clawson2011 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Just ordered 2 CZ SP-01's from CajunGunworks. Besides a belt, Holster and 5 mag pouches what else do I need to get so the girls are all set up to play in production? Dave said they are all set up with the pro package for production and I am setup to reload 9mm on my 650 just need to work up a load once I get the guns. Looking for how many magazines I need to have for each. I am thinking 8 each should be sufficient all with springerprecision ez on/off base pads, thin AL grips and grip tape. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The base pads at Ben Stoeger's Pro Shop might be the best/easiest I have seen for CZ's I have the Springers tho, I like them, but doing it over I'd get the ones on Ben's sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRevolutionIX Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Sounds like you have or will have everything you will need for production. I rotate through 7 mags all with +10% mag springs. Other than the +10% mag springs the only other thing I would add to your list is a boss holster/hanger. These are things that aren't necessary to get going but are nice to have IMHO. Edited December 8, 2014 by MRevolutionIX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewtac Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I got the double alpha holster with the adjustable drop offset and their pouches to match, along with the Springer base pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstone Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 It sounds like you have more than enough to start competing. One thing you might look too is having some spare parts. Extractor and spring. maybe a firing pin, if you are reloading you need a tool you never want to use but need it anyway, a squib rod. just my opinion.. have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0nny_g17 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Get some spare reduced power trigger return spring and slide stop Check youtube on how to change the spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clawson2011 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks guys. I have "MY" Limited rig and have yet to get the holster and pouches but was gonna order the BOSS holster and the ghost 360 pouches. have squib rods already, Knock on wood I have yet to have a lapse of concentration while loading but know it is just a matter of time. Do the extractor and firing pin need to be fitted or is this something I can have one of in the bag for both guns and if one needs it just swap the new one in?

Edit. Just read description on Ben's sight and says they don't fit box with sp-01 Mags. Thanks for the help anyways Edited December 8, 2014 by clawson2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood, Ben's come in black, but just easier to disassemble and clean between stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I think what he means is: I have a new extractor as a spare part from CZC, which is where I also bought my Shadow. I have the spare extractor just to have it with me at the range. All these spare parts are parts you hope you won't need while at a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 8 mags is sufficient in my opinion. i liked the thin al grips with grip tape but when i switched to the VZ textured grips i like them much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowdy, These are for my girlfriend and her friend to shoot so I will order a set of the VZ's also to let them try. Does the extractor need to be fitted like a 2011 extractor or are these drop in like my M&P? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 what benefit are you guys getting from aftermarket basepads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsons1480 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 what benefit are you guys getting from aftermarket basepads? I was wondering the same. I know with the stock mags, people talked about the basepad shooting off while doing a reload. Does this happen with the Mec Gar 17 rounders? If so, then I might consider the basepads. If not, then I think I need primers more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then I think I need primers more. I have mecgar's (mine are 12 round 40, but they appear to be identical to the 17-round 9 except for the location of the witness holes). I have never had a basepad come off or anything unusual happen. they are easy to remove for cleaning too, and since they're plastic, seem to be more durable when dropped onto a hard surface then the flimsy metal tabs on the oem 10-round 40 mags.

accu9 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 For myself the Springer base pads facilitate much more positive mag changes. You have some extra weight to help the mag drop free quicker and you have more real estate to grasp from your mag pouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstone Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Rowdy you explained it exactly ad I meant it. Spare parts are nice to finish a match. Not a needed thing but nice in a pinch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trgt Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) The MecGar 17 round magazines (blued) or the CZ Custom/Automatic Accuracy CZ version (nickel) are very nice with the stoeger base pads for shooting production. If you have the stock SP01 18 round magazines, the Stoeger base pads won't work - the stock plastic SP-01 ones work fine, or something like those from Springer Precision if you want something with more weight. Lots of CZ in this area and not heard of mag base pads failure as ever an issue. There are a couple threads on spare parts to check out, main thing being extra slide stops and fiber optic rod, beyond that Cajon can probably ship stuff to you as you need it. x2 on what Rowdy said on the VZ grips, I love mine. But those are very aggressive / sharp for some. The thin CZC grips with skate tape might work just fine (thin, grippy, not too aggressive).

clawson2011 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Have to give a thanks to everyone here and also David and Scott at Cajun. I now understand Istone, thanks I am gonna put together a small spare parts and spring kit. hope to see you all at the range in spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty79 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) I have a mix of SP-01 and 17 round Mec-gars. If you get the right Springer base pads, they all come out the same length and handle the same. Edited December 9, 2014 by Smitty79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 For myself the Springer base pads facilitate much more positive mag changes. You have some extra weight to help the mag drop free quicker and you have more real estate to grasp from your mag pouch. Exactly. Plus they come in spiffy colors and you can get them laser etched with mag # and your name. (Ok so that last bit is all about "cool" and not function....)
