Bah. I just stripped mine trying to take the optic plate off...

Draws very smoothly. Have you ever had a GX holster before? Typically, you adjust it so there's little to no retention with the lever down--this is no different. I don't have any issues with the front cocking serrations catching on the holster. I reached out to him very early on about making a mold for the Redback and asked to be put on the waitlist in the meantime.

I just received my GX that I ordered in March. The pictures that he posted recently on the GX Facebook page are of my holster

right side safety just needs to be rotated in order to go in, then is held in place by left safety--just like the shadow 2. to get the spring and plunger back in, I usually compress it with a tiny flat head while pushing the safety back through

IMO, it's not worth it. Trigger stacks, no aftermarket support, hard to get spare parts, etc... I'm north of chicago if you want to try one out. PM me.

The spring and plunger are set inside the actual safety. Once you start pulling it out, put your hand over the top, otherwise they'll go flying.

Lafe at GX will be making kydex holsters soon -- I think he has a Redback on loan and is making molds now. I inquired with RHT and they said that they'd possibly do one if there was an order of at least 20. I haven't had a failure to feed yet with any of my different loads that I also use on my Shadow 2. I'm running a 9lb recoil spring and using my Shadow 2 mags. I don't think I've even touched the mags that came with the Redback yet.

It's almost identical to replacing a cz safety. The detent is spring loaded and housed in the safety, so watch out for that flying into space when you remove the left side. I'll probably make a video sometime soon.

I purchased an identical pistol and feelings are mixed. Fit and finish is really amazing. However, it's frustratingly frustrating to work on and support is nearly non-existent. The double action pull is long, heavy, slightly gritty, and stacks quite a bit midway. The single action is extremely crisp and pretty great except for a pretty long takeup. The SA break is more crisp and defined than my CGW shadow 2. I can get used to having to tap everything out with a mallet because of the tight tolerances, but sometimes those tight tolerances are just annoying. I broke 2 punches and deformed the trigger pin while trying to remove it -- had to go to Grainger to get a replacement (2.5mm x 24mm steel pin if any of you need it). Changing the front sight fiber has been a debacle. I've never seen a front sight fiber optic retained by a steel pin in the front. Simply cutting the fiber and melting the ends will not work with this sight. It requires full removal of the sight from the frame. I've tried hammering it out after applying heat and it's mauled my wooden blocks. Phoenix says to apply a little more heat than I'm used to in order to remove. I haven't tried that yet. I thought the point of the dovetail optic plate was so it would retain zero when swapping optics/irons, but it's pointless because you need to fully remove the optic to mount the plate and undo the height adjustment of the irons to access the rear mounting set of mounting screws for the plate. Messaging the Phoenix team is like snail mail over instant messaging. I can expect one response per day on a good week -- it takes a few weeks to get one question resolved. I actually never got a full question resolved and I asked about removing the optic plate, size of the trigger pin, and size of the mag release button screw. I've given up on contacting Phoenix directly. Team Phoenix Germany via Facebook has actually been a slightly better help than the company. I'm sure I'll like the pistol more after I shoot it a little more... Just need to find a holster for it. I know GX just received their Redback and is in the process of making a mold, but with how delayed his production is, I think you'd be lucky to get a holster by Fall of this year. I think I'm going to go with a Guga Ribas universal holster and see if it works as good as Humblemarksman says it does. I don't have the guide rod issue -- I've shot close to 500rds so far and haven't had any functional hiccups with the gun. Hoping that the DA pull smooths out, but i'm not holding my breath.

Did you ever get your aftermarket trigger to fit and function?

Interested in the Redback, but spoiled by my CGW Shadow 2's trigger. Has anyone made or put in a reduced reach trigger from a CZ into the Redback?

Where have you seen that kit?

Blue here

I don't see any leading in my barrels, just the comp on the rifle that I have to hack out with a pick. I followed load recipes on here including OAL for similar guns and was expecting to hit 130pf with 3.8gr out of my shadow 2. I was pretty surprised that my velocities across the board were not insignificantly higher than almost everyone else.

OAL was 1.125" on all of them. Bullets are great. Very consistent weight and size. I'm getting some really crazy leading in my comp, but maybe I shouldn't be running them in my PCC. I'm just getting much higher velocities across the board than others have reported in similar guns.
