CFE pistol and coated bullets like SNS or Gallant. Accurate. Nice recoil pulse. Most accurate load I’ve developed for 9mm minor at appx 135-138 Pf where I like it.
4.0 CFE and 147 SNS FP. 1.135 OAL. 930 fps out of Shadow 2. -
The dark golf is closest and very similar to my PRIZM TR22 for the Oakley Si ballistic shooting glasses and great for normal daylight shooting and my primary lens.
The si ballistic PRIZM TR45 is good for low light or cloudy days or well lit indoors. The trail at 36 would be nice in between my two for less bright days where you want a bit more light transmission -

Best way to dial in “your pistol and ammo” combo is to follow this guide then fine tune for you slide cycle action you like best.

No. Waste of time reloading two different loads and keeping them separated. Plus they perform differently. Buy in bulk to save money and load what you’re going to shoot.

DAA belt, compTac international holster with Boss hanger

Run 147 SNS .356 bullets at 1.135-1.140 no problem in a couple Shadow 2 and SP 01

Best thing i did is the inline fab ergo arm and roller handle. Much better stroke mechanics

Ghost 360/ hybrid work great. XDm 9/40, 45/10mm. Also for Shadow 2c M&Ps.
All my double stacks fit great in those

Just recently acquired a Shadow 2 myself and did the same kit along with polishing of several parts.
Stock trigger 8lb3oz DA. 3lb6oz SA
pull.
CGW RRK full kit-11.5 hammer.
5lb8oz DA. 1lb 6oz SA.
Took a while to fit the disconnector but it’s perfect.
currently a 12 lb recoil and zero issues after 100 rds since trigger. I’ll put a few hundred more on her next few days and then the weekend

XDm 5.25. 9mm. I’ve found .356 Xtreme and SNS 147s at around 920fps to be max accuracy.
4.0 CFE at 1.135-1.140 OAL.
16 Wolff recoil spring. Gun runs perfect.

Sorry but that is a defective jig design and if there is no mention of this being a potential problem to watch for then they need to send you a new 80% lower.

Update with new load.
SNS 147 fp. 4.0 CFE. 1.135-1.140 mixed range brass. Cci small pistol
895fps with 8.8 SD. Most accurate load with the xtreme 147s a close second.

Demp223, thanks for the info!
Going to order some, I only have one to do but still seems like it might be worth it!
Thanks again
You’re welcome.

Demp was correct at the time, since then, the part he references has been declared legal for production and carry optics. There is A big discussion in rules section on BE forum with confirmation from Troy McManus. BTW, I have a Springfield XD Mod2 and was not expecting much but it is a real sweet shooting gun. I was very impressed and it may be the best hand gun Springfield ever put their name. Because it was so good I bought an XD Mod2 Sub Compact, and it is by far the easiest to control small 9mm I ever shot. I had no holster problems at all.
I see things changed in last few
months.

I’ve done over a dozen PRP kits in all my xd/XDm/xds as well as for a few friends.
Polish and deburr all related parts.
The drop in kits are great for carry or field guns and usually right in the low to mid 4 lb range. I compete with XDms, CC XDm,xds or mod2 depending on weather and carry XDm 5.25 10mm while hunting. Having basically same trigger across all guns The extreme and ultimate kits are for the games. When you have to hand fit the striker safety lever reset bar is when you get the shortest reset over a drop in ready lever. My XDms for the games , 5.25 9mm (production), 5.25 40 (limited) , 4.5 9mm OSP (carry optics) are all around 2.5lbs.

Oakley Alpha ballistic. Tr45,tr22, grey work fine so far with vortex viper.
-
Inopted for springer precision with Grams follower and spring. 23 rounds and i can still push it down about 1/3 of a round more for easy slide closed loading.

Blue 147 FP In my XDm 5.25” 9mm 16 lb Wolff spring. 3k elevation. 50*.
Blue 147fp-1.140 OAL. 3.8CFE =921fps. Very accurate excellent recoil followup timing.
3.9CFE.=950. Accurate.
4.0CFE=972 too snappy

I’ve got a couple from GoGun USA
work very well on XDm platform. XDm 5.25” 40 and 5.25” 10mm.
Small modification to Comp-Tac holster allows it to go in and out easy. However only legal in limited and open class for USPSA so may as well run open style holster

I had a 460 Rowland conversion on my XDm 4.5” 45. Running a 22 lb Wolf spring.
Worked up numerous loads for max power while still retaining 45 acp accuracy.
Unfortunately after two barrels from them I abondened project. It kept destroying guide rod lips in a very short time and even after having them make a custom HD rod it’s was still an issue. Specs on barrel lug are considerably different than stock which is impacting guide rod lip at off angle and destroying it.
With that said the best loads were with Starline 460r brass and Longshot.
Tests at 3k elevation, 35* and 70% humidity average. Meant to be a back up gun for grizzly, cats and wolves when hunting in NW Montana. Since acquired a XDm 5.25” 10mm and working on loads for it.
460R loads we settled on while still giving excellent accuracy:
200 Lehigh Penetrators , longshot 13 grn, Fed 150, 1.252oal=1524fps. Primer sign at 1680range
230 Berry’s FMJ, Longshot 11grn,fed 150. 1.265oal=1350fps. Primer fail at 1550 range
