Pro2AInPA Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I'm making the transition away from Glocks and other plastic guns and going with all metal guns. I like the way heavier guns shoot. So, what are my options for an all steel production gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 My dream gun would be the S&W 5" 5906. good luck finding one though. The CZ's and Witness lines seem to be about the most common steel framed production guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what are my options for an all steel production gun? CZ SP-01 Shadow. My Production Gun is a CZ Shadow Angus Custom Shop, my wife shoots a 75B that has been tricked out, both are great guns just more about how you want it to feel in the hand. The 75B is lighter weight and balances differenctly otherwise it shoots the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Hepworth Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Tanfoglio stock2,..I have the small frames ones, but in the USA you would be using the large frame EAA stock2. Bull barrel production gun, something like 43oz. Baby desert eagle and Sphinx are also super heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I wish someone would make a steel framed striker fired gun. IMO, that would be the hot ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I wish someone would make a steel framed striker fired gun. IMO, that would be the hot ticket. I've played with one of the metal glock frames someone built up into a limited gun. Felt pretty nice. Of course, I don't think that works in production.

Flexmoney Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 My dream gun would be the S&W 5" 5906. good luck finding one though. I don't think that gun is on the current Production list. The 5906 is listed. But the 5in Performance Center gun is a different gun, with a different weight. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slee Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) Para Ordnance P-18 LDA ... the reset kinda sucks, but if you're a trigger "slapper", it's an awesome pistol! Edited October 15, 2010 by slee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Para Ordnance P-18 LDA ... the reset kinda sucks, but if you're a trigger "slapper", it's an awesome pistol! +1 38oz of all steel 1911. I've been toying around with mine. I just wish there was a way to shorten the trigger reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck1 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Just made the switch from a Glock 17 to the CZ SP-01, highly recommend trying one if you can, I really dig mine. I found a good deal on a like new regular SP-01 and just did sights and then the trigger job myself based off great info on the CZ forum, works better for me than the Shadow actually since it's easier to get the standard model to make weight for IDPA which I tend to shoot the most. Post-trigger-job mine feels real close to a custom shop gun with comp hammer, so it can be done with a stock hammer and firing pin block but it did take a few tries to get it there. If you don't want to deal with any of that just get a Shadow from Czcustom. Now DA is like a nice revolver, and SA breaks like a top-shelf 1911 (except this thing runs WAY better than ANY 9mm 1911 i've ever seen). Just a way easier gun to shoot well, first time I shot it I was like "wow, I'm good!" and I put it through 1100 rds without cleaning it to see if I'd have to get used to less reliability, but so far I'm really impressed.

open17 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Well--if it's weight you are seeking, the heaviest I see on the production gun list (really quick browse, might be a heavier one) is the Star Megastar. 47.6 oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobin Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I agree that the steel framed guns are a good choice for Production. I really have a nasty weak hand only stage shake when I shoot the Glocks which seems to lessen or disappear when I shoot the CZ. I find the CZ 85 is about the best balance of weight overall for me, had the Shadow but found it a bit sluggish for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 For the record, I shot a heavy CZ for years thinking it was awesome, but now I shoot a polymer gun and I think I was stupid before. Which means exactly jack, as people change tastes all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWBooth Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 the 5906 5" was ok'ed for production by the old rules, by NROI ruling. The change in the rules also says that, any gun that was legal would not be made illegal.From my understanding, NROI is working with S&W to get weights for several of their guns to amend the weights on the list. So, to say that it is illegal, I would challenge that. I know that there has been several people that have tried there best to exclude it from production but it still is just a 5906 with a 5" barrel not a totally different gun.The 5906 pc 4" gun has been legal with no question. Nick, I would be happy to show you my letter from J.Amidon where he says that it is not illegal at this time,02april'10. I have not been notified by Mr Amidon otherwise. --JWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G34 CORDY Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 CZ Shadow Custom!!!! I made the switch from striker fired guns in production to a CZ Shadow Custom and I will never look back. The Shadow is a very impressive gun, very accurate, reliable and comfortable plus the felt recoil is like a 22 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philo_Beddoe Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) I have tried Glocks and an M&P, always went back to the CZ. I too prefer steel guns. Edited October 17, 2010 by Philo_Beddoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
