k30dxedle Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Worked well while it lasted, but after some not altogether heavy use, the entire safety assembly on mine has decided to spontaneously disassemble itself. Still functions (without a safety, of course), but I'm a bit disappointed. Does anyone know a source to get spare parts for these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Try contacting KJW directly.Also, FALCON parts arrived for the CZ-75, tightbore is good but a little longer than the stock barrel, so it sticks out about 3mm when the slide is locked back. V hop rubber needs bedding in, it's very sensitive to change and is hard to adjust right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k30dxedle Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Alright, it looks like I'll be doing that soon. Fortunately it seems that KJW parts are pretty cheap. In the meantime, I've looked at what went wrong for future reference- on part #12 (the main safety component), the rod that runs through the frame snapped clean in half where it's notched for part #65 (a small coil spring) to secure it.

DarkLite Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just an add on to this: I've ended up R-hopping my CZ75 and cutting down the hammer spring to use green gas effectively. She also has some real steel wood grips installed and it looks fiiiiine. I'm still working on solving the sloppy inner/outer barrel fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obitwo Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thats the 10.000 dollar answer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm working on something that could solve it. Until then, though, here's how she looks now: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 as a bit of a preamble I saw this on wgc so decided to look for reviews - after giving up with the search tool I scrolled down only to see this thread! In anycase I'm on the look out for a pistol - this does look nifty - but is it as good OOTB as the kjw 1911? both on propane or co2. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 The M1911 will have more parts available for it, but I'd say they perform fairly similarly. Speaking of which, I found a fix for the inner barrel and outer barrel fit issues - a single wrap of electrical tape around the barrel, right up at the muzzle end.The CZ75 also fits into a M1911 holster quite handily - my SERPA locks it in no problems. Also, Skarclaw, I happen to have two brand new in box CZ75s, with two Co2 Magazines each, with Falcon tightbores and hop-up rubbers. *shameless plug* 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 laavly thats good to hear. Potentially interested in yours however will be a few months before I purchase methinks...I like to plan ahead. thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I ordered one of the Uncompany ones, with those meh laser white markings. We'll see how it goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Was looking at getting either a Hi-cappa or the KJW CZ75 (KP09) and finally went with the CZ last week. While not the engraved model (which I've never been able to find for sale in the USA), I like the look of the pistol, its matt finish with no phony trades of any kind and the fact that it appears to have a pretty good rep with you folks. So far I've not been disappointed. Range and accuracy are quite good when using green gas (co2 mags are on the way). The double action trigger IS awfully hard, but I plan to use this "cocked & locked" anyway. Single action is kind of light and lets off with little prior notice. Definitely not 1911 like but not much different than my TM Sig P226 or TM PX4. Really smooth though. Got a chance to use it on a wasp nest that had been built over the last week, right in the door frame of my shed (a little smaller than a tennis ball). Backed off to about 50 feet and let fly with 5 relatively quick shots (.20's @ 79f). They all appeared to hit and the nest basically broke apart. Not bad. Sights were dead on. Have been able to locate some standard CZ75 wood grips (would like to get a set of the actual plastic grips as well-still looking). I'm interested in how hard it is to get the real steel grips to fit properly. Is it a major project? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Not a major undertaking at all. Mine only needed a tiny bit of filing here and there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Have you looked here? http://czcustom.com/CZ-75-85-TS-Grips-Aluminum-Plastic-Rubber.aspx I got the Coco Bolo ones, and they were pretty much a drop-in fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks for the assist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Does anyone know what material the barrel bushing of the KJW KP-09 is made of? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Obitwo Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 There is no barrel bushing on this model Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Actually there is and it appears to be press fit into the slide (like the WE Hi-power). I know this as it blew off my pistol while I was shooting yesterday. Stupidly I re-attached it using loctite without checking to make positively sure that it is metal. Although, I cant understand why they would use plastic, the way my luck is going lately, anything is possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
