    I have an old 75B..   I haven't looked at it in almost 10 years I'd bet..  Just found it in the back of the safe and compared it to the S2..  I'll bet money the old 75 has

    3-4 TIMES better slide to frame fit than the new S2..  Which brings about some disappointment !

    In that case it does sound like your S2 is looser than most. Now you’ll have to take the 75 and S2 to the range together and compare accuracy.

    Ahh, really good to know and be reminded of. I'm looking to send in an A01 (hammer forged) so hopefully I wouldn't need to worry too much.

     

    The S2 you had done- that the brushed or matte option?

    Brushed.

    Nice. About how long was the turnaround?

    This was back in 2020 and took between 3 and 4 weeks if I recall correctly. 

     

    One thing to note about hard chroming a CZ: The frames are cast so there is a possibility of finding a few small pinholes (voids from the casting process). The factory polycoat is thick and fills everything in, while hard chrome is a very thin layer. I sent a Shadow 2 and an 85 Combat to APW for hard chrome, and the owner Bob Cogan called me to let me know the Shadow 2 frame had two or three very tiny pinholes on the right side of the frame. He informed me that they could attempt to buff them out but that can open a can of worms if the void ends up being bigger under the surface, so I told him to just let them go. They are super tiny but it's just something to be aware of. On the other hand the 85 Combat frame was perfect.

    I’d like to know if the black cerakote ones direct from lok retain the same aggressiveness too. Have sent an email but no reply as of yet.

     

    It’s largely about who does the application.

    Is there a link for those on the Lok site or do you have to call to order them?

    Was anyone on this thread able to attend the NRA convention in Houston?  If they had the gun in the CZ / Dan Wesson booth there is still hope.  No gun in the booth probably means no gun ever.  

    A CZ rep at the show was answering questions via their instagram page. Her answer to a DWX question reiterated what CZ has said previously: “promotion” is halted but they are committed to bringing the gun to market

    With EAA out of the picture, does anyone know if IFG will be picking up and carrying the Tanfo Witness Match Elite series pistols or the Hunter model? 

     

     

    I called IFG a few weeks ago to see if they stocked the “Match” which is basically the same as the “Witness Match Elite” as far as I can tell aside from the rear sight.

     

    They told me “we stock all of Tanfoglio’s models” and to check the IFG website. However if you compare the Tanfoglio Italy site to the IFG site, obviously at the moment IFG is not listing everything from Tanfo.

     

    I think over time they will but as of right now they are missing a few, including the Match and the Hunter, although they do list the Gold Match which is another 6” gun.

  7. It was mentioned in the thread previously but per their instagram, they have “decided to halt promotion of the DWX” until it meets “the standards that we have set and that our customers deserve.”

     

    I’m guessing the gun is just not ready for mass production and so instead of leaving it up on the site and getting hundreds of phone calls and emails every week asking when it’ll be available, they are just going dark on it until it’s closer to/ready for production

    They are announcing new guns Friday…. Two of them

    From the teaser pics it’s looking like a sub/micro compact and maybe something aimed more toward competition… both polymer

  10. I have one installed in both an 85 Combat and a Shadow 2. Have not shot from a rest to really compare accuracy but barrel play at the muzzle is reduced to basically zero and I am more accurate with both guns than with my standard-bushing 75.

     

    Install was simple and straightforward although the 85 took a little extra elbow grease to get the stock bushing out, and the 85 barrel also now requires a little effort to remove from the slide (I have not done any fitting on the CGW bushing).

     

    for $60 I say its worth it. Also when I did the work on my Shadow 2 I had roughly 1000 rounds through the gun. The stock bushing was already damaged. The CGW piece is definitely a stronger, more durable part.
