buddy_fuentes Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I bought a CZ Tactical Sport in 9 mm and plan to use it for steel. I have used 1911's for over 40 years and I like the thumb safeties by Brown, Wilson, Les Baer, and so on. The CZ has a nub of a ambidextrous thumb safety and I would like to change it. I would like a single side safety that is more like a 1911's. Does anyone make it and does it have to be fitted like a 1911? Thanks, Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Buddy Angus just set up a CNC machine in his shop and is working on a design to solve that problem. Should be out in a month or so. Here is the prototype: http://www.czcustom.com/images/custom_guns/TS_ext_safety.jpg Frankly, I shaved my grip in a way that my hand rides up a bit more and I no longer have a problem with the safety. Mine looks more like the bottom one now: http://www.czcustom.com/images/custom_guns/TS_9mm.jpg Hope this helps, Shay Edited January 30, 2008 by Shay1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjohn Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 These have been supposedly "imminent" for a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shay1911 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I guess it doesnt look hard to copy that with some JB weld or just weld a new piece of metal to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken hebert Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Why don't you just get your good buddy Bill Caldwell to fabricate one for you...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I guess it doesnt look hard to copy that with some JB weld or just weld a new piece of metal to it. I think the original ones that Angus made or had made up for him were welded up from CZ parts. Angus showed prototypes a long time ago - but I am guessing the problem was mass-producing what is really a hand-made part on a cost-effective basis. Tanfoglio has had these for a while - but the safety detent systems are completely different from the CZ's system. Looking forward to whatever comes out for the TS.
