You just reminded me I haven't cleaned mine since last range trip. I clean after every trip but I wad under the impression it was too prevent rust etc. That's not the case? When I first started shooting I didnt clean anything and after a few months my shotgun, mags, even various ar15 parts had surface rust. And that is in a safe with the necessary accessories.

I had a shadow 1 that I put thousand through it and didnt even know the reduced power firing pin spring was broken and missing coils. Good thing it still worked fine lol Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Yeah California off roster bump Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Gun cost me way over 2k so 40 bucks saved makes a difference lol. After all this Corona stuff and ffls being slammed though now it's just a matter of not wanting to wait 6 weeks to get it back.l and wait in line for two hours to drop off and pick up. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Not yet, I bought the vice and have all tools necessary. I was hoping to do a pre and post comparison first. OEM, vs 10x vs czc bushing modification. I have a extra shadow 2 slide getting milled and fitted for the 1911 style bushing. I guess the real comparison will be 10x vs 1911 so maybe I will just attempt the install sooner.

It's not the dimensions that dont fit the dawson is the same dimensions. The factory is on top on the picture. The mag release notch for the retaining screw is too far inward so it wont catch the factory slot to stay seated. I ended up using a para mag release and it worked great, and fixed my mag seating problems. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Yes that's the one I bought because of the reviews. It does not fit. Take a picture of your mag release and compare it to mine. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I dont live in a free state but I always wanted a shadow 2 orange. I ended up buying an extra shadow 2 slide and having it milled for czc plates and bushing modification. Should be done in a few weeks. So I have my factory slide and this optic slide. I really wanted a direct milling but optics keep changing and I would rather change a plate then get another slide. I will have an official opinion once I get my slide back. Oh yeah most important part. I had a fully cajunized sp01 shadow with 10x barrel bushing. Factory shadow 2 made me look like a pro shooter when I picked it up so I went shadow 2 all the way. So of your two options I would say bull shadow maybe. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

At least it didnt jam! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I'm thinking I might try this. Just use my file and blueing pen. Hopefully it doesnt look horrible. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Wasnt took hard to take apart and get back together but do you cut off that extensions on the second picture so it will fit the RIA? Or is there a vendor who makes an ambi safety that does not include that section. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I was thinking about filing the Sharp edges of my safety and just using a blueing pen to cover it up. I removed the safety and noticed it doesnt have the piece that sticks out on the right side to go under the grip. When you guys replace the factory ambi with another one are you filing that piece off? Or is there a version that drops in? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Watched some videos and it seems. I need to watch for nose dive and also trim my recoil springs so the slide doesnt short stroke. Looks like another trip to the range Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Unfortunately 1911 style weapons are new to me. Let me look that up. The 9lb spring did work pretty well just a few failures to fully chamber Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Just got back from the range. Tried 9lb recoil spring and thought every thing was fixed but had a few failures to feed after a few rounds with both round nose and flat nose rounds. Then I tried the 12lb spring which is supposedly factory weight but was ALOT harder to install in and compress then the factory one i had. Did rapid fire with round nose for two box of 50 and no issues. Flat nose had one jam. So I think the problem is fixed! Was not the magazines or the release it seems. Maybe my recoil spring was worn out. I did dig into my hands with the sharp safety doing rapid fire. That's my next mod for sure. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I just recently bought a chamber checker for 9mm and 5.56 because I had some bad 5 56 rounds cause completely stuck rounds. I chamber checked all my existing 9mm and there definitely is a difference in tolerance. Out of 5 boxes of pmc bronze, only one box fully passed the chamber check gauge. The rest were acceptable and could be used but to fully seat some assistance from the slide is needed. It was interesting seeing the differences, I may actually change my budget brands even though they still function fine. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Mine has shot everything I have tried in bulk. I had one issue with factory reloads with not enough powder and the bullet was stuck in the chamber and very dangerous. But everything chambered fine. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Just watched the videos. My calipers only read to the second decimal so not sure how I'm going to get the front .005 wider then the rear hahha. I ended up measuring all my new mags and all of them are .32 inch front and back. Tried cycling again with dummy rounds and they all functioned fine. Video states it should be .35 inch rear and .355 front so I am off according to that. I'm starting to think it's the flat nose rounds I was using. They are 124 grain flat nosed vs standard 115 grain round nose. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Hahha yeah I was debating the plate system from cz customs which is closest to the OR or the specific mill from CGW. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Thank you! Unfortunately I do not live in a free state so I cannot just purchase a shadow 2 or shadow 2 OR. So I have to get it milled for plates or get lucky on purchasing a OR slide somewhere. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I did not know this. One of the reasons I was hesitating on a shadow 2 OR slide is plate availability but many manufacturers make plates for the p10f now. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I'm just going to grab as many things to check and head to the range for this. Too bad I just cant make a change and go shoot in my backyard lol. I probably wont get results for a awhile. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I will try that, I had having the half seated problem before this release though. Bought some different recoil springs to try then out and see if the helps as well. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Just got back from the range only ran 50 rounds through the 2011. Since I was competing with my friends I was using my shadow 2. Good news is no issues at all with the extended mag release. Out of 50 rounds I had two jams with 5 round mag changes. One looked like this, and the other was a half seated round. This is a dummy round I tried to replicate. Before i go sending it off to hayes customs or a smith. Any ideas what would cause this? I was using flat nosed 124 grain 9mm. I would assume the flat nose made it harder to load since the ramp is so vertical? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I could be wrong I just read in the beginning of this thread there lots of non ramped 2011s and I bought mine used so not sure what has been done to it. Mine is a 9mm 22tcm combo model. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
