SCTaylor Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Stock 2/3's are outselling Lim Pro's from what I can tell. Keeping them for the smallest segment of competition shooting, IDPA, aint worth the production costs. Nearly everyone in USPSA has gone for Stock 2/3 guns and the Extreme versions overseas.

v1911 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Sounds like I got in just under the wire. And if I wanted to, sell at a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Do you think they will listen? I would be shocked if more than 50 Lim Pro's really would have gotten built for IDPA domination in the next few years. Need to import what sells.

Multiple internal differences and the big one externally is grip size. Is it worth the extra? I think that is all up to the individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all internet accounts, an out of the box comparison is apples to oranges. The Shadow 2 is built race ready at a primo price. The Stock 3 basically needs a complete overhaul, which ends up costing the same as the Shadow 2 out of the box. To be fair, an out of the box Shadow 2 might need a bit more work to perform as good as an optimized Stock 3, but probably not that much. And as mentioned, there are internal changes that could be seen as improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is if you're already set up with mags for the CZ. It takes the same mags as the shadow 1. Not mention the cost will be close to the same once you replace all the Stock 3 factory parts.

Appreciate all the comments, now I'd like to give it a try if I can find one, with that being said, I just made the switch from Glock to CZs (had S2 before, grip just too large for my small hand), I need to shoot a lot more to fully appreciate the awesomeness of CZs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeOfToren Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Not sure how Limited Pro thread got hijacked into Shadow 2... but I am also looking for a Limited Pro, since it's IDPA SSP legal with the Titan hammer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V2plus25 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Yeah thinking about picking up another one myself before they get too stupid expensive or simply unavailable. I'm thinking a Lim Pro in .40 will still be easier to find these days than one in 9mm. Plus with all the duplicates and different parts I've bought with my first one, I think there will be enough to completely redo the internals on the second Lim Pro.

JusticeOfToren Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 How you figure the Titan is SSP legal?Stock 3 extreme is now SSP legal (used to be illegal for its full dust cover but new rules removed that ), provided you use plastic grips and lightened guide rod, single sided safety etc.) to make weight.Stock 3 extreme comes with Titan hammer and extreme DA trigger in 2017.So both Titan hammer and extreme DA trigger are now SSP legal.Did I miss anything?
