YVK

I've had one for 9 years or so, but not a whole lot of use. Battery life is decent, 8 MOA dot is bright indoors but I have done a very limited shooting in bright outdoors. My biggest criticism is that the window is quite small.

It has been posted on that site for close to a year, and nobody this side of the Atlantic has seen one live. Not even sure if anyone that side of Atlantic seen it live too except for those who put that picture on their site. I am personally not interested in the L but wanted the OR, which has been posted there for just as long as the L. Nobody here seen the OR too. Or the push button variants that some of top HK shooting team members expressed an interest in. From practical standpoint all that stuff is just as good as fiction.

Gonna be tight squeeze for weight, no? I checked my S2, scales for the grips and Henning extension on a mag, and it came to 44.2 oz.

For those who have no clue, like me, is a pic or a schematic possible to show what angle I am supposed to be looking at?

My solution was to get baseplates that don't need them. I did Grauffel's, Henning also makes one. The two downsides were cost and not being too conducive to a quick disassembly during matches.

Yes, happened to me once at an Area match. Gun had a 14 lbs spring with half coil clipped. I shot 270 trouble free rounds of match ammo the day before and I kept thinking how great that trigger felt. Come next day, after about 6 light strikes over several stages changed to a backup gun. Traditionally, mainsprings are indefinite life items but, as you said, if things are on the edge, you can come across thst. Could have been a bad spring too, I've had that with another spring in my S2.

Start with 14 lbs hammer spring and some vetted combination of an extended firing pin and spring. As mentioned above ^^^, 14 lbs mainspring will ignite good factory ammo with a high percentage. My problem with it was, as I already mentioned, that I would almost invariably get a light strike during a major match. Dumb luck, random occurrence, Murphy's laws, whatever you call it. The next step up would be a 15.5 lbs mainspring although I didn't particularly like the trigger. My personal solution, in an unlikely case I ever try Tanfo again, will be a boutique reloaded ammo like AA or Asym, or pay somebody to reload match ammo to a high quality for me. I myself won't be reloading any time soon.

With factory ammo that you listed and 14 lbs hammer spring, it is unlikely that you will have 100% ignition. The AE will be OK but you'll still be getting light strikes. I found the best success with Speer Lawman but this ammo is intended as LE practice ammo and is loaded to +P velocities

Depends on trigger weight for me. Wall induces anticipation so in general I prefer a rolling break. However, at low trigger weights this is much less of an issue. So for Glocks that are carried I like about 5 lbs trigger with a rolling break and for competition I don't care as long as it is 3.5 lbs or less.

I've both, trying to move from Stock 2 to Shadow 2 because I can't get Stock 2 run reliably. Ergonomically, main differences are grip size, balance, safeties and DA trigger reach/travel. Stock 2 has somewhat larger grip which is for many was a big point. This difference can be negated by using larger grips on CZ. Shadow 2 is slightly heavier and more nose heavy. A little less nose flip, a little easier to overswing on transitions. Safeties, I am not sure if they matter but if you're somehow at a slide lock, can't use strong hand thumb to drop it on Stock 2. DA trigger pull is shorter on Stock 2, I prefer it that way. Matter of preference, I like conventional rear sight on Stock 2 although Shadow 2 rear sight should be more robust theoretically. Magwell on Stock 2 is visually larger but due to internal geometry you can still have mags hang up there a bit. I reload Shadow 2 better. From a personal experience, and I understand that this will irritate some here, I think that Stock 2 are a crap lottery and this makes it unacceptable to me. Some run, some don't. I guess I didn't win this lottery. I have had two for two years, they started with a work over by Jim Bodkin, had to go to him once for a look-over, and then I send both to Joe Wilson at Patriot Defense. In between, Ned Christiansen looked at one of them. I've seen every kind of malfunction that exists. Last one, I sent a pic to Joe, he replied he had never seen it. The variance in dimensions is a well known fact, somehow people don't talk aloud about it. Barrel to slide fit issues, rear sight dovetail variances that made Primary stopped making dovetail mount optic plates. Joe couldn't fit one of his connectors in one of my Stock 2, having tried five of them, not enough space in there. With all that work, I now have one that runs more or less OK, yet still throws in a light strike with 14 lbs hammer spring on a Federal ammo. So, that's just one dude's experience. I am sure there is a bunch of people whose Stock 2s run. Mine don't, I have no expertise or time to fix them, and external sources that I mentioned above could't make it happen either. The only reason that I have Shadow 2 is because of that. Take that for what it is worth.

Thank you. What tube do you use, CZ or Mecgar?

for a Shadow 2. I am thinking of shooting Limited in 9 mm over the winter, simply don't want to pick 3-4 mags out of mud/snow. I presume I could just load my 17 rounders to the capacity but if I wanted to extend that to 22-24 rounds, what would be a good setup?

John, I've had these issues recurring from my early stages with Stock 2 for two years now. Joe worked mine over as well, I've tried different firing pins as well. They have become less frequent but never went away. I could go for several hundred rounds no issues, but two last majors, including nationals, I got one light strike each. I haven't clipped fp coils and haven't gone up to 15.5 lbs hammer spring. I got Shadow 2. I do have one observation. I don't think that factory Federal ammo means the same as Federal primers in quality hand reloads. I've gotten some AA ammo to run through my Stock 2 but frankly I am fed up and Shadow 2 now has its chance with me.

I've done some experimentation with an assymetric grip when I shot HK P30, as it is very easy to do on that gun with its replaceable side grip panels. I couldn't prove any practical benefit of that arrangement.

In my experience, the pull through is more universally accepted method. I do think that is important to not be dogmatic and let your sights dictate. Ernest Langdon was mentioned above, he is a big advocate of a non-stop trigger motion. I watched him shoot very small targets in DA once. There were times when hammer stopped moving - when he lost required sight pic or alignment and needed to readjust that before finishing the pull. It doesn't mean he was staging, he wasn't or didn't intend to, but from outside it looked all the same as if he was staging. I do intend to pull through every time. However, if I am practicing a 25 yards upper A shot and the sight pic is not there, I will stop pulling until I get a pic.

Recent owner, just picked up Shadow 2 from a friend who got it from another friend. Gun was unfired. It has a CZ Custom work-over with 13 lbs mainspring, competition hammer and disconnector, light firing pin spring and extended CZC firing pin. One thing, that has nothing against gun itself, is that 0.160 Dawson sight actually turns out to be .190 due to excessive clearance over the slide, the provided set screw is wrong size, and cross pin started to walk out after 120 rounds. Maybe I didn't drive it in right, who knows. The disappointing part with the gun were two light strikes on a factory Federal American Eagle ammunition, 115 grain if that matters. Both were in a single action mode, first two rounds of a session as I was zeroing the gun. Both rounds ignited from DA and SA out of my carry PX4CC that actually has a reduced power hammer spring. No problems with the remaining 98 rounds of Fed and some 20 rounds of WWB that I had with me but I am bummed a bit. The reason I am trying to switch from my Stock 2 is just that, having a gun that can run reliably with factory ammo. Reloading is not going to happen for me.

It is a typo, 9 and 0 being next to each other on a keyboard. It was a Glock 19 with a DeltaPoint Pro.

A friend, who is a member here, shot day one of a level II match with a G19/RMR, and day two - with a G10/DPP; that was a couple of years ago. There was a significant difference in performance and placement during those two days. Granted, different stages, day to day variability because of shooter's factors etc, but I don't think he ever shot a match with RMR ever since. Shorter barrel is a non-issue for CO; however, there is a common opinion that larger grip of G17/34 allows to control the pistol better.

I don't know him or have his gear but he is [relatively] local and a couple of local GMs are using his holsters. I've examined those and I think they are excellent. If I truly commit to these Tanfos, I might get a setup from him.

Make sure to remove batteries after use. I left mine in for maybe 2-3 weeks, they oxidized and killed those plugs for good.

Not as much but I've never figured out how to adjust retention on mine for a wiggle free Stock 2 fit.

I have 5 GR mag pouches for my Production rig and I find them average. Great idea but the execution is less than great. Unless the mags are set at their lowest ride point in their base slots, they don't stay where I placed them. They slide down and I had to shim them in their slots at their desired heights. I set them at somewhat complex angles, trying to capitalize on 360 degree adjustment option. Each pouch has its own little orientation. I love that part, allows for much less interference when accessing those mags. Unfortunately, several of them twist a little at the attachment point (mag body to that metal ball thingy). I had to literally try each different pouch for each different belt position to see if it'll stay solid at an angle I wanted it to stay at. I am more or less there but pouch # 2 still shifts a bit. Metal "rectangles" that slide into the plastic belt slots are of different thickness on my pouches. I can't think of a reason why that would be good. Another GR user that I know lost the mag body screw and can't find a replacement. I loctited mine in after that. I think they probably would work very well at their lowest ride position if set at a traditional bullets forward or bullets out orientation. I wouldn't recommend them for someone who might think that they would stay put at all kind of angles that their design allows to attain. I don't know if all metal execution would have been better.

Absent any required [safety] standards or [testing] requirements , should this issue ever arise in court, the factors that become relevant are "reasonable" expectations (usually defined by expert witnesses and generally based on historical performances of similar devices or products), degree of risk and potential consequences to the users, damages that have already occurred, company's openness and willingness to correct the problem, and perhaps some other factors.

How often does that happen? I don't own a Lim or Open gun but on my custom 1911s triggers and trigger shoes are lightened to a minimal weight and there is no trigger bar with its weight attached to them. From what I understand of SIG recall, their primary solution is to lighten the entire lock work and that should be sufficient. Aren't game 1911/2011 already set with a very light components. That's an honest question. I am aware of muzzle down drop discharges and testing on series 70 guns but never heard of trigger bounce drop discharges.
