Thank you for doing the leg work on this. Much appreciated.
Glad it helped someone.

Thanks guys, I got this figured out. The new CGW sear changed the geometry and some fitting of the disco was needed. I didn't want to modify the Pre B disconnector, so I ordered the RRK from CGW.
It took me several passes with a Dremel and a diamond wheel point attachment, but it now resets reliably in SA.
I put the stock sear and disco back in to check the differences in pre-travel, reset distance etc. I thought I would be able to get the reset shorter by hand fitting the disco, but they are exactly the same. CZC does a great job with the Shadow Customs on short reset. The only advantage I see with the RRK is the DA take-up can be minimized with the additional set screw in the trigger.Here on the disco is where material needed to be removed:

Check the usual suspects:
-Trigger Overtravel Screw
-Trigger Bar Spring
Then, look at the disconnector.
https://cajungunworks.com/disconnector-timing/A better description of what is happening is the trigger is dead on SA after cycling the slide (testing reset). The trigger has full SA range of motion, but will not drop the hammer. If I then cock the cocked hammer again, I hear a click and the SA works again.
I spoke with David @ CGW, and he thinks it is the trigger bar support spring. I followed the tutorial directions on the website, but the issue did not go away. I took the sear cage back out and the trigger bar seems to have plenty of upward spring pressure.
I just noticed that the SA trigger position is now right at the wall. Before it had a few mm of pre-travel before you hit the wall.
I still think the new sear isn't playing well with the Pre B Short Reset Disconnector. -

I’ve often heard that you should change both the hammer and the sear if you replace one or the other, depending on the round count. Check the hammer and the sear for wear or rounding.
Gun is basically new, with less than 300 rounds through it.

I have a CZC SP01 Shadow Custom 91030, and I just installed a new Flat Safety set. I replaced the sear with the Cajun Adjustable Sear to make fitting the new Safety easier.
I re-assembled everything, and now:- DA functionality test good.
- SA functionality test good.
- New Safety functions correctly.
- If I pin the trigger in DA, hammer will not stay back if I manually cock it again.
- If I pin the trigger in SA, hammer will stay back - but will not fire again, and stays cocked.
Is this a Disconnector issue?
I believe the Shadow Custom has the Drop in Pre B Short Reset Disconnector. Do I need a different one?
What else should I check? -

Don't the CR Speed pouches have a finger cut out? I don't think those are IDPA legal.
They are legal. Only the outer face needs to be covered:
8.6.2 Magazine Carriers
A. Must be suitable for concealed carry and all day continuous wear
B. Must be worn on an IDPA legal belt
C. Must cover 2” of the magazine as measured from the top of the cartridge rim down the back flat of the
magazine tube
D. Must cover the entire outer face of the portion of the magazine inside the carrier. The outer face is the side
away from the shooter’s body
E. Must hold the magazine within 10° of vertical relative to the belt. (80° to 100° relative to the belt).
F. Screws or knobs that extend past the outer face of the carrier are allowed if the adjustment screw(s) require a
tool to change tension, the screws protrude less than 0.125” from the outer face of the magazine carrier, and
they meet all other magazine carrier requirements. Additionally, all tension screws anywhere on a magazine
carrier must require a tool for tension adjustment.
G. “Bullets out” magazine pouches are not allowed.
H. Magazine carriers must be worn in a location on the belt so that the front edge of the carrier or magazine is
behind the shooter’s hipbone.
I. The same exact location for magazines, magazine pouches, and/or ammunition feeding devices in pockets must
be used for every stage in a single match, unless otherwise specified in a stage description.

I recently purchased the Henning +5/6 Basepads and Grams Spring with Followers for my Mec-Gar 17-round mags.
Is there a trick to keeping the mag extension locking pin / retaining pin in place?
The mag extensions kept coming loose and would not stay locked in place, especially when loading with an Uplula. It was happening to all 3 mags (see pic).

Besides a different optic or basepads, what upgrades do you recommend on a P320Max for Carry Optics?
How is the trigger compared to the X5 Legion, Greyguns etc.

Which IDPA legal belts are extra stiff and work with CR Speed mag pouches?
I currently use the CR Speed EDC belt, but looking for something stiffer.
I ordered the Shooters Connection belt, and it is really stiff, but the belt is too thick to fit the CR Speed mag pouches.
-
Question: are you supposed to keep the floor plates installed on the spring? Or just install the basepad on the spring directly?
-
Where can I get replacement springs for the Mec-Gar CZ Shadow 2 / CZ SP-01 , 9mm 10 Round Magazine - MGCZ7510B?
Do they use the same springs as the 17-round? I can find those.

Which magazines, basepads, springs & followers are you guys using for Shadow 1 or 2 in USPSA Carry Optics?
How many rounds are you getting?

Dawson replied to these questions:
1. Clean with 1st choice: acetone or lacquer thinner, 2nd choice alcohol, 3rd brake cleaner.
2. When we include the thread locker in a kit, we include Loctite 242.
3. 25 in/lbs
4. Loctite 242
5. Use the Trijicon recommendation. -

Which threadlocker do you recommend on the optic screws?5. How much torque on the optic screws? (SRO manual says 15 inch-pounds)Thanks!

The Staccato 17 rounder (126 mm) fits in the box.
It has a very thin basepad. Would the regular Atlas & MBX 126mm need the "angled" basepads to fit the box?
-
Anyone know which of these magazines will still fit the IDPA box?
1. Staccato 17 round (comes with gun)2. Staccato 20 round (comes with gun)
3. Atlas 120mm Slide Lock Magazine
4. MBX Defender for 2011
5. MBX 120mm Slide Lock Magazine (basepad angled? not angled?)
-
But does it fit the box?
From Staccato's website:
Quotethey do not “fit in the box” because our ambidextrous safeties are too wide.
-
Until this is in the Rulebook, match directors don't have to allow it.

No issues running these in a CZ SP-01? I know CZs don't like some longer bullet profiles, and you have to get the barrel reamed in you want to run them.

That's nowhere near enough thread engagement with the slide. Good luck.
Good luck? OK Mister condescending...
Please tell us how "that's nowhere near enough thread engagement with the slide" when the SRO thread doesn't screw into the slide, it screws into the plate. The RDS plate has separate screws for the slide. The SRO screws I am using are just touching the slide, having enough thread to go all the way through the plate.

Well my shooting partner just bought Shadow 2 Gen 1 that was originally not an optic ready pistol and was done by CZC. His gun makes CO weight, but our buddy who has the Optic ready Shadow 2 will not.
Besides the CZC RDS cut, what did he do to reduce weight?

So I had a chance to really look at the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Shadow 2 tonight at our match and wow there is way more meat on the Gen2...By the way the gen 2 weighed in at 46.7 with a dot...The 2 Gen 1's both weighed in under 45!....Just depends what shadow 2 you have if you are going to make weight or not in CO.
Do you mean Shadow 1 and Shadow 2? Or are you saying there are Shadow 2 Gen1 and Gen2?
