I like the mecgar with CZC basepads bc they are a tool-less solution. TTI and Springer both require tools. Use the CZC springs followers for max rounds.

Which CZ spring kits are you using? I see 10 and 13 coil. Thanks

One additional request / question, is anyone loading Montana Golds, and if so, which ones?
TIA.

Thanks for all the great info thus far. I just got a 929 this past weekend, so trying to figure out where to start for reloading. I've loaded many loads for 9mm auto, fwiw.

Is the web of your hand pushed up against the frame? Blisters are going to be caused by abrasion so the only way I could see that forming is if the frame is loose in your hand and rubbing against your skin since there's no obvious defect in the frame.
The only other thing I can think of which matches your description is that your grip has you rotated more around the right side of the gun so the frame is rubbing against the bone rather than just fat.
The gun is very tight in the hand, maybe too tight. Looking at the pics, I'm higher up on the gun then you. My thumb is coming to rest on the very top of the safety, not the safety ledge, the very top of the safety. As for being more around the right side of the gun, perhaps that is the case. However, I'm just about reaching the trigger in DA mode, so I'd be unable to wrap around any further to the left.
I do appreciate your efforts, but I'm thinking now that perhaps it's just not for me.
~thanks.

Its definitely the corner of the beaver tail. I can feel it diggering in just gripping the gun. I'll try to get a couple pics.

Are you sure it is the beaver tail digging in and not the safety as the slide cycles to the rear? If you are holding thumb high like a 1911 but your not on the safety my guess is that the safety is getting you. I don't see the beaver tail doing that to you unless you have very soft hands (not trying to be mean). Even then you would have to be squeezing hard but still getting a lot of muzzle flip for a smooth surface to leave that kind of blister... at least that's my guess.

I imagine the beavertail? Or if he shoots revolver grip then the extended safety I could definitely see causing that blister.
Yes, it's the corner of the beaver tail that is digging into me. I shoot the very common (for "us") thumbs forward grip, getting as high on the gun as possible. With a 1911, I ride the grip safety, however on the CZ my thumbs are too short to reach the thumb safety (my thumb IS positioned such that if it were longer, I'd be riding it).

I have bought and since sold my Shadow 2. It is a very nice gun and runs very well out of the box, but i have found a properly worked Tanfo to be more to my liking. Given what has been discussed on this thread re price points on the two guns in the US, I would be buying a New Stock 2 and fitting it with Patriot Defence parts. I think that’s the way to go. However in Australia I recommend buying the Shadow 2 as it is signifcantly cheaper and really needs no real work.
I'm strongly considering selling my Shadow 2 as well. Thought I'd be the first on the buy / sell.

Give Patriot Defense a call. They do outstanding work.

the positive difference in grip is the main reason i like the shadow two so much more than the regular sp01 shadow. zero discomfort or rubbing or new callous with the shadow 2.
i'm running vz grips, what are you running?
Is this question to me? I'm running the factory grips that came on the gun.

Why would you not keep yours???
See my post on the previous page.
Some dry firing and 200 rounds down range and I was bleeding. Grabbing the gun high, and the corner really dug into me. I let a friend of mine put a few rounds through it, and he felt that "corner" digging into him as well, but with only a few rounds he didn't handle it enough to draw blood. Don't think I can shoot a gun that causes me such discomfort. I find it odd that I'm the only one reporting this, as I'd think most of USPSA shooters like to grab our guns very high and tight.

I just checked the USPSA web site list of approved guns.

So, I saw a Shadow 2 at a local shop. I messed around with it quite a bit, and just happened to notice that the corner in the beaver tail area was a little uncomfortable in my hand. Still, the impulse buy won out, and it came home with me. At my very first range outing, it gave me quite a blister. Am I the only one this is happening to? I got a chance to hold a Stock 2, and it felt more comfortable in my hand. I guess I'm going to have to go that route, cause this isn't going to be fun for me to shoot at all.

I would say yes... as long as you are installing and talking about running it with the "extended safety" that comes with it but not shipped already on. The extended safety is a bit larger than the stock safety on the 1 but is only on the left/one side extended (which left hand shooters are likely not pleased about but I love it just sticking out on one side). I noticed when comparing with the S1 that the "ledge" is a bit larger and really allows even more of your thumb to "ride" the lever... for those who shoot it that way. I think you'll find it better Bucky but I'm not sure how much your missing the S1 by.
Thanks for the info. On the Shadow 1, I can just about touch the safety, but not enough to disengage it. I prefer a large single sided safety on my 1911s, so it sounds like the optional safety on the Shadow 2 may be just the ticket. I'd have to assume since it comes with the gun, that it would be legal to use once the gun is approved for production, being a factory part.

I shot a P30L for about a year in Production. Mine is a standard DA/SA in 9mm. I found the gun to be noticeably more accurate than my G34. Great gun, would be better if they went for a full 5" in their "L" model.

Hello everyone, I wanted to send out a quick update on my original post. I ended up buying a Shadow 2 and was able to get it to the range for its first work out during my lunch hour. I brought along my Stock 3 for comparisons. Only was able to shoot a round of Dot Torture and some distance drills with both guns to compare perceived recoil as well as how both sights return to target and timing on each.
The Stock 3 gun feels a tad better in my hand. I wear a large size glove and its a large frame gun. The CZ feels just slightly smaller and the blackstrap of the grip is contoured just a tad different than the Stock 3. When shooting they both feel the same though. The new checkering on the front and back of the grip on the S2 are very well done. Much better quality than the Tanfo's similar checkering.
The S2 has a tighter slide to frame feel to it than my S3 but that could be due to it being new and my Stock 3 having almost 2000 rounds through it.
I put 85 rounds through the gun today shooting 135g Blue Bullets over 3.2g of PrimaV. This load makes 130 PF out of my Stock 3 so not sure what the Shadow 2 does yet. Maybe next range trip I'll bring the chrono. As far as perceived recoil goes, I'd say in my opinion, the Stock 3 was just ever so slightly less in felt recoil than the Shadow 2. I fired freestyle, strong, and weak hand to verify this observation. Both guns recoiled up and torqued to the right slightly in about the same manor when shooting. Also, both guns sights seemed to return about the same on target for me with the S2's slide having a bit more velocity than the Stock 3. If I didn't have both guns on hand today I wouldn't have noticed the differences.
The only thing I've done to the S3 is replace the main spring with a 11.5lb. Recoil spring and everything else is as stock. I must say I'm actually impressed with its trigger! Pull is butter smooth and the DA is averaging 7lb .4oz and SA is averaging 3lb .4oz. I'd like the DA to be a bit lighter but I am totally happy with the crispness and weight of the SA. Hardly any creep and short reset. I actually like it as much as my Stock 3 that has had every PD spring installed, bolo, and Titan hammer plus full polishing on all friction points. Compared to my old CZ SP01 Shadow, that needed a lot of polishing and trigger upgrades to get rid of the grit and pull where I wanted it, this new S2 is miles ahead for a new gun.
I would agree that in this guns case, it truly is about ready for competition right out of the box at least for my shooting style. Well done CZ!
Nice write up. Thanks.

For anyone who has one, is the safety easier to reach than the Shadow? I heard the trigger reach was better, but was wondering about the safety. I just miss the safety on the Shadow with my short thumbs.TIA

A. There's nothing to prevent retarded-capacity states from shooting CO. They just have to use retarded-capacity mags.
B. Sounds like those folks need to change the vote or move.
Having escaped from NJ myself, I understand the move part. Unfortunately, too many are unable.
But if we're so against mag restrictions, why have any? Let people round their 33 rd Magazines.
