  1. I hope you didn’t polish that sear beyond the hardened finish.  It can cause hammer follow.  

     

    Your original post says you polish the trigger bar spring already, but you can also manipulate the tension the spring puts on the bar a little bit. Not too much though, you want to make sure the DA resets reliably.

    Double check trigger bar spring, both sides and mag catch screw . 

     

    Assuming its slipping off before full stroke.

     

    This was my first thought as well. Maybe try bending the spring so it puts more upward tension on the bar. 

  3. They issue of its practicality aside, it definitely seems to be machined well. I really like the lines. I do question the round trigger guard, as well, but that’s just personal preference. There’s no doubt the quality of the steel itself and the machining are too notch.

    My confusion was always that I didn't quite know what part of the RRK actually gives the reduction. I thought that fitting a disco would accomplish the same as the RRK, and RRK was just a convenient kit of different parts.

     

    I'd be all over reducing DA, but I really like the S2 trigger.

     

    I have CGW's RRK for the Shadow 2.  It's a yuuuuuuuuge difference for someone like me.

    I'm just running a new disco and race hammer (to remove take up). I don't know if a RRK is really needed, but I've never used one. I've always been confused over the difference between the RRK and disco though.

     

    The RRK permanently sets the trigger back in DA 4-5mm.  I had to get the RRK for my stubby toe fingers.  But I think it stands to reason that if the starting point is further back, the trigger pull, including the take up, would be less?

  6. So if you want to decrease the long take up and reach of the DA, there are a few solutions.  Both CZC and CGW offer their own variation on each of these...

     

    GOOD = new disco.


    BETTER = new disco and race hammer.

     

    BEST = new disco, race hammer, and reach reduction kit.

     

    Once you have your desired parts, polishing up the action (on your own)  will certainly let you "perceive" a shorter, smoother trigger pull.  I think the money and effort is worth it.

  7. Thanks for all your opinions and feedback.  I've decided to sell the double stack.  Ultimately, I don't think it's worth holding onto it, unless I just wanted to have a really nice pistol for the sake of it.  I decided that shooting a double stack with a 10 round cap is like driving a Lambo at 45 mph.  And I don't want to mess around with non-compliant crap [mags] for out-of-state matches.  I have a young family, and it's not worth it for me.  

     

    It's already SPF, so... I'm going to get a really nice Single Stack pistol instead (?). 

  8. Might have just been an honest mistake by the person who built that gun at CZ Custom.  Use Dawson's sight calculator, buy and install the correct height sight.  Or let CZ Custom know what's going on.  They might go ahead and send you the right front sight.  They're pretty nice guys over there.

    If you need a better gun than one you drop in czc parts or cgw parts I’d be surprised.  The shadow 2 is just flat out a good gun. Once you do those upgrades it’s a great one

     

    I agree.  You can upgrade the Shadow 2 yourself, all with drop in parts, and have a fantastic shooter.  I'm totally for gaining every advantage you can attain.  But honestly, most people who own a car will never reach its top speed....not even a with a mid-sized family sedan.

  10. I don’t think there is any FFL in New Jersey that would be stupid enough to release noncompliant mags with the transfer of a firearm.  And as long as I’ve been in New Jersey (three years), I have not heard of any “pre-ban” exception.  NJ don’t play that.  

     

    The purpose of my OP is to hopefully get a sense of whether or not people are finding enjoyment I’m shooting Limited in the states that have a similar mag cap.  

  11. I don’t really think a CZ worked over by any one of these places, or any others, is going to out shoot the others. They all do amazing work. I would call each place up, have a conversation, and then choose.  The options you presented are a win/win/win.  

  12. The install on both my Shadow 2s was extremely easy.

     

    Whether the upgrade for you is necessary is based on stock bushing in your gun.  If yours shoots accurately with the stock part, there’s no need. On the other hand, if you are confident that you are doing your part, and are still not happy with the results, then maybe think about swapping it out.  The amount of improvement, again, will be variable based on your guns current performance.

     

    For me, whenever CGW comes out with a new component, it’s always a necessity. ?
