Gary H. Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) How about some reports on these new guns comparing them to the 75 SA and the Shadow FLDC? Edited February 21, 2011 by Gary H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoyle Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 it handles very nicely. I have been using all the above models, to be honest, I am kinda liking the one I am shhoting at the time. It does run very nicely, and I ran tons of really hot ammo through it this week. It is a great buy. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59Bassman Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I've had my 75 Shadow for about 3 weeks. So far, I like it very much. As stock I had issues with light primer strikes (both factory and reloaded ammo), but a mainspring swap sorted that out. It's very accurate, very comfortable to shoot, and handles great. I am putting together a Production/SSP-worthy rig with a Blade-Tech SRB holster and a couple modified Uncle Mike's double mag pouches. Mine runs well with either the stock 18/19 round CZ mags or the 19 round Mec-Gar AFC mags. I should have the whole thing together for this weekend's Steel Challenge. It will be the first time I've ever shot competition with something other than a .45. Kinda looking forward to it, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary H. Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Are the frames smaller on these than on the TS guns and if so, how much? Glad you guys like them so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walküre Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Are the frames smaller on these than on the TS guns and if so, how much? Glad you guys like them so far! Yes, the Shadow is a normal 75 "small-frame" design, in both short-dustcover ('75') and railed-dustcover ('SP01') variants. It's frame is the same size (and general design) as any other standard 75/85 CZ. The TS is a separate "large-frame" design, using a larger frame with completely different (and larger) magazines.

eerw Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Angus posted on his FB page that IDPA had inspected the pistol and stated it was legal for competition. That IPSC officials had inspected it at SHOT and should be approved and anticipated it would be legal for USPSA soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strick Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Legal for IDPA in what, SSP or still just ESP? When it get Prod approval I may make the switch from back from 1911's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Legal for IDPA in what, SSP or still just ESP? When it get Prod approval I may make the switch from back from 1911's. It's always been legal for ESP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always been legal for ESP. Which is why I said "still just..". I answered my question anyway, I dug it up on the czcustom site..........that news is killin me. I need to fondle one since what I like most about it is the beavertail but I want to see if it is that much of a difference. It kinda looks about halfway between a 75b and a SP01.

98sr20ve Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I thought CZ only had two beavertail designs on the 75/85 frame. Non-beavertail and Shadow style. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walküre Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I thought CZ only had two beavertail designs on the 75/85 frame. Non-beavertail and Shadow style. Am I wrong? The 75B SA has a beavertailed, non-railed, short-dustcover frame. AFAIK, it always has had that frame. The newer stainless 75Bs seem to be using the same frame lines as the SA, but I haven't had a chance to compare them side-by-side to see if they are identical or not. (Not all of the stainless 75Bs use the beavertailed frame... some use a standard-style 75B/85B frame.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 75B SA has a beavertailed, non-railed, short-dustcover frame. AFAIK, it always has had that frame. Isn't that frame the same design as the Shadow from the trigger back?

SDM Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Legal for IDPA in what, SSP or still just ESP? When it get Prod approval I may make the switch from back from 1911's. It's always been legal for ESP. I thought it wasn't for ESP because of the dustcover, BUT if it is legal for SSP (makes weight, no mods exluding it from SSP) then it is legal for ESP.

It's funny, I'm half-joking yet half-serious... the 9mm 1911 is fun, but it's lots more drama than a Shadow, and I'd be happy to never again experience the pain of not quite deactivating the grip-safety or the utter sadness of a stubborn 10rd mag that doesn't want to seat with the slide closed and a round in the chamber... Might have to find the funds to have both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaute Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Cool... I can now shoot my Shadow Target in USPSA and 75 Shadow DuoTone in IDPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary H. Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yep, the new Shadow T according to Angus' facebook page is now SSP legal in IDPA. USPSA said that it should be legal when the new list comes out April !. I'll be ordering my new T duo this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dohboy Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I went to the CZ Custom site and couldn't find any pictures of the new CZ Shadow. Does anyone know where pictures are posted? Just reading the thread makes me want one and I'm sure pictures will seal the deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
