Neomet Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 You are gonna love shooting that with the new grip. Totally improves the feel of the gun. Very nice looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbird1976 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 i have several CZs my self and love them all just got into Dan Wessons order a new havoc cant wait to get it here...but one thing i need help with is the TS mags the bullet keeps nosing down i have the basepad and springs from CZ custom....I put the bend in the spring and everything any help from the CZ world would be nice If you're running the gun with a recoil buffer, the slide may be short-stroking which will cause the bullets to nose dive.

SDM Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Just had Stuart turn my TS into a pseudo-CTS CZC flat trigger and comp hammer. Had the triggerguard and beavertail undercut. Also had the awful grip checkering milled off to reduce the grip size (to be soon covered in skate tape). The frame is cerakoted black, even if the sunset lighting makes it look kind of brown. Elected to stick with a blued slide as it looks good in CZC's CTS pictures. I opted to leave the dustcover alone as it would have been a hassle to find the appropriate FFL to move the serial. I also prefer the look of a full dustcover. Though someone posted a compromising angular cut that was quite attractive earlier in the thread. I'm stuck with the silver grips for now. Unless someone can find me a US stocking dealer for http://www.shop-cz.com/grips-for-cz-75-b-cz-85-b-anodized-short-black/d-70758/ and http://www.shop-cz.com/magazine-funnel-anodized-cz-75-ts-black/d-70738/. This is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59Bassman Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) New family picture. Just got home from the range. Bought the CTS from a friend to go with my 75 Shadow. I have not shot Limited since Limited was one of two classes and my Single Stack .45 was not exactly competitive with the Para .40's that I was up against. The gun shoots extremely well. I shot about 120 rounds tonight through it. The trigger is actually a bit frightening at first. I can't imagine that a 1911 can be made much better than this CZ. Now to start reloading .40!

59Bassman Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Don't be jealous. It was a deal I couldn't pass up, but it's going to cost me A LOT. We're going to be picking out countertops next weekend.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuffs Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I reached a milestone with my TS today. The slide stop finally got worn enough that it wouldn't lock back the slide on empty. Thankfully CZ ships 3 spares with the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 sure it's not just the mag springs not pushing the follower's slide stop lip hard enough into the underside of the slide stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuffs Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 sure it's not just the mag springs not pushing the follower's slide stop lip hard enough into the underside of the slide stop? I thought so too, but I dismantled all 5 of my mags and cleaned them really good. Then I tried them one after the other and couldn't get any of them to lock it open, even my fairly new ones. I could probably resolve it with mag springs, but I'm not sure where to dig up extra power springs as CZC is out of stock. Who removed the checkering on your grip? It looks good. What coating is that on the frame? shane Stuart Wong did all the work to that gun. It's not really noticeable, but he also undercut the trigger guard and the beaver tail as well. It feels absolutely amazing. The finish is black Cerakote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningsquirrels Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 with grams he might even have a kit that can increase your capacity by another round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuffs Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks guys, that's a better solution anyway. I figured 3 to 4k was a pretty short lifetime for a slide catch. The +1 will help too, as a couple of my mags I can't get 20 into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDM Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I can get 20, but somebody on here gets 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXMXRACER Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I couldn't stand it any longer. I started filing on my TS frame to get rid of the stupid checkering. Hope it turns out ok. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neomet Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yep, you will do fine. It is sort of nice because the checkering gives you a guide so you take the same amount off all the way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuffs Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 With CZC basepads and Grams followers/springs I get 21 reloadable in all my mags. Where do you get Grams followers for a TS? I've checked his site and all he has is STI/SVI stuff. Surely those don't work, do they? Or is this just an 'dining off-menu' kind of thing? Since his order forms are all interpreted by a human anyway. Anyone have feelings for these baseplates http://www.taylorfreelance.com/a_glock_guy_with_a_cz.htm ? They're about $8 cheaper than CZC, plus he has springs that work (CZC is out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59Bassman Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Call Grams. Ask them for the CZ kit for 140mm mags. They're not listed on the website, but they have a slightly different follower design. In terms of extended basepads, I know the CZCustom basepads/Grams guts work, and some of the mags will do 21. Of my 4, 2 of them appear (I say appear because I have not yet tried it in competition) to hold 21 reloadable with that combo. It's a more expensive option than the Taylor Freelance, but it may get you one or two more rounds per mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asimonp79 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have a small question here - does anyone uses aluminium mag basepads that add only 1 round at the 40SW? I mean Angus sells +3 basepads, but these do not fit in the IPSC box, so have anyone used the +1 basepads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMXRACER Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yep, you will do fine. It is sort of nice because the checkering gives you a guide so you take the same amount off all the way around. I have most of the front strap off already,went pretty quick. Getting around the curved lip on the bottom is a pain. Thanks for the encouragement. shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
