Anyone try this powder baffle?
Does it feed better than without a separate baffle?

Yes hand loads. Yes they do fire on second hit. Kind of annoying.
I had the same problem when I switched from a 550b to an XL650. I wasn’t seating the primers well enough. That’s probably the issue.

CZ magazines, like GLOCK-brand-GLOCK mags, are extremely reliable, plentiful and inexpensive.

My CZ mags (Mec-Gar) have run flawlessly for years. Super reliable.
If you are taking the time to brush out all your CZ mags after every stage, instead of taping - you are part of the problem.

Bad luck for me. I installed 13 lb spring on my Shadow SP01 (with extended firpin) and are having 1% missfire with Ginex .
Hand-loads? Do they fire on the second DA shot?

Who, besides Blue Bullets, makes a Coated 135 gr Truncated Cone, Flat Point or similar bullet profile to a JHP?

Searched online for an 8# jug, and the cheapest I could find was $340 plus $50 hazmat & shipping.
Decided to check my local Sportsman's Warehouse, and they had one in stock for $289 so I grabbed it.
Anyone have a load for a Shadow 2 with 147gr FP coated?

Getting back into reloading 9mm with a new XL750. I used to reload on a 550B and XL650 a few years ago, but sold them.
I ran these dies with good success, passing case gauge 99%+ of the time:
- EGW Undersize Die
- Lee Powder Thru Die, MBF Powder Funnel
- Lee Bullet Seating Die, with custom bullet seating plug
- Lee Factory Crimp Die
I've heard a lot of shooters like the Redding Competition Seating Die, but I can't see paying over $100 when the Lee Bullet Seating Die is $21 and you can get custom bullet seating plugs matched to your exact bullet profile for $8.
Unless you are changing bullet types often? Can anyone sell me on the value of Redding?
Otherwise for my XL750, I think these will be my new dies:
- Lee U-Die
- Included Dillon Powder Die, SSI Alpha Dropper Powder Funnel
- Lee Bullet Seating Die
- Lee Taper Crimp Die
Thoughts?

What aftermarket accessories for the 750 do you feel are worth the money?

For USPSA / IDPA - which Rear Sight Notch width & Front Sight width combo works best for you?
I was using Rear .125 and Front .095 for a long time on my Shadow.
For "Competition" sight sets:
Sevigny Glock Rear .150 and Front .117Vogel Glock Rear .150 and Front .117 (are these the same?)
Taran Glock Rear .125 and Front .115
Dawson SP-01 Rear .135 and Front .100

Does anyone make sub-minor power factor 9mm? Looking for 110 PF out of barrel length 4 ⅜” or less without having to hand load.
CCP Division PF = 105

USPSA Production division requires the hammer to be down at the start of the stage. Cocked and locked or half cocked is not an option.
Many shooters have shot Production with a Shadow, including myself and have never been worried about dropping it from the time it takes to manually lower the hammer to taking the first shot.

Because it’s not drop safe anymore. At least much less drop safe than factory
Since this forum is based on competition shooting as opposed to CCW or home defense, that’s not much of a concern. If you are that worried about it, run it cocked & locked, or half cocked with the safety on. Or better yet, run a gun with a firing pin block like the SP-01.

with 14rnd CZ mag
@eerw Stuart, are there any thin basepads that you know of, that will work with the old 14-round magazines, and still fit the IDPA CCP box?
-
My question is: Why would you NOT want to install the Extended Firing Pin & Spring?
It's one of the least expensive things you can do to improve reliability.

What game are you shooting? It easily makes weight in USPSA
IDPA CO needs to be 45oz or less with optic and empty magazine. ESP needs to be 43oz or less.

Is CZ Custom the only shop to offer an RDS Fixed Sight Plate for the S2?
I want to be able to change from Optic to Iron Sights when switching divisions, and the Shadow 2 Optic Ready model is too heavy.

Shadow 2 in LO

It's faster than racking the slide. High primers are occasionally a thing.

I've cleaned my CZs multiple times in an ultrasonic cleaner. For cleaning solution I recommend:
- Simple Green Pro HD (purple)
- Distilled Water
- A 5:1 ratio of Distilled Water to Simple Green

Say you couldn't reload anymore...
What competition-specific ammo (130-ish PF) would you buy?
Anyone have good luck with these?
-
1. Has anyone done real testing on these? (Ransom Rest testing etc.)
2. How much of a difference do they make? Example:
groups @ 50 yards:
stock barrel = 5 inches
bushing barrel = 2 inches
3. Is one better than the other?

SP01 magwell?
in CZ

I use Mec-Gar mags, 10-rounders which are the same as the regular 17-rounders. For baseplates, I use the Shockbottle aluminum ones.....
Any issues with over-insertion at slide lock?

Anyone running the Henning Pro basepads with the factory CZUB magwell? Any compatibility issues?

Some guy 3D-printed it and sells it on eBay.
