midatlantic Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Interested in trying .40 SW for limited. Already shoot CZ shadow 2 in production. Not sure how much commitment I want to make to the .40, so there are two relatively affordable routes - get a 75b in .40 and buy the Cajun kit (I do the work myself) or spend about the same amount, maybe $200 more, for one of the new Remington double stack 1911s in .40. Magazines will be one issues - I'll have to spring for high capacity CZ 75 mags, which will even out the price, more or less. Thoughts anyone? FYI I'm never going to be a GM...

Couldn't believe how light it was as well as the fit & finishSent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfoto Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 If they only made the 75B SA version in .40 your decision (and mine) would be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncie21 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 OP- consider a CZ Tactical Sport in .40. It is ready to shoot limited out of the box. May want to upgrade the mags if you prefer 20 to the factory 17s. The SAO trigger is <2#s from the factory, so you'll save some $$ in parts there. It does have a rather robust grip, so be sure to handle one before purchasing. At ~$1050 new, these are a pretty good deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlantic Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Unfortunately the TS grip is too large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlantic Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Given that I shoot a shadow in production and am used to the first trigger pull how much a disadvantage will it be in limited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(0.0 most of the time but there will be that stage once in a while where you start with a really tough shot and take more time to insure a smooth pull) Pure wild guess.

tdp88 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 CZ every day and twice on Sunday. I prefer the 2011 platform over CZ/Tanfo, but I would rather have a CZ than a Remington. I'm sure there are a lot of people here that shoot Remington and they run just fine, but I have never seen one run without a lot of work and they are just flat out ugly guns imo. Since you are already accustomed to the platform I also think it would be a much easier switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoRivera Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I shoot .40 in my SAO 'Longslide' Shadow in Limited 10, and love it. A bit of a 'rounder' push of recoil than 9mm, but still plenty controllable and fast. Being an all-steel gun certainly helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't replaced the hammer already, that would be another way to improve trigger pull as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gun I posted above is a SAO conversion from a normal SP01 frame, trigger from Armory Craft, CZ Custom SAO hammer, CZC Magwell and extended safety, and a fitted slide from a Tactical Sport...even an added thumb rest. Still legal for Limited. What's cool is that the TS slide that I got from a CZ Forum member was specifically milled on the dustcover to fit an SP01 frame, and the the slide is originally .40 caliber, but also came with a fitted 9mm conversion barrel so I can shoot both. So I shoot 9 when doing plates/steel or other matches that aren't power factor dependent, but then shoot .40 to make major in sanctioned USPSA matches.
