Which DIY upgrades would you do to a Shadow 2?

Variety being the spice of life, there are many ways of doing minor mods on the Shadow 2 (and what a lovely gun it is).

 

In my case, I'm a tall guy, so I removed the factory grips and immediately installed fatter ones (first Lok palm bogies, then M-Arms Presidential grips).

 

For springs, I shoot only factory niner ammo, so I installed an 11 lb mainspring, a soft firing pin spring and a 10 lb recoil spring with buffer. I don't want to go lower on the recoil spring because it would trash my red dots. With iron sights you can get away with it.

 

No other mods, and I'm content and doing well in my division. YMMV.

Just pure curiosity why did you opt out for the 10x bushing and ext firing pin

Thanks for asking Sir. I felt no need for either, and neither are available in my country. For IPSC shooting my accuracy is limited by me, not the gun, and I have no problems with light strikes involving factory ammunition (we can't reload), so the extended firing pin offers no benefit. I have no complaints about the gun's reliability either, and it feeds all the factory ammo types available domestically without a glitch.

Is this an upgrade that can be done by the manufacturer?
