not sure how much of a difference it will provide.

I have read the Shadow2 safety is 7.2mm and the CZC safety is 12.0mm. I bought the CZC model because I like the idea of being able to use my Dremel to make it the width? and shape I prefer.

I might guess the Shadow2 safety would require less fitting in a Tactical Sport model than the CZC wide safety.  Being an OEM CZ part, it might fit better than the custom safety?

It is my understanding that the end of the left side D Style safety lever is over sized to insure a tight fit in any right side lever. I believe that CZ factory safetys require some fitting. How much fitting is dependent on the right side lever hole.

Edit: This may not apply to CZ Custom parts, Per tdoggs post below.

I bought this:  https://czcustom.com/cz-parts-all/safeties/cz-tactical-sports-cz-ts-extended-ambi-safety-lhs.html

It was a drop in on my TSO and no fitting was required on my pistol (it may or may not need fitting depending on weapon).

I really like the thumb rest and it ensures I release the safety when drawing in competition.  It does have some aggressive edges to the texture.  I took a stone and ground off the sharp points toward the rear as they were digging into my thumb and were very sharp.  All in all I think it is a must have for competition (especially if you are used to a decocker control!).

Cheers,

I have a TSO 40 and this is exactly what I've been searching for. I have to shift my grip to reach the safety to flick it off and I use my index finger to flick it on. I've been Debating if I should get use to it or replace the LH safety with a CZC or a factory CZ shadow 2 extended safety. My concern has been if while shooting I might inadvertently engage the larger safety? If I should be riding the safety with my thumb like a 1911? Or is the wrong method / correct form?
I also wish there was a safety for the RH side the same size as the Shadow 2. It would make weak hand shooting easier and safer.

I bought the CZC wide safety for my TS, but haven't put it in yet.  I am worried about fitting it,  messing with the sear cage, and the springs are going to go flying, and I don't know how to get it back together, lol.

But there is always YouTube... so I got that going for me.

To remove that left side safety and file, or stone, on the cam on the safety shaft you don't remove/loosen and springs.  You do have to raise that one spring arm up (on the sear spring) to get it out of the slot in the safety shaft so you can remove the safety, but the spring is retained in the sear cage by the pin in the cage (that you don't remove just to get the safety out).

I stoned on the top of the cam to fit my safety into my Compact - but maybe only because I also replaced the hammer.  It may not have been the same job had I just replaced the safety.

And there's always that option of installing the CGW adjustable sear, which makes for no fitting at all.  But you do have to take the sear cage apart to install the adjustable sear.

M1, thanks, that info helps.

Do you remove the magwell and relieve the hammer spring tension before working on the safety/sear area?  Is that the way to keep the sear cage in place as I pull out the safeties?

I remove the tension from the hammer spring first.  I wouldn't worry about the sear cage, it can be remove fully assembled.  Just be careful that it doesn't come apart on you if you have to take it out.

Here's the quickest/easiest way to remove the hammer spring

Just installed the CZC extended safety last night on my TSO.  No fitting required but the sear spring was a tight fit in it's notch on the safety bar.

My CZC safety also was a drop in fit.

But, I too, noticed the sear spring seemed to be sitting up and not down very much, into the notch on the shaft.

Can this cause any problems?  I don't see the safety accidentally falling out.
