jrdoran Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Custom work looks awesome. I thought that CO was only for guns that were not single action. I'm not an expert and may have this wrong. I know my 1911 with a red dot was classified into open class. Perhaps your gun is not single action. First class work for sure. Luv how the dot is so low on the slide.

mfs Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Patriot defense just sent mine back. I did not get the slide roughed up but the lower position is awesome. I did have to use the 1 deg. shim but I am now really pleased. I still have the front sight on the gun and the dot is right on it at 18 yards. They did a great job and they redid the firing pin block. just under 140. plus freight great job and I am very glad I had it done Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tictacticaltimmy Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Would you mind going into more detail about how they modified the firing pin block? I'm curious to know if it is still functional, which you can test by pressing on the block and then trying to push the firing pin forward. Also wondering if the firing pin block spring is pressing up on the bottom of the optic Also, we'd love to see you show off a pic or 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 The pin block is 100% functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatriotDefense Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Here's a Stock II we just finished with a Leupold DPP...... That about as big of an optic as your going to get on these guns...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He managed to find a shim that worked great for his application and hes up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except mine is a chrome stock 2 I estimate it is nearly .400" lower than with the dove tail plate. The only draw back is you can't go back to irons with the dove tail removed It is awesome. I highly recommend Patriot Defense. They keep improving the platform. Mark Ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabodah Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Are they going to make a rear iron sight to fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Unlikely. That’s my guess. They’d have to make one for each model they cut, and for each optic in that model. Then people are going to whine if the finish doesn’t match. Why go through all that work if the gun is still illegal to shoot in Production when you’re done? (Which it is) Edited February 21, 2018 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbu Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 This is the important view. the dot is VERY low. In fact, there is almost no difference in drawn gun position between dot and iron sights. It makes the transition from iron to dot as close to seamless as imaginable.

Troy already said CZC's plate system is legal with the iron sight plate in place. I'd assume if Joe did his likewise, it'd also be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabodah Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 If the whole thing is black, like the rear sight itself would normally be, the finish wouldn't need to match. Some of us are not going to use the guns only for competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But guns like my Q5 Match and the CZC (they’re technically a gunmaker per Troy, unlike CGW) system are done by the factory, and thus were okay. But hey. All aftermarket triggers and hammers and stippling and trigger guard undercutting just got the nod for Production. And you can now carve your CO slide up like a Christmas turkey. So I’m sure it’ll get the okay. I think it should be totally acceptable as long as the slide isn’t substantially lighter, persoanlly. There’s no advantage.

mfs Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Here is the pic of a stock 2 with an egw plate and vennom optic in the back Stock 2 with slide milled in the front. If measured it is nearly .400" lower I finally figured how to shrink the file Sorry it took so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tictacticaltimmy Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 .4" lower is truly a massive difference, there's no doubt this is the way to go instead of a dovetail mount. I'm really impressed they were able to retain the functionality of the FPB. It would be nice if there was a way PD could make an iron sight plate, but that is extremely difficult to do with direct milling vs. a plate system like CZC is doing. Even more difficult when you include potential variability in the dimensions of Tanfo slides. Makes me wish spare slides from EAA were actually cheaper than just buying a new gun...

Garmil Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 big difference but that egw sits very high. The henning dovetail mount sits considerably lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoKimberDave Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Egads. Between this thread and Stuart posting CO guns in the CZ forum I don't know how I am going to resist a CO gun. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
