MrT_shootsAcz Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) I just heard back from CZ USA that "the status is pending". your best guess as to what exactly that means. Here's my glass half full and glass half empty assumptions: half full = the form has been sent to the USPSA BOD and status is pending. half empty = CZ USA is still assessing/waiting to verify minimum requirements have been met and status is pending. Personally, I like trying to be a glass half full kind of guy so I'm going with that assumption or until I hear otherwise.

Bucky Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 For anyone who has one, is the safety easier to reach than the Shadow? I heard the trigger reach was better, but was wondering about the safety. I just miss the safety on the Shadow with my short thumbs.TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extended safety is a bit larger than the stock safety on the 1 but is only on the left/one side extended (which left hand shooters are likely not pleased about but I love it just sticking out on one side). I noticed when comparing with the S1 that the "ledge" is a bit larger and really allows even more of your thumb to "ride" the lever... for those who shoot it that way. I think you'll find it better Bucky but I'm not sure how much your missing the S1 by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 And copied and pasted for exactness: Rowdy, We are waiting for more Shadow 2's to arrive from our factory, however there is no estimation we can offer as you've requested.

I prefer a large single sided safety on my 1911s, so it sounds like the optional safety on the Shadow 2 may be just the ticket. I'd have to assume since it comes with the gun, that it would be legal to use once the gun is approved for production, being a factory part.

rowdyb Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Some of that is Amidon vs Troy's way of doing things too. But yeah, still waiting on ya CZ to get 2k of a gun into the USA........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focker Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm hearing rumors of it being production legal very soon, early May actually. Could just be rumors, let's hope it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richc2048 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 That would be awesome! It'd be a kick in the teeth if the P-10 makes it on the list first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 To me, early May is next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richc2048 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 My first major is in June so I already switched to my long slide. I couldn't bank on it being legal by then. I ran the shadow 2 for a month and loved it. It's a safe queen for the time bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 The more I shoot mine the more I'm super anxious for it to be legal. I'm shooting my TS in mississippi for L10 end of May. Then I shoot my PCC in the Arkansas sectional on June June 16th. So next big match in Prod is Double Tap on June 9th. First part of May would be perfect timing!

eerw Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 If someone in Atlanta, check in with Hopkins at NRA this week, he probably knows the numbers as well as anyone. may not be 2000 but guns are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 shot Limited this past weekend in Jamaica, took second to Chris Tilley (78%, but I'm happy with that given I could barely walk). Shot lots of A's with the Shadow 2, that helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
