Anyone have a CZ 85 Combat and can measure a part for me?

[zonzin]

I have a Sphinx AT2000PS and the slide stop broke and trying to get a replacement is becoming very difficult. So it was recommended that I try a CZ85 slide stop as it is also an ambidextrous type and may be a direct fit. Before I drop the coin on one I was hoping someone with an 85 could take some measurements for me for comparison. If you can,, in need micrometer measurements for the dimensions in the pic below. It will be much appreciated.

You are in luck, the stops are nealy identical

You are in luck, I compared a CZ85 slide stop to an EAA Witness and the dimensions are nearly identical; I was very surprised. I installed the CZ slide stop in the EAA and is works (fit in, slide locks open on empty magazine, does not lock open if there are rounds in the magazine), but does stick out of the frame by an extra .090. There may need to be some "fitting", since the part of the stop that locks the slide ("bump") is slightly larger (by a few thousands) than the EAA stop.

The CZ slide stop is .195 in diameter, 1.205 long and the flats on the end are .123 across. The EAA stop is .196 in diameter, 1.100 long and there is only one flat; the outside diameter to flat is .163. On the CZ, the distance from the inside of the bar (.195 dia) to the inside face of the "bump" is .498, the distance outside face of bar to outside face of "bump" is .887. On the EAA, the same measurements are .516 and .893. On the CZ, the height of the "bump" is slightly more than the EAA; sorry I did not write down the dimensions.

I also measured an EGW slide stop bar, it is .197 in diameter and 1.160 long. It could be modifed to fit one end of your slide stop lever, but would not hold the slide open.

BTW the width of the CZ frame and the EAA frame, at the location of the slide stop, and there are within .001 of each other (1.001" wide). I tried swapping slides, but the grooves are different; the EAA fits very loosely on the CZ, the CZ won't even start to fit on the EAA frame.

Thanks for checking it out for me. I don't think is will work though. I sure hope SA comes through for me,, they are kinda balking right now.

Isn't KRISS USA the distributor for Sphinx pistols? Maybe you can contact them for spares.

Contact Walt Sherrill on either the cz forum or on thehighroad.com forum. He use to be a moderator on the cz forum and he owns sphinx pistols , cz pistols and witness I think. May be he can help you out on what will fit. Mark

They are but they said they don't stock parts and won't order unless the demand is there for a big order. They said it could be months before they do.
