Im not saying its THE ugliest Shadow 2 Ive ever seen, but its up there. The tribal stuff is such a weird late 90s tattoo vibe.

Polycoat is pretty rubbish to start with, but the Urbans seem to cop it way worse.

Ah maybe what I thought was island sight is just a lightening cut on the slide making it look like that.
I said not legal for limited because that racker looks huge, wouldn't fit in the box. There is a box for limited guns, right? Here we have IPSC Standard and the gun has to fit in the box, no way that racker fits in the box.
I’d have to disagree with you there. I have the same racker and it fits the box with minimumal modification.

They can definitely do a "blind" dovetail... maybe he wants to be able to swap sides?
Interesting that they didnt tape the rails when they coated it - the TSO has such tight tolerances I've taped the ones Ive coated.
-
Estimated cost?
-
Whats with all the new TSOs coming with the old TS style trigger guard now?
-
So no news on IPSC Production approval? Was the consensus that until a new model with no magwell was released, it wouldn't make the list?
-
Bah, they had 2018 SKU Urban Greys at my LGS but I couldnt talk myself into it haha.
-
Bah, just picked up a brand new S2 (2017 manufacture though), and its the older frame design. What a shame.
-
Hmm, Im tempted to do it for science.
But also don't want to ruin anything so it probably wont happen.
Thanks for the help guys!
-
Real quick one fellas.
Buddy of mine has a S2 with a cooked barrel. Apart from the length difference, is there any mechanical reason a CZ75 barrel wouldn't work in the interim (I have TS barrels etc here).
I haven't had his barrel here, but from the pics I can see there were some changes to the geometry of the peanut - dealbreaker?
Thanks guys.

They list the Orange and Czechmate. Which one fits a standard TS? Worth the $225 over the Super Ghost for $150?
I have a modified SP-01 insert on mine, buddy as the Czechmate insert on his TS and it's perfect. I think it's a great holster, I started with a Racemaster because I love the versatility of the inserts, and the Alpha-X is a big improvement on the mounting and adjustment system.

Alpha-X!

Lokgrips for sure.

Who would coat the extractor....

I'll get the embedded pics working later; didn't realize img tags weren't a go here.

Alright, some CZ stuff.
Got a CZUB order last week. Got some basepads, a new hammer, shorter front sight, and a pile of spare parts and springs (all for my TS).
Concealed hammer - polished up the sides because.. I thought it looked cool. Will give it a final buff when I pull this thing apart to cerakote it . Dropped trigger pull down to 1.6lb-ish, bit cleaner break - but really, the TS trigger is GTG out of the box.
Then my buddy brought his TS Orange around, and we swapped frames to see what mine would look like with black frame/grips.
Needless to say, that's happening sooner rather than later.
I figured since I was committed to cerakoting this now anyway, I may as well do the triggerguard undercut that Ive been talking about for a while. Playing with the Orange frame may have pushed me over the line.
Just roughing it out for now, but its a WIP. All my sandpaper and drums are packed away for moving house, so Ill have to pick up some odds and ends to work this up to mirror smooth (only to sandblast it for coating anyway).
Very happy with how its coming along so far, just got to decide how much more, if any, I want to take off. I could go deeper into the grip itself like the Czechmate - just not sure if it'd be worth the effort.
Anyway, just thought you guys might find some of this interesting

Do we know the weight of the gun with the frame weight installed? 46 ounce Shadow 2 makes everything else feel light.
-
Damn it's ugly though. Especially with the P09 being pretty damn handsome.
-
Full length ball cuts and one holes on mine:

I run 168s in my .357Sig CZ75 TS and make major. Lot spongier feeling than the 125 loads.

The bumblebee is done!
Even fits in the box (the lid even shuts!)

I'm curious about the slide. If you can't buy a .40 S&W pistol, did you have a 9MM slide opened up to accommodate the back end of the .357 SIG case or is it okay to buy a .40 S&W slide and have it shipped over there as long as you don't have the barrel, too?
And, very pretty pistol, how does it shoot?
My first CZ, a P07, I bought in .40 S&W specifically to then buy a 9MM barrel and have it rechambered to .357 SIG. I took it to the range to shoot and it did so well I wouldn't ever consider messing it up by having it converted to .357 SIG. So I bought a P09 in .40 S&W but so far haven't gotten around to having a 9MM barrel rechambered for it. I still need to do that (got a lot of .357 SIG brass/ammo in the shed since I no longer shoot my M&P .357 SIG.)
Long story short, we can have .40s on a high cal license, but can't use them for ipsc. I have high cal endorsement, so could have bought this as a .40 and got a sig barrel, but was fortunate enough to come across one already done.

Heya fellas,
Just thought Id share the latest project - just got back from the smith a few days ago.
Id been shooting a 9mm TS for a while now, loved it to bits. After competing with it for a while, I decided I wanted to move up to Major PF in STD, so set about acquiring a .357Sig TS (Im in Aus, so no .40 for me).
I eventually tracked one down for a good price. Prior to going to the smith it had:
-CZUB Grips-CZUB Magwell
- CZUB Front Sight
- LPA Adjustable rear
I figured I may as well get it dolled up from the get go, so sent it off to the smith for:
- Drilled and tapped frame, CMORE pattern, for the DAA Adjustable STD Thumbrest
- Docked frame
- Ball cuts the length of the slide.
- Slide lightening cuts.
- Cut dovetail for the Zigracker Standard Racker
- Beadblasted
This is what I got back:
While the fixed TS rear sight is a perfectly serviceable racker, the new gun had a LPA adjustable rear, so I figured this was the perfect excuse to get a dedicated racker installed. Thumbrest is pretty nice, the adjustablity is nice - although for feel Id almost prefer the Advance Ratio Xcel thumbrest I had on the black gun. Because the DAA is designed for 19/2011s, it steps out to allow for the slide, which isnt needed in the CZ. I need to take maybe 3mm off the racker, and it will fit in the standard box. The RHS safety has been ground flat and recoated to allow for the racker and CZCustom Extended safety on the LHS.
In the interim I also acquired a spare 9mm barrel, which has been fitted as well.
I do all my own cerakote work, so I figured Id jump in and go with a custom gold blend (factory gold is a bit too yellow for my taste), and I love how it came out.
This week Ill do the grips in black, and the magwell in gold. One of the boys from TFR did a quick photoshop. Will likely do the thumbrest and racker in black too.
All ready for the match tomorrow - trial by fire!

Gotta say, this site is hard work for dumping photos onto, but Ive coated a pile of Shadow 2s since the IPSC rule change allowing refinishing, so figured you guys might like to see em.
