  1. "Most martial arts encourage ambidexterity by requiring students to do the same number of repetitions with the right side of the body as with the left." I taught Kenpo for years. One of the central tennents in my style was being equally proficient with both right and left sides. One interesting thing is that techniques were often taught weak side first. If you learn something on your off side first, it is easy to do the same with your dominant side. The reverse is often more difficult. The idea of switching my pistol over to my left hand is interesting, I may have to try it.. I'm right handed and left eye dominant. I also have astigmatism, so it is always interesting seeing everything I need.
  2. I am right handed, left eye dominant. I used to tape the left eye, but my vision is a bit better in that eye, so I now tape the right eye. I am picking the FS up much better during draws and transitions. Had to shift my hands to the left about 3/4 of an inch.
  3. How do we go about getting on the wait list if we are not a PMRPC member?
  4. The hammer position (down, half cocked, or fully cocked) has no effect on the safety switch. It moves up and down with equal force regardless. It's is really like the safety has no effect on anything unless the hammer is fully cocked, then it works perfectly. Basically a DA/SA gun like a P series Sig that you can also carry in condition 1 (cocked and locked).
  5. Sounds good. Thanks for all of the info
  6. I don't think the manual covers this. <edit:>it partially covers some of my question: "Since the trigger mechanism has been specifically adjusted, it is possible to move the safety onto the "SAFE" position even if the hammer is placed on the safety notch or leaned against the slide. In this case, however, it is not recommended to engage the safety because the trigger mechanism might be damaged when cocking the hammer by force. " <edit> I can flip the safety lever up with the hammer either down or cocked, with the same amount of force (minimal). Nothing needs to be forced. I can also cock the hammer with the safety flipped up, and it does not require any more force than it does to cock it with the safety down. I haven't forced anything. Basically, the gun ignores the position of the safety if I start with the hammer down. The only time the safety has any effect is if I engage it while the hammer is cocked. Then the trigger will not physically move. I was just wondering if that was the normal behavior, since I've never owned a pistol with a manual safety before.
  7. I just flipped the safety up,(didn't force it) with the hammer down, then pulled the trigger (didn't force that either). Maybe the safety lever flips up, but does not fully engage, when the hammer is,down. I'll double check that in a little bit - need to get it back out of the safe. Thanks for the tips
  8. Ok. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks!
  9. So is that normal for the Shadow Custom? I'm used to no safety, but It just seems a little weird that you can do a DA shot with the safety on.
  10. I recently received my SP-01 Shadow Custom Black (Item Number: 91029) from CZCustom. I'm used to shooting pistols without safeties (SIG P series, Ruger SP-101, etc). I am wondering about the function of the safety. If I cock the hammer with the safety already on (or subsequently engage the safety), the hammer will not budge when the trigger is pulled. So far as expected. If the hammer is down and I engage the safety, I am then able to pull the trigger (Double Action), and the gun will fire. I tested this out at the range. Is this normal for the Shadow?
