My buddy who switched to a X5 Legion is having similar issues. Stuck slides with live rounds in the tube when he shoots 147s. It worked a little better with 124 but he is not getting the accuracy he desires. He is telling me the recoil impulse is fantastic but still not getting the desired results that are even close to similar to his Glock 17. Made me loose some faith in it and I might be back on the Glock train. I am still considering piecing together a OZ9. I love the modular frame but I do not really care for the frills. I would probably buy a frame and transfer some relatively stock Glock 34 components on it.

That is really concerning that it broke like that from that little use. Making reevaluate this or going to the dark side and getting a 320 Legion

For those of you following this thread to potentially try the same thing Dirty_J has confirmed that this does NOT work. Looks like I will be sticking to my OEM Glock mags.

AWESOME

I thought that was you. I was like "I know that avatar from somewhere" lol For sure. Now to see if Super Vel will sell me a test batch or bother one of their sponsored shooters for a few rounds to see if it fits and feeds. This thing still needs a barrel and KKM is like 7 weeks out. I might ask to steal yours for a test

I am not set so to say. I am just trying to see if it would work with something as simple as using MBX mags. If it is not I have a bunch of Glock 22 magazines that I will just run with Taran baseplates if it comes to the long ammo not working. Just trying to figure it out before buying MBX mags and the ammo.

Yea I have been in talks with Sam over there for the last year or so. COVID and the Global supply chain have made it difficult for them to acquire the raw materials. I actually found one of his older generation slides on Ebay and I decided to snag it since the last time I waited I got into this mess.

Shucks. I was hoping that maybe MBX's experience with making 2011 mags and it being just steel could have bought them the room needed to run these longer loaded .40. I am primarily a Production shooter where I shoot a Glock 34. To mix things up and to train to be more aggressive on open targets I am shooting the same gun in A fudgecicle nobody but a few crayon chewers and winder likkers want and just want something different. I have a Glock 31 slide with a Taylor Freelance sight block and a KKM .40 barrel it does not work with the new DC Precision frame weight I have. No offense to TF but I am really not in love with the look of the new generation sight block. I tried finding an older generation one but could not seem to find one.

So I am finishing the bottom half of a Glock 24 Limited build and now moving on to the top half where I am looking for either an OEM Glock 24 slide or a Spinta Glock 24 slide (which ever I can get my hands on first) and a KKM barrel. I want to run Super Vel's .40 180 grn Competition Long ammunition with an OAL of 1.185". Super Vel says on the website that they will not fit normal .40 magazines and might not reliably feed in non 1911/2011 platforms. I emailed MBX to see if they're Glock 140mm magazines will fit them but does anyone know if they 1 will fit and two if any other feeding issues may arise. Thanks for the input!

I may shoot it stock for a while. That is what I did with my current production pistol (Glock 34) and I was able to better grasp what I wanted to change. The other thing I am contemplating is should I try the SP01 or just sell it and get a Shadow 2? The only reason I got the SP01 was because I was in California at the time. Now that is no longer an issue I am tempted to just get a Shadow 2. I was considering a Tanfoglio Stock II but some people have told me that the Shadow 2 is a better option.

I would probably stick to a factory barrel.

Awesome. Also had a buddy that owns both to test it. He says some fitting but shouldn't be complex. He advises sending it to CZ Custom which I probably will do.

Does anyone know if a Tac Sport barrel will fit in a standard CZ75 slide (minor fitting ok). The reason I ask is this barrel should extend past the slide enough to get proper threading on. https://czcustom.com/cz-parts-all/barrels-complete-upper/cz-barrel-40-s-w-tactical-sports.html I know you can put a Tac Sport slide on a SP01 with some machining so I am curious if you can fit that barrel to a CZ75b slide in .40

If I miss the catch its gone forever. It's not worth the possibility of the damage to the gun or more importantly damage to the individual.

True. I shoot Production currently so I have been getting good at reloading lol

hahahahahahhahaha Yea due to miscommunication between myself and the shop I worked at I ended up buying a used SP01 and a new SP01 but with a combined price of under $800 I decided to take them both lol. One I plan on keeping for Production and one I have been wanting to make into a Limited Major gun. For the Limited gun I was going to put on a Tac Sport .40 slide and a kitchen sink sized magwell and make it SAO. I guess I waited too long and now I can not seem to get a Tac Sport .40 slide but I do have a spare CZ75B in .40 so I can move that slide over, get a threaded barrel, and then figure out a sight tracker solution like you have here.

It would be similar to the new 2011 grip modules that are metal. Would be interesting but it would be so niche that I doubt who ever made them would turn a profit unless Zev made it and offered it. They should do it like the 320 and either infuse tungsten or add weight modules inside the grip.

So I run HSGI pistol Taco pouches modified to work with a Safariland ELS belt. I shoot a lot of different handguns inside and outside of USPSA so the Taco pouches work great for the universal aspect but they are a little tall. HSGI now makes a kydex option in a "mini" format that is a little shorter which I am going to give a shot after Georgia State this weekend. I don't want to change anything before a major match. Not the time to try new things lol.

Is there a build thread for this gun? I am very much interested in going this route to build a CZ SP01 Limited Major gun. I was originally going to slap a Tac Sport .40 slide on it and call it a day but like I previously mentioned they seemed to have disappeared.

With the OZ9 I am just waiting to see if someone is dedicated enough to make a brass grip module lol

RIP Uncle Mike. You have saved me from starvation at a ton of matches because I am a clown and skip breakfast before matches sometimes. You were an absolutely a staple in the SoCal USPSA community and will be missed.

This is super cool! Is this a store bought item or something you have machined yourself? I would love to get my hands on one since I can not seem to find a Tac Sport slide in .40 to make my SP-01 into a limited gun.

So the Gen 3 weighs more that the 4 & 5 due to the newer gens having smaller cavities inside to allow space for the interchangeable backstraps.

So to follow up on this thread a buddy of mine who doesn't shoot USPSA wanted my 10 rounders and offered a one for one trade for black Wilson ETM magazines. Now to see if any more pop up for sale. I usually like having 10 mags in my possession (not all on my belt but in case I need to rotate one in). If anyone knows someone off loading any (I will make a separate post in the Classifieds about this) black 8 round Wilson ETM magazines please let me know! Also I saw someone selling some 8 round Wilson ETM for a compact 1911 and it looks like the only difference is in the basepad? Can someone confirm that if I just switch out baseplates if this will work in a standard 1911?

I made sure I bought all of it lol. It was from a buddy that had a UMP so he bought a ton of ammo for it. One thing led to another and he ended up selling the UMP and selling me the ammo.
