Easier to handle without the bill on the end of the mag, easier seating with added separation between bottom of mag and strong hand, extra weight for mag to drop free during reload, place to grip if something gets jammed up. Definitely worth it.

Mothers works well too. If you have any of the above you will do fine.

Need recommendations: CGW vs CZC hammer. anyone try both? I have used CZC in the past on SP01 but wondering about CGW in a S2? T1 vs T3 disco. Sounds like some people still have to fit the T1, so is it necessary take the extra time on the T3? seems like a T1 with hopes that it drops in with no travel is the way to go. I have fit a t3 before but doesn't sound necessary. stock vs CGW adjustable sear? better? only fit stock in the past. who has tinkered with the S2 the most and can share the best setup so far...

+1 on the palm swell bogies I didn't know about the +1/16 so I have the standard. I was using DAA wide grips but these seem to lock up in the hand much better than the flat sides of the DAA.

Definitely modified, so yes obviously it should be better. I was just saying I probably could have waited for CZC to do it for me and wanted to see if anyone here ordered theirs that way.

Springs, trigger especially in double action, and an overall polish of the slide rails and internals. It's really good for a stock gun but still leaving more to desire compared to how smooth my SP01 shadow is.

It’s probably going to be awhile before any shadow 2 specific accessories are available; but I could definitely use some thicker grips asap.

Did anyone order any custom work? Just wondering what the turnaround time would have been. I got too excited and just wanted to get it in my hands. Mine needs a little work.

I went through 2 or 3 springs in about 5K live fire rounds, with a lot more dryfire pulls in between that, but who counts dry fire cycles so its really hard to say how long they last. All I know is if you every have to change one out during a match, you will be glad you have several spares since they get lost in the gravel very easily when you fumble one.

They weigh in at 0.60 oz

They are aluminum. I will post weight later.

With no other reviews I could find, I went out on a limb and ordered a six pack of Henning production base pads for my stock 2. I have only done a little dry fire with them but so far I am happy with the decision. The front blends into the magazine so well, it really does provide a great grip. This also helps eliminate the occasional pinch of skin between the base pad and magwell. I usually run grip tape on the bottom but I don't think that's necessary on these. Probably will have to clean out the grooves after dropping them in the mud but that's better than dirt stuck in grip tape. Seems like a good product at a good price.

My comptac has plenty of adjustment and never had it bind. Beyond adjustment; I doubt its a technique issue so I would make sure the holster is for a shadow.

If you are not manually lowering the hammer, you should never have a DA pull, so its basically SAO anyway. Remove the take up like suggested above and you have the best of both.

I was using daa thick grips and just tried a pair of the factory rubber. The rubber are a more contoured fit and seem better for one handed shooting but they dont give me enough room for the support hand during freestyle shooting, so back to the thick daa.

The base pad weight will help with gravity, along with any unfired rounds between positions.

Thank you! That makes perfect sense as it pertains to the springs as it feels like when the mag release is pressed it just doesn't have enough pop to push it all of the way out like I am accustomed to with the M&P. I will order a few packs of springs and hopefully that fixes the issue. I didn't think the +10 springs fit the Mecgar mags. Maybe someone else can confirm.

I had the same problem at a match last week. It was either because the mags were not clean by dropping them on a wet range or because of the liquid grip i just put on my hands. Either way I applied some oil and wiped them off and everything dropped free on the next stage.

I think there is a benefit to riding the safety for recoil control, especially during one handed shooting. However, it's something else I have to think about. My natural grip would be on it, but not necessarily pushing down which still caused accidental engagement. The heavier springs would probably help keep it from creeping up and be a good solution if you like the feel. To me the safety sometimes felt too big and in the way, so I ended up going with the thin safety. At first I thought I was giving up a lot of control but now I don't even notice it. The benefit of not having to think about it or ever accidentally bumping it well outweighs the control.

Never had any issues with stock extractor, but if you want 100% reliability I would change it. I didn't change it because I went back and forth between 40 & 9. The 40 extractor works with 9 but not the other way around.

I had a gen 4 G23 to G19 lone wolf with no issues.

Anyone order a spare rear sight in case it gets lost during a match? If so does the replacement need fitting? I was hoping to order a spare and fit it tight.

I thought the broken TRS was good for dry fire also. Too bad I don't have a backup gun; I would leave it that way. It's a little lighter for the DA pull, but great for SA simulation.

CZC SP01 Shadow: 4.12# DA, 2.25# SA with CGW 8.5# spring & 5.25# DA, 2.25# SA with CGW 11.5 spring. The 8.5# spring definitely does not work without Federal primers. Currently I have a mixed bag of primers so I am using the 11.5# spring. Im not sure if the reduction of 1# DA is worth the reliability. I have been thinking of trying to reduce the SA pull; not because it needs it, but because I own a trigger pull scale and the .25# ignites my itch to tinker with it.

You are going to get recommendations for about every grip out there. Personally I went from thin aluminum, to think aluminum, to DAA grips because I wanted the widest grip out there. The point is, keep trying different grips until you find what fits your hand the best or what shoots well for you. Sell or trade what doesn't work in the classifieds.
