Macca Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hey guys, A few questions to people who know about the CZ's I'm looking at getting one but want to do something a little different. In Australia the govt basically banned everything that is over .38 in bore diameter unless you go through a hell of a lot of hoops for special permits and such which you can't get just for something like ipsc. So what I'm wondering is rather than just owning yet another 9mm gun.... has anyone converted a CZ 97 to a 38/45 or has anyone converted the 40 cal cz to a 357 sig? and how difficult is it to get a barrel? I realize that a lot of people would just say oh well just get a 9mm and be happy.....but I want something I can load up a bit, and something more unique....I'm going to attempt to shop around local barrel makers here but everything seems to be 1911's If anyone has any info etc I'd be grateful.

Mattias Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hi CZ Tactical sports was made in caliber 375sig. I don't know if it's still on the market but the gun might be the choice for you. DVC Mattias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pivoproseem Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Seems it would be easiest to ream a 9mm barrel to .357. Converting a CZ97 to .357 would present the question "what mag?" Edited June 30, 2010 by pivoproseem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Hon Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Angus had a TS converted to 357Sig. Thought he did it specifically for your market, actually. There was also a guy on the CZ forum selling a 357sig conversion forum for a 40 Rami. I'm wanting to say I've seen a '75SA 40 converted to 357Sig as well. Seems as though it would likely be the most practical of your two options.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philg80 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Seems it would be easiest to ream a 9mm barrel to .357. Converting a CZ97 to .357 would present the question "what mag?" 9mm barrel does not have a big enough OD or ID to ream it for 357 Sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philg80 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I realize that a lot of people would just say oh well just get a 9mm and be happy.....but I want something I can load up a bit, I have shot my 9mm Major rounds through a stock CZ with no ill effects......115gr JHP travelling 1520 fps is "loaded up a bit"!!!
