Art Yeo Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I searched web-wide and found a 2008 thread in this website that discussed this and the thread faded away. The gun, straight from the factory, weighs 41 oz so that rules out the 39 oz SSP division weight requirement. Are there easy ways to put it on diet that is popularly done? Also, does the production numbers qualify this model for IDPA for SSP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 If you can get it under 39oz, its legal. Im not sure if you meant the SP-01 Shadow or not, but below is the list of things that will get the shadow legal, or close to legal. Light weight Marschal grips Non Shadow safeties 10rd mags Some guys do something with the mag break. And you should be close. I bought a 75 Shadow to shoot idpa with, and ended up shooting it more than my SP-01 Shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Yeo Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) I am referring to the regular 75 sp01, not the shadow, Thanks for the info Does anyone know if the Coco Bolo grip is lighter than the oem rubber grip? http://shop.cz-usa.com/P-19120/Coco-Bolo-Grips-Full-Checkered-7585.aspx Edited September 13, 2012 by Art Yeo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen non-shadow SP-01's legal and still using the CZ 19rd mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 If your main game is IDPA and you don't need the rail I would get a 75 instead of the SP01. It will make weight easily and works just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkguy Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 you could leave the gun as is and shoot it in ESP as the weight ceiling is 43 oz with an empty mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 you could leave the gun as is and shoot it in ESP as the weight ceiling is 43 oz with an empty mag. Unless I'm mistaken because it has a full length DC, according to some, it has to meet SSP requirements. After that you can shoot it in ESP.

austex Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I have a regular SP-01 and was able to get it to SSP weight just by using the Marschal grips. Can still use the standard SP-01 mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryYu Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 If you're in the market for a gun and havn't already bought the SP01, the current ideal CZ for IDPA SSP would be the CZ 75 Shadow from the Custom Shop. It makes weight right out of the box and has a competition hammer, CZ 85 trigger, as well as firing block delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Yeo Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 [...] Yes Cocobolo is much lighter than the OEM rubber grip Well, the Cocobolo grip took out 1 full oz and so, the pistol + OEM mag is now 40oz. I need to shave off another oz. Do you think the 10rd mag is, at least, 1 oz lighter than the oem 18rd mag? For those who have the 10 rd mag, could you let me know what the weight is?

Steve J Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) I bought a 75 Shadow to shoot idpa with, and ended up shooting it more than my SP-01 Shadow. Do you have to manually lower the hammer on both of these after LAMR? Edited September 19, 2012 by Steve J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I bought a 75 Shadow to shoot idpa with, and ended up shooting it more than my SP-01 Shadow. Do you have to manually lower the hammer on both of these after LAMR? only if you want to shoot ssp. In esp you can start cocked and locked. I manually lower the hammer on my cz75. I got so used to it that I do it on my other guns too now, even the ones with decockers. Of course I don't point them at the TV or my wife or the dog or anything when I do it.

TerryYu Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I bought a 75 Shadow so I could play in IDPA. The DA start really doesn't add much time to your score if you start prepping the trigger as you come out. I pause slightly before the first shot to verify proper grip anyways so the first shot delay is the same for me either double or single action start.
