I just received mine this week. So far I really like it.

I took the Rifles Only "Precision Rifle 1 & 2 Combo" five day course last month and highly recommend it. Jacob Bynum is an outstanding instructor and has a great facility in Kingsville. I would go back in a heartbeat!

+1 on rifles only. Jacob is the man. I just attemded their competition course in Colorado. I try to take 1 a year. Can't go wrong.

If you want the Heinie sights you will need to have the slide milled for the correct dove tail. The CZ Custom SDPs have them. The P01 I have has a Heinie rear sight. I sent the slide to CZ Custom and they milled and refinished it for me.

The Berger 300gr hibryds are great as are the Forster dies. Have you looked at the Hornady 285's? There is a bullet test on Sniper's Hide and they got the top spot for accuracy. I just received some but have not had the time to work up a load for them yet.

Just had my shadow out today with the short reset modification. WOW!
After a mag or two of familiarization. Really liked the way the trigger felt.
CZ Custom guys, excellent work, I am very happy!

All the above are good suggestions. If you continue to have issues, you might want to consider getting an extended firing pin and associated spring. Both CZ custom and CGW have them. I tend to stick to federal primers for my shadow. It is very reliable.
Good Luck!

CZ SP01 Shadow Target in Production and CZ 85D Compact SDP from CZ Custom for carry. Carry gun is a decocker.

Check the adjustment of the "fail safe" rod. I had a similar problem and it turned out that I didn't have the rod tensioned properly. The powder measure would bind a bit instead of moving up smoothly. This caused the bell to be more than it should intermittently.
There are details on how to set the tension properly in the manual. Did the trick for me...
Good Luck!

I would go with Montana Gold 124gr JHP or FMJ, Zero 124gr. FMJ or 125gr JHP for bullets.
VV N320, Titegroup, or Win 231 for powder.
Federal, federal match, or winchester primers.
All the above are in wide use and will serve you well. Lots of load data out there as well. I currently load MG 124FMJ with 4.1gr N320 with Federal match primers using a OAL of 1.10 and couldn't be happier (out of a (CZ SP01 Shadow).
Lots of other choices.

You may need more tension (bend toward muzzle) on the left leg of the sear spring. Sounds like the sear isn't holding the hammer.
Good luck!

Dawson has a great bomar sight that has a .130 wide notch. If you like a little daylight around your front sight. Put one on my PII and love it.
-
STI Trojan and Dan Wesson Heritage (RZ45) are good choices at that price point. Hard to go wrong with either.
-
I believe the short extended basepads from CZ Custom will fit. You'll get a couple of more rounds. Maybe more if you want to play with springs and followers (Grams). Give them a ring I'm sure they'll have something.
Good luck and lets us know what you end up with.

Add another vote for N320. I use MG 124FMJ out of my CZ SP01, 4.2gns makes about 131PF.
By the way, Powder Valley just got a shipment of Vhit in the other day. They are fully stocked on all Vhit powders...including the elusive 4lb N320!
CZinSC,
What OAL are you running with that load?
Thanks

I like the Lazerlyte trainer. They have a target with sensors. You don't see where the shots went until you hit the special area to display the hits. I think that helps to keep you from developing the bad habit of looking for your shot.
It aint cheap but I have seen them for around $130 on line. They have a couple of different models of lasers. One looks like a bore sight, the other is a cartridge version that fits in the chamber and is caliber specific.
I think it helped my dry fire practice. Can't do everything with it, but it is useful.

Thanks for all the suggestions and the welcome! I will hunt down a standard slide release lever and give it a try. I'll also checkout my grip.

I was shooting a match yesterday and during a stage my slide locked back even though I still had rounds in the magazine. I didn't notice anything unusual about the round when it went off, it knocked the popper down. I also didn't "feel" anything unusual. Any suggestions for things to check out? Here are my details.
New G35 approximately 400 rounds through it. New glock factory 15 round .40 mag. Federal Champion 180gr .40 ammo.
Thanks for the suggestions...

JP MKIII Rapid Config for me. Not the lightest but damn comfortable and looks cool.
