I can't say that was fun but I took it completely down and got it back together. It will be a lot easier next time but I think that trigger spring will still suck. Thanks for help everyone.

I like the way it looks but it has already worn from holster wear. I have it about 6 months but I also dry fire 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. It is worn at the muzzle area and around the trigger guard in the place where it contacts the holster. It doesn't both but some people are very picky on guns staying like new.

It will help you for sure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEpBAoxpRxI&feature=player_detailpage It;s the same gun and you'll see the trigger spring assebly at about 5.04 min. It's not difficult anyway. Manolis Awesome video. Thanks for sending that. I'm not sure why I didn't think to search youtube for a video. I should be able to follow that. Now the long wait for my part starts today.

Thanks everyone for the help. I should have the springs on Wednesday so that gives me a day before I have to leave to figure it out. Strick, I'll take you up on your offer if I can't figure it out. I shot my 75bd tonight for the first time in six months after getting my Shadow and did about everything wrong with it.

As soon as I started dry firing my Shadow today my second "shot" the trigger stayed down. I took it apart and saw where the spring has broken. Of course I didn't have any spares on hand and I am shooting the Texas State Open this weekend and I'm taking the Phil Strader course. My back up gun is a 75BD but I'd rather use the Shadow if at all possible. I just called CZ custom and they are shipping some next day to me but I don't know how to change it out. Does anyone on here have a guide they can point me to on how to change this out? I'm not much of a gunsmith but I'd like to be up and running ASAP so I can get to dry firing and get ready for the match. Thanks in advance and at least it didn't wait until during the match to do this.

I would love to get my hands on that to try out. Not planning on switching from production anytime soon but one day I'd like to try the CZ TS and that is the best looking one I've seen.

I've owned both Sig 226 and several CZ's. I shoot a Cz Shadow now. I chose based on feel, trigger, and perceived recoil. I do agree that it is just opinion. They are both reliable guns. Pick whichever you like better and that will be the one that makes you happy.

Who should I check with to see if my application has been received? Haven't seen the check clear and I was curious.

They are a great company. I have placed two orders with them. They have the best prices as well.

The CZ is the reward for doing right. If you want I can have George do his thing to you if you don't follow through. Does that sound better?

Jeff, I am willing to step up and assume the duties to make you better. As long as we remember it is for your own good.

I assume you still have to thread your barrel correct?

Keep us updated on this. Interested in the build.

I have tried the following in order of my favorite. Precision or BBI 147 moly coated. w/ 3.5 grains of Solo 1000. The Solo is the softest load I've used and doesn't smoke up the moly too bad. BBI 130 grain moly coated w/ 4.0 grains of Win 231. Nice load but dirty. A little snappier than the 147s if you like that. Precision or BBI 147 moly coated. w/ 3.6 grains of Win 231. Very dirty and a has a lot more bark than the Solo. My OAL are 1.10 for the 147s and 1.125 for the 130. I tried the 147s longer but they would contact the rifling in my barrel. I've considered having it reamed but it works so I probably won't bother. I just recently bought the Solo 1000 but it cam highly recommended by quite a few people. I am interested in trying it with some Berry's bullets as well. Powder Valley has good prices on them now that they are back in stock.

I use it just like you were shooting it. The first shot in dry fire is the double action and the following shots I just release it to where I think the reset button is and click it again. It is not perfect but I think it is better than doing 6 double action shots in a row which is not very realistic in what you do when you shoot. I don't want to get in the habit of letting my finger go well past the reset point.

George it looks awesome. Are you bringing it Monday night? I want to shoot it. Whit

I shoot production exclusively and would love 15 rounds. The last match I shot had 16 production shooters and I don't think one person had a gun that wouldn't take 15 rds or more.

Wolf springs is currently out of stock on the 10% mag springs. I am waiting on some. Also, CZ Custom does not list them as in stock but I haven't called to check.

Before I had a kid I would say I was in the 20k range per year. But I also had some subguns to feed. I am probably on pace for 5k this year judging by primer usage.

If I were to run it in limited I would make it SA only because of the flat trigger that they install.

I am currently set up to use my CZ 75BD in CR speed versa pouches. I received my new Shadow yesterday and the mags are very loose in the pouches. They basically fall right out. My old mags work in the gun but they appear to be the same size and fit fine in the pouches. I have tried tightening them all the way but it still is loose with the Shadow mags. Is this a known problem or something just for me? The pouches have the CZ spacer in them so I'm not sure what is going on. Any ideas?

Picked it up tonight. Really like it so far. I will not be able to shoot it until my Monday match but will get a little dry fire time with it. Really like the way the two tone looks in person as well. The action on it and trigger are very smooth. The mag release came in set up for a lefty and I had to figure out how to switch it but it wasn't too bad.

G34 cordy, You couldn't have told me about the additional trigger work prior to my order? Now I will always wonder how much better it could be. Mine is supposed to be in today and it has been a long day waiting on a phone call...

Just ordered the Shadow custom in duo tone today. Can't wait to get my hands on it. I shoot a 75bd right now so I'm looking forward to the trigger on this one.

Sounds like fun to have a team and support. Who needs a C class production shooter for their team?
