rowdyb Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 someone might swap it out for a lighter plastic one, just trying to fine tune the balance of the gun how they want. that's all i can think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thin seems to deform super quick on me. How often do you have to replace the buffers? Where do you buy them?

HSLPCZ Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Great thread here rowdyb and thanks for documenting the upgrades. I'm very much an amateur shooter but was lucky enough to have a friend/range master at my club get me on a fast track with my first comp gun, a CZ Shadow Target II. Only mods to that platform were palm swells and CGW 10X bushing. LOVE this gun. Just picked up a Shadow2 so very grateful for this info. Last night I measured the delta between the ID of the bushings and OD of the barrels on both guns to compare. The Shadow Target with 10X bushing was .002" and the stock Shadow2 was .005". Pretty darn good for a factory gun IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to go to a Cajun Gun Works bushing on my S2 before accuracy seemed reasonable for a $1000 + gun , not expensive or hard to install but whatever the measurements might have been the end result was disappointing.

SlvrDragon50 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 There is inconsistency in the bushings. Some people are getting very tight fits and other people are having very loose bushings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My most accurate still has a stock bushing but a couple others needed the CGW. Sounds like the S2 is made the same way as the base models in that regard.

chalkdust21 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Need recommendations: CGW vs CZC hammer. anyone try both? I have used CZC in the past on SP01 but wondering about CGW in a S2? T1 vs T3 disco. Sounds like some people still have to fit the T1, so is it necessary take the extra time on the T3? seems like a T1 with hopes that it drops in with no travel is the way to go. I have fit a t3 before but doesn't sound necessary. stock vs CGW adjustable sear? better? only fit stock in the past. who has tinkered with the S2 the most and can share the best setup so far...

I can't speak for czc stuff ironically since I bought my gun from them, but I have all CGW stuff and the only difficulty I had was figuring out the T1 disco. Once I got the advice that I had to fit it even though it was drop in, it was easy... 3 light passes with a file and polish and it worked. Otherwise I'm happy with everything I did, which includes all the CGW stuff you mentioned. Including the bushing.Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcp Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Finally got my Shadow 2...by forgetting my deposit at the LGS and getting one from GB. Didn't get the blue one as I had ordered but got it for about $150 less NIB. Now I finally get to join everyone who's been shooting theirs for months. Ack.

rowdyb Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thinking of changing up my recoil spring.... When I hammer a pair really quick the second is about 1.5" lower than the first shot consistently. So time to fool with the timing of it all that way a little.

Not if you remember to look through the blurry sights for both shots as you roll past. (Thats the optional part everyone neglects to share, so we all got to learn that lesson the hard way. Even at six feet, ya still gotta look.) Edited June 20, 2017 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcp Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 This is a great thread. I've read it 3x so far. Any other thoughts on best setup...particularly sear, hammer and disco? Those who have changed the bushing, would you recommend it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who have changed the bushing, would you recommend it? T1 or T3 , or old style disco from cz custom, is more about what you prefer than what is best. I like a smidge of pre-travel and have both the T1 & CZC disco's, they work fine for me. Put a bushing in my S2 & it helped, but my most accurate CZ still has the oem bushing. I'd shoot the particular gun and then install the bushing if I was not entirely happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
