Mcfoto Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Sorry, allow me to crash your thread. Not a CZ owner yet but consider a Shadow 2 as a future purchase in a return to Production via a flirtation with Limited and a strange love with Revolver. In the wheelgun world, Smith and Wesson is king. But everyone who gets one knows, the first order of business is to make it competition friendly with a spring kit and an action job. Like stated above, gun manufacturers set the action so the most base line ammo will run. In our neck of the woods it’s Blazer. You can get it at any basic sporting goods store. Even though I have taken up reloading in this sport, I miss the days when I could just go buy four boxes somewhere local and go play. But I digress, just a long winded explanation why I voted stock but I’m sure the ways these games are played, your poll will encourage you to “ pimp it up!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clw42 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I agree with what B_RAD stated, but did pretty much everything Rowdy did with the exception of the extractor spring. My double action pull is smoother than most revolvers and the single action rivals my Czechmate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Nothing I did is what I'd consider tuning or gunsmithing though, maaayyyybbbee the polishing of internals. What we do to the Shadow 2 is soooo minimal to what I did with my SP01's and definitely less than anything I've ever done to a bone stock 19/2011 (or hell my Glock 34) before competing with it. Looking at my own list the grips are the bit dollar item. Use VZ or Lok and you knock 50 bucks off the price of your mods. my list comes to grips $130, all springs I did $30, front sight $39, disco $55. So for less than $260 I've made the gun a tiny bit nicer for matches and I think more adapted to my loads and shooting style.

I don't particularly rely on them, but am curious as to the logic behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGus Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) I've got two Shadow 2's. Made a few changes. To both I added a CZC competition hammer, lighter hammer and recoil springs, and CGW bushing. Oh, and I added Lok Grips Palm Swell grips to both. To the magazines I added Springer Precision basepads.

Trigger becomes amazing with properly set overtravel. But take it to the range? Indoor or outdoor, slowfire or blasting away during a stage, you will not feel the difference. At all.

K-wal Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I swapped to a 11.5 pound mainspring and a 11 pound recoil spring. Also did some polishing of the internals and added Lok Palmswell Bogies. I have to admit I am tempted to add CGW parts to see how much better it can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was cleaning up the magwell on my SP-01 tactical and when I went to test everything was still working before putting the grips back on I noticed my DA pull stopped working unless I manually brought the hammer back a little (bringing it back all the way and I got three clicks instead of the normal two from half cock and full cock). I thought it was something with the sear cage that I had messed up when fiddling with the hammer strut, but then I remembered that I had read your comment here today and sure enough, the overtravel screw had walked out FROM WHERE I LOCTITED TWO NIGHTS AGO. You saved me a panic attack and possibly from having to DNS my match this weekend. No longer have an over travel screw in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrwm Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 The disco replacement for me keeps my SA pull more consistent. If you can shoot off the reset or don’t mind pre travel before your pull, you might not need it. For me the biggest difference is that it takes up almost all the pre travel. The trigger is pretty stays at the reset point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sets off everything. All work done by myself. Had issues with the light pin spring and didn't feel comfortable with extended pin as it protruded past the pin hole and wasnt all the comfortable filing the pin down.

I would like to try it but it can be shipped in Italy so I would like to understand more about it before finding a way i use the new style czc trs because i've never broken one. i also like the red colored stock shadow 2 one. https://czcustom.com/cz-75-trigger-return-spring-trs-new.html i remove the overtravel screw because no matter how much loctite i put in there it eventually moves and screws up a stage for me. it causes the trigger not to have enough movement to reset. i'm familiar with the czc pre-b disco and i know it will work no matter what with no fitting or issues. I also don't need a shorter reset than what that gives me. Chasing the ultimate trigger hasn't ever helped me. I also save on shipping by ordering from just one place as much as possible. https://czcustom.com/cz-75-pre-b-disconnector-shorter-reset-drop-in.html the 2075 fps is the one from the rami pistol. i'm must referring to it by it's part number. it is a low power fps but from a factory gun. so yes ipsc legal. https://czcustom.com/cz-2075-rami-factory-firing-pin-spring.html 240 is the same height as stock, the 0.100" width in narrower than stock. For my crappy eyes this is a little easier to see quickly. The negative is if the set screw for the sight backs out, and it will, the sight wobbles a little. I've tried nail polish and red loctite and it still will eventually get loose. The newer Dawson sights i've ordered for other CZ pistols don't seem to have the set screw but are oversized and need some fitting for the dovetail, making them a tighter fit. if you're in europe doesn't seboweapons or nordic have everything you need, hopefully avoiding the shipping issues from the usa?

hello0o0o0o Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Got CZC tuned one. Honestly its pretty damn good and no need to upgrade but once the funds come around in a few more months I'll put the full cajun parts kit. They take the feel to a whole new level.

2MoreChains Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I exchanged the four springs and installed a CGW extended firing pin. GTG in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
