The Czickness.

That's very nice, TD. If you go to the Cajun Gun Works site they have spring kits for the Sphinx. It will, supposedly, make it the equal or perhaps better than a Cajunized CZ. Should be pretty inexpensive.

Why, why did you post that beauty? LOL. Never seen that model very nice, did that come from the factory with that finish?

 

[Birds Away]

I will be calling David and talking to him about it. I don't about putting springs in myself without instructions. God knows what kind of a mess I would make.

I know a guy...

I have a drill index fractional/numbers and letters. It has every size that anyone drills a hole with. I find the right size bit....cut it down and dress it out.....makes perfect pins etc.
I just list what I use (drills get a bit short...) and when I order from Brownells I add them to it.

Great idea!

To answer bjenkins, I have shot the Sphinx SPD Compact and it's awesome!

I may get the smack down for this, but here is goes anyway. Keep in mind I have drank the CZ kool aid and I am hooked.
I just sold today, my standard Rami for funds towards a SP-01 (been wanting to get one and Cajunize for a long time).
Well I made the mistake of going to Beech Grove Firearms with cash in hand. I walk in looking around I see what at first glance seems to be a bronze SP-01.

Upon closer examination, it was a Sphinx SPD compact, imported by Kriss USA from Switzerland. Man this thing looks very similar to a SP-01.

I buy it and head back to ITP and put 100 amazing rounds through this thing. I have two Cajunized CZ's from CGW. And in my humble opinion this sucker as stock is very close to a CZ that has had work done to it. This is a decocker model so I am betting if it were a safety model instead, it would be even smoother.

So I am going to set this in the safe next to all my CZ's and see if they get along.

Oh my!

Yes Sir, factory finish. They had a two tone also, but man it was over $200.00 more. I like this better anyway.

Hey that's right we have our own David right here. This is the first time I have had a gun in hand to Cajunize. The others I bought the gun and works from CGW.

Thoughts on this one? It's a 40b model.
ARMSLIST - For Sale/Trade: CZ 40B handgun with 4 magazines and custom grips

Uh oh.

I'm really intrigued by this model, looks like a 1911 and a CZ had a baby. I researched a little and see it was a joint operation between Colt and CZ, and it will accept CZ 75B .40 mags and also GregCote has 12rd mags for it. So here's my question, has anyone handled or shot one of these? It appears to be a good deal, but I can't find any other ones for sale anywhere to really compare to.

 

[churchmouse]

Mine is a 40 P I think. Been a while since I have seen it.....

Looks like a grown up RAMI. I think you should be the first of the group to tell us how it is....

I believe one of the guys who designed it also designed the RAMI. I am really considering this one, but had my eye on a P-09 or SP-01 also. Here we go again...decisions.

Those 2 can be had anytime... How often does a 40b come up for sale? I'd never heard of one, but I'm still getting my feet wet in CZ. Some quick searching has guys in 2012 saying $440 is too much for one of those. Maybe try to lowball the guy?

A quick search of GB completed listings shows 1 sold for $525 this year just less than a month ago. But yeah, I see people talking about paying $250 at Gander Mountain, but a few years back.

 

[T-DOGG]

I guess I should have searched more, I didn't realize how many past threads there are on the 40b and many many other CZ discussions on this site.

I have owned one. I like them. This particular deal is a little steep. He is trying to recoup the money he spent on the grips. Usually these guns are in the $400 range. He has extra mags which is a plus but one of them has problems so . It is from the same line that started with the Colt Z40 and eventually became the 40P. It is on my "to get" list and this appears to be a nice example but I wouldn't pay this guy for his poor choice in grips.

The RAMI design comes directly from this gun.

A 40B comes up on GB four or five times a year. There was recently one that went through several times without any bids. I wouldn't go for this one unless he agreed to keep the grips and sell them separately.

 

[bjenkins]

Good morning to all! Been up researching the Sphinx, cant seem to quit thinking about it. Is that normal BA?

This is spot on to what I noticed and the same thing I was thinking about the grips. There were I think 3 listings at $499 that didn't bid/sell and the 1 at $525 that did. I have my doubts that he will sell without those grips. I might try and ask though, downside is that I then have money wrapped up in gas and travel time to Indy for it.
