Cco in ccp box

[f2benny]

I am thinking of getting a 9mm cco for ccp this year. Not interested in comments related to other gun options. Specifically I'd like to hear if anyone has set up a gun for ccp and their experiences. Weight and size seem perfect in paper. I think i can get a magwell in too. Looking at three fusion cco too, but other suggestions of interest appreciated. Pm-c?

I’ve used a Range Officer compact with a Techwell Magwell. Pretty good combination with Wilson Combat compact magazines. Won’t break the bank either. I’m sure there are nicer more expensive options, but I’m not sure they will get you a better score.

Great. I wish that the RO compact was available with a steel frame. Did you have any width or height issues?

No issues with fitting the box. But, yeah a steel frame would be nice.

Bluemooncricket what does your gun weigh?

It weighs about 36 oz loaded. I don’t remember the empty weight because I knew it would be well under the 38oz CCP maximum.

I have two Colt Gunsite CCOs that I have carried for a decade. This year I bought a Springfield RO compact so I could get more practice time with a 9 v the recoil of a 45.

It is my understanding that if you say CCO it means that the frame is light with a 4 inch length.

FYI: the Springfield is OK, but I would not buy it again.

Cco means officer frame with commander slide. Some are steel frames. What didn't you like about the range officer compact?

A true CCO has a commander length slide (4.25”) with a bushing and an officer length grip. The frame material has no bearing on the designation.

Once again it is OK, with issues.

1.     First time out the lock, locked the gun up. Would not fire.

2.     It took 4 tries over 8 weeks to get Springfield to replace the mainspring housing. They sent the wrong part 3 times.

3.     When correct MSH showed up I had used the time to have a good smith work on the trigger so it was lighter and clean.

4.     The grip safety with the trigger work and new MSH no longer engages.

5.     Last, and probably most important is accuracy with all ammo and multiple shooters is crappy.

It should go back to Springfield, and they have offered. But that means they will not let it leave the shop with the GS not engaging, so there probably goes the trigger work. And, I have to take a day off and sit around waiting for return delivery.

 

Nothing earth shaking, nothing horrible, just all PITAs.

Last, the finish is just cheap looking and the gun has sharp edges all around. I wonder if Springfield would work the exterior? If they do the sharp parts would it require more money to refinish?

I've had no problems at my club with my CCO.  Just go out and buy a Colt Combat Commander and a Colt Officers Model, swap the parts and sell the rest. Gave it to my pistolsmith to iron out any issues and was good to go.
