I have over 10,000 rounds through mine with no issues.
I put a new piece of fiber in the front sight every other month or so because I like it to be bright red and just like any other gun it gets fouled up pretty good when you shoot/clean a lot.
I always hear talk online about the shock buffs causing people issues but I have never seen any issue. I am using the same shock buff that I started with in March and it is fine. I keep waiting for it to "tear up" or "cause me problems" but it just hasn't happened yet. It has not happened to anyone I shoot with yet either. Maybe we're all just lucky.
I'm using a BT holster with a BOSS hanger but will probably get a RHT as they are real nice.

Here is a pic of the different base pads. Left is an 18 round CZ mag/springer precision, middle 17 round mec gar/CZC, right 17 round mec gar/shockbottle.

Are the czc basepads much thicker than stock? I'm trying to determine if I should get those or the SP.
Mine should be here tomorrow if I can figure out how I'll post a pic for you to see the difference.

Thanks Stuart! Order placed.

Thanks Rowdy. I'm assuming you're talking about these https://czcustom.com/cz-parts-all/base-pads-extensions/mec-gar-base-pads/cz75-17-rnd-base-pad-black.html and not the flush fit then.
I'll pick some up soon.

I was looking at these https://czcustom.com/cz-parts-all/base-pads-extensions/mec-gar-base-pads/cz75-17-rnd-base-pad-black.html
Hopefully someone actually using them can confirm.

I'm running the 17 round nickel Mec-gar's with shockbottles and have experienced the over insertion lock up with my shadow 2. Looks like the pads from CZC will prevent this so I'm thinking about ordering some. Anyone running this combo and seeing that it prevents over insertion?
-
Looks like your gun is on the wrong side. Other than that looks good though.
Lots of fluids, once you think you feel dehydrated it's too late, snacks to keep you going, gloves, and a hat. I definitely recommend a BOSS hanger too.

Can't help from Florida but I can give you a bump and hope that someone local sees it.

The floating trigger pin makes it a lot easier to change out the trs when it breaks. Or if your smart it makes it easier to change it out before it breaks. I'm not smart.

This thread is like a car wreck. It hurts me a little to look at but I just can't look away.
Either an A+ on the troll job or just another millennial who thinks the entire world should cater to them and what they want.

I heard back from seboweapons and it's bad news and good news. The bad news is the base pads do not fit in the production box. The good news is this saves me some cash!

.... He did approve land mines though. Clay pigeons spread around that get you a procedural if you step on one.
I shot in the Doc Welt match last weekend and we had "mines". Started standing on a platform and swung over the minefield on a rope. If you came up short or dropped off of it you got 1 procedural per pigeon broken. If you didn't want to swing you could run around.

Good question. I'm not at that level yet so really don't know.
I emailed him so if I hear back I'll let you know.

I like those grips as well. I only found them in Canada but the dealer doesn't ship to USA. Have to find a friendly neighbor to place the order and ship to me here in the US.
EDIT: Found them on a euro sight here that includes the bases as a combo. I ordered and waiting for confirmation and shipping charges.
Those look nice. Any idea if the base pads will fit in the production box?

Now we only have another day or so to complain that the list hasn't been updated yet. What will we do with ourselves then?!

I don't usually go through the entire stage at match speed. I do go through the entry and exit from each position at full speed to see what target to come in on etc... I also learned that this helps to see how much of the target you can see etc... During a walkthrough once I saw that I could take a headshot from a position that most people couldn't, due to my height that would save me from having to go to a whole other position. Problem was I was standing straight up and when I ran the stage I came into that position with my knees slightly bent in my normal stance and all I could see was about the top inch and a half of the head. I had to completely stand upright to take the shot and just that slight variation threw me off a bit. Oh well lesson learned and now I do each entry and exit at full speed like I said. Once I do that I do go through it mentally at full speed as many times as necessary to get it burned in.

Well I guess early May isn't happening but I wouldn't say the gun is useless. I mean sure I get slightly nauseous signing up for L-10 but it's still fun as hell to shoot!
-
No if you are shooting production you start with the hammer fully down and you do not have to apply the safety.
If you are shooting Limited or L10 you can start with the hammer back and the safety on.
-
I'm hearing rumors of it being production legal very soon, early May actually. Could just be rumors, let's hope it's true.

Welcome Dave. I grew up in Fenton.

Sounds like stage 10. It was a tuff match but a blast. At least you took it well and sounds like you had as good of a DQ experience as possible. Plus a good story like you said.

17 round Mec-Gar
Shadow 2 basepads - springer or shock bottle?

I've used base pads from Springer, shockbottle, and CZ Custom. The shockbottle pads do allow for over insertion at slide lock which can make an oops moment worse. I never really had any issues with the springer pads but I prefer the ones from CZ and use those.
