I thought it was just under max weight

The plate is 2MM -- Should I order the 6MM long ones, or the 8MM long ones?

thank you both

I tried to search for the answer, but kept finding screws to mount the optic to the plate. Can someone please point me towards the correct size screw to mount a CZ Factory optic plate to a Shadow 2 OR? thank you

I've noticed the price drop, but they are still out there. I wonder on we'll see a S3 soon

thank you

Does the TSO Tactical Sport Orange (not TS2) have the same crack failures as early Shadow 2s?

thx, just ordered the red one

is the adjustable fix-it-stick any good? of should I but different fixed ones?

wow, that one is a little pricey. I think < $100 would be a better price range

@darthdively - Do you have the analog or the digital wheeler? @Zachjet - I was going to use locktite, but was afraid it would add some lube and allow you to overtighten the screw

What is everyone using as a torque wrench to attach their optics? The wheeler seems to have good reviews, but I'm worried Amazon will dump it on my porch and knock it out of spec. Also, how tight should I attached the OR plate to my Shadow 2 OR, and how tight do I attach the optic to the plate?

So far so good. With that said, I only shot 100 or so rounds last weekend, so who knows. I'm also wondering if that one round was due to the ETS speedloader I was using. I went back to my magupla just incase.

They also refinished it. I changed out the main spring and firing pin myself. I can't imagine either of those causing this problem.

Very interesting. My gut tells me if I tune the mags, it will solve the problem. Totally makes sense. My plan is to polish the feed ramp, and tune the mags. I'll then manually run several rounds through it, without firing and test the setback to see if anything has changed. I'll do live fire on Sunday during a steel challenge. And yes, this is factory Blazer 124 ammo. Brand new springs and followers (grams) - I could try swapping them out, incase one is bad. I saw someone say polish the follower, do I use the same Flitz on the follower? thank you everyone for your help

I ordered the Cajun GW spring tuning kit, and installed the 11# (yellow) spring. I figured that would be a good one to start with. I went to the range tonight, and shot about 300 rounds. The shells were landing about 6 feet from me, I thought things were good, until a round didn't fully seat in the barrel (See pic below). I pulled it out and thought it was a 380, but it was marked 9mm. I don't know if it was off from the factory, or got jammed in when it didn't fully seat. I only had about 6 rounds left with me. I shot them without a problem. Was this the same problem as before, just the 11# spring allowed the round to actually get into the chamber, just not seat into the barrel, or something else? Maybe just a 1 off? I do still have the buffer in there, I think I'll pull it out before my competition this weekend. After getting home, I took it apart. Does anything look off? Should I polish the feeding ramp? (See pics). If so, what should I use? Flitz?

I can try it without the buffer. There is another competition in 2 weeks, I may only make it to the range once before that. To be clear, the only springs I have changed were the main spring, the firing pin spring, and the the grams mag springs (11 coil) The recoil spring, and the buffer are factory. My muzzle flip was reasonable, so I didn't mess with the recoil spring. thank you for your suggestions, and help

Slide was not hung up on a round. side opened, ejected shell, and closed with no new round in the chamber. I have the factory recoil spring, and the Cajun extended firing pin and spring, along with an 8# main spring. By reading both of your replies, sounds like I should try a lighter recoil spring. FWIW, I didn't change the recoil spring, because my muzzle rise wasn't that bad. I will order the tuning set from Cajun. Should I start with the 11#, or the 12#? Also, I still have the buffer in there. I'm assuming I should leave it in.

how did you fix it? I cleaned my mags today, but they didn't really need it. I also numbered them to see if it's just one doing something funky. problem is, I don't know when I'll be able to test again

they are new mags, but I guess it won't hurt to clean them. The first time it happened was during my first stage of the day, and first time using these mags

I have a Shadow 2 Orange, with factory slide spring. I am using Blazer 124 grain 9MM, mec-gar mags, TTI basepad, and grams 11 coil spring and follower. The mags, basepad, spring and followers are all fairly new. I was at a match a couple weeks back, and my 3rd or 4th shot malfunctioned, as a round didn't end up in the chamber/barrel. I figured that was a one off, but I was at the range last night, and about 15 rounds into a mag it happened again. What would cause this? Do I need a different recoil spring? If so, which one? Should I go with the 13 coil springs? If so, will this change the number of rounds I can use?

I actually mailed my slide to them this past week to do the same. I just felt their plate system was the way to go.
