    Can I just cut (dremel) or grid down the left side safety on a S2 and S1 to make it look like the picture of the cz75 clone below?  (ignore the slide safety).  I would not modify the right side at all.

     

    Why:  The safety on a S1 is so huge..  I started with a Glock, so I would prefer a safety delete

    I recently purchased 3 x 16-Round MecGar magazines for my Shadow2.  They've been giving me reloading issues where they'll get hung up about 1/3 of the way in as they catch on the back left side of the mag to the left side of the grip screw hole on the left side. 

     

    I can force my 3 original magazines from CZ (came with pistol) to get hung up in the same spot if I forcefully insert them at an angle, but they've never it under a normal course of fire at a match.

     

    Is this a know issue?  Has this happened to anyone before?  How can I resolve?

  3. I'm interested in using the S2 for USPSA (Production) and IDPA (ESP).  So far I have the weight down with an empty mag to 45oz with just part swapping.  (guide rod, grips)  I don't think I can do the slide lightening as described earlier in the chat because I would then be ineligible for USPSA.

     

    My question is specifically around the rear sight.  I was going to try and replace that hunk of metal with a piece of plastic from a 3D printer..  Do you think that would do the trick and give me back 1oz?  Anyone have any CAD files of the rear sight or better dimensions?  reference

    MuayThaiJJ, the SP-01 guiderod I received does not work for me, it's a few mm short and sometimes I'm unable to rack the slide.

     

    I'm going to try and cut the SP-01 rod in 1/2 and try that.  Seems to go in and I'm able to rack the slide.  I'll try it like this for a few days with dry-run practice.

  5. More information:
     

    • CZCustom:  Via email - "..We don't offer a poly rod for the shadow 2.."
    • DoubleTap Sports:  Via email - "..we are currently not shipping small parts to USA from CANADA... we have cancelled your order."
    • CGW:  Via phone - ".. we don't have plastic.. only metal.."
    • Numrich:  I purchased and tried Part Number 625130.  This is just a hair short as someone else mentioned.  I'm unable to rack the slide with this plastic guide rod.

     

    Next Steps:  I'll try to purchase these SKUs from CZCustom and try em blindly:  10079, 10112, 31033

    What plastic guide rods fit into a Shadow 2?  Would a SP01 guide rod work?

     

    I'd like to feel better about using a S2 in IDPA.  My local club is not to strict on the rules, but I'd still like to get close to 43oz as I can.

     

    I see references to CGW, but looks like they stopped making this part?  reference link

  7.  

    Newb here;  Can you help me better understand why a thin slide stop on a Shadow 2 is desirable? 

     

    I would think a bigger control would be easier to hit under pressure, or do you favor racking the slide with your hand?

    Greetings, I think this may be my first post? 

     

    I finished my 1st year with IDPA and USPSA (ie:  still a newb).  I was interested in updating my white 3dot sights to something of the fiber optic flavor.  After lots of using the search button, I see most prefer to use a black rear with a fiber front.  I don't think I'm ready for a black rear yet as I still like to line up the 3 dots, so here is my question:   can I mute or dull fiber rear sights?  maybe with paint or a sharpie?    In other words, I still want 3 dots for now, I just want the rear to not stand out as much as the fiber front.

     

    Or maybe a better option would be to keep the old non-working glock nightsights in the rear and just buy a fiber optic front post?   What make/model fiber front sight would work with a dead Glock Night rear sight?
