This is true as well. I have shot them 2 times now. Once was at a match on a stage and I used my shadow 1 loads and my 11lb recoil spring. The guy had lok palm swell grips on it and when I picked it up I thought it was awesome. Probably one of the best feeling guns I have tried. We also took it apart and the new machinery really shows, it looked great and was very clean on all parts. Then, we shot it and it just was bla!!! Really didn't like it and wasn't easy to track the sights. Could be the sights which suck, could be that it prefers a different recoil spring, could be that I have to get use to it or a combo of them all, idk. However I do know that I picked up another guys stock and with my 135pf loads it was a dream to shoot. I could shoot it much faster and with better hits then either the shadow 1 which I've shot for 3 years or the shadow 2. Everyone in the group felt the same way and I know 3 guys now that are selling there shadow 2's. I might just hold out for CZC to come out with there bull barrel gun sometime in 2092
