The trigger shoe is also aluminum instead of the previous plastic version. On 10/26/2018 at 9:06 AM, Riley said: I also just picked up a new TSO in 40. Same setup as Steve133 as far as checkering, mag release and trigger goes. Can either of you post some pics? I just picked up one about a week ago and it doesn't have this stuff. Wondering where to at least get the mag release. Edited October 29, 2018 by telligentgunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually tried to post some earlier, but I got bitten by the attachment size limit and didn't want to bother trying to host the image somewhere else I could link it from. I can actually try to put forth some modicum of effort once I get home, though. As for the magazine release, as far I can tell, it's just the standard Shadow 2 unit. You can buy them direct from CZ-USA's web store or from CZ Custom off the top of my head - probably few other places as well. Ditto for the aluminum trigger shoe.

I don't own a Shadow 2, so it's not like I can just pop the magazine release out and compare it to a sample of one. I do know that the TS and TSO can interchange more parts with the Shadow 2 than with a lot of the other CZ variants, so I was thinking that the magazine release might have been included in that, but in retrospect it's probably not likely, since I think the main issue with mag releases was the width of the magazine instead of the width of the frame.... Just trying to help. I'll leave you to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I will try and check by the weekend. It seems the mag releases are the same between the Shadow 2 and TSO, they look like it. As far as actual fit, the only thing I could think of is that the TSO version needs to be longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I knew what you were wanting, just funning with you, while at the same time providing a viable alternate (tap your existing MR for the S2 one) to what you're wanting. Now don't go yelling at us about PMs, that was a different (necro BTW) thread on mag releases that you resurrected today. Now in all seriousness, with the TSO shipping with the new mag releases, I suspect it will be some time before the parts department start shipping spares. Perhaps post a WTB thread in the FS forum to see if any new TSO buyer prefers the older mag release. I haven't seen any pics of TSOs shipping with a black mag release paddle. If you want one, they can be ordered from CZ-USA for $30 ($5 cheaper than ordering the entire assembly) . Oh, and welcome to the forum! Lots of great guys and knowledge here, hope you stick around and get to know some of the folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) The Shadow 2 release measures approximately 1.21 and the TSO 1.30 long including the attached button. Otherwise they appear the same to me. Edited October 30, 2018 by Riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they appear the same to me. The Shadow 2 mag release is too narrow for a TS mag to be inserted inside the 'U" of the mag release. I have personally installed the S2 mag release and learned this first hand. The S2 mag release fits inside the larger TS frame, however the TS mag doesn't come close to fully seating. OTOH, standard CZ75 mags insert and lock in place just fine, although the mag well is too large for this to be done in a competition setting.

That settles it then. Anyone know the best way to cut down the thumb rest screws so they can be used with the other less-thick thumb rests from CZ-USA?

I just use my grinder and then chase the threads using my M4 x .7 mm die to clean it up. I have plenty of those M4 screws from my RC trucks spare parts.

muncie21 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Just so there's no misunderstandings, the new TSO has the S2 'style' mag release installed at the factory. However it is not the Shadow 2 mag release. If you aren't comfortable drilling/tapping the mag release to add the S2 pad, wait a bit and these will be available as drop in replacement parts.

OTOH, since I need some parts from CZ-USA, might add a mag catch and drill on that one in case I mess it up. This alone would probably ensure success, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul49 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Simple question. would anyone be able to tell me the center to center distance between the two holes for mounting the THUMBREST TS ORANGE ANGLE 3? I want to see if it can be used in a different application where spacing is critical. thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see if it can be used in a different application where spacing is critical. thanks in advance!It only uses two holes. Based off the diagram I would say .575 in. But that's only if it uses two holes closest to each other. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George16 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Finally got around to doing installing the shadow 2 mag release pad on my TSO and blending the magwell after procrastinating for a long time. I cut off about 3mm from stock TSO mag release, drilled and tapped for an M3 x .5mm screw. I installed a 2mm roll pin so I can change the position of the pad just like the shadow 2. I also crimped the mag release release spring a little bit so the pad is softer to press in ejecting a mag. Works just like my shadow 2 now. my cat checking it out too. Also installed a Trijicon dual illuminated RMR and removed the slide ride to trim some weight. Blended the magwell using a tungsten carbide cutter on my dremel followed by 180, 240, 320 and 600 grit sanding drum. Then polished it with mother’s mag polish.
