arkadi Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I glad you liked the set! I clean with Ballistol and wipe with cloth. Xtreme Stock III is factory Cerakote, sprayed with Shooter's Choice Rust Prevent Aerosol. Limited Custom is brand new with only ~1000 rounds shot, thus no wear so far.

gunnit Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 arkadi great looking family of guns. Goodluck with your open project also, keep us posted on how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niroth81 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 BB, How did you get these grips mate? I spoke to Nathan and he said he couldn't ship to Oz? Jase with his little CZ buddy: The CZ is a shadow orange/2012 with some mods too. CZ 85C old style trigger CZ race hammer CZ 11lb hammer spring CZ 10lb recoil spring CZ pre-b short reset disconector CZ steel guide rod henning grip screws CZ 1mm fibre front sight CZ extended firing pin CZ Rami firing pin spring CZ light trigger spring Some minor de-burring. I shoot IPSC rules with that CZ so it has to have an IPSC legal mod list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudukai13 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Sun is low on a rare clear day in Baltics. Production pair: black workhorse and Xtreme backup, together with Open wannabe. Arkadi, the way you have your Limited set up with the optic is exactly what I plan to do with an Elite Limited, once I save up enough. Can you describe the characteristics of shooting the pistol with optic but without ports/comp? What caliber is it? Do you have any other plans for modifications?

arkadi Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The Limited Custom is 9x19 HC large frame. The plan is to obtain a 6" barrel to put a comp on it for Major. But still have an option to shoot Minor for Steel Challenge and IPSC. Currently, it's a practice gun. Red dot relieves me from iron sights to put more attention into trigger control, etc. I do drills with red dot, then I pick I up the Stock III and there are quality improvements that would be longer to reach - more time, more ammo by using Production gun alone. Removes some psychological barriers. Helped me with faster splits, shooting close targets <7m with no aiming at all, start shooting as soon as gun is presented and sight picture is barely acquired, shooting while walking. Great investment and fun - all I need is to move the dot and pull the trigger. Red dot parallax-free design make it possible to shoot without centering the dot. Given all the above, I'm a fairly modest shooter, relatively a beginner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Awesome, thanks for the info! Does anyone know how difficult it would be to acquire a complete Open top-end assembly for the Limited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Awesome, thanks for the info! Does anyone know how difficult it would be to acquire a complete Open top-end assembly for the Limited? The current Gold Team is 1/4" shorter than the Limited, so unless you cut back the dust cover it looks like this: Luckily a chop saw makes quick work of a dust cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The downside is that the Gold Team uppers are hard to find and expensive. Your best bet is to get a barrel/comp to drop into your Limited, what caliber is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Limited frame, limited upper, canyon Creek comp, had to cut dust cover back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I see you were pretty conservative with the saw, I found each inch of DC weighs ~1.3oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yeah took just enough to clear the comp with a little daylight to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudukai13 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Atlas, is there a specific issue with having the comp somewhat inset to the dust cover? Will the gun still function that way, or is cutting the dust cover an absolute necessity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbs007 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I'll play... will setup the Limited Pro for 3-Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 When the gun cycles, the barrel moves back relative to the frame ~7mm so in the case of Garmil's setup the comp would impact the frame, but the Tanfoglio factory comps are designed to work with full dust cover frames, so they clear the frame rails. I shot the gun above like it is without issue, it just wears on the sides of the comp a little and looks a little off. More than anything I prefer short dust covers on my Open guns to cut down on the weight; the all steel guns like CZs and Tanfoglios get pretty heavy once you add a dot and comp (especially the CZ which uses a steel comp as opposed to the aluminum one on the Tanfoglios).Limited guns use the weight of the gun to mitigate recoil and muzzle flip, but in Open guns that's the job of the compensator, so the extra weight just slows you down in transition. There are some who like a heavy Open gun (50+oz), but I prefer them in the low 40oz range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Good to know - I actually kind of like the look of the in-set comp, so if I ever do end up putting a comped top end on the Elite Limited I'm saving up to get, it's good to know it won't have issues with functioning. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancher5 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Finally put all the pieces together for my 9mm Elite Gold Team, thanks for some suggesting using a soldering iron to heat red loctite so I could remove screws and replace with a thumb rest ,makes huge difference shooting,Really like this gun it runs great,fun,fun Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
