Shadow 2 msrp
in CZ
I have one (nitride finish) and have over 1500 rounds through it plus dryfire. Those rounds include over 1000 in practice and 500 in USPSA and steel challenge matches.
Those concerned with the higher price tag have to look at what you are getting for the upgraded price. This model is sold through CZ-USA there is no exclusive for any shops. The first is Aluminum grips $85, Adjustable rear sight $45, serrated front sight $35, 15lb. main spring $4.50, 14lb recoil spring $7.50, flat safeties and extended left side safety $90, drop in short reset trigger $55. That all adds up to $322 and that doesn't include the functional front a rear strap checkering, better slide serrations, better finish, big magazine catch button, larger grip area front to back, higher beaver tail cut, higher under trigger guard cut.
Some big things that people don't know about the internals and things i have found when shooting it and doing a complete disassembly. Most of the internal parts will interchange with the standard 75 series of parts that are on the original Shadow. But the parts on the Shadow 2 are different than the parts that come in the original Shadow, they are better machined on the Shadow 2. The magazine catch is totally different not just on the outside also on the inside, the part that holds the magazine is on the right side so there is no way to pinch the magazines in the gun when doing a magazine change and have to rip them out. The trigger spring is entirely new and only available on the shadow 2 at this time, CZUB says it fixed the breaking issue with this new spring. The hammer is a different shape than the Shadow hammer but the hooks are the same as the original Shadow, the comp hammer will fit into the gun and it will lower the single action trigger pull about a 1/2lb. I think the recoil spring is 14lb. and the main spring is 15lb., both can be changed to the same as original Shadow. The rear and front sight cuts are the same as the original Shadow, the Shadow 2 rear sight will fit the original Shadow. The Shadow 2 uses the standard full size magazines and will be shipping with 3 like the original Shadow.
Any other questions post them (no idea about availability or when they will start showing up in the states) and i will find out the answers if I don't know the answer.

able to shoot 2 divisions?

USPSA Seeking feedback, companies expressing their views of current USPSA trends, and the Pres and BoD responding is not the same as those companies coming to USPSA saying, "we want you to make this."
It seems to me that members of this forum were the driving force behind the initial concept and that once the BoD saw the industry's movement towards carry guns with Optics, the board decided it was time for USPSA to make a place for this platform instead of having to play catch up later. I think this is the Pres and BoD reacting to the environment.
Phil took what little feedback the members have discussed on this forum and others and threw it out the window when they created carry optics, none of the members wanted a weight limit. He said in a post on Facebook that "urged the BOD that these manufacturers(S&W, Glock, Springfield) and Sig were very interested in this division, and would continue to sponsor because of it". This looks like pandering to specific manufacturers.
-
Smith & Wesson, Glock and Springfield did lobby for carry optic, that is why we now have that division.
And where is your evidence for this?
Here all the evidence you are seeking.

I am not sure we actually need a new division unless we got rid of a division first to not dilute the competitiveness of the sport. I purpose we get rid of L10 division because if a state has a restriction on magazine capacity we have a rule that already covers it 3.3.1 it is below.
3.3.1 In states where competitors are restricted by law to maximum magazine capacity, that maximum capacity will be the maximum allowed for all competitors in the contest. Any such limitations must be made known to all competitors by the Match Director/Range Master before the start of the match.
My purposed division for replacement of L10 is attached. Below are some reasons for why I think the new division should be. The reason for the name Tactical is it is already setup in EZ winscore and practiscore it would be minimal to add this division as provisional.
My idea behind the division is to allow concealed carry people that modify their carry gun outside of the production division rules a place to compete where they aren't going to against full race guns in open division. Keeping the division at 15 minor only allows IPSC competitors to come over and compete in the exact format they use overseas and US competitors can shoot a division to get ready for IPSC matches and not be in Limited division. Same reason for no restriction on holster. Below are some more specifics for each point in the Division restrictions.
1&2. We only have one division that minor is widely used I believe that minor scoring makes USPSA very different compared to major scoring,
6. Not a restricted division let the shooters shoot whatever gun they have without overbearing rules to allow them to compete.
7. Making a gun fit the box with the slide parallel to the long side of the box will not allow angling the gun which was the demise of modified division and out of control cost to be competitive in that division.
8. Same as open or limited it could go either way for me. Just think we should keep a restriction on them so we can use existing measuring devices.
9. 15 round so 9mm and .40 could be competitive without having to buy extended base pads to feel competitive in the division and it is in line with IPSC rules for production.
12. Having no restriction on this rule allows people who want to use there every day carry position (AIWB) to shoot in this division without buying specific equipment to compete.
13. Slide mounted optic only allowed; a new trend is to mount a slide ride optic on people's carry gun. This will allow those people to compete and not be going against full race gun in Open division.
14. If people are going to be shooting there carry gear and that is the reason for the division no need to make someone take there flashlight off just to shoot a USPSA match.
15. I do not think we should allow compensator due to the perceived equipment race it will cause.
16. Same as above
17. Some of the common guns that would be shot in this division are made this way from the factory
18. With all the equipment no way to figure out what the maximum weight would be to allow the guns that aren't in other divisions.
19. Let people shoot what they want.
20. Same as 12
Some issues I see is allowing the optic will make everybody shooting the division to use an optic. Maybe? At the local level it will give people a place to shoot guns that have been modified out of production division. At the national level everybody in the top 16 will have to have an optic to be competitive. Also Full size handguns with the slide mounted optics will not fit into the box this is an unforeseen benefit to the rules because it keeps in line with the concealed carry and guns that do not fit into the other divisions.

Nothing is wrong with either the base pad or mag below are some pictures showing how to assemble the mag and base pad combo
I have the Shockbottles, and they aren't e-z for me. It's often impossible to seat the nipple on the bottom of the (in this image: http://www.okiegunsmithshop.com/CZ_85.jpgit is part #38, called a) magazine base lock. It's as if the holes in the Shockbottles weren't drilled in the proper locations, or maybe it's just that my mec gar mags have out-of-spec magazine base locks, and the Shockbottles are perfect...I don't know. End result I have to manipulate the magazine base locks with a small punch and even that doesn't work with a few of them.
However, they seem very sturdy and rigid, and they're significantly lighter than the Springers, which would have put me over max production weight for my CZ.This shows the lip on the base lock that slides into the open space on the bottom of the mag the lip is on the bottom of the pic
This shows the space in the bottom of the mag where the lip on the lock slides in to replace the base pad
This is what it looks like when assembled correctly then slide on the base pad and it will drop in no problem

Why the price difference between the schedules?

8 cz shadow

I thought 3 gun more fun and didn't have anything to do with the prize tables?
-
my experience is they never check magazine length just weigh and box production guns
-
mine did that i have since switched to a stock plastic
-
What would you guys like us to carry that we aren't already? Link from UB webstore would be very helpful.

what about this start position?
-
If these congenital "Double" calling shooters got DQed for unsportsmanlike conduct when they pull this crap it would happen a lot less.
What about arguring to not get an FTE?
-
I am not sure it’s me or the gun is jumping too much.
It's you.
How do you know?
-
this is a reloading issue not a mag issue
-
do anybody have the squad schedule? or know what time we are expected to be off the range sunday?
-
You should right a book.
-
is there an option to shoot all day sunday?
-
If the USPSA web guy watches this thread - there is a mistake on the list.
GM = 95% - 100%
Yet Revolver and Single Stack have folks listed as GM that are under 95%
match bump and not that many gm's
-
Here is an idea. When a manufacturer turns in the form for approval, the gun gets looked at and approved. If NROI approves it then they send out 8 guns to the area directors for final approval. They already made 2000 of them and since USPSA is such a small percentage of gun sales it shouldn't be a big deal. They don't seem to have a problem sending guns out to magazine writers. Maybe some of our directors could double dip and kill two birds with one stone. Guns ship next day, the directors have 2 weeks to review and approve. E-mail responses, majority rules.
would never happen
-
What's worse though - zero enforcement or full Pinto?
I think waiting and making sure a gun is 100% legal is better than jumping the gun and then refusing to correct the mistake.
That model is not yet in general circulation, nor does it appear in the FN catalogue or website. Perhaps next year.
Pinto is on to something
