My Favorite are the Mec-gar 17 rounders, or 10 rounders, which is the same tube as a 17 with a dimple to stop them at 10. I had springer basepads at first but now run the Henning's in production because I like their shape better than Springers. I also like the 16 rounders with rubber basepads for indoor action shooting. I still keep factory mags due to having unmodified Pre-B 75s that Mec-Gars don't fit in. I haven't had the balls to detail strip them and open them up to accept all 75B mags.

I agree that it's all personal preference. I shot an Shadow SP-01 for a few years, did a season with the S2 and didn't like the difference in the frame so I sold it. I currently shoot a CTS LSP with the short dust cover. Adding Lok palm swells feels perfect to me. I would love to try a Bull shadow but can't justify the expense.

I just bought a Phantom from PrimaryBruce which CJ did the work. He installed the CGW Pro-Package. Feels real nice and comparable to my Rami which CGW installed the pro-package on.

The 75 Shadow/SA uses the tumbler style safety. The SP-01 Shadow and newer SP01's use the "D-style" safety. The extended D-style safety has a relief cut so the safety can fully engage when using the extended slide stop. Check out this pic. I actually just bought a non-extended 75 slide stop by mistake if you want to trade me for that extended. Hit me up in PMs.

I have been using a LSP I picked up on the forums here for the last three months and love it. My transitions have improved shooting the 42oz LSP compared to the 47oz S2 I shot last year. I decided I didn't like the new grip profile of the S2 (I have large hands). Prior to the S2 I had shot a Accu SP-01 for a few years. I'll take the longer slide of the LSP over the heavier dust cover of the SP01.

They look great! I might have to order the same.

I bought the limited/open magwell from CGW but as stated I can't find it offered any more. You can still buy from SP direct here: https://shop.springerprecision.com/product.sc?productId=400&categoryId=99 You would have to get their magbreak as well. I prefer SP's style over the CZ-UB magwell that flares out the bottom of the grip and requires shorter grips to install.

I use the hornady 9mm bullet feeding system. I've cracked three of the collets. On my last call to customer service I was informed my issue was brass and expansion related. I was told I need to expand the brass way more than you would think, .384 at a minimum. If you aren't that wide the mouth of the case will go too far into the collet and eventually crack the collet. I use xtreme plated and I've stopped breaking collets and get about 97-99% of the bullets to drop. I still have to "loosen" a bullet or two with a push from the bottom with a tool. Reading these replies i might have to swit

I recently switched from LOK palm swells to LOK S2 palm swells on my shadow 1 frame. The top portion on originals flared too far and messed with my weak hand grip and occasionally my trigger finger would drag. I took a file to them and it helped. Once I saw the S2s i gave them a shot and have been satisfied. I took some pics. As you can see they don't come up as high as the non-S2 version. LOK did offer to exchange grips but couldn't accept them since I modified them. They gave me a very nice discount to but a new set.

I used an EGW for a few years and just bought the shockbottle this month... why did I wait so long?

CZ Shadow 1 or 2 - Install of Single Action Trigger
Haywizzle replied to Orbit's topic in Handgun Techniques
Best part of the straight SAO triggers are the pre-travel and over travel screws. The pre-travel can get rid of any take up you might have on a DA/SA setup. Try it out for 40 bucks. If you don't like it then you can change it back in 5 minutes and sell the SAO trigger. I would also suggest CGW's floating trigger pin if you start changing out triggers as the factory roll pin is trash after you remote it.
