OPENB Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 If one were to inclined to shoot a Shadow 2 in single action only, is there an advantage in the SAO variant vs. using a regular Shadow 2 cocked and locked? Are the triggers identical, reset the same, etc. or is there magic sauce in the SAO gun? It looks like the SAO S2 would be the poors version of the TS2.

AZ_GunGuy Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) The SAO version has the disconnector removed. This means you can finely tune the pre-travel down to almost nothing using the pre-travel screw. I did an SAO conversion on mine and also added competition springs. The trigger pull is < 2lbs and I tuned it to have about 3mm of pre-travel. Edited March 8, 2023 by AZ_GunGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 How about reset? Is it shorter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_GunGuy Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 It can be depending on how you tune the pre/overtravel screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff O Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I like DA/SA for the second strike capability. The difference between the SA's is not worth talking about. Mine is under 2 with a 1/16 reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozy Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Where/ which magwell did you add to your S2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 I got the Boss Components magwell and grips from Shooters Connection. It’s ok, but I couldn’t pass on a great deal on a Springfield Prodigy, so the S2 is in the safe for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrohuck Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 FWIW I have a DA/SA Shadow 2 Orange and the trigger breaks under 2lbs on SA pull. I'm sure the SAO version feels crisper and nicer when you're fondling it in the gun store or at home, but once you start banging on the trigger in live fire, I really doubt you'll care either way. My reset isn't 1/16" its probably about 1/8", hats off to you if you can notice the difference on a 32rd stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
