I have a CZ-USA 75 SP-01 SHADOW TARGET II 9mm. I have big hands and find my left palm is pushing the safety up while shooting. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it by changing to thicker grips?

It weighs 5 oz less, but the feel is much better. It should be pretty similar to a PC 627, if you know anybody with one of those.

Mine is cut down to a 5". It feels much better now. Haven't shot it a whole lot since the work was done, but the little I did it just felt right!

Well I have around 10k 9mm brass and would just like the ease of only having to reload 9mm. I do currently have a 929 all raced up. I just thought about trying something different with a TRR8.

I'm thinking of getting a TRR8 for steel challenge, but I would like to stick with 9mm since that's what I mostly reload. Has anyone converted theirs to 9mm?

I've had this same problem with my 929 and magnetic insert. I had to disassemble the insert, and start trimming it with the Dremel. It was binding on a couple areas, but now is smooth as can be. Not something I thought I would have to do with a $200 holster, but it works in the long run.

It looks like I will just have to order one and wait. Thanks guys

I'm getting ready to attempt a trigger job on my new S&W 929. Has anyone found an India stone at a B&M store, or should I do the inevitable and order one online? I'd like to do it this weekend, and that's the last thing I need.

I think I will upgrade my tarp to the big mesh tarp from harbor freight and go from there. Thanks

I was thinking of doing something similar, but somehow put something in the middle of the tarp that I can open up and dump into a bucket. I use a pretty big tarp since my .22 likes to throw them pretty far.

Unfortunately, GrumpOne, none of those seem very practical for steel plate practice. Thanks though.

I have a shooting range on my land, and usually just throw a tarp on the ground to catch the brass. Does anyone have a better way of doing it?

Hey Lazer, I shoot in the PA Steel Legue and have a Steelmaster. Shooting in the PM tomorrow, if you're gonna be there, you're more than welcome to try it out. If not, I have a pistol range at my land about 2 hours west of you. You can come out and blast some Steel there.

It might be worth my time to go visit Oak Hill Guns. They are only a couple hour drive from me. That way I could at least handle each and see which feels better to me.

Ok, here's another one for you guys. What's the difference between the Custom and Custom Target?

My thinking is like Brooke's. I value my very little free time, and would like to spend it doing something other than working on my guns.

HAHA, Brooke hit my situation right on the damn head. Confusing is right! Just glad there's a place like this filled with knowledgeable people to help newbies.

Thanks for all the info Brooke. I don't mind doing my own work, but I would much rather buy a new gun that already has the work done! Less down time, more shooting/reloading time.

What's the difference between the one on Gunbroker (SP-01 Shadow) and the one on shooters connection (SP-01 Shadow Custom)? It's quite the price difference. http://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/CZ-75-SP01-Shadow-Custom-2014-BLACK-9mm-P3809.aspx

Thanks for the link! That's cheaper than the new one in the classifieds.

Missed out on the Shadow in the classifieds. Seems none of the local shops have them either ;-(

None of the shops around here have anything more than a standard 75, so it's hard to tell which one would feel better. I've seen a few shadows pop up in the classifieds, maybe I'll jump on one of them.

Im looking at buying an SP01 or 75 Shadow, but not sure which model I should get. Will be used mainly for target/ Steel matches. Is it better to get a higher end model and leave it at that, or buy a regular one and modify it?. What's everyone's experience and suggestions? What's the difference between the CZ 75 Shadow and the SP-01 Shadow?

That's what I'm thinking, RDA. Just want something cheaper to see if it actually does a decent job. It's gotta be better than not cleaning them at all!

Guess I'll just have to take a chance on one
