They sell targets that light up where the laser hit, just like a bullet hole. The cool part is you shoot the corner of the target and it resets. you can find youtube videos of the targets. I would think a laser in the constant on would be helpful with breathing, trigger control, etc.

I ordered from dawson a black blade front .090 (wish I had gone a little thinner). I suggest removing the sight and measuring it in inches dawson wont do the math to convert from MM's. Also dawson measures from the bottom of the dovetail to the top of the sight as many others have pointed out, where as CZ measures the bit protruding above the slide. Also, it seems that there are some really weird combinations of front and rears on CZ so it is worth measuring your sight before you order a one off custom part. I did not measure mine before ordering, but used the CZ posted measurements from this forum and it came out really tall, but I cut it down with files and emery paper, it was no big deal. Dawson makes some pretty nice sights, and you do not have to drill and install a pin like the sights from CZ, these are held in place by a very small set screw, which so far seems to be holding up.

Thanks that is helpful. I think I am going to stay stock and change out the front for a narrower blade.

I have a factory shadow from the custom shop with about 1K rounds through it. I thought that the shadow came with the competition rear sight, however when you go on the CZCustom they have http://czcustom.com/CZ-Competition-Rear-Sight-1.aspx listed as different than the shadow factory sight. Could someone tell me the difference between the shadow factory and the comp rear. Does anyone have experience with both, is it worth 45 dollars to change to a comp rear plus the cost of switching to the comp hammer since the rear sight doesnt work with the factory hammer. Thanks for any feedback

yep put me down for one as well.

Finally saw topshot the other night on DVR. Does anyone know the brand of the blue and red rain jackets they wear in couple of the episodes. Not the track jackets but the rain jackets with the flaps or pockets on the front. Figured they would be cabellas brand but havent been able to find them.

Quick question. I have an 11lb spring (recoil) in a shadow for light reloads. If I shoot white box occasionally with the 11lb spring will the pistol be damaged? Usually I shoot with a 14lb for factory loads. Thanks in advance for any help

I am new reloader and was fortunate to get 1000 Zero 124 gr FMJ and 500 lead round nose (betterbullets.com) for pretty cheap. I would like to use titegroup powder with mixed remington and wwb brass I have. And my gun is a CZ Shadow. I cannot find load data in the books I have for the Zero fmj or brand of cast bullets I have. So my question is how do I safely extrapolate load data for OAL and charge weight from one type of bullet to the ones I have? is it safe to substitute OAL for one brand of 124 gr FMJ to another or could there be a difference in bullet lengths that would cause unsafe pressure. Thanks in advance

Is that converted to SAO or is the trigger double action but just straighter than the stock trigger.

Neal Sounds good let me know your paypal or other payment preference and other info

Neal Sent you a PM

I tried to order the light blue aluminum grips (thin and long)from CZ custom and they sent me dark blue almost black grips. When I emailed them they seemed to indicate that they are no longer making the light blue grips, and they offered to exchange for a different color (CZ Custom is always really pleasant). I know its just ascethetics, but if I am paying $$ bucks I would like to get the proper color. Does anyone know where to get the light blue thin long aluminum grips new or used? Help would be appreciated.

Can anyone do this with a CZ shadow stock spring and hammer down? I practically have to hold it with my feet and use both hands to rack the slide. The first time I handled a shadow at a gun show I could barely get the slide back. My dad thought I broke the gun, and we calmly and quickly walked to another booth.

The thumb thing describes it perfectly.

Curing the Double vision issue. If you are a right handed, right eye dominant shooter, there are not many posts to help you correct this problem. I can tell you what worked for me, and try to explain my sight picture. Relax your eyes and allow them to go slightly out of focus. To better explain this, try to focus as if you were looking at one of those 3- dimensional photos you see at the mall, you know the ones that have a hidden picture of a schooner or a dolphin. My sight picture has the target slightly out of focus, front sight in focus but not as sharply as other members here describe. I think the ideal focus is one just good enough to distinguish spatially where the front sight is on the target. I see through my right hand and the rear sight as if it were superimposed on the target. I think the doubling comes from focusing too hard on the front sight which makes you go cross eyed resulting in a doubled target. Try to think of it this way, you are not focusing on the front sight, just looking at the entire picture in your field of vision, the gun and your hand just happen to be there. It took me about 600 rounds to figure out my proper sight picture. Once I started using this focus my groups at 12 yards dropped from 3 inches down to 1 inch and change, and I am now ready to move the targets back. This sight picture and focus also cured my slight left shot push, I believe I was getting confused about which double of the target to shoot. Also, I can now call my shots accurately. When the target doubles it is nearly impossible to figure out where on the target the front sight is at moment of recoil. What is the cause of double vision? I have no idea, but I would be interested in knowing if any other shooters that double up have one eye with slightly better vision over the other. I am 20/20 in the left and and slightly worse than 20/20 in the right but do not wear glasses. Hope this helps

Can a shadow be converted to .40 by swapping slides, barrel etc.? I haven't been able to find any info on this. Thanks.
