Will increase the throw tonight and see if I can get it where I want it.
Nerve racking.
If you take it a smidge too far you will not be the first.

Depends on how fussy you are.
My guns have PD bolo, Titan hammer, 1 piece sear, extended firing pin block, lighter hammer spring, PD or Xtreme extended firing pins & fp springs, reduced weight trigger return spring. Basically I just asked Joe at Patriot Defense what goodies to get for the best trigger I could get.
Lots of folks put in extra power extractor springs, I use stock unless I have an issue.
You do not need all that stuff but for me it is worthwhile.

The first two I did were drop ins.

There is what i use, and there is stuff that just takes up space

I personally think the msa are fine for my application but maybe my hearing is damaged enough to be tolerable. Ymmv is what I was trying to say.... but I guess according to that guy I'm wrong.
"If everyone agrees, then nobody is thinking"
I was surprised when I shot a friends open gun at how much quieter it was from the shooters position than from the r.o.'s position at the side, and, there is a wide range of sound pressure level with different open guns and loads.

So what are your thoughts? Worth it to pay the gun shop to do it? Is this a one off and if I move away another gun shop might charge me $50 or more?
I assume you can use it to fine tune point of aim at the range?
When I had CZ's with fixed sights and the CZ specific sight tool I used it a lot. If you have adjustable sights or are not obsessive-compulsive about poa then it may not be worthwhile.

I found this interesting. His bullet, hit the intended target (albeit on the edge) and then hit the no shoot. Thats no different than hitting it center mass on the intended target and it going through the no shoot behind it correct? Now it has me pondering....
The scoring rules are pretty clearly laid out in the USPSA rulebook. One case is a no-shoot penalty and the other one is not.
I think it is a good idea to either read the scoring rules or have somebody at the range explain them to you. That is not being snarky, it is a game, so there have to be rules.
I think with IDPA shoot throughs count, but it has been a while since I've looked at those rules.

Glock knuckle sucks.
Not just Glock, or IDPA.
No Dremel or file rules are stupid.

+ who can argue less capacity is better....hmmmm, nobody.
You might decide to become a nobody after a few matches
, for a 1911 person a soft shooting 9mm 1911 can be really nice.
Reloading is either part of the fun or a chore depending upon who you are talking to or how you are geared.

The last time I worked a level 2 the RM made sure that we did not have any line on top of line targets on my stage.
I think what one person would see as a sloppy set up another person would see as a set up that avoids scoring issues.

Then I would go find the MD, tell them about the issue and what I did to resolve it. 99% of the time they are fine with the fix I deployed and appreciate not having to deal with it.

Trying to remember how a CZ behaves when you bump the safety up a very tiny bit during recoil or reloading . In any case DSPerman extra power safety springs are a popular reliability mod.

Newbie type question:
Oh, good thing for a newbie to know is that some of the suppliers have forum discounts if you tell them you are a Benos person.

Is one of the versions of that grip + their system Magwell the new hotness for USPSA SS or is it something else?
Figured the op would want to know & I'm making the dive back in myself.

To my way of thinking it's well worth the cost just because it's so clean burning. Add to that it's anti-fouling capabilities and it's as about as good as powder gets.
A lot of buzz about the somewhat new Sport Pistol powder being a cheaper alternative.
Never bought VV because I never had a powder where I thought dirty burning was an issue, am about half way down on an 8 lb jug of SP though (147 gr 9mm loads) does seem like it is cleaner than what I'm used to.

Given that I shoot a shadow in production and am used to the first trigger pull how much a disadvantage will it be in limited?
0.05 second per stage on average.
(0.0 most of the time but there will be that stage once in a while where you start with a really tough shot and take more time to insure a smooth pull)
Pure wild guess

LOL...I know. When I was looking at prices, in the back of mind I was already adding $250 for the cool internals.
Wise man.
The S2 out of the box is nice, but if you are used to a really well set up CZ then you will want to get it to that level (at least I did).

I believe the only real difference with the Tanfo models is less reciprocating mass, the slide. I've never noticed any differences in accuracy between bull and straight barrels. A stock 3 with a straight barrel doesn't have a bushing like a CZ or 1911, but they are just as accurate.
It depends.
You can buy a 1911 that has been proven to shoot 1.5" or better 50 yard groups and I think CZ Custom makes similar guarantees on their accuracy-bushing guns (not sure about CZC, from memory). For strictly off the shelf guns priced about the same, then I think you are correct. -
My order of preference was:
Tango stock 2 or 3 or LP
CZ SP01 variant
CZ Shadow 2
They are all fine guns but I wouldn't assume you will like any of them better than what you have, best to shoot a friends gun or at least handle all of them.

I am not sure TGO even went 1,1,2
Not sure how often these guys shoot 3 divisions? In any case the recent accomplishment is indeed impressive.
I was always impressed by TGO winning SS nationals and then Revolver the day after, largely because I can't imagine making that big of a switch that fast.

It's more trouble than it's worth
Shocking that you would say something like that about any fiddling with a gun.
Shocking I say.

New version of stock 1, IDPA legal, available now but I think they are priced a bit high at the moment.
Limited pro's are still supposed to be shipped this year, they are a little late, I think they were initially looking for them to arrive mid to late summer.
