Thread: CZ Shadow 2- USPSA Production Gun

    Also, the extractor is still working fine and doesn't look very worn, which is a bit of a surprise to me.

    I replaced the CGW trigger return spring after 20k in live fire and probably 10x that in dry. (It didn't break).

    The CGW firing pin is visibly worn at the tip.

    I'm on my 3rd CZC 11# recoil spring. I logged 9k on one and 16k on the other.
    Tough to beat the 24,000 round challenge.

    This pistol is on my want list. You are not making it easier.

    Just looked at a Shadow2 yesterday...I was filling out the paperwork on a new CZ P01, when the guy behind the counter casually mentions that they have a Shadow 2 that just came in, in the used counter..I put the pen down and took a look..there it was in very nice shape, very reasonably priced, If I remember correctly, $950...If anyone's interested, the name of the shop is Ohio Armament, phone # 330-878-4017..I don't think it'll stay there long..

    Holy crap, this is the fugliest pimp gun I've seen in long time. It would be pretty funny to bring this to a match.

    My taste is so lacking that I like it. It clashes in a harmonious manner.

    It looks like something El Chapo would have on his wall.

    They look pretty nice in person but stupid rare. I think something like 80 of them were made for the entire world and only a handful of them are in the US.

    Do you have more than 24,000 rounds on the pistol? There is 9,000 on one recoil spring and 16,000 on the other. Plus the third recoil spring that is currently inn the pistol. That is a minimum of 25,000 rounds. In any event, impressive performance.

    I know, right? Nearly to 50k on that gun, plus a lot more dryfire.

    CGW 10x barrel bushing installed. Old bushing has a bit of wear
