Have put 20,000 or so of these through cz's, a weird thing is they always tell you to load short but for me to get reliable feeding I had to load to about 1.15 - shorter would give me just enough FTF issues not to trust them at a match.

I hit super senior this year, yesterday I made a BM, priorities change.

There is also a version out their that is gone over by CZ custom that is sold thru CZ USA if I remember right that's the 91764
Appears that your memory is working well. On gunbroker right now, this particular gun does not have the height adjustable rear sight or mag release tab.

It's not the muzzle that makes the gun go BANG!
It's the finger that needs training.
Or maybe sometimes the gunsmith

First I've heard of that in the US.......There are range in the rest of the world where you can actually see buildings a few hundred yards off the back berm and they have high muzzle DQ's.
Urban sprawl has made things dicey at 3 clubs in my local area. One club was able to fix safety issues by eliminating one bay, another finally won its lawsuit with a person that built a house near the range 20+ years after the range was built and then tried to sue it out of existence, another club scares me in that an a.d. during reload could shoot a passing car or one of the houses nearby.
I will get slaughtered here for this, but anyone who has shot many USPSA matches has seen reload a.d.'s, I just don't think it is that difficult to learn to reload with the gun pointed in a safe direction.

Just playing around it seems like a 20 yard zero might work pretty well for IDPA (I think the rules say max distance is 50 yards and unless it is a pcc only match anything past 25 yards has been the exception at matches I've attended). https://www.federalpremium.com/Ballistics-Calculator
Playing around is no substitute for actual field testing like rowdyb has done, but interesting. Intuitively the thing I like about a closer zero is that it should help keep folks from shooting the snot out of walls and windows on the very close targets, but again I yield to rowdyb's field testing and match experience.

sent you a message, not sure if linking to other forums is OK or not.
your SKU from above is the 10rd mag version, hi cap would be 91165.
91764 is the newer version with elevation adjustable rear sight, shadow2 safety, and mag button.
That is a lot that I did not know.
Darned confusing for my little mind when you have 3 different guns with the same name, I guess the lesson to be learned is maybe with CZ ignore everything but the stock number.
I glanced at your pm, went to check something else, and then your pm had disappeared, weird.
THANK YOU.

Thank you.

CZ 75 SP-01 - 9x19mm - SKU: 01165
For that gun it looks like the trigger likely does not have the short reset disconnector and I think the rear sight is height adjustable only (like the one on the TS Orange). Anybody that can confirm or deny those guess's I made from pictures and the factory write up or provide input on the Orange versus the SP01 accu shadow versus just the SP01 shadow - your input is appreciated. Other things, have seen them pictured with the mag release tab but don't see that in the write up - have heard that there is a CZ Custom SP01 Shadow Orange as well as the factory Shadow Orange (??) - am wondering if the factory Shadow Orange has had any revisions over time.
Personally I like CZ's but find it a major (giant, huge, and bigly) pain in the arse to figure out exactly what you are getting.

Negative. They each carry their own line of Tanfoglio stuff. The Defiant lineup is IFG and Witness is EAA
Thank you.

I think EAA and Tanfoglio are a match made in heaven.
It is all IFG instead of EAA now I think.

Sell it on gunbroker and lose $50-100 rather than dump more money than that into it which may or may not fix it.
If I could make myself pass along a problem to another enthusiast I would have done that - seems to be what happens based on me buying two (did I mention I'm an idiot?) turds that way.

What was ballpark cost without shipping?
Somewhere around $375 if they do the work I think.
Note, the ammo that is accurate and feeds reliably with your old barrel may not be best for the PD barrel.
My nickel. I would never buy another new Tanfo sight unseen, unless I had someone I trusted examine it before committing to the deal. This gun and a stock 2 40 caliber of mine were both apparently Monday morning manufactured, should have learned the lesson the first time.

With 160's , win brass, U-die and just crimping enough to bring the brass back to the bullet I almost do not have any issues with bullets walking - never had a known issue while shooting but have seen them get longer if say I shot 6 or 7 and left 1 in the clip. .
Am switching to the 125's - thought being that the critical contact area between brass and bullet will not change (tapered brass) and the inertia of the bullet in the brass under recoil (m*v) will be reduced by about 22%. Time will tell. Could be that the change to the recoil impulse using lighter bullets at the same power factor will work against me.

Seems like this one is going to end up ok.
With a PD barrel fit by their gunsmiths the slide feels tighter fit to the frame than the slides on my other Tanfo's. It is not, putting the oem barrel back in or just playing with the barrel out allows you to feel the slide to frame slop.
If you very gently ease the slide closed it will stop as shown.
On the first range trip I ran the first 10 rounds through it ok and after that I had two or three FTF's on every loaded to 10 round magazine. I also was disappointed with accuracy. Not fun.
Replaced the recoil spring I had been using (9lb I think) with the oem recoil spring. Tried it again today, shot only about 50 rounds, no ftf, accuracy seemed like it will be fine for USPSA/IDPA with a little sorting out of what it wants to shoot and a bit more break in. I use 20 yard head shots as my accuracy gauge, if I can get 10 for 10 freehand (when I don't screw up) I call that good.

I cut a little slack to new shooters. None to those who should know better. Don't like it? Too bad. The lesson is best taught by consistent and fair application of the rules.Consistent and fair by definition means everybody gets whacked or nobody gets whacked, when to be inconsistent and unfair is where things get dicey.
I try tp protect new shooters before they screw up but don't treat rule infractions differently with different shooters, not saying that is a better philosophy than anyone else's.

This is so true it's funny. So many tiny parts, tiny springs, "secret" levers (the detent to get the thumb safety all the way in), it makes you wonder about the mind of the cat who designed the gun.
I agree that you need guidance to learn the little tricks (use a closely sized slave pin when replacing the sear - a tiny Philips works great for positioning the sear spring - etc) , but to me it seems like after you have read the guidance and done it a few times you have sort of paid the price of admission and after that working on the safety style CZ's is no big deal and I think it is fun (sick mind?) . Have never touched a decocker style gun.

So basically, there's no reason why the Shadow 2, a gun made for production division, doesn't have a decocker?
Demand would need to justify the cost of cataloging and inventory, which might be pretty hard on a designed for competition right out of the box production gun. I think the subset of competition shooters serious enough to pay above $1000 for a competition gun but uncomfortable with lowering the hammer on a typical CZ or revolver might be very small.

Are the grip ergonomics identical between the 2 guns? Close? I typically wear a SM or Med glove. Can the 75 be tuned to the same extent that most people do to the Shadow? Any reasons not to get the 75? Any insights would be appreciated.
For me (6'1", probably average size hands for height) the ergo's are very different, no brand similarity at all. I sold a fully tuned SP01 and got the shadow 2, found that the 2 pointed high for me, felt nose heavy to me, and although the trigger was much better than the SP01 out of the box I ended up doing all the same things (sear, springs, disco, hammer, polish-polish-polish) to get it as good as my SP01 was.
Sold the S2 and got an SP01 Shadow and I'm happy again.
It all gets down to personal preferences or hand size, they are both good. If I was you I would do what it takes to allow me to lay hands on an SP01 and then decide.
Oh, SP01 vs SP01 Shadow, I would not sweat the difference. You can get a great trigger on either.

Once again, reviving an old post.
I had Pinnacle Performance cut my 929 to 5". If I would have had two of them, I would have the other cut to 4.25" just for IDPA.
Their rules say you can have an 8 shooter but only load six. I would not have a problem clicking on two empty chambers.... I count.
I can click on 2 empty chambers faster than I can insure the empty spots are correctly oriented during a reload, but either would be slow.

Ended up sending the gun to PD to see if they thought it was worth a new PD barrel, they did, should have some rounds through it next week.

I think it also has a lot to do with most matches being setup for hi-cap.
You are saying that high round count makes lo-cap guns less fun for you?

it's pretty much the assumption of *any* thread asking what gun I should buy. All I did was report my experience with the 2 guns in question.
Agreed. Gun to gun consistency is often assumed, no experience with DW here, my experience with Ruger is that they will no hassle warranty it if it is not within their specs but quality control is more similar to mass production than to custom.

I'd throw in "practice makes perfect". When I dry fire practice at home I always have a 180 that I treat as sacred, and I do the dicey stuff (reloading while moving toward your weak side - anything that seems to have potential for a problem) until I feel like I can do it with match nerves and not come anywhere close to the 180. Seems to help build confidence.
