thanks darthmuffin

hi, hope somebody can enlighten me, im from the philippines and i think my stock II is small frame. Are the contour grips thicker than the stock wooden grips? Im looking for something thicker. TIA.

Thanks Mo. Has anyboby gone as low as around 8 or 9 lbs?

May i ask what recoil spring weight do you use? TIA.

As a side question, what weight recoil spring would be best for your loads? minor pf 9mm.

Anybody shot this for competition? Would appreciate anybody with info on how it feeds with reloaded ammo.

I myself cannot do this fast enough, but there's one shooter over here who has perfected this technique, his name is Jethro "the Jet" Dionisio. 4th in open WS Bali.

Hi Jerry, i'm sure i'm using the pad of my trigger finger, but thanks still. Hi Duane, i'm now shooting a shadow for the past 3 months, used a glock before with no such problem. Will definitely try your suggestion, thanks!

Update guys, hope you could help me out again. After 2 practice sessions, i noticed shots wents low and LEFT from 15 mtrs out when i tried to tap faster as i gripped the gun tighter subconsciously. so next practice i alternately placed no-shoots under the A of the alpha zone of the target. Well, i still hit the no-shoot even if i try not looking at the white area, maybe around 10% of the time. It seems i'm flinching due to the death grip i do. Any suggestions?

Have you tried putting a small piece of tape over the non-dominant eye side? So you'll still have peripheral vision but won't be able to use it to shift focus.

I think I'm going off to the range later for an unscheduled practice session. I tend to use a diff. set of ear plugs in practice, i might be closing my eyes. Thanks!

Thanks! I will definitely try that approach later.

Honestly, i am suprised coz my sights are in the A zone,then i get irritated coz it goes on and on all throughout the practice session as i try harder. At matches my hits get better coz i tap slower sometimes too slow coz i tend to finish lower due to my time and not because of hits. To stay on topic, equal pressure with both hands but it seems i tend to grip more with the strong hand when i get pissed off and try too hard to hit better AND faster in practice. Any suggestions? or does my "problem" merit starting another topic?

I'm a no. 1; however, i have a slightly diff. problem (not too OT actually). I tend to shoot better hits in matches because i'm conscious about the points, but my shots tend to hit low in practice when i tend to push myself to go faster! Any suggestions or drills fellas?

First saw this gun in the gallery section. To everybody who has shot this pistol: how would you rate this gun for production? Pros and cons please. I've used the glock and loved its reliability, learned to live with its trigger. used the shadow and the splits were awesome(compared to glock) but had to cure its jams first after it gave me headaches for 2 months.

thanks for the reply canuck! followup question to all gp6 owners out there: how does the gp6 compare to other production guns like the shadow, glock, etc. in your experience? factors like splits, muzzle flip, accuracy.

hi guys, do you think the upcoming c model would be applicable in ipsc production?

hi everybody, does anybody here have any trouble shooting with the shadow's fixed sights? have been using dawson adjustables through the years on my glock and i'm having trouble with the shadow, can't adjust it to shoot dead-on. also, anybody know of any drop-in adj. sights for the shadow? TIA.

none whatsoever, used 40k rounds already. just check for tight groups as poorly made molys tend to have poor accuracy.

thanks chuck and double pedro, will try polishing ang beveling!! btw, what do you use for the beveling? will update you guys on the result. thanks!

i'm using an 11lb. recoil spring with the factory extractor spring. better than the wolff extra power extractor spring(got stovepipes with these) but still not perfect. what happens sometimes is the empty shell is only half-extracted then the next round is on the way up. a very messy jam that takes me 4-5 secs. to clear!!!!! HELP!!!!! i can experiment with factory ammo but its quite impossible for me to use it long-term, too expensive. thanks for the input btw, much appreciated.

hi, i'm using an 11 lb recoil spring with 15 lb hammer spring.

is the gun unsafe if it fails the vertical test?

so is it unsafe if the slide moves when triggering it vertically but doesn't when trying it horizontally?
