kneelingatlas Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) There seem to be an increasing number of people interested in custom CZ open guns, so I thought I would start a thread on just that: kneelingatlas Gigglemonkee Big Dog Howie Edited July 28, 2017 by kneelingatlas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle7735 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The final TS based one. with the mini dot and two port comp im fairly sure was at one point either a prototype or pre production factory model. Intended for IPSC modified when it existed. The only place ive ever seen anything about it was in the blue book of guns or the book of firearms values. Ive always thought it was just the coolest mad max robocop looking something. Wanted one or a copy since before i even knew what CZ stood for.

pivoproseem Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The IPSC M was a production model and I've seen several for sale over the years. They were all .40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 some really nice ones in that bunch. I like angus's one with ported barrel. looks like he has it without comp for steel challenge or something and then another top end for USPSA? there's lots of other cool ones too. go the CZ's!

tacticalCOWBOY Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 What makes the cz better then the 2011. Just wondering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Naturally that's a subjective question, but here are a few things as I see them: -ergonomics -slide in frame design allows a higher grip without interference with the slide -higher beaver tail puts the bore axis lower in the hand reducing muzzle flip -half the price As a concession: the CZ 9/40s are small framed which limited the OAL when compared to large frame 2011s.

tacticalCOWBOY Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I was not trying to be subjective. I'm new to the sport. I love the cz 75 there has been so many guns based of the the 75. One day after I save up my all my change I would love to get a open 75. Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 just a small edit. kneelingatlas's last sentence should read: " the CZ 9/40s are all SMALL framed which limited the OAL when compared to large frame 2011s." but I guess it was kind of obvious since he said 'compared to large frame 2011'. the slide in frame design is a big one for me. it does allow a better grip. the price thing is pretty important too. :) 2011's are great too though. the 1911 is a very excellent handgun and the 2011 adds some competition friendly points to that well tested design.

thompsoncustom Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) I sold my open project gun with the idea of building it on the sp-01 platform but I have two other project guns in front of that right now. I see there are people running c mores and other above slide optics, I've been plaining on milling the life and having a slide ride. Is there some advantage if having a above slide optic that Im missing or does it not make any difference?

kneelingatlas Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 I chose a frame mounted optic over a slide ride because I wanted a large lens close to the bore axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) I used to have a cmore slide ride on a Glock which might not being a good comparison. I ditched it for frame mounted due to the weight that it added to the slide and the fact that the dot would ride more during recoil. Some are concerned about longevity of the micro dots on slides but I know much progress has been made in durability.

thompsoncustom Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The biggest thing I didn't like about the setup above is the height of the red dot above the bore that's why I think milling the slide will be the wag to go for me just to get things lower. That and my Cz 75 shadow and a sp-01 could share the same threaded barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortuga Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) I guess I should rethink the whole concept, it was really hard to machine a Weaver base into the slide, and the action seems funny. Edited April 25, 2014 by tortuga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigglemonkee Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 i am machining the slide on mine down now for an sts, I will post pics when I get it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAGLS Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Here's my Accu bushing TS slide on SP-01 Shadow Target frame with a Delta point using the EGW LPA mount that CZC fitted. I'm thinking of sending it to Springer Precision to have them mill it and direct mount it. Edited July 28, 2017 by kneelingatlas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigglemonkee Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Mounted the sts and tapped the slide. Kept the rear site cut and sts fits perfect without matching slide just drilling on the risen part of the sight cut. Then shaped hammer just a millimeter so it doesn't hit sight. It is much faster acquisition now vs using the mount. Will take more pics and post when kids are asleep. Now to extend barrel and have a comp made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi... I have a couple of the CZ Czechmates -- I have a question about adding lateral side ports at the number 4, or last port on the pistols. Has anyone ever done it? I keep seeing all kinds of open guns these days with what I call "Tank Ports" on the last port on the compensator. I'm just wondering whether or not they're a useful adder in creating more forward thrust to the recoil compensation attribute as opposed to having all the gases vectored "Up". The question would relate to Major velocities and gas pressures. Gt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 I've actually though about doing the same thing Greg. I have a CM comp I've been modifying in the efforts of squeezing a little more performance out of it, the next step will be side ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
