Not gonna happen for a gun designed directly for a USPSA division where SA isn't allowed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacivilian Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 20 hours ago, Stafford said: Why would a steel frame be harder on dots? Harder impact when the slide bottoms out against the frame. Polymer flexes and helps “cushion” the impact. Do a little digging on here and else where and you’ll see steel frame guns destroy dots a much more significant pace than polymer guns.

LeviSS Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I don't know why they omitted the rear cocking serrations totally on a gun that can go back and forth between production and CO. It seems they would have put something on the back for racking off the rear of the slide when not using an optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lior Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Have shot a S2 Optics Ready with a Vortex Venom red dot for half a year. Before that I shot S2s with a dovetail plate. Impressions compared to the S2 are as follows: 1. The offset between irons and the Venom's dot is somewhere between negligible and zero. It makes dot acquisition and shooting close targets with no-shoots under them a breeze. 2. The lack of serrations on the rear slide is no loss. 3. The inability to remove the extractor without removing the red dot sight is a disadvantage. Failures to extract do happen. 4. The flat M3 Torx screws holding the plate to the slide are short. In my case, one repeatedly came undone. Then I Loctited it in place. Then the head broke off when I tried to remove it, leaving the shaft in the slide. Gunsmith is figuring out whether the slide can be saved. Meanwhile I'm shooting a different gun. 5. CZ could have released mounting plates with multiple holes and posts in them for different red dot type but didn't. Toni Systems has two such plates that fit the bill (I don't own one). The gun didn't ship with any adapter plates at all (just the rear iron sight with cover). 6. With a 10# recoil spring and a plastic buffer, the Vortex Venom has held up perfectly. That said in my experience CZ listens to customers and make subtle product improvements without announcing them, so your mileage may very.

Quack Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 You can get the plate from Cajun for I think $95, or the CHPWS P10 plate from Amazon for $43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slavex Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 If you're worried about breaking dots due to metal on metal contact of the slide and frame, don't take out the supplied shock buff as for the serrations being removed that was a esthetics move as much as anything. the serrations on a Shadow 2 that is milled for an optic and uses the factory or similar plates, looks weird as the plate overhangs the serrations, as do the optics, they wanted the optic and slide to match up. If you made the slide wider, to allow for serrations that were proud of the optic and plate, it would be wider than the frame, again, not something they wanted.

Darqusoull13 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Got mine from BenStoegerProShop this week with a CH plate for RMR/SRO. This thing shoots comically soft and accurate. Federal 115s felt awesome for a first go. Going to try some 124 Syntech next. Worth the wait but I'm pissed not to have this years ago. Definitely my favorite CZ outside of the Kadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
