random_guy7531 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hey all - so between shooting area 1 and a class almost immediately following the match, I've wound up with a pretty nasty blister/wound on my weak hand just below my thumb due to rubbing from the slide release. I wanted to check and see if anyone knew of a low profile/different geometry release (or just a modification to the existing release) that can alleviate this problem. For whatever its worth, I am shooting carry optics so the replacement part doesn't have to be super functional/ergonomic like it would in production. Thanks in advance!

MemphisMechanic Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Just take a dremel to your current one. Then hit it with some cold blue and run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfine Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I’m beginning to think Stoeger should start selling Dremels in the Pro Shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Dot Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Czechmate slide stop pin is my choice for CO as slide lock isn’t a thing nor do my mags reliably lock the slide back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, I try to see if there is a non-destructive option before I bust out a grinding wheel and go to town . Point taken though, especially considering a new replacement is really quite cheap.

lfine Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I know this probably goes without saying but if you are going to try that, (and I would), order a new one first, have it on hand, and make sure it works, before grinding on one, just in case.

GMP Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I took off that first outer "step", smoothed it with a fine stone and cold blued. Works and looks food. No more chewed thumb or cycle issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random_guy7531 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 So I talked with some friends and evidently the slide release from the CZ RAMI is compatible with the Shadow 2 - I've ordered one of those and will give it a try. Otherwise, Ill bust out the Dremel and try GMP's suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, Ill bust out the Dremel and try GMP's suggestion. I tried this and it does not work the same without modifications that are difficult to do correctly. Looking at the Rami part I have, the issue is the dimension from the rear of the lever to the spring retention slot at the end is longer. This causes the lever to sit off the frame when it's captured, and there is barely any contact from the post(also slightly different shape) to the mag follower. You would have to recut the retention slot. You could live with it sticking out slightly and not locking back most of the time but why bother? I hacked mine up trying but didn't like the result. Until an aftermarket or alternate CZ part is available just mod the stocker, it's fine then. All you need to do is get rid of that first protrusion step and all is well.

slavex Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 there are new Rami style slidestops available from the usual sources in Europe that are actually designed for the 2. The first batch were wrong, but that has been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have truly fixed it, I'd be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I am waiting for mine to show up, but have been told they have been fixed. I'll post here as soon as I get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
