MissionaryMike Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) They issue of its practicality aside, it definitely seems to be machined well. I really like the lines. I do question the round trigger guard, as well, but that’s just personal preference. There’s no doubt the quality of the steel itself and the machining are too notch.

spook Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I love that the grips attach with two screws AND fall into a cutout in the frame. The one screw grip on the CZ/Tanfo guns are quite a design flaw, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it interesting that the 2011's I owned had one cosmetics only screw and one that actually does something. I guess they thought buyers would think things looked flimsy? I think the CZ/Tanfo issue came about because we want to use non-compressible grips with the 1 screw mounting system that was made for wood or rubber. Some of the suppliers (Lok for example) have figured out that you need a means to hold tension and started adding rubber washers or equivalent. I'm having good luck with making sure I have a rubber washer or small lock washer for tension and using loctite blue on the screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Loctite or washers are a good way to prevent the screws backing out. But the one screw design makes it hard to design grips that don't develop some amount of play and start to pivot around the one screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what you pointed out might be why I had to file a bit to fit the grips to the gun, that and the fact that Tanfo seems to look at dimension specs as just a suggestion. So far, once fit and they are fine. Had purchased some ceramic grips before (CZ) & they rocked a smidge and I found it distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it can distract. And when shot enough, plastic grips can break in the area closest to the hammer. I had that happen twice. Two screws eliminates this completely. Glad to see CZC fixed it.

jripper Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 I've not had any problems with any of my CZs and grips. I run LOKs on most of them. I don't use the o ring. Occasionally the screw works loose, but not that much. Otherwise they fit perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jripper Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 I'm not sure I'm going to like a 50 ounce 9mm for production, but I'll probably end up getting one and trying it. I'm not super thrilled about the mag choice, as I've got a good supply of 75 mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooldylocks Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 52 ounces to tame the mighty beast which is 9mm minor. That's a lot. Perhaps some would even say excessive. I do think it looks cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder what benefit the P-09 mags bring to the table The P09 mags have better capacity compared to the SP01. Using the P09 mags would let this pistol be able to swap to 40 and not be at a capacity disadvantage like the SP01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, especially for limited class which wouldn't have the restriction of having it make it on the production list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 9mm I believe the capacity is the same: 19 rounds in about the same mag length, definitely an advantage for .40 though. I have no interest in this gun, but love the idea of CZC making complete guns in the US. What I would lkke to see is an aluminum frame SP01 with checkering like an S2 and a wider/flatter slide like a P09 designed from the ground up to be easy to cut for optics.

Garmil Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Wish they would make a heavry steel frame that accepts p-09 slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garmil Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 They're cheap guns/slides, factory threaded versions, comps made for them. Factory frame for carry, heavy for just shooting or comps, wouldnt mind for a suppressor host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
