andyivan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Just inherited a CZ custom shop, shadow Target II and was wanting to know if or what division it would fall into in IDPA? I'm new to the sport and read the rules but wanted some feedback. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkushner1 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 You've inherited thorobred USPSA production gun that is also an awesome choice for IPSC's production division. All of my CZ 75's as well as my SPO1's have been tuned (either prior to delivery or shortly after purchase), either by Angus' crew or by Matt Mink. Both of these 2 groups comprise some of the best CZ gunsmith's out there. Anyway, the most appropriate division for you would be Standard Service Pistol (SSP). Stock Service Pistol (SSP) Division Pistols in the SSP division must be semi-automatic, double-action or Glock Safe Action™, 9mm (9x19mm) or larger caliber, have a maximum unloaded weight of 43 oz. (1.219 kg) including the heaviest empty magazine, and have a minimum annual production of 2000 units (discontinued models must have had a minimum total production of 20,000 units). SSP guns are intended to be "factory-stock" guns: only a few modifications are allowed (See IDPA Rulebook for full details). Maximum barrel length is not directly specified, but will generally be around five inches (12.7 cm); pistols must fit in the IDPA gun test box (see dimensions above) with the largest empty magazine inserted. SSP guns must use ammunition meeting a minimum Power Factor of 125,000. Enhanced Service Pistol (ESP) Division Pistols in the ESP division must be semi-automatic, 9mm (9x19mm) or larger in caliber, have a maximum unloaded weight of 43 oz. (1.219 kg) including the heaviest empty magazine. Maximum barrel length is not directly specified, but will generally be around five inches (12.7 cm); pistols must fit in the IDPA gun test box (see dimensions above) with an empty magazine inserted. Any action type is permissible, but most pistols used in ESP are single-action. More gun customizations and enhancements are allowed in ESP than in SSP (See IDPA Rulebook for full details). ESP guns must use ammunition meeting a minimum Power Factor of 125,000 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSL001 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I was told by the Assistant Match Director of an event I recently attended, If you decide to go SSP you would need to manually decock the CZ Shadow Target 2 otherwise put it in safety for ESP. Congrats on your new inheritance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Does the Target 2 fit in the box? I know the rear sight is very tall. Change to a slimmer basepad to make it fit? Edited June 5, 2019 by WxGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Idpa doesn't consider czc a factory. Or at least didn't, thus the accu shadow debacle of making a gun illegal the week before nats. So, is the slide milled to accept that new sight that makes it a target model? And is that slide milling legal in ssp? If you can't answer that shoot esp.

WxGuy Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The Target 2 rear sight is not milled like the first series and fits in the regular rear sight slot. The USAF base near me has one at the counter and I took my box in to see if it would fit. Yep, no problem with 3 different mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdave24 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 SSP you need to manually decock. ESP you can start single action with safety on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911vm Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Correct. You can bring hammer down and start DA. Same gun two divisions Edited October 25, 2019 by 1911vm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1911vm Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 we are agreeing Not arguing . LOL but it is funny when you have a new SO and you tell him that you are bringing your hammer down and they start yelling to keep your finger of the trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yup. Many moons ago, I campaigned a plain vanilla CZ75 in SSP and manual decocking really "triggered" some SOs. Mine has the old long spur hammer which is easy to lower. I guess the USPSA ROs see so many in Production these days that they are used to it.

Stafford Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) OK, did we agree that the sp-01 Shadow Target II is good for IDPA in both SSP and ESP? If so, can you run them in SSP with the 18 round mags, or are they too long? Edited October 30, 2019 by Stafford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911vm Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 not if the slide was milled for the sight for SSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stafford Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Apparently, the Tartet II slide is not milled. I called CZ Custom and they said "probably" good for IDPA in both SSP and ESP. My response was... depending on whether hammer is down or cocked and locked? And the response was hammer down. OK. Nothing good as far as info there. Called CZ USA and the rep went through a list and couldn't find the Target II, so he said it didn't look like it was legal for IDPA.

1911vm Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 i am 95% sure it is for ESP I shoot standard shadow with regular sights in both SSP and ESP . Hammer down in SSP and safety in ESP. just got a SAO just for ESP , 3 gun and steel matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstar Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) I think the Shadow 2 is too heavy for IDPA... Edited November 9, 2019 by jstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteDingo Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The Shadow 2, yes. The SP01 Shadow Target 2 is IDPA SSP legal, as it uses the factory sight cut and makes weight. CZC does not machine the Target 2, only the original Shadow Target. I believe it will fit with the 18rd magazine, but it's close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
