Thank you for the response gentlemen. Inner diameter of the slide is between 0.700 and .701 Outer diameter of the factory rock island barrel is between 0.697 and 0.698 Outer diameter of the KKM barrel is between 0.695 and 0.696, but closer to 0.696 It's a surprise to me that the factory rock island barrel is slightly thicker than the KKM barrel. Looks like everything is within spec. I've learned some valuable information. Your input is much appreciated.

How tightly should a bull barrel muzzle fit into the front of the slide? My gun is Rock Island Tactical 40. I purchased a KKM bull barrel as a replacement. I acknowledge the barrel has to be fit. To see how tightly the barrel fits into the front of the slide I took the barrel muzzle end and stuck it into the front of the slide. I expected it to be oversized and would have to be lathed to fit. Surprisingly it slid right in and had a little play. Isn't the bull barrel muzzle end supposed to be oversized so the gunsmith can turn it down to get a tight fit just like a barrel bushing gun? It's not a lot of play at all but I was expecting for it to not fit at all. How much play if any is allowable? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the insight. I'll keep that in mind. Reading a lot of experiences with the CZC spring and follower on the board, in hindsight I'm thinking I should have gone with the grams kit. I read somewhere they might be the same kit?

Thanks all, I just ordered the CZC spring and follower kits. I'll play with the factory followers and the CZC base pads in the mean time. Much appreciated!

Hi all. I'm running brand new TS 40 mags with new CZC basepads. When loading them all up to test capacity 3 of five mags the factory follower will get stuck at the very bottom of the mag body. Even broke a new follower when tapping mag to get the follower unstuck. Shot through the top of the mag destroying the follower. Tried oiling the inside of the mag body to help to no avail. What's going on here?

Guys quick question. running a TF fattie magwell. My Greg Cote mag/dawsons combination fits fine. I have a set of megars mags that are a little shorter than my greg cote mags. wont go into the taylor freelance magwell with the dawson pads on them. if i get the TF pads and put them on the megars, will they insert fine?

Thank you I was deciding between the two. I kinda like the orange but in all reality the color doesn't matter as long as they perfom.

Hello, I have a TS 40 with large CZC magwel (not IPSC). Will springer basepads fit with no trimming? I couldn't find the info anywhere so I apologize if this has already been discussed.

Taylor freelance make them, including magwells.

Just got word my slide is ready and it will be shipping out in the morning! 5 weeks on the money. Can't wait!

I bought the para specifically for my para. I was told the trigger guard is slightly skinny. For the rock island I bought the 1911 insert and hand to remove a little material. The guns still shift so I ended up buying the rod o keep the muzzle in place.

Awesome, good to know guys thank you. I was quoted 8 weeks so I'll keep my fingers crossed for half the time. Did you guys have to pay for serviced before or after it was done? Do they call you to go over everything? My slide should arrive there tomorrow. I didn't write my CC info on the work order, I was afraid of someone other than them getting a hold of it.

Anyone experiencing this with springer precision base pads?

Wanting to get the slide on my SP01 cut for their RDS mounting system. Just wondering what type of turn around time have you guys experienced with CZ Custom?

I had the same over insertion problem with my Rock Island and STI gen 1 magazines. To correct it I got the dawson posi-lock mag release for STI, which fit in my Rock Island. Also did you get MBX STI or MBX Para magazines? The OEM STI mags fit and work perfect for my frame, same as the Pro Match, which was designed to be able to use the STI magazines.

How light is your firing pin spring? Try using your factory spring with the extended firing spring and see if those secondary hits are still there. Also, have you checked to see if the spring isn't broken?

Thank you for that link. I was measuring overall length. The longer rear portion where the hammer strikes makes complete sense! It seams as though the mystery firing pin might be a czc compairing the rear to my other.

Thanks for the measurements! Is this for a SP01? Your CZC seems pretty close. CZC has theirs published at 2.475". I'm wondering if they changed lengths at some point and made them a little shorter. If you wouldn't mind posting a picture of of the pin where the block reliefs are cut and the end where the hammer strikes that would be great!

Recently picked up a complete upper for my SP01 I'll be regulating to Carry Optics duty. Decided to pick up a CGW extended firing pin for it and noticed the one in the slide was much longer, way longer in fact. I measured it out to 2.490", the CGW measured out to 2.472". I'm trying to figure out what firing pin I have in this slide. I decided also to measure all of the other extended firing pins I have to try to match it up and can't find a match. The measurements are below. SP01 Mystery - 2.490" Factory - 2.438" CGW - 2.472" CZC - 2.475' Tactical Sport Factory - 2.463" CGW - 2.495" The Tactical sport CGW firing pin was closest to the mystery pin in length. I ruled it out because of the lack of firing pin block cuts present in the mystery firing pin. Anyone know what firing pin this could be? I don't know any other aftermarket manufacturers. I'm thinking this could be another CZ factory part but don't know which gun it came from. Thoughts?

Awesome, just what I was looking for. thanks!

Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything via search. I'm having problems with my universal uplula and my new style STi 9mm magazines. My uplula is getting stuck in the down position which makes it a pain when reloading. I would have the pull the mag down every time I load another round. Anyone experience the same thing? Any fixes? I don't have problems with the old style mags.

Just curious, do you have a tactical sport or sp01/shadow?

I'm very new to USPSA and have only been in the sport for six years. After four years I finally became a member. 1st year Singlestack - Rock Island Armory Tactical 45 2nd year Limited - Para P18.9 3rd year Limited - Rock Island Armory Doubestack Tactical 40 4th year I went buy crazy - Springfield Loaded (9mm), Rock Island Armory Doublstack 45, New Frontier Build for PCC x 2, and dumped a bunch of money into my RIA 40 & Para for longslide conversions, then purchased a bunch of Phoenix Trinitiy 2011frames x3 and para frames x3 for future personal builds (I'm still trying to build). 5th year - I got bit by the CZ bug and purchased a SP01 for Production , loved it so much after spending a small fortune at CGW I bought a used IPSC Standard used for Limited Not to mention all the extra gear, rifles for future 3 gun adventures, rimfire guns for steel and all the extra parts... sheesh!!! And I thought building cars was addictive.

What is the stock weight for the hammer spring? Just changed mine to 15 and it does feel like it's got a rolling break.

Tried searching for a good flat shooting spring combination for the CZ Standard IPSC (Tactical Sport) in 40sw. I just picked up a used pistol so I'm replacing the mag springs, extractor, recoil and hammer spring. Searched but most discussion currently is for the TSO. I will be testing the pistol first with WWB then creating my own loads. I have 13, 14, 15, and 16 lb recoil springs available and 11, 12, and 15 lb hammer springs available. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Currently have the 13 recoil and 15 hammer in place.
