Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Thanks for the forums...I read this a year ago and when it came in I knew what to do. Forums do help people...;-)
  2. I found an Allen key in my bag that backed this one out and the QD now holds tight. Backed it out 1 turn, just enough to get past the stock.
  3. Need to drift the rear sight a mil or 2...height is spot on from factory.
  4. Bought the 11 and 13 # springs...haven’t switched them though...I’ll probably switch them after more rounds. Just been dry firing quite a bit. I think this trigger is nicer than my SW Performance Center revolver. Got some Shockbottle pads and 2 more mags. RHT holster and some of the Racemaster aluminum knockoff mag pouches off amazon. Pretty sweet setup and it is motivation to continue to practice.
  5. Finally settled on 1.149 oal, 147grain rn, 3.2 gn Titegroup, CCI primer. Very nice gun and Ammo is smooth. Happy hunting
  6. I know you’re asking Rowdyb this...but I don’t know why you’d need much thinner? Stock post has good amount of light on either side to find it and fiber to use it. This is one of the 10 stock items that helped me choose this gun, I see no need to change.
  7. I choose a popular 1.135 or something less than the max overall. Then begin moving up in 5 thousandths...1.140....1.145...if it hits at 1.150...then I start backing off in one thousandths...until I can feed into mag and into chamber 100%. I might take another thou off just to make sure the variance in my shoddy reloading is accounted for...lol
  8. I used the video on YouTube...guy takes a rod covered in blue painters tape. Puts rod in Gun all the way to breechface, while in battery. Makes mark on rod. Guy takes barrel out of gun, puts in specific bullet he wants, I.e 147 flatpoint and holds it in contact with rifling with a pencil. Guy inserts blue painters tape rod again from barrel crown and takes second measurement. That’s how I got my chamber depth for max oal. that doesn’t factor magazines or feeding issues...I go through as many as it takes to get it to 100% reliable.
  9. Furthermore...I was same holing the 3.2 TG batch of 20. I was worried I had screwed up my reloads and had a dud. But not the case...I triple checked all my loads so no squibs. So that’s 2” and 4” groups of 20....if you cut it down to 5 rounds I’d say the gun is capable of .5” groups and 2” groups respectively. Amazing machine!
  10. All groups were good but 3.2gr Titegroup CCI SPP and 147gn Berry’s Roundnose were the best. 2” at 10yards and 4” at 25yards (off the rickety bench and no chair). I assume that’s where the increase was gained. Not slow fire. I assume if it wasn’t 30 degrees and I took more time I could’ve done better...but for a Box stock gun I couldn’t be more pleased. Couple springs will tighten controlled pairs...lot more dryfire and plenty of range time. I don’t think I did the gun justice...I bet this gun could cut those groups in half given more time, it feels inherently accurate. Jeez Louise you CZ guys have been holding out, this is a whole ‘nother world. I enjoy this gun and will begin ammo production and see y’all next year in the matches!
  11. Got the bullets loaded with TG and BE...20 rounds of 3.2, 3.4, 3.6 each. Tuesday, potentially Thursday. I really want to shoot it outdoors for these but it’s 20 degrees here...hopefully it warms up to 40. rowdy...yes I agree I plan on pulling the DA millions of times in practice I don’t need to make it sub 5# and fragile. I don’t consider it cheating, I just don’t want to cheat myself of the practice behind the gun. I’m going off my SW 686 work as a guide...I put a $15 Wilson Combat spring in it and it dropped DA from 10# to 6# and I didn’t go with the lightest new spring offering. Still lights CCI primers...just a touch of improvement on DA...then I’ll rely on practice for improvement on top of that. 10X accuracy isn’t improved for $60? Looks like it’s an asswhip to freeze it all and install. Just want to make sure it’s 10-15% increase if not I’ll stay stock and be a better shot from practice...lol Good thing is...I’m not getting into the “Tweak race” with this one. I’m talking 2 springs...and tons of trigger time. I friggin hate constantly adjusting this or tweaking that with negative results. This one is going to be just a used 99% stock piece of machinery. Thanks for your help, watched your videos on YouTube...good shooting
  12. Rowdy will the 13 ms lighten up DA pull? And not affect SA....2.5 avg is pretty sweet Any idea what’s the stock recoil spring? I use 11 in my 1911 9mm so that sounds right i want to keep it as stock as possible, not make major changes just get a little softer DA and flatten it a bit. 10% improvement for nominal spring input. any idea what a 10X bushing would/could do for me? Is it worth it to do it now or after a couple thousand rounds?

    New shadow 2

    Da is 7.5 to 8 lbs SA is 2.5-3 lbs smooth as my performance Center 686, very nice can’t wait to goto range. Bone stock...any suggestion on springs recoil and trigger pull adjustment type springs? Did an OAL Check and it shows I could max out with 1.19 with a 147 RN. Magazines maybe 1.15...So I’m loading to 1.135 and going through charges with Titegroup and Bullseye. superb gun so far...will update later once I’ve got her dialed in. And sights setup for particular load
