The CZickness VII

[T-DOGG]

Are you going to jump on it? I don't know if I've seen any other 75Bs in .40 with a nickel finish. Kind of a unicorn of sorts.

Yes. I mean No. I mean um....I'm checking with my internal purchasing advisor?

Glad that's not me!!!

I'm still waiting on my pony ride from BA...

So which one gets to wear the saddle?

 

[RustyHornet]

I would just like to formally announce, DIBS, if Travis buys that nickel 40.

Who said anything about saddles? Thought nekked was the way to do things round here.

Snap, I think we just need to leave this one alone.

I agree. I just had dinner.

For what little this is worth, don't do a 40.
And really don't get a 40 if you are thinking you might sell it.

So after weeks of tortureing me, I'm now returning the favor on T-DOGG. This is kinda fun.

In moments of weakness....I hate you.

I came to the sad realization that there is no Bruin in my immediate future. When I added up the cost of the P01, Pro kit, the sets of VZ grips and other stuff, I realized that I spent the gun budget way down below Bruin territory. Oh well, it's been fun to catch up on some other things. There are still some projects that need addressed though, like that 75A with the missing sight. There is also the refinish of the Kimber. That gun would look good in burnt bronze with carry cuts and polished flats on the slide. Add an EGW ignition kit and it might just turn into a nice little 1911.

 

[RustyHornet]

Oh no! He's turned it around on me!

Anyone happen to know which recoil spring I should throw in my rat rod? I bought the kit and won't have time to hit the range for awhile to test.

 

[88E30M50]

Dang, double post.

I don't remember the stock recoil spring rate. Are the CGW springs?

Having troubles with my pictures today... Anyways my CZ 75 compact got lonely. The CZ 75 D compact PCR is my new favorite. Loved shooting it today! With the aluminum alloy frame the decreased weight is quite noticeable. Fully loaded it feels about the same as the steel frame empty and no mag. You guys were right. You can't buy just 1. LOL

Yes CGW. I've got a 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14lb. Hammer spring is 11.5lb if that makes difference.

Nice family you have there. The compacts are among my favorites to shoot. I just picked up a P01 and really like the feel the aluminum frame gives the gun.

It looks like the stock spring is 16lbs for 9mm and .40. I'd start with the 14# and work down until you have cycle issues.

Edit: Also, pay attention to the ejection distance. If you are launching brass over 8 to 10 feet, you might want to go a bit higher with the recoil spring.

Thanks. It carries really well. I found a couple holsters I really like and a bunch of spare mags. I really like the 16 round mags I bought from Greg Cote. It almost feels as good as a Hi-Power in my hand.

Has anybody owned/shot a P-01 and did not like it? I don't see them for sale "used" very often, seems like most people keep them. I think there's something to that.
