GregJ Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 12655 rounds and the slide safety bit the dust. Fortunately wife and I were at the range having a day date. I had just shot a local match yesterday. 6k rounds a DPP screw broke. I think I will start replacing the screws at 4-6k and the slide stop at 10k.

Jollymon32 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I carry spares in my bag just for that. What I have noticed is that I have not had this type of failure since I started reloading rounds much less powerful than factory loaded rounds.

perttime Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Some CZ shooters seem to be running with 2 slide stops. An old one for practice and a new one for contests. When it is time to replace the practice one, the contest stop becomes the practice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abb1 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yes, two parts that will break are the trigger return spring and the other is the slide stop. One that helps with the slide stop is using a shock buff. I have not had one break yet, but all my CZ's have shock buffs from day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuey Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I never knew that would break like that. I figured that part would last a lot longer. Will order a couple of spares for my bag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoRivera Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) I also use shok buffs (clear ones). Without them, when you cycle the slide dry you can really feel the 'clank' of it hitting the slide stop bar. I'm sure it takes a lot of rounds for it to break, but I the little extra added padding. I check them after every session/match and replace if worn. Have been completely reliable thus far. Still, I just ordered a few replacement units to have on hand just in case.

GregJ Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Where do you guys get your shock buffs from? So far, I cant find anyone I shoot with that uses one in their CZ. I might get a few to try. Shock buffs have always been a hit or miss in 1911s, no I never ran one in my SS guns.

rowdyb Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 It will come with both thick and thin. In SP01 style guns I would suggest only the thin. The thick are good for Shadow 2 or TS. http://shop.cz-usa.com/ProductDetail/10911246_Recoil-Buffer-Set-Czub I to have broken two different slide stops. It surely does happen and is a known thing with our guns. Always carry one in your range bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I knew they were a wear item, so I always kept one in the bag. Will be more diligent on swapping this and trigger spring out at regular intervals. .

GregJ Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 New slide lock is interferring with safety. Anyone run into this? I can take some off either one, just very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 That's a different model slide stop. P series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregJ Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 The top end pictured is not the original, I bought it here as it had the optic cut. The gun is a 75 Shadow, and I do believe the new stop I got was for an SP01. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I thought the safeties (not decocker) were interchangeable betweenSP01 and shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I have I had ordered last year, obviously wrong, but I made it fit last night. Will use it as an emergency spare when I get the right ones. I have a couple on the way from CGW, will call them today to verify they are correct. tks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ85Combat Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I have 30,000 rounds on my Accu-Shadow and never had any problem with the mounting screws. does your milling have the locating post or only the screws holding the DPP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the CZ multi optic cut so it has the posts. Maybe it was just metal fatigue in a bad screw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncie21 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I run a pin only in my TSO (i.e. no slidestop functionality) and noticed half of it missing yesterday while practicing at the range. At $9/ea they are cheap enough to carry spares and change yearly if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 This company sells hardened pins (without the slidestop feature, so no hold open). They cost about $6 and will ship in an envelope. http://www.zendl.cz/ I bought 4 and have used the first one for training since 40K rounds back. Never broke the first one. On match day the original slide stop goes in and I track the round count in a Excel. I replace the match stop after 3000 or so rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywizzle Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) The 75 Shadow/SA uses the tumbler style safety. The SP-01 Shadow and newer SP01's use the "D-style" safety. The extended D-style safety has a relief cut so the safety can fully engage when using the extended slide stop. Check out this pic. I actually just bought a non-extended 75 slide stop by mistake if you want to trade me for that extended. Hit me up in PMs. Edited July 25, 2018 by Haywizzle typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I paid $10 for two so I have a few spares. I doubt either will ever break, they have a much closer tolerance to the slide stop pin hole.
