    Has anyone tried these out?  I had never heard of the company before, but  they’re claiming 25 rounds.

    Just recently released, I picked one up. Check instagram for BF code this week. 
     

    140mm. Fit 24 right out the gate. After a few days full I jammed 25 in. Few more days and it would seat in the gun. Would not reload 25 from the belt, but Barney up 26 has worked for me a few times. 
     

    Think ill order 2 more this week. 

     

    Had the same experience as Seoderus. 24 out of the package. I loaded it with one brand of 115 gr factory ammo and got 24. I then tried another brand of 124 factory ammo and was able to get 25, but it was a solid 25. This weekend I did 25 plus 1 with no issues. Would not recommend reloading off the belt with 25 at this time from my limited experience with it. They are very well made and will probably order some more. 

  2. I have an HK branded Benelli M1S90 with an 18" barrel. I recently obtained a 26" M1S90 vented barrel and forend to use for 3GN. The forend from my 18" is different than the 26" forend. The opening at the rear of the 18" forend is larger and allows it to fit over the mag tube where the opening on the 26" forend is smaller and will not fit over the tube. I am able to install the 26" barrel on my HK M1S90 as long as I use my 18" forend. If I use this combo (18" forend with 26" vent barrel), am I good to go?

    I am by no means a Benelli expert or historian, so can someone explain the differences with the forends?

    The picture with the receiver and forend are from my 18" HK M1S90. The other pictures show the differences between the forends (18" on the left in both pics). Apologies for the poor pic quality. Thanks in advance.

  3. Thanks for the replies and great info. The "CZ 75 Shadow", #91700, is a long dust cover with rails. The absence of the "SP 01" designation on the slide threw me off. CZC provided a brief explanation on these guns:

    CZ 75 SHADOW RAIL 9mm FACTORY GUN

    This is a factory shadow with no firing pin blocks.

    We have a very few on hand, same specifications as a CZ 75 SP01 Shadow but with a slide marked CZ 75 Shadow.

    Frame only is marked with serial number.

    (This is a very similar situation the CZ P01's that arrived in the USA marked as CZ 75 Compact D, Same pistol just different nomenclature on slide)

    With that info, seems like the only difference between the CZ 75 Shadow and the CZ 75 SP 01 Shadow is the slide markings and the rubber grips. Otherwise it appears to me to be the same gun. Would that be correct?

  4. The model you are referring to is not "normal". That is a sp-01 shadow marked as a cz 75 shadow. It's explained in the description on the website.

    Being a relative newbie to the whole CZ SP01 Shadow line and after reading Gussers great post, the "CZ 75 Shadow" was definitely "not normal". Would I be correct in assuming there would be nothing wrong taking this gun and building it up to the specs of a CZC SP01 Shadow to shoot in Production?

  5. My understanding is the Shadow designation is no firing pin block, shadow style hammer, and a different roll stamp on the slide. The 75 and SP-01 can both be had in Shadow configuration. Mainly, the attraction is this denotes no FPB, which is one less spring to overcome if you are trying to lighten the trigger as much as possible. While ommission of the FPB from a 75B would put it out of production division, these come this way from the factory - much like the pre-B 75s.

    The differences between the SP-01 and 75 are: the SP-01 has the 1913 style accessory rail under the full length front dust cover, while the 75 does not. There are a few other cosmetic differences on the SP-01: back strap checkering, front strap checkering, additional front slide serrations, no tapering of the slide towards the muzzle, full length guide rod, larger diameter barrel, longer beaver tail, and longer slide stop lever,

    Most who like a heavier gun go for the SP-01 design for the added weight farther forward to mitigate muzzle flip.

    So you can have a 75B (with firing pin block and ring style hammer, but no rail)

    The SP-01 (with firing pin block and ring style hammer with rail)

    The 75 Shadow (no FPB, shadow hammer, no rail)

    The SP-01 Shadow (no FPB, shadow hammer, with rail)

    This is why the most typical/sought after combo seems to be the SP-01 Shadow. The lack of FPB makes the trigger as light as possible while the SP-01 design has the added weight over the 75B design.

    There may be other subtle differences that someone like kneelingatlas will, without a doubt, know of (*bows in respect*). At least that's how I've always understood the difference.

    that is a very good explanation.

    it's on the models like 'shadow custom, shadow target, etc' that are modified by CZC (or another customer shop). The CZ SP01 Shadow is a standard production gun from CZ UB. they are just harder to find in the states since there is demand for the customised models. So when CZC gets a shadow in stock they have a choice. They can sell it as is and make a few bucks, or they can customise it and make a few more bucks and fill the orders they have for custom stuff.

    and yes, of the factory models the SP01 Shadow is generally the most sought after. to confuse things further CZ UB do produce tuned/upgraded models of the SP01 shadow in other markets like the SP01 Shadow 2012, the SP01 Shadow Mate (Canada and Australia versions). They have all the factory tuned parts (comp hammer, stainless guiderod, cerakote frame and slide instead of polycoat, tighter hand fitted slide and barrel, different sights etc) and come in a fancy case with some accessories.

    Great explanations gentlemen, but I'm still a little confused regarding a particular model of Shadow. The CZC site offers a "CZ 75 Shadow", #91700. This does not have SP01 marked on the slide and the description indicates the serial number is on the frame only and not the slide. How is the CZ 75 Shadow, different from an SP01 Shadow?

  6. To clarify, the match has been moved from April 10-12 and is now scheduled for April 24-26? There was nothing on the web site or the early bird self squadding regarding the date change. I just want to be sure because a group of us signed up when we thought the match was going to be April 10-12 and hopefully the date change won't effect our plans to go. We are really looking forward to it!

  7. I contacted Rose Action Sports today.

    Steve was very helpful.

    He suggested I contact Remington before sending it to him.

    I did and the lady I spoke to told me the Versa Max I bought new this past Feb was made in 2011.

    She said that's odd because most VMs don't stay on the shelf for more than a year.

    So they sent me a shipping ticket and I'm sending it out tomorrow.

    (He also told me the jig doesn't really work for the VM just the Benelli. )

    My VM tactical also shoots high and to the right with slugs. I'm curious as to what Remington is going to do to correct the POI and are they going to charge you?
