How are you liking the IM slide? What are the benefits of using it?
Click to expand...
So far not a single failure to feed or extract. I think a lot of people who have problems with their IM slides haven’t broken in their internals yet. Bear in mind I’m also running a 11lb recoil spring so no failures was surprising to me but I had about 1000 rounds into the gun before switching to the impact slide. I shot 500 rounds when I first got the slide and after that I took it home an polished all the contact points. Used 600 grit then used metal polishing compound and a dremel to fine polish it. But before that I had polished the feed ramp and the barrel with the dremel as well. Benefits of it is you don’t have to mill out your OEM slide if your ever want to resell or risk someone messing up your OEM slide if you send it off to get milled. Also now with the impact slide you can fit p320 holsters per impact and safari land 7000 holsters if you’re into that.

There are CZs still on roster, yes. But all of those are discontinued. In 2023, CZ changed its manufacturing process, causing all then-currently manufactured pistols to be removed from the roster. Because that was a change in the manufacturing process, it didn't affect the pistols that were not manufactured anymore.

In other words, you cannot go to a LGS and purchase any CZ brand new. But if you find one off gunbroker (with correct serial number of course), you can have them shipped in as an on-roster pistol. PPTs are of course still fine, and there's a ton of CZs floating around in CA in general.
 
I'll throw a couple of my CZs on here.

I collect more than I shoot, but these are my all time favorites.

Nice. I have a full size DWX and love it. I would like to get a compact but not at California prices.

I was actually looking for a full size as I don’t own any full size pistols other than a CZ75 (I have smallish hands so compacts usually fit better) and I wanted it for competition, but the compact popped up via response to a WTB add and I just got my CCW so I figured what the hell. I’m qualifying with it to add to my permit Monday and will carry it every day I can (p365 as backup if I need a smaller gun). It’s the most $ I’ve dropped on a pistol so far but worth every penny, I’m obsessed with it.

How was your experience shooting it? I just DROSed one today, a DWXc.

It’s incredible. Fits my hands PERFECTLY so it indexes very naturally to POA, no grip movement between shots, etc. Very accurate, flatter shooting and better follow up shots than my full size CZ75, trigger is great (maybe could be .5-1lb lighter but I’m not touching it as I’ll carry it).

I put another 150 rds through it today (would’ve been more but I had to practice for a classifier tomorrow with another gun as I don’t have a holster for the DWX yet), so about 1000-1200rds through it since I got it Monday 3/30. Not a single malfunction. Everything about it is F-ing perfect, I’m smitten. No issues with the safety or side to frame fit (I’d read online about a few issues people had related to these); everything is TIGHT but still runs flawlessly.

Best pistol I’ve ever owned by far.

Awesome! Thanks for that review. Which ammo were you using? Any plans for an optic?
