    Waaaay out west.
    My first real dry fire with the gun tonight. The extra weight was not noticeable once the gun was fully out of the holster. Index was not terrible and I was getting close to matching my Glock par times on draws.The front sight may be a bit too wide, I will decide if i need a thinner one after my first live fire session. Transitions are a tiny bit off, due to the weight, but I’m sure it will come. Reloads were a little questionable, but I also smoked a couple of really great ones, so I have no worries I’ll get there.

    The slide stop is going to be replaced with a flat slide stop. It hits me right in the support hand thumb knuckle. I have two on backorder.

    Those Lok grips are crazy grippy, calluses are going to form for sure. I know my grip is solid when I feel mild discomfort in my strong hand finger tips when applying pressure from my support hand.

    I took a bit of fine sandpaper to the front edges of my Lok grips, because of what you are describing.

    Subscribed. I’ve kicked this around several times but the tactical Timmy side of me won’t let me do it.

    RE Shadow 2: main thing I like about it is that, once you got it, you cannot, absolutely and positively, blame anything on a gun.

    RE setup: I've had one extended FP stick inside that little hole, made for a fun day. I replaced it with a standard setup, and I don't even know which one of my three slides it is n. I also don't know what mainspring I have. I think it is 11 lbs. Never a light strike.

    You done good.
    All I know is what I read on the internet but it seems the trend is to heavy guns. Hundreds of dollars extra for iron butts on 2011s.

    You grip this gun as a glock, that is why you are having an issue with the slide stop. I had this issue 5 years ago when I moved out of glocks to Shadow as well. I advise against the flat slide stop because you are going to have a problem reaching it while slide lock reloading. Fix your grip instead. (Assuming you are still shooting production with this gun).... Glocks are so different from pretty much everything else. Recently I entertained an idea of shooting CO with a pimped up G34 MOS inspired by Stoeger. I spent two days practicing with it and I absolutely hated it at the end.
    I think it is either Glocks or pretty much everything else. Not both.

    I agree with @cheby about the slide stop, but I have no problem going back and forth between CZs and Glocks. I find them more similar than they are to a Sig or 2011.

    Interesting. I have no problem switching between 2011 and X5 legion or Shadow 2 (Still looking for the right grips though). I did work for a few months to modify my grip when I started shooting 2011. The new (To me) grip works fine for everything now.
    (BTW, the key to get used to 2011 for me was to find the right magwell)

    Have you seen my freakishly long thumb in the pic above? I won’t have any problems hitting the slide release. LOL!
