It doesn't have a fiber front sight and the factory sight is a bit difficult to pick up. I'm thinking I will get the fiber optic front when I get the mags along with a 9mm extractor ... Like you mentioned these mags aren't cheap! I need to free up some cash first as I don't like paying 15-22% interest on a CC when my bank only pays .05%. So I don't like keeping a balance on my CC, especially not for a hobby.
When I first heard of and saw this model on line I was a bit smitten. I wanted the 9mm and started "shopping" but when I found this 40 locally, held it in my hand and the shop owner told me the story I knew this was the one and she'd just been waiting for me
.
I thought I could run 9 in it just like my Glock 23 ... Change the barrel and mags and its gtg. When I called the custom shop and asked, they told me I'd need a slide with the 9mm chamber face, and they don't sell a slide ... I mentioned the Glock conversion and he basically said if I wanted a 9, I needed to buy one in 9.
I decided to take a chance as the new CZ barrel was just $145. I was hoping to find 9mm mags for around $20 ... but, it is what it is ... a TS that shoots 9 & 40 is worth the extra expense.
