470nitro Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Don't yet own an SP01 Shadow but really interested in one. What you Shadow owners get for accuracy at 20 - 25 yards? If you don't mind, it would be great to know your load also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind, it would be great to know your load also. I haven't measured my groups yet but I can say that this is an insanely accurate gun for a Production gun. The 2 loads I have used are 124grn MG JHP bullet 4.3 grns Vhit N320 WSP Primers and 147 grn MG bullet or 147 grn Precision Delta bullet 3.6 grns Vhit N320 WSP Primers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you recall what OAL you are currently running on these three? I ask as I'm now shooting an M&P Pro that is pretty OAL fussy.

Nicolas. Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Here is my group (at 25 yards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W_Buck Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) My Shadow came with a test target from the factory in the box. The grouping was about 1.25" at 25 yards with WWB ammo. Now if I could shoot that well... Edited August 7, 2010 by W_Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky #7 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) I have owned 2 CZ's. My first was a 75 B SA, and I currently have CZ Custom Shop SP01 that i bought in 2006. Both of them held ~1 inch groups at 25 yards. CZ's have a good reputation for being very accurate pistols, and both of mine lived up to that reputation. My SP01's test target had a 1.09" inch group.

470nitro Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Forgive the ignorance but how many shots on your test targets by the factory? 3? 5? 10?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W_Buck Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Mine was a 5 shot goup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latech15 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 These accuracy tests are completely useless unless they ate shot from a ransom rest or something similar. From what I have seen, if you can hit an 8" plate at 25 yards freehanded, it is plenty accurate for what we do. If you are shooting bullseye then it is a different story.

If you are shooting bullseye then it is a different story. In my first match with my Shadow, there was a stage that had an 8" plate at 30 yards. (Sadists!) I am notorious for my difficulty hitting plates in a match - I can do it all day at practice with my Para .45 - but not at speed in a match. So when I got to the plate, first shot missed. I'm thinking, "Oh crap - here we go". 2nd shot - PING! Plate falls. Big smile. Edited August 20, 2010 by Jeff Matzka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walküre Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 These accuracy tests are completely useless unless they ate shot from a ransom rest or something similar. CZUB factory "test targets" are really testing for function, not for accuracy. CZ Custom targets, on the other hand, do gauge accuracy. I can post a photo of the two test targets for my Shadow if anybody really cares about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a Shadow Custom (used but done by Angus) and want to know what to expect. I'm overly picky on tweaking my loads to get as accurate as I can so I can feel confident in doubtlessly blaming myself for misses (many on 8" plates at 30 yards). If nothing else, it tells me what I should be able to do off of a bench with my own loads when I find the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walküre Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 CZ Custom test target placed over the top of the CZUB test target. That is, nothing was scaled, it's literally one over the other (so the image is typical-paper-sized). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D__ Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The accuracy will not be great out of the box in my experience. They do get good after around 5k. Less than an inch at 25 yards good. The older ones were better. My first pistol about 5 or 6 years old now is the most accurate pistol I have ever owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
