CZ Shadow 2

I didn't know anyone used the thumb safeties on the Shadow.

Oh, I don't shoot competitively, so I hadn't thought about that. It was just the first thing that popped into my head after seeing it. I suppose trigger reach is the more likely reason why it's there.

Yes, in Production, you start DA. I honestly don't know if I have ever flipped the thumb safeties from the fire position. If you could manage to sneak the thumb safeties on, after Production guys make ready, the resulting chaos would be You Tube worthy. Why won't my gun fire?

Slavex, thanks for the detailed pics. I am looking forward to these hitting the US market, just might make me hang up the single stack and switch back to production.

Stuart at CZ Custom says 3rd quarter arrival as of now.

That's exactly why I've always wondered at the Shadow and all its variants being made from the safety version of the CZ platform rather than the decocker version. Seems like the latter would make a lot more sense for competition, presuming you could still have a good trigger. Is it just not possible to get a light, crisp trigger out of a decocker CZ, or is it a case of people sticking with the way things have always been because it's familiar, or is there some other reason?

[GJM]

I think the consensus is the triggers are better on the no firing pin safety Shadow models, and the low profile thumb safeties are in a better position than the decocker. Plus, you get a natural high from the drama of having to decock at the beginning of each stage and risking a DQ if you let one off in the process.

You might wanna do it once or twice just to make sure they work.

I was hoping they wouldn't work or move.

Would be funny if you got bumped to Open at Area 1 because them safeties not working.

Snitches get shot.

Even though the odds of a RO knowing there are thumb safeties on a Shadow are minuscule, I just went and checked. Darn hard to put them on, but functional.
