MrT_shootsAcz Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 How long does it take to switch guns for you guys? I've been told "4 months" by someone whom I respect their opinion. For me I think it's very personal and also somewhat platform dependent. Yes, I'm speaking of switching from a Shadow 1 to a Shadow 2... so to be clear I'm not talking about moving from revo to an open gun or a 1911 to a CZ. Basically, I'm really trying to decide if I want to switch prior to my first major match, starting in June for me as well. I've thrown some boom booms down the pipe while fine tuning the "limited soon to be production gun", enough to know I do like it. But not sure I want to switch now... so do I leave it in the safe until after area 3? Or break it out and hope a couple thousand rounds is enough to be comfortable with it by June? Decisions decisions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheby Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) I don't think switching from s1 to s2 is a big deal. Daily dry fire, and a couple of thousands rds should be enough . Shoot a few standard drills such as el prez and Bill drill to see if there's any difference especially in target transitions.

Richc2048 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I adapted easily to the shadow 2 from my cz long slide. Still ended up in same % overall very first match. And consistent the month I shot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) I still go back and forth between the Shadow and Shadow 2, Been shooting the 2 in IPSC and practice since October, still shoot the Shadow when I do USPSA matches, has pretty much zero effect on my results.

My strong hand grip changes a lot going from 75 to S2, for the better I think really have to force pressure onto the web between thumb and forefinger to get good recoil control.

MrT_shootsAcz Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Thanks for the responses guys. I've only switched guns once since starting USPSA shooting last year and that was from an m&p pro to my CZ. I felt like the move to the CZ didn't really take that long but it also coincided with my decision to actually try to get good at this game and train and practice with a purpose, which also saw me increasing my shooting to about 2k rounds through the gun a month. When I first shot my shadow 2 I ran it in a nonsanctioned match and had a similar finish but definitely didn't feel as comfortable with it as my shadow 1. I guess that will come in time...

SlvrDragon50 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I shoot way better with my S2 than my 85C. My grip just isn't as strong on the 85C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ has made the pistol available through its distribution network. should be available from a wide variety of dealers. From what I have seen, polycoat models available, urban grey is beginning to show up, and the nitrite there were only a few shipped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that Shooter's Connection was a CZC dealer and that's how they got theirs? Not sure about oak hill guns tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If distributors like RSR, Accusport, lipseys...etc are receiving guns, the 2000 should be met soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 If you're diligent in your practice, dry fire and shoot a match every weekend I think you could be gelled with this gun in three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHAVEGAS Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Shooting limited or limited 10 minor is good for the soul. Calms the competitive juices and lets you focus only on how well you are shooting. Not that I will keep doing it when I don't need to :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are at least 2,500 were initially produced and are out there now. Some distributors getting X5s by the palette. I am seeing seeing as lot if posts form random people who are picking their up from their local FFLs over the past few days. The X5 is out there now and it's out in numbers.

How deep does the sig conspiracy go? Am I the only one not on the payroll? jk I always like to see more good options for production shooters and I know the sig guys have been waiting on that gun for awhile.

Richc2048 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Uspsa forum. This was a conversation revolving around the FN. aren't there 2k shadow 2's available world wide? It should have been approved prior to it being available in the United States. Are there really less than 2k world wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
