pc13 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Can anyone show pics of how to adjust the Disconnector and what is the difference between the T1 or T3 ? I'm having a problem with my hammer not releasing with the Cajun Gun Works kit installed with competition hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcp Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I just ordered CGW package 75810 and some extra springs. The discos were out of stock but just came available if anyone was waiting on that. https://cajungunworks.com/product/75810-shadow-s-2-kit-bushing/ Hopefully, the fitting is minor.

pc13 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 thanks for the pic above. I filed and filed the disconnector exactly where u show and still could not get the trigger to release after the slide was put back on. Yes the safety was in the off position. I reinstalled the factory hammer and disconnector with the hammer spring, trigger spring and sear spring from Cajun Gun Works and everything seems to work great. Still waiting on the extended firing pin as they sent me the SP01 firing pin. I have not shot it yet, but the feel and function of the DA and SA is great. The only difference I can tell with only changing the springs and using the stock hammer and disconnector is that the safety will not go ON if there is a live round in the chamber and the hammer is all the way down. So for us Production shooters the gun will operate just like Factory. The safety works with the hammer all the way back or in SA mode like a 1911. I think this is a good feature for Production as the gun is exactly the same at the CZ Factory intended except for lighter springs that I have installed. The Cajun Gun Works Competition kit allows for the safety to be ON with the hammer all the way down on a live chamber for use in DA. SA of course you can put the safety on as well. It's different and might be safer for home defense. I think I prefer my set up with the safety off in DA mode for competition just like a Beretta.

SlvrDragon50 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 How much material did you take off? It will quickly go from not fitting to fitting. It took me at least 10 fittings to get mine to fit, and I went too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
factorof2 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 How much trouble did you have moving the magazine release paddle to the 2PM position? I tried just backing the screw out of the catch the other day and the torque required to do it simply sheared the teeth of the screw head so that now it's permanently loose until I actually get it out and replace the screw or replace the catch?

rowdyb Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Use an easy-out to pull it and get a new torx head bolt. Mine took firm pressure but that is all to initially loosen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I striped mine also. I know I can get it out with an east out but I called cz and they said that they don't have extras yet. For now ill just leave it unless someone else here knows a screw that's an exact fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimaryBruce Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I wish they would have made a way to adjust it to the 4:00 position. Or is that already doable and I'm just retarded? I could only get mine to lock into position at the OEM position and 2:00 position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 I had to totally remove the paddle. The interior face of my paddle has three sections on the arc/slot for you to position the paddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glockslinger Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'm planning to change the hammer and disconnector on my S2 with a competition hammer and pre-b disconnector myself. But I don't have any experience "gunsmithing". I've heard that it is really difficult to remove and insert the pin between the hammer and the disconnector in the shadow 1. Is it the same with the S2? Anyone have any good advice on how to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any good advice on how to do this? Since I'm just a half-azzd shade tree tinkerer who lacks a workbench, vise, etc., I order the hammer, disco, pins, AND a spare hammer strut and type in the notes section for CGW to assemble this sub-assembly. I just pull the old assy out and drop in the new. If I ever want to sell, I just switch them back. Easy peasy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess45 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Any tutorial on how to change the thin manual safety to the wide manual safety that is included. Thanks. Shadow 2 is my first and only CZ. Also a question on terminology. Is hammer spring the same as main spring? Edited July 22, 2017 by ess45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly easy with a punch and thin needle like pick. The trickiest part is a spring (can't remember the name of that spring) that is resting on the safety. You need to make sure to raise that back to where it will be resting on your new/extended safety when installing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
