What is the hot CZ for USPSA Production Division

jtischauser · Dec 24, 2011

Since I wont be able to shoot my Glock 34 with its 1.5# trigger in 2012 I am gonna have to get into the CZ market. Actually my Glock is around 3.5 but ever since I shot a guys CZ in Phil's level 2 class I have wanted one.

So what is the hot setup? Where can I get it? What is it gonna cost me?

The new rules don't take effect until 2013. You have a little time to find a new set up.

The CZ for production now is the Shadow.
I don't know if Matthew Mink is still doing custom work.
You can look at your options at this link.

A buddy just got his Shadow from Mink. I would 100% get one if I was shooting production. From what I hear Minks work is superior to Angus.

The shadow is a 9mm.
What is going to be the hot gun in .40?

Wall · Dec 25, 2011

Dennis, for production, since their is no maj power factor, you won't see many .40's

I could talk about CZ's all damn nite.
Any of the Shadow variants will do the job. There's a lot of choices in them now, mostly sight options and finish.
An adjustable rear sight would be nice.
If I were buying a 2nd CZ today (for a back up competition gun) I'd get a 75 Shadow because it'd be IDPA legal (always bugged me that the Shadow was too good to be legal in IDPA) The 75 Shadow has a short dustcover...the regular Shadow has a full dust cover.
They need some tuning, there's a few tricks to learn along the way.

Demand for the CZ is going to go up if the Production rule changes come to be. The days of seeing a bargain in the classifieds are over.
Buy one from CZ Custom or Matt Mink. They both do awesome work. Matts will have a lighter trigger. I once had a 75SA from Matt...the trigger was telepathic, best trigger I've ever felt on any gun.

The Shadow is DA/SA, mine is 5lbs on the DA and just under 2lbs in SA with no 'wall' I've forgotten the numbers, but I shoot my fastest splits with my Shadow, even faster than a rimfire. Its not all trigger of course, the gun is heavier than my Limited gun, with a fairly light slide, shooting 132pf loads thru a 10lb recoil spring it kicks just a little more than an airsoft gun;-)
CZ's in general, and the Shadow in particular are crazy accurate.

Robert,

I know a buddy just got one from Mink but do you know for sure if Mink is still working on cz's. Also do you have an email for him?

PM sent. Matt is still working on guns, but it is not his day job.

That ruling will probably be rescinded.

bsdubois00 · Dec 26, 2011

Figured I'd give prod a try. My gunsmith seems to have forgot my limited gun.

Lance Jensen · Dec 26, 2011

You should try this Guy named olyeller on OSA... I hear he's pretty good!

bsdubois00 · Dec 26, 2011

He's the guy with my money. Damn crook. Lol

jtischauser · Dec 26, 2011

Olyeller is a geniusk! I got Cyreus from osa working in my CZ.

bsdubois00 · Dec 26, 2011

That's what I get for listening to some guy named JessIe

Scott Hearn · Dec 26, 2011

jtischauser · Dec 26, 2011

Just think what some dude from California thinks about sending his elephant dung to olyeller in the cellar after reading this thread. You gotta really want the best elephant dung possible!!!
