Cz 75 Standard Ipsc

[Brian Payne]

Questions for the experts,

I am picking up a CZ 75 Standard IPSC .40 S&W this weekend. I have done searches on different forums regarding this weapon and have received good feedback except for a couple of items.

It appears this weapon has had problems with the rear sight coming apart under the force of recoil battering the weapon. Some people have installed a Springco recoil reducder with good results. I have ordered one, but they stated to make sure and use the black factory shock buffs along with the recoil reducer. My gun is used and it did not come with any spare parts or shock buffs. It looks like it was built in 2000. Serial number is between 1500 and 2000. I contacted CZ-USA and they told me to get shock buffs from Buffer Technology and they don't sell them anymore.

Questions are as follows:

How should the shock buff be installed with the recoil reducer?

Will this save the rear sight from sheering pins?

What recoil spring weight are you using?

Does anyone make aftermarket sights?

I did get some 17 rd. mags from CZ-USA and find that Taylorfreelance makes +2 base pads also.

Thanks for any help
