JNW Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I see on CZ Custom’s website that they do not put their rds plate on a Shadow 2. Any way to get a red dot on one? Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f2benny Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 There was a picture posted on Facebook of a shadow 2 milled for an insert to swap rear sights or rds like an x5. Supposedly coming out from czc.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNW Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 XD, Did CZ Custom do the work? Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdnok Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 No, I did the work, nothing like the feeling of taking an almost new gun and letting the mill have it's way with it. Funny how I never worried about how much gun parts weighed before, now i'm looking at tenths of an ounce.... Using a lighter optic crossed my mind as the DPP is heavy compared to others but it also seems to be the most recommended optic to use in this application.

wtturn Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Milling a shadow 2 is a travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abb1 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) I would wait, as CZ has released an Optic Ready Shadow 2 which has the back of the slide wider to better accommodate the optic. It comes with mounting plates to accommodate all optics. It is supposed to be released in Canada within 4-6 months and pre orders are being taken. It is probably the same in the USA. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/03/20/iwa-2018-cz-shadow-2-optics-ready-22lr-kadet-conversion/ Edited April 19, 2018 by abb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 It was announced 2019 for the USA for the optics models I thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Here are a couple we have done. 44 ounces with Bushnell Advance Just under 45 ounces with DPP. can save more weight with grip change. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbrconst Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 XDNOK milled and lightened my Shadow 2 for CO. Really nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNW Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 Thanks for all the information. I think I'll wait and see what the factory milled gun looks like. As for doing it yourself I saw someone on 1911forum who milled his Wilson Combat EDC X9 for an optic and it came out great. He owns a high end machine shop, so for him this was a minor job.

New rules allow you to lighten the slide for CO now. I can't decide between buying the CO version of the S2 or just getting a second slide.

George16 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Just get a second slide dedicated for CO and use the other slide for Production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S2 slides seem to be going for $600 then when you factor in milling costs (and possibly more because of slide lightening needs), you're basically paying $3-400 for a back up gun which is worth it IMO.

The other reason why I'm leaning towards the second S2 is that I can change the frame of the second S2 to get set up for 3 gun with a magwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no I am contemplating either getting it killed or just getting the dovetail mount. If you're going to do it what optic would you run I'm getting a mix review on alot of them as I want to change from the cmore slide ride to a smaller optic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to do it what optic would you run I'm getting a mix review on alot of them as I want to change from the cmore slide ride to a smaller optic If it's getting milled directly to the slide then I would go DPP. The C-More is likely too big I'm guessing which is why you'd have to use an adapter plate like the CZC. If you get the optic ready version, it looks like the Trijicon RMR mates with the S2 pretty perfectly. I have a DPP on my P07, and it's really quite easy to find the dot. I wouldn't get the RMR because of the smaller window size (also costs a lot more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
