I am finally getting around to milling this one and will have to 'kote it.
So, red is a requirement. I have black LOK grips. What should we do with the color?  Attached FileI am sure you all know I cant leave well enough alone.  I did this  Attached Fileand this  Attached FileOh, and this. This was just to troll the Colt Purist.  Attached Fileone or two just stupid ugly things, but hey, these are toys, no fucks given. Now I gotta a wild hair to make a 75B into a Carry Optics Race gun. To play this game: 45 oz max weight unloaded and cleared. 140 mm mags (max) A red dot SA/DA or Striker fired (nope, well, maybe). I thought of the P10F......its #3 ish on the list. Phantom? I dont think I would like the Omega trigger, I cant seem to get the pretravel to my liking for heavy competition. nor the overtravel. Shadow 2? It would be the better choice, but it needs some shit chopped off, shes a little fatty. Its 46oz out of the box, with NO mag. Lots of milling, and a month out to get done. Sooner if I bribe a mofo. Hummmmm........... I have an SP-01, I could very well use it, but I kinda like how I did the trigger and it is what I like to bring out with freinds and family, to them its the worlds best trigger, but it is only about 65% of what I would use for competing. So, that is a no go. I could buy a NIB and go that route too. This may be the way I go if I dont like what I find on fixing an SRO on the 75B. SRO is not optional, thats what we are working around as the center piece. CZ is 90% of what I want to go with, as I cant think of a better SA/DA to build on. Sig? meh, I would sell it in 3 months  That said, we goona plan on a 75B and build it as fucking ugly as we can. |

So, I got this on the way (if I cannot pick up in NC while on biz travel).
Somehow USPSA says this is legal now on Production and Carry Optics. 
Hoping the LGS has an SRO in stock (5 moa) so I can grab that tomorrow. Still need to order: base pads for 1400 max I decided to run a dovetail plate until after the USPSA Louisiana Gator Classic. After that, I can send this out to get milled and coted. |

CDNN was running sales on them for $389. Hunt gunbroker as new ones pop up with no reserve. Some bigger stores run sales online. It is not one of CZ's faster moving models so stores have to drop the prices to clear some space. Gundeals has some in the low $400s.

for those curious....
I dug through my mag boxes. I have 8700 mags in this house, but only 3 full size 75 mags....WTF? 2 more Nickle mags inbound. $50 each shipped.
Got the new USPSA approved Thumbrest/Slide release ordered $120 shipped Dovetail SRO mount from CZC $90 shipped Going to swap the hammer and strut to a Cajun one.....$100 shipped I am going to use the OEM trigger to see how that works, if not, Cajun to the rescue. SRO should be here in the next week, I hope. Around $500 Should be a bad mofo when done I will still need the milling job and cote job done after Nov. so.....add up another $400 Half Cajunized = $200 SP-01 I think I paid around $600 So lets go with a $2,000 fucking pistol. I may have to sell off a Czechmate to recoup most of this $.....

Almost forgot.
Since this is pretty much a one of a kind pistol, it needed a one of a kind holster. I just happen to spend a weekend at a very good friends house, who is also a a holster maker near Fayetteville, NC It was a bit of a challenge due to the Dumbo ears sticking off the side, but it came out pretty nice.  Attached FileThere was a bit of material he tossed in the garbage can, and I just hated to see it go to waste. So I sorta did a dumpster dive with this. Had no clue what I was gonna do with it as I stared at it for about 87 seconds. Then it hit me..... Pimpin' yo!  Attached File |

well.... We will find out tomorrow how she runs in a match.
I am in Eastern NC (Greenville) and there is a Level 1 match about 11 miles from me. Will be running it in Limited, as I seem to not be able to find my 5th mag. I do have 2 more of the nickle ones, but they are sitting at my parents house in S. Florida. 4 should get me through Limited pretty easy. I am also curious as to if the locals are up to speed on the new gun rules. I am not really sure if it will fir in the box or not, but it is very close to the 1 5/8" width. Hopefully, I get squaded with some cool folks. |

Late update.
Ran the pistol in the match and did not go well. I had one stage that was what I would call normal. The others I had issues. I was running subsonic 9 (880 fps) which is normal, but I for got I had a 9lb recoil spring and it was just a tad slow, so I was really waiting on the slide to settle down. So, I switched to some hotter 124gr (1020 fps) and a 14 lb recoil spring. That did not go well either as it was just a bit to much. My first shots were almost dead center, but no clue on where the 2nd went on some of my more aggressive follow up shots.
I had to slow down too much and wait on the slide to settle. Being used to the open gun and rapid follow up shot habbit.... derp! Outside of that, The slide was a bit sticky. I had it lubed up pretty good hoping the slide would wear in the cam on the safety. nope. I was more focused on that than shooting. I had to take off more material with some diamond files. Here is a bit if size ref. shot. 9mm  Attached FileNot sure if you can see the cam I needed to fit. Just to the right of my thumb, that shiny part was protruding into the slide rail on the frame. Slide would hit it, sorta stick and then let go. It was a fast ordeal, but just enough to make me focus on that rather than shooting. (fitted images)  Attached File Attached FileI have that material removed now and it is very much done and works like a champ. |

Once I got that sorted out, I wanted to verify the new slide release was not catching......LOL, it was, but not too bad.
The boxed shape bit houses the slide rail. It was a bit snug. So, me, the file, and some work, and I opened it up a bit. A VERY small amount. Almost a 1000th past the finish. It is pretty daggon smooth now.  Attached FileI also had to smooth out the 90 deg corners of the same area...well, the right side of the box. It has to clear both the frame and the slide, which id did not. A bit of sandpaper and it worked, but It was still a bit snug. Diamond files to the rescue. Now it goes in with ease, allows the slide to move freely......doe NOT lock the slide back. But I dont really care to much on that. Only time I run dry is when I am an idiot. One good thing, if I do run dry during practice, I know immediately if I am anticipating .....so there is that benefit.  Attached FileI am in south Florida until Sunday morning, so I will shoot a steel match at Universal in Frostproof, Fl tomorrow to see how things go. Hoping I can find a 12lb spring today. |

OK, so I ran it is the match with a busted thumb. On Friday, I wanted to test this thing and the two new nickle mags along with some springs and rounds combos.
I needed to get gas, all was fine until I decided to slam my thumb in the car door. I have not done this in 40 F'n years. Funny as hell seeing me jump up and down at the gas pumps, screaming some impressive obscenities. 
 Attached Filewell, thumb all busted up, new toys, we're gonna choot it anyways. Ran like an effing top! Everything was as smooth as butter and 10# and 12# springs ran fine for both 124gr sorta hot (1020 fps) and 147gr subs (880 fps). I am digging it. I ran the match without any issues with the gun, but my por thumb was taking a beating. I think I got 8th over all. Between the thumb and thinking my front sight was a red dot, I screwed it up, but had fun and got to see how she would act in stupid fast mode. Shes gonna be a freakin' beast with the below thingie attached.  Attached Filemocked up, but for now, I will spoon the dovetail mount on there. No time to get it done before the La. match.

I almost forgot.
Since I was going through West Monroe La on my way home, I timed my trip to stop off at Cajun Gun Works. They are some of the nicest folks. I got some springs, and a bunch of backup parts along with other parts I wanted to swap out. Mainly the lanyard plug to a flat one. I also wanted them to critic my smithing work, I mean, what better place to get it looked at. 2# and 4#....and I learned I can get it down 1/2# more with some minor frame/hammer work. w00t! I wil do that when I break it down for coting and milling. I also found out I can make the new slide stop actually slide stop.....LOL I just have to file off all the material in the circled pic below. Not sure if I will bother or not. I have until the end of the month to decide.  Attached File |

You can pull those stock followers and dremel off the 2 legs that stick down to make your own grams style followers. Just round off the corner that wants to get stuck in the mag release slot.

I like having extra parts. I would hate to travel hours to a match only to have to come home over a follower or some other small part. OK, so that follower was not a send home item, but moar parts is good
I did order two more Hennings. They are stupid nice and the quality is outstanding. 100% Tool less (not counting the grip nut tool). I cant wait to get this thing milled and coted. I will probably do some sort of Cherry red or a red to come close to the baseplates, OR I will have some black to separate the color difference where it is not so noticeable. Its safe to say this pistol is on the top of my "Favorite CZs I have ever owned". I may just build a second one

Ok, lets build a second one.
This time we may just start with a Shadow 1. Got to find a good donor. Couple of reasons to do this: 1:) Im an idiot 2:) One is none, 2 is one 3:) See #1 Since the Dallas/Ft. Worth area has matches every weekend, being without a pistol for a few weeks would suck. So, we need to build a second one while the slide gets milled, then we send this one off to get milled. Plus a backup to use or lend out is a plus. I may do this on in bling mode though. Suggestions? |
