On my SP01 Shadow1 Custom I switched the steel guide rod over to plastic to lighten the front end for different balance, on my CZ85C I switched to full length steel guide rod to increase front end weight to make it balance a little more similar to the Shadow
just gives an option to adjust the feel of the gun to your preference.

You can install a shorter front sight. Use Dawson’s calculator to figure out what you need
Agree Dawson’s calulator and get a new front sight from them, good to go

FWIW, an SP-01 will fit in most Shadow 2 holsters, but not vice versa. I shot an SP-01 for a couple years before getting a Shadow 2, and still bring the SP-01 my backup gun. But when I finally buy a proper backup gun, it will be another Shadow 2.
A cheaper backup gun that fits the same holster is what I have done so far. Certainly identical backup would be nice but don’t want to spend the money. Any backup at all is vastly better than none!

I do like my PST G2, but wish it had the JM-1 BDC reticle.
If Steiner would do a 1-6x24 PX4i with their same reticle for under 800$ I'd buy it right now.
That is for sure! I love my P4Xi for woods deer hunting and would like a 6X model for more open terrain on my other deer gun. (note this is in Illinois so long range deer shot is still just 150- 200 yds and under with shotgun slug)

Might be easier to just shoot it the way you always do, hammer down, double action first shot , simpler to not add anything to your regimen

I shoot in Florida and it is very interesting what Garcia and Smith have done at Universal Shooting Academy. They have created a multi-match staff shirt with the logos of their main matches (Florida Open, Florida State, IPSC Nationals, Monster Match, etc.). Over the past two seasons I have accumulated 3 pairs of long and short sleeve s#!ts and don’t pick anymore up when officiating those matches.
That range does an excellent job for sure

59 Oz weight limit means that we no longer need to worry about any weight restriction. Just get any gun you like and it will be within the limit.
Yep , probably they made that change so we could avoid all those complaints from those using guns a little too heavy for prior rules.
So what will people complain about now??? -
DPP Screws
in CZ
ACE Hardware for me too.
depending on the mount you might also be able to use the next longer screw for improved strength and less likely to loosen.

For somebody like my wife who doesn’t shoot much and is cross-dominent,
we have found that a carry optics gun (mini-red dot sight) works very well.

Another endorsement of the Steiner. I’ve had one several years now and love it. Great, clear glass and truly aimpoint bright dot. Total steal for what you pay for.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkMe too- I use mine for deer hunting in the woods, perfect for that, 1-4X is plenty for my purpose and dot and glass are very nice. Not as long physically as most 1-6X either

Any back up is way better than none!certainly an identical back up would be perfect but I went a different route which is to use a less expensive model from the same manufacturer which takes the same mags and works in the same holster.
Main gun: CZC shadow custom (S1) , full custom job by CZC. Slide milled by CZC for carry optics.
back up: CZ 85C bought used, with a few after market parts installed by myself. Slide still milled by CZC. Way less expensive and still shoots extremely well.
I agree with Chuck that it is very nice for the back up to use the same mags and holster.

This.
Some would ask/wonder if there was any reason for the initial weight limit? Was anyone in the industry pushing for a weight limit because they had a new, lightweight, optic ready gun that they wanted to sell a lot of? Was there any deals made?
Remember the initial weight limit was just 35 oz , limit was increased to 45 oz partly so we wouldn’t all have to worry so much about making weight. Only a very few gun models have to worry about weight now, much easier than before.

How many times can you reshoot a classifier? I didn’t know you could!
According to the rules only one so no big deal now. Used to be legal to reshoot over and over if approved by the Match Director but now only once.FYI in my seven or so years shooting USPSA I have never seen anyone do more than one reshoot on a classifier.

"get a 24 for Limited Major."
I got to watch Bob Vogel win Limited Division at Area 5 with a Glock 24 in 2012 (was on the same squad as he was)

You can test the waters in limited fairly well with just two extended mags supplemented by your 17 round mags as needed. Usually only one mag change per stage, sometimes two. Just try it a few matches and see what you think. For extensive discussion of different mag extensions and springs look at carry optics threads or just follow rowdyb’s advice, thats what I do.

Biggest challenge for me was remembering which of the two middle targets to engage from either position.
Yep, on my squad we also had two shooters with 6 shots on one middle target and 2 shots on the other. trickier than is seems.

raindrops on the lens can make the dot look irregular in shape, just put that irregular shaped dot in the middle of the A zone and shoot!

Thin safety
in CZ
20018 rules state you can replace safeties with OEM or aftermarket safeties. The rules do NOT say you can grind or modify the safety into a different shape.
In my opinion this alteration is not permitted by the current 2018 rules.
Looks like different people have different opinions regarding this topic so a risky modification to make.

in my SP01 Shadow i mostly shoot 124s as they are a little more accurate than 147s in my gun.
However I am happy to use whatever is available.

I cant help with what will fit the way you want, but I can tell you lots of people run DA triggers with the trigger in the fist joint as you describe.
Yep, this is how Ben Stoeger taught me when I took his class.

I have found that it honestly helps to take off your iron sights. You have to find that new index point and this is nearly impossible to do when weaning yourself off of iron sights. If you truly want to be able to find the dot every presentation you need to get rid of them in dry fire for sure. I understand that this may seem contrary to most people's beliefs as most will tell you "use your iron sights to find the dot." This is wrong. Find the dot by presenting the gun in the same indexing point every single draw. The only way not to cheat yourself from finding the dot is taking off your iron sights and learning the correct and consistent presentation of the gun.
Yep. How many Open shooters do you see using back up iron sights? None at all. Take your example from them.

I find that wearing a silicone wedding band relieves some of the pressure on my middle finger when shooting Glocks.
I am left handed as well and I find it helps to switch my wedding ring to my right hand for the match.
