I'm at just under 500 rounds in the two weeks I've had the CZ and there have been zero issues. It's a very well put together 1911 and has zero MIM inside. From the factory, the trigger broke at a bit over 4 lbs. I'm starting to stone and polish the internals and am shooting for a tad over 3 lbs. Everything I've seen on this gun has been top notch. From the tool steel parts to the Hogue grips, it's nicely done.

Getting classy with my Range Officer. Added ivory VZ double diamonds and a Pearce finger grove grip. Love it.

Those grips look fantastic on that R.O.

Thanks! I was a little nervous because I ordered the slim lines without ever feeling a pair. I don't have small hands, but it feels great! Only problem is going to be keeping them clean as I do carry this 50% of the time.

AllenM has worked his magic for me.
No one makes a comped commander length barrel so he took a 6" Clark barrel, fit it up, cut it down, threaded it for the Clark Comp. I already had and fit up a special Clark bushing as well. I am most anxious to get this home.
I did the Ignition controls, mag well etc before this work. Might get to see some EDC duty.

That turned out very well. Have you shot it yet? If so, how's the comp compare to your full size 1911s?

AllenM shot it last night and is smiling about it so I am anxious to get it to the range. If the comp. takes even a bit of the bark out of it this will see EDC duty.

No he hasn't shot it yet but I have Accuracy wise it is outstanding. I was shooting run of the mill federal ammo so it was hard to tell how well the comp was working but I could definitely tell a difference. I think with full power loads is where it will shine.

Usually the comps take some velocity and gas to work properly. Even so the extra weight in the muzzle will keep the gun down.

Since CM is now recoil shy (that happens with age) I would recommend a 9mm 1911.

I finally added a 1911 to my collection. It's a Springfield Armory GI. I've got a set of brown plastic grips coming, I will probably change the thumb safety at some point.
