mbrody Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 You should be! I recently got mine and am a new pistol shooter. Shot it about 3 times and this weekend went to my first USPSA shoot. By the 6 and 7th stage, I really started to just feel comfortable with the gun. At first when I got it, I was like "well, this is pretty ordinary" and now after shooting it a few times and participating in a match, I realize it is simply an awesome tool that really gets the job done. And that is why I love it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleL Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Great choice, the SP-01 is a smooth shooter. I wouldn't trade mine for anything. Shoot the crap out of it, definitely got yourself a gun that loves to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishoot1st Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Congratulations. I got mine from CZ custom last Friday. Mine isn't a custom it's a standard SP-01 Shadow and I couldn't imagine it bring any better than it is now. If it is a Custom it must be unbelievable. I shot it last weekend in Production and could not believe how much better I did. You are going to be really happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brbanks1 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yes its a Custom... I could not be happier!!! I've put 200 rounds through it yesterday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleL Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Right on! I couldn't believe it, but the trigger actually got even better after 600-700 rounds. Smooth as silk on the custom. Mine is capable of shooting much faster then I can pull the trigger. Now you need to hit a match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brbanks1 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Right now the only complaint I have is that the ambi safety has rubbed a blister on to the third joint/knuckle of my index finger. Any body else experiencing this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck1 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Right now the only complaint I have is that the ambi safety has rubbed a blister on to the third joint/knuckle of my index finger. Any body else experiencing this? Thanks Everybody's hands (and thumbs) are different... There are two other types of safeties that can be fitted to Shadows/CZ's: besides the the 75SA-style that come on the 75SA's and Shadows which sit lower and are extended, there's the regular 75/85-style which sit higher and more low-profile to the frame, and also the Shadow "thin-safeties" like are standard on the Adam Tyc models which are Rami-style and even more low-profile to the sides of the frame... For me, in MY hands with MY thumbs, I found that I do not like the 75SA-style safeties at all, and much preferred the feel of the 75/85-style (like how a standard SA/DA non-decock SP-01 comes), changing out the safeties on my Shadows made them much better for me. I'd like to try the thin Rami-style safeties too at some point if they are ever back in-stock to see if I like their feel even more. Seems I'm not the only one either as I've seen a few pics posted of other guy's Shadows with the safeties swapped out... Might be worth a try..?

eerw Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) my hands are small enough that neither style interfere with my grip. the thin safeties are nice and I would like to try a set. For the time being I ended up switching everything out for the tumbler style safety set, as I like the way the safeties sit more solidly in the gun. we have more of the thin Rami style safeties on order, so hopefully should be back in stock soon.

Jonathan Taliani Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I too do not care for the factory Shadow safety. I was fortunate enough to snag a set of the thin safeties last time they were in stock. Huge improvement in my book. I plan to buy another set as soon as they come back in.

brbanks1 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ok... I know this has been very vaguely answered in the past... but I just need to know! Who all is pumping cast lead projectiles through there Custom Shadows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Harrington Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I am! I just picked one up and am shooting nothing but lead through it. It took awhile for me to figure out how to stabilize the 147gr lead bullet in the CZ. Now I'm loading 3.7gr of WST under a J&K 147gr lead 9mm bullet @ 1.14" oal. It is EXTREMELY accurate and has a soft recoil impulse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38SuperDub Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Man you are on a buying frenzy - you just picked one up now you are looking to buy ANOTHER in the classifieds - hoarding the SP-01's from the rest of us eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
