russ2506 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Why no factory or aftermarket slides available for CZ-75? The barrels don't need to be fit in my experience. I would like to have a second slide for optics competition shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 You mean like a carry optic CZ75 Bull Shadow slide? They are a bit pricier than any aftermarket Glock slide and they require removal of the firing pin lifter. Some material from the dustcover may need to be removed.

russ2506 Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Yes but bull barrel is not IDPA legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunachaser Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I got a complete slide from CZ Custom. I had them mill it for an optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ2506 Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 When was this? I'm waiting to hear back from them but heard they have no slides. Did you use your barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Cz is a great gun but never try to compare it to a Glock or 2011 for aftermarket parts and availability. It’s got me looking to another platform for my competition guns. unless your oversees then it’s a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertTortoise Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Slides do come up for sale in the classifieds from time to time. Not sure if there is a factory source though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight is only issue: A.1.1.5, A.2.1.3, Weigh 43.00 oz. or less unloaded, with the heaviest magazine inserted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a bit better than my soa shadow target 2. I will let you know about the grips. I am interested in the grips. Let me mull it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not desperate to sell them but not reserved either. I am gonna try a Springer Precision dovetail optics mount just to see if the gun is gonna make me happy to compete with. The mount is only 50$. If I like it after a few club matches, I am going to go ahead and get my slide milled. Hopefully I will run across an irons only slide down the road.

I can't molest a mint marauder or cz unless 100% certain I love green dot. I'm going with holosun 507 comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhemi Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) I've never seen CZ offer standard slides but CZ Custom does have some custom slides you can buy or have made for you. I own a Bull Shadow slide and CZC also custom built a complete Bullseye upper for me which is based on the Tac Sport upper. MMC and russ2506 if you are looking for a 75 upper let me know I do have a few that I'd be willing to let go of. Here's the Bullseye upper on a 75b SA frame.
