js9088 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Besides the bull barrel what are the differences between these two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoRivera Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Nothing, really. I think the CTS has the LPA-type rear adjustable sight vs. the Bull Shadow's fixed rear. Edited February 22, 2019 by MoRivera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) The CTS LS-B is a standard CZ 75 frame with a Tactical Sports top end: The CTS is a Tactical Sports with a shortened dust cover: The Bull Shadow is a standard CZ 75 frame with a CZC made bull-barrel upper: The Bull upper was designed from the ground up with slight changes to the profile, sight cuts, and recoil system.

MoRivera Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Ah right, the CTS LS is what I had in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 complete Bull Shadow uppers are on the CZC website and a link the little bit of milling one needs to do to fit them. very interested in trying one in a shadow 2 frame.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoRivera Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Yeah, like a TS slide they are wider/fuller in dustcover, so they recommend that you file the inside of your CZ75/SP01 dustcover to fit. I have a TS slide that I bought off of someone, but it was custom-milled by them on the dustcover to fit in standard CZ75/SP01 frames so I use it as a 'longslide' SP01 Shadow. Don't know which of the above they do for the CTS LB, but if I had to guess I'd say the former. If the Bull Shadow slide were available pre-milled to fit on regular SP01 frames, I'd definitely be interested.

himurax13 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Your specific slide was setup for a LS-B configuration. Oddly enough, so is the IPSC standard. . Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, the barrel lugs also needed a little milling to function properly in a 75/SP01 frame.

Here is my above-mentioned TS slide on a Shadow 2 frame..... It seemed to function fine dry-cycling, didn't fire it. Only thing is the rear contours of the slide end didn't quite match up with the Shadow 2's, but it didn't seem to have any effect on the rails or the hammer-pin position.

rancher5 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 CTS. is an awesome gun, you wouldn't think A little shorter dust cover would make a difference, it's faster and more balanced than TS, of course it's a great trigger and slimmed down profile compared to the TS.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The main difference between a CTS LS-B and the Bull Shadow is that the CTS can be used for IDPA where as the Bull Shadow cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajblack Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The barrel length on the ~CTS 5.2 and the bull shadow is ~4.9 so you're getting some more sight radius on the CTS models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Actually, they are more or less the same length. The barrels were just measured differently.Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoRivera Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Tiny bit longer on the CTS I think, but probably negligible all things considered.... I assumed that the front 'tip' of a regular TS-type slide needed to be sliced off to be completely open. Man, I'd love to get the SP01 version if it was USPSA-legal.
