I didn't join the pre-order I didn't think I could afford a Shadow 2 until this month since I just found out I will get paid over this summer. I'll wait for a used one or one of the cheaper places to sell it. Someone on the FB group said he got notification of shipment from CZC. This would also explain why CZC is a bit slower on responding to emails today too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgil275 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Once you guys start getting the shadow 2, could someone post whether the inside and outside of the barrel is nitride coated? More interested in knowing if the inside of the barrel is coated. Thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamge Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yes, to my recollection inside is coated as well. Only part that isn't is the feed ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlvrDragon50 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 CGW took a look at the S2 and reported: http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=86823.0 Quote We have our S-2 and we have done some initial observations. As we suspected, the S-2 is a mix of something new and something old. First thing we noticed:1) SA is creepy on our sample2) We were surprised at the amount of pre-travel in the trigger, it's better than the 91154, but in the S-2 price range, should be better3) Slide serrations on the rear seem to have less grip area than the 91154/SP-014) Barrel bushing to barrel fit on our sample was somewhat loose; typical of the SP-01's of the past (CGW barrel bushing will fit)5) Barrel is slightly longer compared to the 91154/SP-016) Slim safeties are very thin, great for a high hold with thumbs forwardWe'll have more in depth info in the next few weeks.

cheby Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Looks like I will need to replace the disconnector and a hammer on Shadow 2... Not a big deal Edited March 8, 2017 by cheby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Shadow 2 is pretty much like SP01 Shadow. CZ add a slightly better disconnector. but not quite as tight as the current ones being offered. internals are familiar to the SP01 Shadow, just some dimensional differences. Improvements of note are the frame checkering. addition of paddle mag release, two sets of safeties, height adjustable rear sight. longer sight radius. additional weight will be good for some, not so good for others.

SlvrDragon50 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I said it over on the other forum, but I think 1300 is asking too much when you still need to replace the hammer, disco, and bushing. At 1100 it's a good buy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of all the new parts, it is not quite there IMHO. That is not a big deal for most people, however. The extra weight of Stock 2 or 3 was a decision point for some but with extra weight of Shadow 2 that has been resolved. Shadow 2 will be much cheaper at some point in the future. Remember people were paying $1600 for Stock 2 without a problem 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalnwood Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 We have quite a few people where I am with stock 2/3 extremes. Thats what we have been comparing very favourably with the shadow 2. One big difference is the shadow 2 runs any ammo and everyone I ahve seen with a stock 2/3 extreme has trouble, has to polish the feed ramp, can only run round points, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember people were paying $1600 for Stock 2 without a problem 3 years ago. I had a Limited Pro and the DA trigger pull was awesome! I'd say better than any CZ I've shot or handled. That's an opinion of course but I preferred the feeling of the Tanfo pull. It took some work to get it there but the CZ require a little work too. I wish they would have redesigned or copied the Tanfo trigger bar support as well as the hammer spring set up. It took me a while to get used to it but now I like it better the way the Tanfo does it. Im probably in the minority on that though. I'm not a fan of the CZ trigger bar lifter spring or the mag release spring. I understand why cz kept it the same though.

Chili Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 We've got two locals who recently bought Stock III Extremes at near double the cost of the Shadow 2 nice gun but the DA pull is absolute garbage compared to the Shadow 2 in both their guns compared to both of my Shadow 2's. As far as igniting primers both of my 2's are 100% with the hardest cheap Russian primers so far with the 11.5 CGW spring and stock firing pin and fp spring.

From what I hear the Exteme models aren't worth buying unless your shoot IPSC. Any regular Tanfo can be made to have a nicer trigger than the extreme models for a few hundred less. I sold my Tanfo so I'm not a fan boy but I feel folks haven't had the proper experience with a good tuned Tanfo! I also didn't feel mine was primer sensitive at all. CZ are more accurate, have better mag well but I feel the trigger pull is better on the Tanfo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
