Out of curiosity, why would VAT apply to your purchase?
My total was wrong, I had more stuff .. order total after 21% VAT was 417.69 Euro -> USD $573.32 (google will convert for you)

These are the grips. Measurement is taken across the grip screws. As you can see at the bottom of the grip, where it is not covered by the tape, there is a convex radius to the grip.
There is a "newer" version of these grips, but according to my buddy who bought a pair, the newer ones are thinner and have less radius.
-
1.38" wide including the grip tape. I have the "old", discontinued curved aluminum grips, which have a bit of palm-swell.
Go right ahead, we can handle it ......
Ordered the blue ones from Ben .... -
I would post the measurement of my thickness -- I mean my aluminum grips' thickness -- but that might make you guys a bit envious.

My "old" MecGar mags got the Nickel Boron (similar to NP3) treatment. Now they don't rust and release from the magwell easily. If I remember correctly, the cost is around $9/mag if you meet a certain volume.
-
Very nice, August. Just for kicks, here is my back-up CZ Shadow that has the BlackNitrite treatment. Although this nitrocarburizing treatment "hardens" the metal, the surface finish won't last. Your DLC treatment should hold-up well. Here is my "Black Shadow".

DoubleL,
Just shot a local match with the new Springer basepads. Other than a couple of small nicks, not unexpected, they worked flawlessly. As far as cleaning/removal goes, my Arredondo brush works just fine. Also added some grip tape to the bottom. Here are a couple of pics.

The NY/Texas sleigh-ride example is not a good one.
- Weather is a result of mother-nature. Gun-control laws are not. If NY people don't like the laws, then vote for those politicians with a different political-lean. If that doesn't work, then those who chose to live in that state should live with the consequence.
- USPSA, to the best of my knowledge, is trying to grow (LOL) and be as inclusive as possible. Thus, it has adopted the lowest common denominator, which is a 10-round law. I guess anything fewer than 10 would work, but obviously we want the maximum allowed.
- Do we want USPSA to publicly circumvent local/state laws? If I'm a noob in CA and want to shoot USPSA, generally speaking, I want to use what's readily available and easily accessible.
This is already getting tiresome. Y'all have fun debating.
-
For USPSA, no issue for me. The basepad weighs about 1.0 oz. The Beretta basepad weighs about 0.5 oz. Not sure about IPSC.
Thanks for more pics justaute. You mentioned that the base pads add a bit more weight. Would this pose an issue making weight in Production?
-
These look awesome! Thanks for putting up the link eerw and I for one am interested in how well they hold up justaute.
I finally got a chance to do some dryfiring today. Still too wet and cold around these parts to do live-firing. The basepads felt really good. I think the dimensions are about right. Here's a picture comparing the three basepads I have. Will report back after I have had a chance to live-fire.
L-R: Beretta, Springer Precision (sample, pre-anodized), and MecGar stock

Again, the idea is to make the Production division more accessible and convenient to new shooters. You are correct in that those 10-round States still have Limited and Open; however, generally speaking, it takes more work to navigate around those State laws in order to procure parts/equipment for those divisions. If you are new to USPSA and/or a new shooter in Kalifornia, and a casual shooter, it's likely much easier to shoot what you have or to buy what's readily available.
Production division used to be treated like a "red headed" step-child -- so I have heard -- because its low round-count and "inferior" equipment; and, the division was, and maybe still is, used to get new shooters in the door and then usher them to the other divisions. I've only been shooting about three years and PD has grown quite meaningfully during that period.
Although I have other issues with USPSA and the Production division, 10-round limit seems reasonable to me. If anything, blame those limiting States.
What is so hard about mandating reloads between strings? I think that is a much more effective way to fix classifier problems than throwing them out. The argument about states not allowing high caps is bogus, because we still keep limited and open. I never said new shooters don't care about performance, but I don't think that the few guns that can't make the 15 rds should dictate the rules of a division. People from the crap states still shoot majors right? I don't care either way, I'll continue to shoot production. Revolver just got changed, so I don't think a division change in Prod would be that big a deal.
-
Well, because Production was "suppose" to be the entry-division for new shooters. Thus, it's made to be as accessible to as many people as possible. At least that's what I've heard. As far as logic goes, a lot of things regarding USPSA don't make sense.
Then why is Limited or Open not limited to 10 rounds as well? That is not a logical reason, due to the fact that it doesn't inhibit other divisionsBecause not every state in the Union allows more than 10 rounds.
USPSA...public awareness?...strategic planning?...effective marketing?...proper classifier organization/calibration? LOL
Why hasn't USPSA adopted the 15 round capacity limit for production?While I would love a Production Optics div I was also serious about changing the Production div to allow you to fill your production mags to their capacity. I don't understand how the division can mandate that you must leave your gun in basically a production configuration but then artificially limit how many rds you can put in the stock mag? What does limiting the number of rds you can put in the mag have to do with it being Production representative or not? Who buys a Glock 19 and only loads 10 rds in it (in the non socialist states of course)?
Maybe by the time I'm ready to switch to Open, Production Optic will be a reality and i won't have to switch ....
You know how Production is an arms race, with everybody clamoring to get the new CZ/Tanfo hotness? Now imagine that it starts all over again with everyone trying to get the new Production gun that holds 20 rounds in a factory mag instead of just 17. This happened once before, and that's why IPSC stipulated 15 rounds in the first place. If you can believe it, at one point the Para LDA was the hot ticket because of mag capacity. Do we really want that to happen again?

I think Appendix D4, 21.6 (Exchange of minor EXTERNAL components) should do it.
"Sights, firing pins, firing pin retainers, pins, extractors and ejectors MAY be replaced with OFM or aftermarket parts..."
Corey do you mind pouring me to the rule change? Not that I doubt you, it's just that "trust but verify" is my montra on rules.
-
Third this method. I use a pair of hemostat and it takes me about 30 seconds to insert a new spring and re-insert the pin.
Just use a set if needle nose pliers and push. Find it easier than fumbling with a slave pin.
I also find this the way to go.
-
Just thick and heavier -- still USPSA legal. The plastic basepad that comes with the Mag sucks.
Do they add any capacity, or just thick?
-
Purportedly better grade of steel, if I remember correctly. I just took their word face-value.
Type (1) TRS spring is made to CZC's spec, whereas Type (2) is CZ-factory. According to CZC, Type (1) is stronger and "should" last longer.
Personally, I've broken them all, including Cajun's.My TRS broke today about halfway through the 3rd stage ( 6 stage match). I had a spare one in my bag but was still unable to replace due to the fact that mt grip screws are star bit and, of course, I don't have a star bit in my bag. I tried doing with out taking the trigger assembly out but couldn't do it to save my life.
Anyway, I am now ordering a few more replacements and noticed that there are two options for the TRS:
1) CZ 75/85/SP01 Trigger Return Spring (TRS) NEW and 2) CZ 75/85/SP01 Trigger Return Spring FACTORY.
What is the difference in these two springs?
Also, I only have about 5000 (maybe) rounds through my 75. Is this normal for a TRS to break already? Seems awfully premature to me. Kind of nerve racking if I have to start worrying about a TRS breaking that often.
Hmmm, ok, so I guess the next question is what does that mean? Are CZC's specs more stringent or something? The one that broke is factory. The replacement is from CZC. -

Just got these. Will do a review soon. Upon initial inspection, fit and function appear to be very good.

22.2 might prevent the suggested F1 approach -- at least for the Production division, anyway.
"Grips – any addition or removal of material which changes the factory profile or adds function such as beavertail or thumb rest.""...from the inner most surface of the belt equipment (against the pants/body) to the closest point of the grip of the handgun and/or any reloading device."
This rule is very simple if you're not trying to read other stuff into it.
Both the handgun (in the holster) and mags/speedloaders (in their pouches) must be in compliance with the 2" rule. This does not mean that the reloading device is on the gun. It means that the mag or speedloader that is in it's pouch on your belt must be within 2" of the inner belt.
If this was formula 1, some bright forward thinking person would just add a little raised tab to the grip panel to comply. -
Agreed with you -- more often than not, rules are not being enforced. It's USPSA, where knowing, following, and enforcing the rules are discouraged. j/k. haha
FWIW...I think the 2" rule should also be removed from Open and Limited divisions. USPSA is a game, a sporting event, not a practical/defensive/tactical shooting practicum. That said, the skills and training used in USPSA certainly can have practical applications. If rules make logic, then put them in and enforce them; if not, remove them and get with the time. Management needs to lead and manage.
Edited my post.
Always been a rule but I guess I am the only guy to ever see it get checked.
I will be this gets checked more than most think. I doubt staff walks every shooter through the gauntlet at a match but any good RM MD CRO RO eyeballs everybody's gear. Do some sneak by? Sure but not the gear that is way out of specok did some checking my rig is illeagel
has been for 3 nationals, 2 area . 4 sectionals and club matches to many to number.
i will fix my rig today. but I say nobodys checking. oh where do i return my many prizes and plaques.this set up has allowed me to win ?

Chuck...did the dissenting BOD members provide any logical response?
...It didn't go over well....
-
Are you talking about the "czfirearms.us" forum?
That's a pretty good place. It has mainly CZ enthusiasts, not competition shooters, who share a common interest -- quite a few good people there.
-
FWIW regarding the right-side safety. If you are using the stock, extended safety, replace it. You can replace just the right side of both sides. Options are the regular the regular SP-01 (non-Shadow) safety and the thin safety.
Ordering from CZ-UB?

Good to hear. That's what I thought.
