Joshg Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Does anyone know if this is a discontinued item? I haven't seen them on czcustom or anywhere else other than CZ-USAs website. I may be picking up a new shadow soon and figured I'd go for the original look since I already have a black one. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind bat Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The silver polycote is not very durable. It's beautiful when new but doesn't hold up to holster wear. I'm about to have my Duo frame refinished in hard chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffshoreMan72 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 the two of mine have held up well as far as coating.....not a scratch on them and they have had quite a bit of range time..... the CZ Champion is coated same way and it shows 0 wear....

JorDanO Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I believe they were discontinued last year. Mine has held up as fine as the polycoat, but looks pretty bad because the kydex rubs off on it. A little cleaner gets it off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 A Champion...very cool sorry for the drift. Jim any chance you can shoot a photo of the recoil spring. Someone was telling it is different than the standard CZ recoil springs and was needing a replacement. I did not know and I couldn't help him. THANKS!

OffshoreMan72 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I am out of the country right now....be back Tuesday....It is a flat spring and I have not been able to get mine out as of yet...I have had to clean around it.... To me it is one of the best guns I have ever shot....I am going to get a dot on it and put in open,,.....It is 40 and I loose a few rounds but it would be worth it...

MickB Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Discontinued due to durability issues per talking with Angus.... Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffshoreMan72 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hum....i talked to Rob earlier this year and he said it was because it just didn't fit into any class good. It is 40 so you don't have the mag capacity and it can't shoot limited since it has the comp on it. I have had nothing but good to say about it. I want a dot on it. It is fast and flat. I am looking for someone to put mount on it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enutees Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Discontinued due to durability issues per talking with Angus.... Mick I'm sure this is the reason. Mine has a lot of wear on it after a year of use. The dust cover and trigger guard have bare shiny metal showing. I don't really mind as it shows I practice.
