I bought a SP-01 on gunbroker a short while ago and it came with a custom shop hammer and a trigger job by Pawel Janusz as well. After about 600 rounds it was as smooth as I thought a gun could get, but I didn't like the length of the reset so I bought Cajun Gun Work's SRS-2 kit and a new disconnect and installed them last Sunday. I also did all the steps in the Shemeckys' smoothing the action thread and the thread by KonigsTigerII on disassembly and polishing that are on the CZ forum. Lastly, I took CGWs advise and bent the trigger bar rest spring arms so that they engage the grooves in the bottom of the trigger bar more precisely. Being a tinkerer by nature it was a very enjoyable day in itself,but the best was yet to come. I have been to the range and have to say I was wrong about the gun being as smooth as gun could be before. It is amazing. The SA is like silk with the block still in just as CGW promised it would be and the reset is at the very least 60% shorter. I deliberately fed it a mixture of cheap range ammo brands and even with the 11.5# mainspring it has been perfect. There isn't a thing I'd change on it now.

Oh, and by the by, when we meet up on Aug 6th, I'll have the Browning Buckmark and my wife will have her Sig p226 (in 22lr) there as well.

I don't own one, but I handled a S&W 1911 E series and it felt absolutely incredible in my hands. For some reaon it feels solid and just sits on the bull better than any other 45 I've handled. researched it online and once it's had a few rounds down the pipe the love affair begins.

Need a good laugh, you have to see this: There's nothing funny about a plane crash, but this is funny

I have a CZ SP-01 and couldn't be happier, but they are quite hard to find overall right now and therefore quite expensive. I am told by those who should know that there will be no new Sp-01 variants around until around Oct-Nov due to the high demand here and abroad. Bought that over the 75b mainly because I like the extra weight and the way it sits in my hand. The 75b is an excellent choice too and is out there esp on gunbroker so you may be able to find a NJ shop that can get you one. Accuracy and reliability is their claim to fame. As I told someone before, I shoot on Monday mornings at Easton and am more than willing to meet up if you want to try mine. If I hadn't bought a CZ, the S&W CORE and the Beretta 92 were right up there for me. All were in 9mm for the same reason, I really like shooting a lot and the ammo is reasonably priced and can be found.

How does the follower on the mecgar compare to the sig mags? I had two promags that wouldn't lock the slide back on my CZ sp-01 and after I compared them with the cz mags, and shaped the top of the followers with my dremel they too have been flawless. Might be the same with your Sig.

My wife has the Sig p226 classic 22lr. The only ammo it hasn't liked is Federal Automatch. Not a single misfire or FTF with any variety of CCI, Federal hollow points, or Standard Plus. Not all ranges gouge on price, Heritage Guild in Easton, Pa for example. Downside of the sig is that 9mm conversion kit is impossible to find at the moment, although the 40 is available. 40 cal is runing around $19 for 50. Also, the slide doesn't lock back after the last shot using 22 cal., but there is an easy, inexpensive fix for that. We also love the Buckmark and the Mark III if you get a 22 only and they eat absolutely anything. Great triggers and ergos too. CZ also makes conversion kit that will work on many models. Right now it's close to impossible to get. The only one I have seen for sale in the last 4 months was priced at almost $500. Ridiculous. Quite the expensive way to go. I don't buy the idea that you need to support the local dealer if he's charging crazy prices, but it's the way to go when it's even close to competitive pricing.

If what I read is true, a mag that was permanently modified by a gunsmith is legal. The rest is questionable and as you see from the above there are a lot of correct answers.

Sorry if I confused you but I shoot at Heritage in Easton. Oh and to Blizzarddemon re the price at Heritage, I think it was $20/hour for non members with a 5X for $75 available as well. Membership with unlimited free range time was around $250/year and included other benefits as well. It's all on their web site.

Sounds too dumb to be real

You owe it to yourself to get over to Heritage Guild for a lot of reasons. As you already know they rent and have a very large variety of guns in the rental program in all calibers. They always have ammo on the shelf at very reasonable prices and I shoot there every week. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly (except for Janice who's all business). The ROs are very helpful to experienced and noobs alike and once they know you they will often let you swap out guns during a session so you can try more than one in one session. You can hop on 78 and once you cross the border into PA it's 5 minutes. Also you can download their listing of rental guns online although they have added quite a few recently and may not be totally up to date. I did the same thing you are trying to do about 3 months ago and liked it there so much I became a member getting decent discounts on all services and purchases. I tried 8 or 9 different 9mms and finally ended up buying a CZ sp-01 which I had never even held before. Once I got it, with the experiences I'd had a Heritage I was sure I'd made the right choice and without that trial, I'd probably always wonder because I really liked several of them just not as much. So all in all I vote for the ride out. By the way, I shoot on Mondays in the late AM and if you ever need to try the SP-01 you can PM me. Costs a bit more right now but worth every penny.

I don't know if it's a rare find, but it definately NOT a piece of junk. I bet there's a lot of guys on the forum who would take it off your hands for your purchase price. I know one already!

Good luck and happy shooting. Anxious to see pics.

One of the biggest reasons I did it this way is so it can be cleaned easily. I don't see how you could make enough of a dimple in the mag body to stop the follower, but I didn't really look at it that way so now I will. My point on the mod I did is that I don't have possess the unmodified plates nor do I even have them elsewhere so how could I change it back. Not owning the plates is like not owning the hicaps if you know what I mean. If you have to go out and buy something you could go out and buy hicaps just as easily.

I've read threads relating to this issue on the forum recently, and it seems that the NJ law regarding this is a bit fuzzy (imagine that) so what do you think? I just got my CZ SP-01 and it came with two 19 round magazines. While I have two 14 round promags that I altered to have it lock the slide after the last round and function much smoother than stock, the CZ supplied mags are so nice looking with their extended butts that I decided to make them 'legal', so I welded a piece of metal stock that I had cut and shaped onto the butt plate. I welded it due to the thread that said it needs to be irreversible, and that welding rather than pins would fit the bill. It now accepts only 15 rounds, but if you went out and bought or made two regular butt plates and swapped them in for the welded ones, you could get it back to 19. I think that since these are permanently fixed to accept 15 and I have no other butt plates, it should be legal. I'd point out that just about any 15 round mag out there can be make to take at least one more round if you are willing to do a little altering so I don't see why these are any different than them now legally speaking. So, let's have some opinions.

Just about everything but hip hop, but especially blues rock.

You tekkies get all the good stuff! I cannot monitor a computer while at work so I just try to get lucky with gunbot

The wife and I finally used up all the permits. Grueling task good thing we've trained!

I second DSD on the gunbot idea. You have to watch out for the shipping from some of the dealers though

We've been to the range with the mags I modified and put maybe 300 rounds down range with no problems of any kind. I changed the springs in two of the mags to the new ones but cut down by about 3 inches and two with original springs. No difference except the original springs, being shorter, allowed easier loading. By the way the 226 was not the least bit finicky about ammo, firing Cci mini-mags and regular, Federal auto match, Federal bulk pack hollow points, and Standard plus which is the oiliest, greasiest bullet ever. No FTF, FTE or any other issue. We used the mini mags first to give the springs a good push but soon found it was willing to eat anything.

Wife's 3 weeks

I believe they told me $20.99/50 but I'll double check next Monday if I remember.

remixer I got a chance to use that 9mm Core last week. Very sweet gun. To the OP, Heritage Guild in Easton PA just not a large number of S&Ws in. You might want to give them a call. Moderate pricing and nothing beats finding what you want in stock.

22lr = $3.99 for 50, 100 round limit 9mm = $16.99 for 50 115 grain, also 100 rounds. Not sure on other calibers but they will sell the 9mm to members for general use, but the 22s are to be used at that session on the range though you can buy 100 and only use 50 if you are so inclined. It's hard/impossible for me to stop at 50. I would be glad to check on others if someone needs to know.
