The real question is what do "You" feel it is worth...???

 

[llh1956]

The CZ Wizard only has three CZs.

Lets say 4 with the scorpion!!

 

[Birds Away]

Barrels...???

CZs.

Obviously too much ;p. I was wondering because the market on CZs is so volatile . The barrel was $220, $550ish for the pistol.

I have bought 2 of those barrels from CZ Custom. I have winced every time but the quality is stellar. Guns were tack drivers.
Is it already posted up somewhere..??

 

[turnandshoot4]

No, instead of posting without a clue of the market and getting into a haggling war I figured I'd ask.

CZ 75-B Nickel 40 S&W : Semi Auto Pistols at GunBroker.com

That does look nice, but I'm not crazy about the front slide profile. I like the standard 75B profile much better, if for no other reason than it fits the holsters I own.

So, I was finally able to get my upgraded CZs to the range yesterday. I was excited to try the CGW bushings that I installed on both my SP-01 Shadow and my TS. In addition to installing the bushings, I installed a fiber optic front sigt on the TS and an adjustable rear.

I shot some using a sandbag rest to try to test the pistols more than my marksmanship, which was lackluster yesterday at best. My review is subjective because I never shot either pistol using a rest in the past.

THe TS was a LASER. It was very, very accurate. It also maintained that accuracy across the 3 different 9mm loads that I put through it from 115 grain FMJ, 124 HP, and 124 grain CMJ.I was super pleased and felt that there was improvment in accuracy. That being said, it could also be that the fiber optic sights are a lot nicer than the stock sights and that tightened the groups. I was trying my grips as well and determined that I like the stock walnut grip on the right side and the czc aluminum grip with skate tape on the left side. It provides sortof a palm swell feel.

The Shadow was a different story. It was pretty accurate with my go to load, however it only seemed to shoot the 124 CMJ and accuracy fell sharply with the 115 FMJ. The 124 HP were about 6-7 inches left at 10 yards! I thought this thing was finnicky about ammo before, but now it seems to be even more so. I had several failures with the shadow during the outing. I think I am solid, if I stick with my ONE load which is meant to mimick the S&B 124 FMJ. I have the czc aluminum grips with skate tape for this Shadow and I find that I prefer the stock grips. With the aluminum grips, I just can't maintain a stable grip with firing and bare hands.

Interestingly, while I was there, another gentleman came in with a CZ TS! He tried my Llh tuned Shadow and says, "well, I would trade my TS for that!" As I already have a TS, my Shadow made it home.

I am thinking about ways to improve the versatility of my shadow and eliminate the ammunition woes. I just don't know. My experience with mine seems atypical. I have found the TS to be able to accept a longer OAL and have never had malfunction with it despite trying and experimenting with different reloads.

I am surprised no one has chimed in as yet.

I mean as to value.

I would be interested. Just need to know a price point.

WT was right.
