  1. Entirely different barrel sizes.

    Are you so certain? Sure the TS is a longer barrel, but the OD between the SP01 and Tactical Sports is nearly identical. With tolerances I'd say they are the same. In fact, I just put a TS barrel bushing in a SP01 and it functioned perfectly (by hand).

  2. 10X-bushing-011-433x325.jpg Looks like the TS is now available too.

    10X Barrel Bushing For Tactical Sport 7520TSX

    LIMITED QUANTITIES. Our first batch of 10X barrel bushings for Tactical Sport only in 9mm & .40 only. Made from 4140 and heat treated to RC45. Reduces barrel muzzle play to -0- at lock-up. This is a direct replacement for the OEM bushing. Fits .550″ OD Tactical Sport heavy barrel.

    NOTE: Some minor fitting may be required.

    $60.00

    What's the difference from the SP01 and the Tactical sports bushing? Other than possibly some clearance at the bottom of the bushing, they look identical to me.

  3. I've not reamed mine. I load to the pistols, including the Blue 147gr.

    For the record, the Blue Bullets are a little undersized for lead/coated at .355. Precision is lackluster in my CZ pistols, but I learned last week that they shoot well out of both my HK VP9 and Glock. I suspect the polygonal rifling handles the undersized Blue Bullets better than the land and groove rifling of the CZ.

    ACME is great. You seem already to have figured that out. Stick with that. Most 9mm brass will handle seating/insertion depth down to .300 (where the case walls start to thicken) without issue. You can actually go a bit deeper than that with beveled-base bullets. So you CAN load those ACME 147 right now if you like, but if you're set on reaming, you're probably better off not doing the load development twice.

    I'm getting different diameter measurements from my Blue Bullets. The following were done with a calibrated Mitutoyo sub micron digimatic micrometer.

    It appear Excel doesn't paste well here....basically 0.3562 average diameter.

    I just talked with the "Boys in Blue" over at Blue Bullets. They size to 0.355" for about the last year. The measurements above were from some older bullets (1.5 years?) I had measured from back then.

    I'd be curious to see what what your micrometer says about ACME or Bayou or SNS.

    If I had some, I'd measure them. I measure in two spots @ 90 degrees of each other. Averages in bold below for Black bullets and Montana Gold.

  6. Did you buy it new? I'd consider contacting CZ USA, describing the issue and have them repair it. If not, Cajun Gun Works and CZ Custom are top notch.

    If you are handy, or like to experiment... I suspect a burr or fitment issue of the firing pin block or lifter. I'm no expert so hopefully some others "chime in". I'd use a snap cap or ear plug and observer some trigger pulls and see if the hammer appears to be striking consistently. If so, I'd start from the top down? Remove the firing pin retaining pin and remove the firing pin block and firing pin. Look closely for mechanical wear on those parts. Maybe try it again without the firing pin block installed and see if it's (firing pin) hanging up in there (maybe a weak or poor fitting firing pin block spring?). Then I'd start to look into the firing mechanism and see if the lifter is functioning correctly. If it's still hanging without the firing pin block and the hammer is falling correctly I'd suppose a spring to firing pin fit issue, a burr or machining defect in the firing pin bore or firing pin.

  7. I was a "D" class shooter and then I lightened my TS slide. Now I'm on the Super Squad!

    czts_022_zpsb520982b.jpg

    Ok, it's not really a TS, and I'm not a "D" Shooter but this is the internet.

  8. Hello everyone. I picked up some 38 short colt brass and I'm looking at loads with a 147gr RN out of a 627 5" PC. I have plenty of VV N320 and Clays and some 147gr Blue Bullets, so if you have suggestions for that (or other suggestions), it would be great. Thanks in advance.

  9. I wonder if a lighter firing pin would be more reliable than a heavier one

    Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

    I guess the term "reliable" needs defined better.

    A lighter spring would lead to more "reliable" primer ignitions but it is also more likely "relax" sooner (given same materials) sacrificing long term "reliability".

  10. JayJay1,

    I use the plastic grips that are not very sought after. I imagine you could use the wood grips as well. Anyway, I cleaned them with soap and water, rinsed them really well and let them dry. I then bought two part epoxy at the local home improvement supply store (like OBI) and then ordered silicon carbide in 80-120 grit off a store on the internet (used for blasting or polishing stones). I put the epoxy only on the surfaces that I want to grip (outside obviously) and avoid the screw holes. I also did not sand since there was enough epoxy to fill in the "diamonds" and I like larger grips. Then I sprinkled the silicon carbide over it very liberally (you can reuse the stuff that doesn't stick). It has been very durable and I like the contour of the plastic grips (ergonomics) and the texture/grip of the silicon carbide.

  11. I asked Stuart at CZ Custom to modify a stock SP-01 into a Waffen Oschatz clone.

    Here's the finished product:

    CZC%2BHC_SDW0478aa.jpg

    I highly recommend CZ Custom. This is the second firearm I've had them modify and I haven't been disappointed yet.

    I have to bump this one just because it's so sexy. What kind of coating? Hard Chrome? NP3?

  12. Just added the Titanium Nitride Barrel.

    The rest of the gun is will be stripped and sent off to H&M for Black Nitride Finishing. Should look great when its done.

    unnamed%202_zpskdxfrmfe.jpg

    I'd be interested in if the TiN holds up on the barrel. Mine rubbed off the lugs and some of the hood after a few hundred rounds.

  13. Sp01 with TS slide? Then you'd have the mag opening and longer sights.

    Heck, CZ just has to run one more machining operation to get those on that frame (short dustcover). I've often wondered why they don't.

    Then again, I've wondered why they don't make a stainless SP-01 as well.

  14. According to my handy dandy Mitutoyu 8" digital caliper the IPSC Standard (Tactical Sports) slide with Kensight adjustable rear and Dawson precision partridge front sight is 7.078" and the SP01 with Kensight adjustable rear and Dawson precision partridge front sight is 6.563". I measured from the back of the rear sight blade and to the leading edge of the front sight (surface facing shooter or opposite of the muzzle). These are the same front and rear sight models therefore all things being equal.

    Long Slide: 7.078"

    Std. Slide: 6.563"
