Sounds like a plan—I've done a little tap and die work over the years.
-
I think a lot of people have. Mine all shoot great.
Also, pretty sure I only paid about $40 for my reamer from Manson.
Hadn't come across Manson yet, but I see they make a wide selection of tools.
I'm assuming it's a straightforward thing to do with hand tools: Carefully remove a bit of material and see if a round will drop in and spin without catching the rifling. If it catches, then remove a tad more. If it doesn't catch, then you're done.

Problem is that I scored 4k rounds loaded to 1.125"
Has any used a throat reamer or sent their barrel to a gunsmith to open up the throat for shooting JHPs? Is there a downside to doing this if you don't screw it up?
-
Good question. I've been wondering this myself.
-
Shadow means that the pistol doesn't have a firing-pin block. This removes stacking in the trigger pull and shortens the reset.
The SP-01 Shadow has fixed sights, the Shadow Target a Bo-Mar style rear, and the Accu-Shadow indicates a bushing system for the barrel.

I got in some ammo loaded with MG 124 JHPs. OAL is 1.125", which seems to be fairly standard. But they seem a touch long for my CZs. The SP01 runs them just fine, but the 75B Stainless will occasionally fail to go into battery. The ammo is accurate as hell.
Is the throat on CZ 75s somewhat short? Is it common practice to ream it longer? I'm sure this has its pros and cons.

I'd blow out the internals with brake cleaner, apply some oil, and try again.

I partially separated my left shoulder in a mountain biking accident when I was in my mid 30s, about five years ago. It took a couple of weeks until I was able to load it with any kind of weight, but it still clicks & pops and does weird stuff to this day.
My therapy consisted of ice and laying off any chest exercises for a few weeks. It took a couple months before I was able to load up serious weight on bench press.
I suspect that recovery potential depends on age. I had far worse accidents earlier in life and they don't trouble me nearly as much.

Prior responses cover the essentials. Something else to consider is you mention is just started shooting 3-gun and shotgun matches this year. Having to consciously think about anything related to marksmanship or gunhandling will bump your stage plan out of mind. As you get more familiar with your tools and handle them subconsciously, you'll find executing your stage plan much easier and smoother.

Putting it on the calendar. AM & PM start times or one start in the morning?

This conversion would involve disabling the firing-pin block. Appendix D4, #22 in the USPSA rulebook states:
Removing or disabling firing-pin blocks or any other factory safety mechanism in Production division is specifically prohibited.
IDPA has a similar rule.
But as was already mentioned, the P01 is a very different animal than the SP01.

Class is full—running a wait list.

I have not gone through all the rule changes. What did they change that would allow the CZ Shadow.
Thanks,

New SSP weight limit is 43 oz.

It's a fine choice for all that, but the safety isn't as well positioned as a 1911's for cocked-and-locked carry. It sits lower in the frame, and your thumb doesn't have as much leverage in pushing down on it. I have small hands and can't reliably deactivate the safety on my draw and certainly can't do so once I've reached a full firing grip.
YMMV, and I'm interested in what other folks have to say, but I'd suggest thinking of it as a traditional DA/SA pistol.
-
The grips on the left look like the VZs. The would appear to make the CZC grips a step up from the already aggressive DiamondBacks.
-
SAO (single-action only) is not Production legal.
Learning the DA/SA trigger is no big deal. Dry fire the snot out of it for a week and you'll be most of the way there. I was able to match my M&P Steel Challenge times with my CZ two weeks after getting in the latter.
-
Had a spot open up for a total of two free. The student is going to catch Ben at a class closer home.
-
I like your style motosapiens. No doubt my initial classification posted ahead of my match performance, but I'm seeing that as encouragement to catch up quickly—winning Low A isn't a distinction to repeat
I'm overhauling my dry-fire practice to focus on position entry/exit and shooting/reloading on the move and need to make some changes to live-fire as well. I understand what you're saying about shooting during the actual entry/exit and need to drill that into my subconscious so it just happens on match day.

We'll try to arrange some better weather for you this time.

Down to one unclaimed spot.

Including an FNS-9 Competition would have made this a full-on USPSA Cryptid division smackdown!

I started shooting USPSA this spring (shot IDPA years ago) and credit much of my paper A status to shooting with a crush grip on the pistol. At least as of today, I don't think it's possible to grip the pistol too hard, particularly with the weak hand. Bearing down on my grip has improved split times and long-range accuracy when shooting at speed. A crush grip appears to smooth over a multitude of trigger control sins–a misbehaving trigger finger is not as detrimental if the other nine are locked down tight.
The big a-ha moment came while shooting El Presidentes one afternoon and seeing the front sight sliding backward and forward instead of up and down. Much quicker to fire the follow-up shot that way!
-
A couple times it looked like you were looking at you targets to see if you had you hits. If that's whats happening you need to learn to call you shots and get moving.
I fortunately wasn't looking for my hits, but visually processing the tight, vertically stacked targets did slow me down. Paul's advice on shooting the lower target first so that my slide doesn't block the next target should help with that.

Purple seems popular among the folks that I shoot with. Some folks swear by Rudy Racing Red.
I'm currently using a cheap pair of purple glasses, and they certainly make the white steel and buff cardboard jump off the berm more than the grey lenses that I was using earlier.
There are no Shadow thumb safeties that...

Nice find on CZC! Here's the direct link.
