    Carry Optic P09

    in CZ

    Posted

    I think once you add an optic the barrel length is less relevant. IMO the real sleepers in this division will be pistols like the P-01 set up like a full on comp ready Shadow but with a red dot.

    CZ Tuning 101 with Professor Atlas

    Posted · Edited by midvalleyshooter

    Does anyone have a list of things to order to complete the makeover of a SP01?

    What is your budget?

    I went back and looked at what Prof. Atlas used at the beginning of this thread.

    CZC:

    Race hammer

    Shadow mag release

    97b trigger

    Flat hammer spring plug

    CGW:

    Ext. firing pin

    Ext. FP spring

    FPB spring

    11.5 hammer spring

    Trigger return spring

    Type 1 short reset disconnector (why type 1 and not type 2?)

    Is that about it? I would like some improved sights. How about the CGW floating trigger pin? How about small easy to lose parts? Should I get a spare hammer spring strut and pins to make disassembly easier in case I need to fit the disconnector?

    Thanks in advance,

    Keith

    First time out with new to me P09 and CZ85

    I took my trio of CZ's to the range today. The Accu Shadow was its usual boringly accurate, reliable self. The P09 and CZ85 ran without a hitch.

    Hey but wait a minute! The front sight is falling off the P09? I got the pistol with these sights on it. Can anyone help me ID the sight and tell me how the front sight is held on?

    Welcome,

    I have not had a 650. I did have a 550 and I have owned an rl1050 for 20 years. My advice would be to get the 650. That is what I would get if I was starting over.

    The 550 is a nice press, but the manual indexing is tedious. I think as far as converting calibers the 550 and 650 are similar. Both are easy to switch.

    Can someone explain something for me please?

    Where is the go to website(s) for parts and upgrades?

    Here are a couple links to help:

    http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=191773&hl=

    http://czcustom.com/

    http://cajungunworks.com/

    http://www.olegnikitin.com/news/complete-disassembly-assembly-of-cz-75-sp-01-shadow

    I would suggest one of the CZ's without the firing pin block. They are easier to work on. Your choices are a Shadow, CZ85 or a Pre b version CZ75. This last link is for the disassembly of a Shadow. If you have a FPB the firing pin is retained with a roll pin rather than coming apart like a 1911. The sear cage has an extra spring and lever which make it kind of a pain.

    may or may not be ext firing pin.

    if you take it out. and its kind of grey color with a flat running the length. its factory.

    Here is a picture of the firing pin. It is blued, no flat and is slightly longer than 2.5". Is that a stock type or extended?
