IHAVEGAS Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 How do they feel different? Larger, smaller? Could it be the different trigger? Thanks When I have the gun in my version of a correct grip: SP01 - Pressure from the back of my gun to my strong hand is high toward the lower portion of the gun (where the main spring housing would be in a 1911) and low in the web between thumb and forefinger. CTS - Pressure feels more equal top to bottom Effect to me is that SP01 feels more secure getting to hand from the draw and CTS feels more 'right' when shooting. I prefer the CTS for my particular human construction (about average sized hands for a 6'1" guy a bit on the skinny side) , but maybe the next person would prefer the SP01 and the next two people after that would be equally happy with both.

In short, it balances better in the hand and the lighter front end makes it easier to make transitions.Of course the adjustable TS rear sight has an excellent sight picture and a longer sight radius which doesn't hurt either.

Richc2048 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 So I have both the cts and Sp-01 shadow custom. Both from czc. All I can tell is the recoil is "different" I'm debating still on which one I like better? Do you have a preference yet? I'm leaning towards cts due to sight radius and srt trigger.

himurax13 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I have spent most of my time shooting the SP01's. I will try and get the Longslide a work out over the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMedic Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 So I got to play with my CZ-75 CTS LS-P a little bit yesterday at a local steel match, the SRT trigger is really nice in single action, almost scary nice. On my STI's and M&P's I usually pull the trigger with the pad of my finger, with the LS-P I notice I'm a little deeper almost to the first joint. Trigger pull wise I don't see it being a hindrance, and believe its just a side effect from being able to "over" grip the gun a little better then the wider guns I have since the LS-P has a thinner grip, one thing I do like about having a thinner grip is that I'm able to hit the mag release button without the need of breaking my strong hand grip. About 100 or so rounds in I notice I could drive the gun pretty hard. With my M&P pro and the ammo I am using it would be more snappy, with the LS-P since I'm able to really get a strong grip on the gun I can keep it pretty flat. The recoil on the LS-P does feel different then on my 9mm STI though, feels more like a push then muzzle rise vs the STI where its just muzzle rise. The LS-P muzzle doesn't rise much at all but you'll notice the push much more, I kind of like it as the sights track and stay on target better. I need to figure out the best way to grip the slide during empty start loads though, I'm so use to on both my M&P and STI grabbing the slide from under the rail and just working it through that way. With the LS-P I just can't get enough grip on the slide and I end up pinching the rear sight to rack the action. My fingers seem to slip off the front and back serrations.

alma Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I have been running a Red Hill Tactical holster in Production Division all year and it's easily my favorite holster. Get the double layered design as it really adds the the stability of the holster and improves draw consistency. The hanger is also well worth the money and is a huge upgrade from a standard BT DOH.

IHAVEGAS Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Ok, I know I am being lazy and I could do a search and all that baloney. But. I just bought a buttload of sns 147 grain lead. Anyone have an oal figured out that works well for this lead in this gun ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Depending on the Ogive of the bullet it will probably be anywhere from 1.110" to 1.150". I would make some dummy bullets and try 1.130" for a plunk test and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 147 lead and plated bullets tend to have a bigger ogive, so most likely going to be short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 1.10 147 Montana Golds seem to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richc2048 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I can get away with 1.135 on xtreme 147's but 1.115 seems to be the max with rainiers. I have some old precision delta 124 JHP I made for my glock at 1.135 and it hits the rifling hard. I bet that needs to at 1.100 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richc2048 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Finally put thin safeties and a floating trigger pin. The safeties are definitely a must. Especially if your coming from a striker gun like a glock. I could never get a high support hand grip.... Until now. If your buying the long slide or any CZ for competition, this is as important as having ammo to run the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilkMyDuds Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is the DA trigger pull reach on the CTS the same as SP01 Shadow? I got short fingers and could barely reach the trigger on the Shadow DA pull. Looking for a CZ model that has shorter DA trigger reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkMyDuds Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Does this gun have a decocker? In prod, does this gun start with hammer fully down or half down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richc2048 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 No decocker. Manually set hammer down all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHAVEGAS Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 This reveals a lot of ignorance, but that is reality. Anyway, would like to have a relatively inexpensive back up for my CTS, something more off the shelf and mass market priced. Would need something that had the same grip dimensions (feel) and that would work with the same holster. The gun would be used to take the brunt of reload practice and as a match back up. Is there a CZ 75 model that would work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richc2048 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Maybe a stripped down version from oak hill guns or a cz75 shadow. Not sure if holster works for it though. I know the sp-01 shadow doesn't work in the same holster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
