[Shadow 2 Slide and Barrel Interchangeability]

Yep, not really worried about the fit to the frame, was more thinking about the original barrel with the new slide. I'm assuming you didn't have to perform any sort of fitment with your old barrel to the new frame?

 

I didn’t have to fit anything on mine. 

[Shadow 2 Slide and Barrel Interchangeability]

I bought a second slide from my S2 and and had CZ Custom cut it for their plate system and the slide slid right on the frame.

[Milling slide for Red Dot]

I had a spare slide for my Shadow 2 milled by CZ Custom for their plate system. I’ve had direct milled guns before, but I have come to prefer having to option to change sights in the event that a better optic becomes available. 

[New Glock 22 LR - G44]

I do not have a threaded barrel yet. Someone on another forum asked if it would work, so I gave it a shot. I think it will run subsonic ammo with a suppressor in place.

[New Glock 22 LR - G44]

I put 637 rounds through mine today and I had one light strike that fired the second time and two rounds hung up on the feed ramp when I hit the slide stop on a full magazine. Both were bulk HP rounds and after that I didn’t have any problems. It does not like subsonic ammo. I put 10 rounds of Aguilla 40gr and the first 5 rounds ejected, but didn’t have enough energy to load the next round.

Range was 10 yards and I was shooting as fast as I could load the only magazine I bought.

Ammo used: 
CCI Stinger 50 
Federal black 100 
Federal Auto match 50 
Federal bulk 50 
Winchester black 50 
Winchester 555 bulk 50 
Aguilla super 50 
Aguilla subsonic 10 rds 5 failure to feed 
CCI Blazer 50 
CCI ar tactical 152 
Winchester wildcat 35 

[Glock17 Gen 5 Suppressor]

It’s an older can now, but the quietest 9mm can I have shot is my AAC TiRant. Rugged and Dead Air make very nice and durable cans also. 

[Gen 5 guide rod?]

Awesome, thanks for the info. I’ll try the Jager rod and I already have a lot of light 1911 springs sitting around. 

[Gen 5 guide rod?]

Yes, but there isn't a wealth of options like there are for the 17 length recoil systems. I'm looking for info on what folks have actually used so I don't waste money.

[Gen 5 guide rod?]

What does everyone prefer for guiderods for the G45? I need to run a lighter recoil spring to accompany the 30 Luger barrel I got and I didn't see much info when it came to recoil parts for the shorter slide Glocks.

[NEW 92X Performance]

The dealer I ordered mine from should be recieving a few soon. Hopefully I'm near the top of the list.

[How would you feel about this S2 trigger job?]

I have a lot less cash in Cajun parts in my S2 and it's significantly better than that. Definitely not a two stage pull. 

[NEW 92X Performance]

I preordered one with an ETA of June. Supposedly Beretta will be announcing 6-8 new 92 models at the NRA show in April. 

[NEW 92X Performance]

Here is a picture of the three models. 

[NEW 92X Performance]

I can’t wait to pick one up. It will definitely fit well with my other 92’s and magazine compatibility makes range trips easier. 

[CZ Shadow 2]

Extended firing pin and spring

11lb recoil spring

Cajun main spring 

 

That’s all I’ve done to mine for now. 

[CO]

I have a Glock 19 with a comp and a RMR, but I’m also waiting on a spare slide for my Shadow 2 that I plan on using for CO. The trigger is just so much better on the CZ and it feels better in the hand. 

 

My 320 has an X5 grip, but it’s not milled for an RMR yet. 

[Where to buy CZ Tact Sport orange 40 cal]

Here you go

[Shadow 2 recoil spring any preferences/]

I used a 12lb spring with a skinny buffer and 124 GR Nato ammo today and it was pretty flat. Probably going to try an 11lb with my reloads though. 

[ACT Magazines?]

My ACT mags came in and the bodies are nearly itdentical to my MecGar mags other than the witness holes and finish. The springs and followers are different but also interchangeable. Hopefully I’ll be able to put some rounds through them tomorrow.  

 

Left to Right: CZ 18rd, MecGar Shadow 17rd, ACT 17rd

[ACT Magazines?]

I ended up adding two to my rder from Greg Cote. Shiping was $7 for 6 magazines in total and I'll post some pictures when they arrive.

[ACT Magazines?]

I didn't see anything in a search, but I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with ACT CZ 75 magazines? I found some for about $5 less than the Mec-Gar's I normally use and I'm wondering if they are wirth trying?

 

[Anyone move from Limited to CO or Production?]

Well, I managed to pick up a cheap SP-01 and I’m picking up a few Cajun parts so I guess I’ll give it a try. 

[Anyone move from Limited to CO or Production?]

I reload 223, 9mm and .40 on my 550B when I have time. Everything else is loaded on a single stage RCBS press, only trouble is finding time to load ammo. For that reason its nice to only worry about one bulk pistol caliber for the next year or two. 

[Anyone move from Limited to CO or Production?]

I just can’t afford to do both right now and I like my 2011’s, but I think I’d shoot them more if they were 9mm. 

 

I’ll probably try the Glock next time I shoot and see how it goes. 

[Anyone move from Limited to CO or Production?]

This is my first year shooting USPSA, but I've shot 2 gun and unsanctioned IDPA in the past. Right now I'm shooting a 6" and 4" 2011 in .40 but all my other pistols are 9mm so I've been thinking about selling off my 2011's and getitng a Shadow 2 and maybe a SP-01 to try carry optics. I have a G19 with a RMR now so I like shooting with a RMR but I prefer the feel of a metal frame.

 

Has anyone dumped their limited gear and regreted it later?
