himurax13 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I am trying to figure out if I want to mill my current Shadow 2 Slide for CO or just sell it outright and get a Bull Shadow Slide. Has anyone sold their Shadow 2 slide? If so, what did it go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 when the guns were still very new i paid around 800 for a complete shadow 2 upper. (slide, barrel, sights, recoil assembly, firing pin stuff and extractor, totally complete upper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertwyatt Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) I paid $600 in December from Stuart for the entire upper. If you want to sell it for that, I’ll buy it from you right now Edited June 17, 2019 by robertwyatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidoff Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) CZC sells new complete Shadow 2 slides for $695. Your price should probably be about 15-20% below that assuming the slide is lightly used. Edited June 17, 2019 by Davidoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Dot Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Bought a new unfired upper assembly for $650 a while ago. Sold that slide with milling, DPP and other bits for $1050 shipped recently. it completely depends what your gonna want to do with the gun after. Bull Shadow slide on an S2 frame isn’t USPSA production/CO legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor300wsm Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Ive seen a few on this forum and another dedicated CZ forum for sale in the $600-$650 range. Looks like everyone who has posted here is all in the same ballpark on price. It would be nice to have two cut slides for CO so when the dot stops working, and it will, you just go to your bag and pull out the extra slide with the dot already mounted and put it on and keep shooting the match.

kmanick Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I switched the mag release on my S2 over (I'm also left handed) I heated up the screw first and pushed down like a mother while unscrewing and it actually came out with not all that much difficulty .

Wow, that is getting steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas45 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 You can buy the complete setup from Fire 4 Effect for around 2K shipped. Gun, DPP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 IF uspsa would allow the factory made shadow 2 OR version this would be a moot point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ didn't like the price they were quoted to bump the weight limit again. I'll probably shoot Limited at Nationals since I don't feel like dealing with the hassle of finding a S2 slide, chopping it all to hell and then selling it once Nat's is over. OP Primary Machine is also another option for cuts. Bruce sent me a quick reply about a question I had. If I break down and decide to play in CO I'd definitely be good with either Primary or CZC.

Wow, that is getting steep. I wish I had enough time to get better at shooting. Instead I just blow money on cool guns that collect dust in the safe while I try to maintain a declining skill set shooting a local once a month if I'm lucky. Adulting is tough, but at least I haven't resorted to shooting PCC. Yet. Edited June 17, 2019 by Davidoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m feeling very attacked by this. and this reminds me, I have to reinstall my 24c in my MPX that I have yet to shoot in a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas45 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I REALLY like the cuts that Primary Machine does, per their pictures. Makes the Shadow2 look even cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrecks Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Keep in mind that a Bull Shadow 2 is not legal for production (and therefore CO) and also that you would have to send the frame to CZC to be milled down for the slide as it won't just drop in.

It seems that they are not going to put the paperwork in to make them Production Legal. Some of the slides are milled to fit in any 75b/Shadow 2 frame.

It’s VERY obvious when the BullShadow slide is put on a stock S2 frame. And by paperwork, you mean producing 2000 publicly available pistols, correct?

VU2AKILL Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I recently spoke to Cajun Gun Works about getting a second complete slide and they mentioned that they would have to be fitted to the gun to work. Granted that was starting with a brand new raw slide. So maybe one already fitted for a Shadow II would swap right on?? Frames are close enough that the fit would be OK??

BomberJosh Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Primary Machine for the win in my opinion. Love it way more lightened than what the factory CO model provides. Way less reciprocating mass and improved return to zero Edited October 2, 2020 by BomberJosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
