MarMahDuke Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I may have let pre election paranoia take hold and bought a SP-01 a few weeks ago. I noticed when I bought it (i don't have it in my possession yet... stupid 10 day waiting period) that it has a black barrel and not the normal stainless. Didn't think much of it at the time, but now i'm thinking it may mean something. I know SP-01's used to come with cold hammer forged barrels. Could the change in color mean its a different manufacturing method? Or am I just being paranoid. Any thoughts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviSS Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) As far as I know, they all come with black barrels. CZC polishes their barrel hoods, so they are shiny. Edited November 13, 2016 by LeviSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I've bought lots of new barrels from CZ USA and it's more or less random if they're black or silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kells81 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 My '16 safety model has a black barrel but my '14 safety model has a polished hood with black round barrel. I think its fairly random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man.. you're in SD huh? I shoot Pala and Oceanside thursday matches as often as I can. I just bough the SP-01 to get into production since my limited gun will soon be limited 10 by default. If your up at LDF anytime I'd appreciate a few minutes of your time to pick your brain on priorities for upgrading the gun. I'm planning doing all the upgrades myself. See you out there.

59Bassman Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Black barrel silver hood here on my newly-purchased SP01 Shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeinctown Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Black barrel on my SP-01 from 1-2 years ago. Except it isn't a good black like Sig puts on theirs. It rubs off easily. took less than 20 minutes on my lathe with a buffing wheel to remove every bit of black from the barrel. It just looked like crap as the black was rubbing off all over so I helped it along and polished it up nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you rub off the black, its stainless...er, silver underneath. So is it just back or... metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
