muncie21 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) If you are on the fence about getting a wider 'left side' safety for your Tactical Sport, I'd recommend trying the one from the Shadow 2. It's not as wide as the CZC one, however it's about half the price and for me provides a marked improvement in grip Edited July 7, 2017 by muncie21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mveto Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Very nice, how much fitting was required to get it to function properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHicks8h Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I 2nd this. I did this on mine. It is the same safety system and no fitting required. It makes actuating the safety a more natural feel to me than the improved CZ Custom model or the one that comes standard on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamge Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Two differences: - The extra wide is wider than the S2 safety - The extra wide can be moved into safe position by pressing down on the rearward portion of it (like a heel-toe action). The S2 has to be lifted from underneath to move into safe position. Edited July 9, 2017 by adamge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it. You may want to call and confirm it is the wider of the 2 safeties that ship with the Shadow 2.

Unless I am missing something here: that is NOT a Shadow 2 left hand safety like pictured in first post above. The one you linked is the regular old style shadow safety lever, and the lever that comes stock on the tactical sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncie21 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Here's the measurements of each, maybe this will help. Wide safety provided with Shadow 2: 7.2mm Standard safety on TSO: 5.5mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert.a.brewer. Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Does anyone know the part number for that 7.2mm safety? I really want a wider safety for my TS to use mostly as a thumb rest. The CZC one seemed a little too wide; one guy even said he cut it down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can trim as you like. Easy stuff. Better leverage to use, as pivot point is in wrong location on CZs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoKimberDave Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Almost every one I know with the CZC thumbrest has trimmed theirs. I just rounded some corners and nipped in some edges. Much better to have too much than too little! I love the CZC safety lever. I wish they would offer one that was higher though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CZC one is starting to sound good.How much fitting did you have to do? Did it fit into the right side OK? Meet up with sear OK? Or lots of in and out?Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much fitting did you have to do? Did it fit into the right side OK? Meet up with sear OK? Or lots of in and out? Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk I have "fitted" a couple of them now. Never takes more than a couple light swipes with a clean, quality, fine cut file. Right on the flat of the shaft end (the flat of the "D") where it is received by the right side safety. Hit it once and test, hit it again and test, etc. Can be easily don't with the safeties out of the gun. So easy even a moron with two left hands like me can do it! Edit: It might be interesting to note that I have helped two buddies change out their Shadow 2 safeties to the big lever. Both needed minor fitting at the sear area. Another friends dropped right in. But I have been lucky as I have put the CZC and also the shadow safety into my CZ's and they dropped in after fitting just at the D. Admittedly, one has a CGW adjustable sear with eliminates the need for possible fitting there. Edited July 12, 2017 by NoKimberDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadpilot Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Good call on the safety swap. The best part is having the thin safety on the right side and not having the stock safety slamming into my knuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncie21 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Next adjustment for me is fitting the Shadow 2 mag release on my TSO. For me, the release on the tactical sport is a hair too long. Edited July 25, 2017 by muncie21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert.a.brewer. Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 So, no one knows the correct part number to order to get the S2 safety? The one that the OP started this thread with? The one that's 7.2mm wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to find one:/ $35 + shipping from CZ USA I'd get the devil screw, also referred to as the magazine catch screw, while you're at it. Mine has defied the attempts of 3 different screw drivers to loosen it. 1 hour ago, robert.a.brewer. said: So, no one knows the correct part number to order to get the S2 safety? The one that the OP started this thread with? The one that's 7.2mm wide? Both Cajun and CZ USA carry what they refer to as Shadow 2 safeties. I'd call both and ask if they could provide the estimated width. Or, take one for the team and order both, then report back. BTW, since I picked up my TS Orange used, I'm not sure if the width I measure (5.5mm) is factory if it the safety was trimmed by the PO Cajun 01606LH Left Safety for Shadow 2 and Tac Sport ($35) CZ USA EXTENDED SAFETY SET SHADOW 2 Product Number: 465423250012 Availability: In Stock Your Price US$50.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamge Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I transferred the safety from my Shadow 2 to my TS Orange a few days ago. It seemed to function properly on the bench, and I shot about 75 rounds through it yesterday and again it functioned properly. I really like the feel of it vs the regular TS safety, which I find to have its ledge too low and interfere with my weak hand's grip. (right handed shooter).

muncie21 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Just noticed that the shadow 2 safety listed on CGW may fit a Shadow 2, however the shape/design pictured is from the Tactical Sport. Not sure if Cajun is using a generic picture or what... The Shadow 2 safety is more 'rounded', like the set pictured on CZ's web site.

Hoosiershooter Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Being a lefty, I assume this is all applicable just in reverse? I looked at CZC's site and they are out of the rhs safety and if I understand the 75 won't fit a tso?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
