Out of the box no mods to the gun that was not the conclusion the three of us drew comparing the Extreme Stock III's to a stock Shadow 2. I have no doubt they can be made awesome.

It sounds like most people on the pre-order list just got their shipping notification yesterday, so I'm willing to bet none are in hand yet.

JusticeOfToren Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 For many people with small hands/short fingers, Shadow1/2 have too long a DA trigger reach. Never have problem with Tanfos. It's not even an option when your trigger finger could barely touch the trigger in DA, even after all the trigger reach reduction kit and curvy trigger etc. Not sure how Tanfo did it but their DA reach is so comfortable.

Aw man, I was worried about this. I saw a pic of this, but the guy said he had small hands. So how small of a hand are we talking about? I wear like small/medium gloves usually.

I saw a pic of this, but the guy said he had small hands. So how small of a hand are we talking about? I wear like small/medium gloves usually. I've had 2 shadows and have played with a shadow 2. The trigger reach for someone with shorter fingers on the shadow 1 is pretty hard to reach and I could barely get my outer quarter of my trigger finger on the trigger. On the shadow 2 it was more manageable as I could get the mid part of my trigger finger on the trigger. It still needs to set back a little farther to be 100% awesome, but I could shoot it as is. The best placement of the trigger would be when you just cock the hammer and the trigger gets a little slack, just like the decocker versions of cz's. I wish they would have went with that type of placement instead of the "set forward" type of trigger that's the 85 and 85c. And I've tried every version of the cz trigger, 85/85c/curved etc. Edited March 9, 2017 by Prov1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an 85C, and I have no problem reaching for the DA pull (though my DA pull sucks) but as you said, I would definitely be happier if there was a little less reach.

It's just MSRP. Considering the number of preorders, I don't think the prices will go down until it's stocked at like Hinterland and in good numbers.

Should be enough of them out now so that the general shooting public will get some exposure, and their might be a big demand bump from that. MSRP+ pricing could be a thing, similar to the Stock 2's. Wish I was not such a tightwad, but paying MSRP for any gun might literally kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the black polys may drop in price, but it seems like the nitrides will hold their high price. CZC still hasn't sold out of the black polys online so that's what I think is going on anyways.

Not sure I understand what the issue is with the poly coated ones is? It's nitride under the poly. Is it because folks want the blue grips or just don't want the poly coat?

I don't think there's an issue, but I think it's the combination of the blue grips + external nitride being easier to maintain than poly. I personally don't care since it's going to be holstered repeatedly and that finish isn't going to last either way. It may also be that if you're okay with poly, you would prefer to get the Urban Grey (like me, but I can't wait). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quack Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm in the blue grips category. Might just go ahead and get the poly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
