MJinPA Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Is it possible? My daughter just finished her first year in uspsa as a junior shooting a shadow 2 in production. She’s thinking she’d like to shoot limited next year and possibly shoot nationals. Limited minor is an easy solution but wondering if it’s possible to get a .40 top end for her shadow 2? Googling has not turned anything up and getting her a matching set of TSOs for Christmas isn’t in the cards right now.

WhiteDingo Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 You could fit a new top end on the gun, but it won't be a Shadow 2 slide. A TS slide assembly can be made to fit if you want to keep the frame. The recoil spring tunnel on the TS slide would have to be thinned and blended, or the frame opened up. A 75 SA slide in .40 could work as well. You're going to be limited on capacity with the 75 pattern mags though, so take that into consideration.

konkapot Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The juice on this cannot possibly be worth the squeeze. Gotta be a better way to get her shooting major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I’m thinking now that I’ve researched more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Maybe 16. Something with a wider body magazine will be much more suited to the .40. You might look in to a Tanfoglio Limited Custom, even second hand, if the TSOs are out of the budget. Alternately, the P09 has excellent capacity and is inexpensive, but they're very light for a limited gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 If you can finds a standard TS , will put in about the same place trying to make a shadow 2 capable of shooting 40sw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
