magpulled Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If you were gonna buy one or if you have one what are the best mods that you would have done. Another question I have is who makes the best parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinka Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I think CZ Custom, and Cajun Gun Works are both top notch!! I use CZ Custom but that is where I bought my gun. Customer service at both is very good from what I've heard. Not a lot of upgrades needed is you are getting the shadow. Others will have better ideas but 13lb main spring, comp hammer, pre b disco, and ext firing pin/spring are what I did to mine. Easy guns to work on, enjoy!!

dsa Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Matt Mink at Automatic Accuracy: http://automaticaccuracy.net/ Send your gun to him. I have been able to feel a difference in guns that he has worked on compared to others and the double action is noticeably smoother in a Mink tuned gun.

I have been able to feel a difference in guns that he has worked on compared to others and the double action is noticeably smoother in a Mink tuned gun. This is what I would do. I would buy the gun from him, have a full trigger job and short reset trigger put in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magsz Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hammer spring. Extended firing pin and spring. The rest is just icing on the proverbial cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emjei Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If you get a Shadow from CZC , Mink or CGW they pretty much have everything there is to make them good..... maybe lower Hammer Springs depending the primer you use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmt Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If I were going too buy another one I would do the same thing as I did for the first one. Call Stuart at CZC and put my name on the list for the SP01 Shadow Custom. No additional mods are necessary. I picked CZC over the others because they are local to me.

bockerSV Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 ^ This is what I'm thinking of doing. It's going to be my first full dust cover CZ and I'm thinking its kind of a buy once, cry once deal just getting the custom from CZC. I have a little bit of time to save up and throw around some other ideas to make sure this is the right way to go, but it seems to make the most sense to me.

brisix Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) You can't go wrong with any of the gunsmiths above. I would recommend reaching out to David at Cajun Gunworks he has great customer service, will answer any questions you have and does top notch work. Below is my recommended list of parts and labor if you go through David at GGW. Notable item on the list is the type 3 dis-connector which needs to be hand fit. The labor to hand fit the dis-connector plus modify the sear for shorter rest was $50 of the $150. I also went with the 8.5lbs hammer spring which with polishing and tuning from David resulted in a 4lbs DA and 1lbs 12oz SA but limits you to Federal primers. Totally worth it Labor $150.00 UL-DA/NFPB $39.00 11-RS $6.00 RP-TRS $7.00 TR-PIN $13.00 H-PINx2 $5.00 Hammer Kit PN: 10040 $115.00 S-Spacer $1.50 1486/T3 $38.00 PERFECT SS guide rod $22.00 Front Site 050-390 $39.00 CZC Comp Rear site Item# 10099 $45.00 Grips 10151 $85.00 Grip Screws 70001x2 $16.00 Total: $581.50 Edited September 20, 2014 by brisix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
