twister Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I want to start shooting production in the spring,and would like to know which CZ would be best? I'm not that knowledgeable on the dbl. action pistols,and don't know the differences between them. I would like to buy the gun already done,so I need to know which model is best. Thanks for any help you can give me,Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The CZ Shadow is probably the best value no firing pin block, upswept beavertail, 3 mags, FO front sight. trigger is pretty good out of the box. DA stroke is smooth, SA is crisp; if you order from Matt Mink or Angus, they can do a trigger job before you get it. or just ship it or do it yourself. great gun: accurate, easy to shoot.

470nitro Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Agree with eerw on all points. Switched last year from an M&P and never looked back. Trigger job is a must but I am comparing to a stock 75, not an out-of-box Shadow. Mine tuned by Angus and about perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59Bassman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 It's not legal yet, but I just bought the CZ 75 Shadow, aka the short dustcover Shadow. I don't care for railed handguns, and I really like the lines of the CZ. Looking forward to being able to shoot it in Production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59Bassman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not to derail the thread, but any thoughts on holsters for the 75 Shadows? I didn't realize that without the front slide cuts, it may not fit in most of the 75B holsters. Without a rail it won't fit quite right in an SP-01. It was suggested to look at the .40 CZ holsters, but those don't seem to be listed many places. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should fit either a 75B .40 holster or a 75B SA holster - the SAs and the .40 have straight-profile slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCC-1 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I made it to Master class with an M&P.... but.... i picked up a Shadow Target last year and its been my primary Production gun ever since! The first 3 classifiers i shot with it were in the high 90's.... I may never make it to GM but i think i stand a better chance with the Shadow Target. It is the most accurate handgun i have ever owned!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G34 CORDY Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 If you have the money buy a Shadow Custom for CZ Custom. Mine has about a 2 to 2 /12 pound trigger pull and alot more accurate than iam. Recoil feels like a 22 mag and smooth as silk. Extremely happy with mine.

ck1 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Shadow is it, maybe go a bit further and spoil yourself by dropping in a competition hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddrod Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Lets not forget about the CZ 85B Combat. That is what I have and it is just as accurate and realible as the Shadow. It also does not have a FP block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I have and it is just as accurate and realible as the Shadow. It also does not have a FP block. I shoot a 75 from the pre-firing block era, which is the equivalent of an 85 Combat. It didn't quite fit the regular 75B holsters because of an idiosyncratic slide stop, so I ended up using a Bladetech for the SP-01. I have it adjusted to hold the gun fairly loosely, but it doesn't wobble in any direction and I've never come close to dropping it. If you're going to shoot IDPA too, it will be easier to make weight with an 85 Combat or short dust cover Shadow. Not that its impossible with the SP-O1 Shadow.

Sean Gaines Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 spo1 is my choice, that gun fits my hand like a glove. I wish my 1911 felt that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Warrior Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I used an SP-01 when I shot Production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeZer Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Shadow with full dust cover for USPSA Prod. - it's def easier and faster to get back on target as opposed to short dust cover (e.g. 75SA, Combat). I have Shadow and 75SA and I see considerable difference in recoil control. For a single gun good for USPSA Prod and IDPA (weight restr) - Shadow with short dust cover would be a great compromise, but it's not approved yet.

heckofagator Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I had planned on buying either the shadow custom or target later this spring. Do you think it'd be worthwhile to wait around to see what happens with the short dust over models? I think I'll primarily shoot USPSA, but getting the weight down for IDPA seems to be a PITA.
