Nemesis Lead Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi Guys, I was thinking about getting my Shadow slide milled for a DeltaPoint Pro (Carry Optics Gun). A few questions: 1) Can you please recommend a reputable company to do the milling? Looking for the usual--good work, good prices, fast turnaround, stand behind work, etc.. 2) Are there any known issues with milling CZ slides for optics? I worry a bit about the extractor pin on the top of the slide. 3) Can CZs have their optics mounted low or are there issues there? 4) Anything else I should know about milling CZ slides? 5) For those who shoot carry optics, do you use backup sights? Many thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance! 1. I sent mine to Springer Precision for the milling. They mill further back compared to CZ Custom. Cost was around $160 for milling and cerakote. Took about 5 weeks to turnaround for me. 2. Issue seems to be milling further forward on slide close to the extractor. 3. I found mine to be decently low. 4. I just had mine done and have limited experience. 5. No sights on mine. I'll be at Richmond on Sunday for the match if you would like me to bring it to check out. I have only shot it once at a classifier match so I have very limited experience with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZC did my Accu-Shadow, Springer Precision did my CZ 85 Combat. 2) Are there any known issues with milling CZ slides for optics? I worry a bit about the extractor pin on the top of the slide. You can mill the extractor pin if needed. 3) Can CZs have their optics mounted low or are there issues there? If you have Shadow without the firing pin block you can mill 0.250"+ deep. 4) Anything else I should know about milling CZ slides? 5) For those who shoot carry optics, do you use backup sights? NO backup sights, they just slow you down! Many thanks in advance! I posted a pic of my Accu-Shadow and my CZ 85 Combat both milled 0.250" deep into the slide Edited March 16, 2017 by CZ85Combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Lead Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 So who was better to work with? I am liking how deep the cut is on your 85 Combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ85Combat Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 They are both cut 0.250" deep. CZC has the best cut as it is a Multi Optic Sight Cut. you can mount, Leupold Delta Piont, Leupold Delta Piont Pro, C-More STS, C-More RTS II, C-More STS II, Vortex Razor, Burris FastFire 2 & 3, Docter, Vortex Venom.

trgt Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) If you know you are going Deltapoint Pro on a SP01 Shadow top end, I think currently Springer Precision may have one of the better cuts for that specific combination. Scott has set it up so that the DP Pro sandwiches perfectly behind the extractor pin, and just in front of the firing pin plate, so neither of those are touched. And because there is not firing ping block, you can get reasonable low, certainly lower than you can with a firing ping block upper. In the past, my CZC milled multi-optic cut was forward of the extractor pin, you can see where CZ85Combat's pin is now under the optic and milled shorter. The advantage of the multi optic is its very versatile and doesn't lock you into an optic. But you trade away exact fit, the deltapoint will have a space in the front, while the RTS2 will have space in the rear. (My first go around with Springer last year we had it all the way back so the firing pin plate was milled on the top, and you had to watch clearance with the hammer.) I think with the Deltapoint, Springer has it just about perfect now for the SP01 shadow top end. You can check out @ Richmond anytime.

Gcarr Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Question??? Does Springer use locating pins like CZC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, ok, sorry, my mistake. The picture you posted looked like the extractor pin was in the multioptic cut area. Are yours deltpoint specific cut?
