tell us about your pistol, cz?
It's a CZ Tactical Sport (TS) in 9mm. The TS is a Single Action Only and came from the factory with a trigger pull of about 1lb14oz.
It's definitely a heavy gun. I cut down the front of the frame to gain back a bit of weight until I was right up against the serial numbers but also just think it looks cool. I removed the terrible cast checkering from the front and rear of the grip, undercut the trigger guard, raised the beaver tail, and used a hand checkering file to add 20 LPI checkering to the back strap. The grips started life as some second hand blue aluminum grips that I cut down to fit the mag well and polished up to match the finish of some of the other parts.
I installed the CZ Competition hammer which reduced the trigger pull another few ounces and cleaned up the break and reset. Also installed a CZC aluminum trigger (factory is plastic), CZC large magwell, CZC 140mm base pads, and the new CZC springs and followers. It holds 23 in the magazines and has been 100% reliable.
I have a Dawson Fiber Optic Front sight on it and also put in a set of Dawson LPA cut Fiber Optic adjustable rear sights. The grip tape is evident from the picture but most interesting is likely the grip tape on the slide. As you know the slide profile of the CZs doesn't leave much room for grabbing on for racking the slide so the grip tape has significantly helped me to get a better grip on the gun for all of those empty chamber reloads. Maybe in the future I will send it off to get a slide racker installed instead.
I had planned to refinish the slide and frame but the worn look has grown on me so this is how it stays for now.
I also have a SP01 Shadow that has had a lot of work done to it and sometimes I think about just shooting that for 3 gun. The TS trigger is great but the trigger reset isn't as positive as it is on my SP01 so I find myself having to bring my finger off the trigger a bit more for fast doubles.
