Strick Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 How much different is the frame (other than the rail) of the 75 Shadow compared to the SP01 Shadow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck1 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) How much different is the frame (other than the rail) of the 75 Shadow compared to the SP01 Shadow? From what I gather it's a 75B SA frame which is pretty much exactly the same as an SP-01 Standard/Tactical variant feel-wise, the "original" SP-01 Shadow's have a slightly more undercut-trigger-guard and a slightly deeper beavertail cut-out, really so close that they look almost identical even side-by-side. IMHO the honest-to-goodness-Shadow frame is the smallest bit better and it's a shame the new one doesn't have those added subtle enhancements at the price-point of almost double that of a 75B SA, even still it's way awesome and better than just about everything else out there. I want one bad... I had a souped-up SP-01 and if it weren't for the rules about removing the firing-pin-block I wouldn't have had any reason to look at making the move to a Shadow variant as they're close enough where it's really almost unnoticeable.

Philo_Beddoe Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 How much different is the frame (other than the rail) of the 75 Shadow compared to the SP01 Shadow? I have a 75b SA, which the exact same frame as the 75 shadow and I have a SP-01 shadow. The only difference between the frames that matter to me are the rail and the weight, there are a few other very minor differences, but none that I would be concerned about.

Warning, my amateur gun pr0n isn't very good. My wife can back me up on this. I claim it's due to the poor lighting in my house. She claims it's just another one of my short comings. My shadow has been converted to SAO with a custom shop black AL trigger. I'll post pictures sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neomet Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 No rounds down the pipe yet. Just picked it up today but just the difference in weight makes it worth it. I was not a fan of how nose heavy the Shadow felt. The balance point of the gun feels almost like it is in my hand. Great SA trigger. DA is good, but I will wait till I break it in to see how much it lightens up. My main problem with it is that it does not come with a Cape magwell. This is my first production gun and I am just used to throwing a mag in the general direction the gun and having my magwell suck it up into position. This will be..... different.

ck1 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Here's mine, added VZ grips and a Dawson .170" x .090" black serrated front blade. Thanks to the wonders of the iPhone I documented the first 100rd value pack of WWB 115gr from Wallymart through the gun (only zee best)... First target, 10 yards: all the center bull and head stuff is shot from the draw on the timer from under the ol' tactical fishing vest, the groups are 3-shot groups shot semi-slow-fire (1 or maybe 2 seconds then bang), all the fast stuff was DA first shot, this included a mix of successive draws-to-2-shots-to-slide-lock-reloads, Mozambique's, a couple bill drills, and surprisingly the first ever 18rds through the gun were 3 10yrd F.A.S.T drills shot cold (a F.A.S.T. drill = draw from concealment 2 to the head, slide-lock reload 4 to COM, in under 5secs if the force is with you at 7yrds), 4.92, 4.68, 4.69, all clean. I drifted my rear sight a hair too far over to the right as my shots stringing to the right as well as the groups showed me, but it's not far off at all and I'm pretty pleased. 10 yard semi-slow-fire 3-shot group: Slow-fire (some slower than others) target to kill off the box at 15 yards, think the head was 3 and the center got a 5 or 6 shot group, the others are 3-shot groups: Prettiest of the day, 3-shot group off-hand at 15 yards, no BS: I'm super psyched, this gun is awesome! Boringly reliable too, just like I like it, fed and ejected everything perfectly with no drama, slide locked back on every empty mag every single time, and through some cosmic powers beyond my comprehension I actually picked a front sight height that hits POI right at the top of the blade on the first try. Nice. Edited April 2, 2011 by ck1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ck1 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) CK1 Awesome you shooting it tomorrow? I'm up in KY for the Battle in the Bluegrass so I'm going to miss the chance to fondle it. Yeah man. Good luck up there. Think I'm done platform hopping for a while, I never shot anything as well as the SP-01 I souped up to where it was IDPA illegal, had I just stuck with my original plan and not tried my 9mm 1911 experiment I could have bought 2 of these... Oh well, at the time these hadn't been approved for anything other than ESP yet and I did wonder what all the fuss was about with the 1911's if I was going to go to ESP anyway.. I ended up building a sick gun, that now belongs to someone else, and throwing more money away than I'd like to admit. The CZ's are it for me, IMO they're like Glocks with good triggers shaped to fit human hands instead of alien hands. In case anyone is wondering how different they are from the SP-01 guns with the rail, I'd say they are real close. They don't quite drop back on target quite the same way as the SP's with their extra weight up front, but they are a lot easier to "throw around", feels smaller and quicker. Makes sense as getting my SP-01 down to 39ozs was a PITA, the new one with a 19rd mag came in at just under 36, a guy could actually make it heavier if he wanted to and still make weight for IDPA no problem.

(glad that's what you meant, not real familiar with USPSA rules yet, was wondering if my grip-tape "power steering" might get me in trouble) Edited April 2, 2011 by ck1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
