Vanniek71 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Call Angus at CZC to confirm # of units produced and if he's applied, or plan to apply, for USPSA Production. I emailed Stuart and he is going to find out for me. Angus is currently traveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 FWIW, I reached CZ custom yesterday to inquire about buying one if these. Stuart said that it was not currently legal for production, only the accu shadow is approved. YMMV, but based in that, I had him put me on the waiting list for an accu shadow. Too bad really, as I like the look of the short dust cover better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Well hopefully it comes along soon, I don't see why the SP01 would be legal and this version not, other than the units produced. Everything else is pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Yeah, it's silly. We had another thread on the SP01 ACCUs where we concluded that a SP01 ACCU Shadow is perfectly legal but if you took a preexisting SP01 Shadow and sent it in to have the ACCU work you would have a gun that was exactly identical in all ways to the SP01 ACCU Shadow but would not technically be Production legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 75 shadow custom that I want to have the accu bushing installed on, but it won't be production legal even after the accu light gets approval (assuming it will which is almost a certainty). I'd have to sell the 75 shadow and buy an accu light even though they are the same damn gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanniek71 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Yeah at that point my gun would turn in to an ACCU shadow and id leave it at that. Edited May 24, 2014 by Vanniek71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexKramer Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Yeah at that point my gun would turn in to an ACCU shadow and id leave it at that.What does the slide on the accu shadow (or accu light) say?Mine says cz75 shadow Do they say accu anywhere? Can we get CZC to stop marking them as such? Edited May 24, 2014 by RexKramer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 They aren't designated ACCU. As far as mines concerned it's a Shadow until CZC submits it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexKramer Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Here is a pic of my slide ImageUploadedByTapatalk1400899994.520969.jpg So that's an accu light? That's what I wondering. If I send my 75 shadow in to have a bushing put in, can someone tell the difference between that and the accu light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 The only difference is the ACCU will have the bushing in it, and a stainless guide rod cup. Other than that it looks identical to a 75 Shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Got my 75 ACCU Shadow Lite today, as soon as I can compose myself I'll take her out for a spin but for now I'm just sitting here staring! Lol Gun feels great, DA feels good, single even better. Can't wait to check out the accuracy.

RexKramer Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The only difference is the ACCU will have the bushing in it, and a stainless guide rod cup. Other than that it looks identical to a 75 Shadow. And since the those parts (bushing) are available as an oem part from CZCustoms, they would be legit as add ons for a cz75 shadow in production. Sorry for being repetitive, just want to make sure before dropping three fitty on an accu mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanniek71 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yeah I asked the same thing. I'm just going to use it since I bought it for production anyways. I am sure if it came down to it I could point to the SP01 and be like thats the same gun as this only heavier! And then i'd get bumped to open...meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanniek71 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yeah they are a lot better. Where the ones that came with the gun are flat, these have grooves milled in to them to offer more grip. And they look sweet too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1valdez Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks for the info. I'm definitely getting one in that same color that's my favorite color combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 I found a really awesome pewter color too, but I couldn't find any other accessories that matched it. with red at least I can get basepads and a magwell to match! I wish there was a nice green too, but gun parts always seem to follow the same pattern....red, blue, black, silver and sometimes on rare occasions yellow and pink!
