Hmm, I'm shaking my head at this. Wondering how CZ could "improve" a design, and not notice that it is flawed? I would have expected more from them, especially at a $2k price tag.

h=Have a40 on order. Has anyone contacted Wolverine regarding this ?

E-mail into CZ on this and I will report back when I get an answer.
. But not worried since the orginal purchase was made with Wolverine and they stand behind the products they sell.

OK, I've took some clean pics of the guide rod/bottom barrel lug of both my SP-01 Shadowmate & TS Orange (both in 9mm) and the guide rod groove on the TS is way higher (like it's meant to just barely "sit" on the lug when compressed Vs. fully seated and flush in the Shadow. All TS are made this way since they had the newly design barrel.
First 5 pics of the TS Orange guide rod assy. and bottom lug groove followed by 3 pics of the Shadowmate's (for those wondering, the Shadowmate's slide is soaking wet from gun cleaner):

Did you take it to the range yet? Curious to hear about performance. Thanks!

Pretty simple, no physics involved here. When you reassemble the pistol, it's pretty tightly fitted, the guide rod (with the buffer in place) compresses and "falls" into the lug groove then becoming aligned with the barrel. Does it rubs at the bottom of the barrel lug, sure (and maybe a tad more), just like my Shadowmate's guide rod does. And that one sits perfectly aligned horizontally when the slide is off the frame. The point is that you clearly see the marks the guide rod makes when the slide is in place simply because it "sits" on the bottom of the lug, and when it does, it functions just fine.
I didn't try without the buffer on and honestly don't know if it would function without it. I have some spares so why bother? There's a possibility that it was made to work with it, or not. If it absolutely need a buffer to function so be it, after all it came that way from factory and spares are available for a few bucks (not that bad if you can afford a $2k pistol IMHO).

Yeah did get a chance to throw some pills downrange and it's as accurate as my shadowmate, maybe a bit more but since I don't have the same experience with it it's only speculations. One things for sure, it's crazy fast. In term of speed, it will outshoot my mate's nearly 3 to 1 while keeping the same accuracy at 25 meters.
