Top of front sight level with top of rear sight, sight picture, covering target. 2 1/4" low at 8 yards.
Most sights are zeroed at either 15 or 25 yards. 8yards is pretty close and I’m not surprised that it’s shooting low that close based on typical bullet trajectories

I own both a Shadow 2 Bull and a standard Bull Shadow. I think the short dust cover pulls the weight balances back to your hand so it is a bit easier to control. Muzzle flip is essentially the same in my experience but the sights seem to return more consistently with the SA frame. Granted, some of this might be due to backstrap profile differences also

I’ve had multiple S2s (with and without optics cuts), CZ75 variants and now 2 Bull Shadow variants.
personally, the standard Bull shadow is a perfect blend of S2 and SP01. I like the short dust cover and rounded trigger guard. It’s more balanced toward the rear (and adding heavier grips and extra cap Mag further pulls the balance into the palm).
but in reality, only you can decide which suits your hand and shooting style best.

What type of feed failure?
-
When I did mine, using a gauge pin, I zeroed off of the top tangent point of the firing pin channel and milled to leave 1mm of material there.
Picture attached for reference. Optic is a DPP with the shroud removed.

Just a word of warning, I'm looking at the shape of them at the bottom and I think you could get in trouble for having grips that form a makeshift magwell, which would be illegal in production and CO.
They don’t extend below the butt of the grip so they’re good to go.

Except for Max. On the SIG P320s the 6MOA Romeo1 that's compatible out of the box is pretty hard to beat, but Max never liked the shape of the lens and wanted something taller. He pretty much used the R3 for the past few years while working with SIG on the back end to tailor a sight to be exactly what he wanted. I was surprised that he wouldn't have built it off of an R1 but the result looks great, albeit awkwardly not directly compatible with the Legion.
It will be interesting to see whether it ends up being widely used given that it was specifically made for USPSA type shooting. I know a couple of guys who had already moved to using the original R3s on their Open guns already (they were sick of RTS2s breaking), but there's so much more to like now with the huge, bright dot on the R3Max.
Understood, which is what makes it even more surprising to me that people never spoke much about it before.
i personally wouldn’t care for a 6MOA dot. I’ll run the 3moa R3 until I find a good reason to change and I can’t really think of one.

My goodness has this helped my natural automatic grip be stronger! I’ve been doing a couple sets every other night before bed and when I’m at the range my grip feels so much more firm and balanced. I can feel my pinky and ring finger pulling the frame back in keeping muzzle rise lower

I guess that is too close to tell the difference
I agree with that. I’m still so perplexed how so many people are looking at the Romeo3MAX but I’ve very very rarely seen anyone talk about the original Romeo3 on a pistol.

I see you went with the romeo max on your shadow build. Do you like it better than the sro?
No, it’s a normal Romeo3, not the max. No way would I pay an additional ~$400 for 5mm of window width and a black color.

Does one sit higher than the other? Base thicker
I don’t have a good picture of the DPP from the front but the R3 sits pretty damn low all things considered. And the window height dimension is noticeably bigger.
if I had actually considered it, I probably would have milled the Shadow2 for the R3 instead of the DPP because in reality, I can still put a DPP on the R3 mounting location but not the other way around

The romeo 3 max widow is bigger than the sro so it would be easier and faster than the sro. We will see about the durability.
It’s wider, not taller. Both are 25mm tall for all intents and purposes. From my experience, the width is far less important that the height. With a proper grip and decently consistent mechanics, the dot will rarely be at the outer edges of the window. I’m far more likely to present with up and down variability than left and right.

Red_Dot....is that top picture a Romeo 3 on a Shadow 2 and the bottom pic a Romeo3 MAX ?....thanks
Top is a DPP on a Shadow2
Bottom is a Romeo3 on a Bull Shadow
Both overhang the slide a fair bit when directly mounted.

Romeo 3 would look pretty ridiculous on an S2, it's pretty wide.
Are you sure about that? The DPP is almost identical in footprint width as the Romeo3. Within 1/16” from my measurements and specs that I’ve gotten from the manufacturers.
If you’re talking about max width period, the window on the SRO is exactly the same width as the original Romeo3 (25mm) and 5mm narrower than the R3Max (30mm)

Hows this gun shoot compared to say am SP01 shadow? Im looking to set up a CO gun and wondering if its worth the extra 500
I don’t see a $500 price difference between the Bull shadow and an SP01 Shadow Target.
im still thrilled with this pistol regardless. CZC has done an incredible job with this pistol.

I recently switched to these grips as well and really like them. I had been using Lok Palm Swells before, but SSI Scales are flatter and less egg-shaped which helps me feel where the gun is pointing. It has made my reloads a little more clunky though as well. They'll get back on track with practice.I agree that the parallel sides help with side-to-side index but I personally think the grip texture is pretty bad compared to the rest.
id be really interested in trying the GCI Frags soon
-
SSI Scales 2.0 measure ~1.330 across the width of the grips and this is the widest I’ve seen to date.

What rule says you cant have internal weight reduction? Appendix D 21.3 allows aftermarket slides as long as they conform to the same profile as OEM. I have no externally visible cuts so the slide is standard profile if including the filler plate.
21.2b
Milling of Slide
A slide may be modified specifically for installing sights, and for no other purpose. Slide racking devices are prohibited.For this gun to make weight taking a little bit out of the guide rod channel is required.
Looks pretty crystal clear to me. You could run it and they won’t proactively check for milling of the Guide rod area but if you get found out it’d be a bad day IMO.

I'm 10000% sure Im production legal if I put the iron sight plate on.
I read that as ONLY the optic cut can be done. If you had material removed from the recoil spring
channel wouldn’t that be considered not necessary for the optic?

The iron sight plate would get me prod legal too
For USPSA production? I don’t think so unless they amended the rules.

Is it possible that 9x21 Shadow2's have longer chambers? They work well with 1.15" / RN and 1.125" / TC
By simple definition of the cartridge yes, the 9x21 will have a longer chamber. Not sure how 9x19 will work in it.

So which do you prefer comparing the two and not worrying about the list right now?
I'm coming from the S2 world so I lean towards that style but always willing to try something new like the CZ75 Bull (new for me). Also the CZ75 Bull is less expensive, I notice.
Thanks.
I prefer the Bull Shadow over the Shadow 2 Bull mostly because I feel the Shadow 2 is optimal for Large+ size hands and the standard CZ75 frame is for Medium and smaller

I’m gonna be that guy and ask how do you expect to get a SAO trigger into the Carry Optics division?
additionally, are you able to get that sight combo to cowitness properly? Front sight seems low compared to the rear sight notch.
