CA CZ fans don't worry if you can't get your Shadow before SSE ends

This is basically the same thing with the adjustable rear sight.

Right, that's the TS slide... the CTS slide has already been modified to fit, as CAGLS said.

If you see my project thread I actually contemplated on doing it by hand with Arkansas stones, then I woke up as I envisioned myself not getting anywhere with it ending up with a horrible surface finish and still having to send it out to get it refinished. So after reading on the CZ forum a member went the logical route and had CZC do it as they currently have the CNC programmed for their production of the CTS.

Well I never saw your thread until I discovered the problem, haha. Stuart assured me that it could be done in a few hours with a hand file ...

After getting close with an end mill, I used some finer files to get the fit really close.

I did increase the tolerances since I do plan on getting the slide and frame Cerakoted down the road. Right now it is a sweet shooter and I can transfer it to the SP01 or the SA frames in a few seconds.

I am pretty sure my Slide is a CTS slide and it was nowhere near close to fitting any CZ75 frame.

I suppose there are a few different models of CTS.

Their website doesn't indicate that.

My CZC modified TS slide normally lives on my SP-01 Shadow Target frame but put it on my polished stainless 75b frame for fun.

These look like different frames

It says "loosely based on the CZ 75 Tactical Sports", so maybe it's an SP-01 frame that the re-profiled the dust cover to look like a TS?

I see what you mean.

The first one is a milled down Tac Sport frame with a Tac Sport Slide.

The second is a CZ 75 SA frame with a CTS Slide. I have this slide and I am 100% certain it was originally meant for the TS frame.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say...

From what I've seen from CAGLS, the CTS slide that's on the 75 SA frame is a milled down TS slide. It sounds like you had the unmodified slide from a TS frame rather than an already modified CTS slide. I would think that a CTS marked slide from a CTS built on a 75 SA should already fit, but I don't really know. I'm not trying to argue with you of course, I'm just trying to learn all I can so I don't have trouble when I order one.

I agree and it is nice to know we are on the same page.

Great. After I spent my next to last SSE slot on another Shadow. LOL
