Definitely going to have to make time for a range trip. My SP01 Shadow arrived today.
A couple of the things I like about it: Extended mag release. Love not having to shift my grip. Red fiber optic front and plain black rear sight. My favorite combination. Really nice trigger in both SA and DA. Feels like about 4 and 8 lb subjectively. 
I will be cleaning and lubing this one tomorrow along with the police turn-in S&W Model 640 .357 that also came in today. |

From the CZ site:
New style sights consisting of fiber optic front and Competition Style rear promote faster and more accurate target acquisition. Shadow is fitted with a newly redesigned hammer originating from the CZ 75 Champion. This hammer is slightly wider and has modified sear engagement for smoother release and more positive ignition. 85 Combat style slide without firing pin block helps to smooth the trigger pull and improve distance of trigger reset. 85 Combat Style trigger with over travel adjustment helps to remove excess rear ward trigger movement. Higher cuts beneath the trigger guard and beaver tail enable a higher grip on the gun, which helps to reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip. Lighter recoil and main springs originating from original CZ 75 Specifications help to create a smoother more consistent action. Safeties as found on the CZ 75 SA are fitted as standard; these provide a larger surface area for better positioning of the thumb. Extended Magazine release allows for ease of reach and more positive ejection of magazine under stressful situations. Fully beveled magazine well, substantially improves speed and ease of reloading. |

Nice. I'm sure it will shoot amazing. I've got a SP-01 in 9mm that I've had now for 2 1/2 yrs. I need to order the CGW pro package for it. I thought the shadow had a race hammer? Do it man, i got the production legal kit and installed it myself and did my own polishing. The SA Break is 1lb 8.5oz. |
Changed grips to VZ Frags. Good bare hand grip with medium texture. I may get a set of these with palm swell and see how I like them. It came with 3 18rd mags. I added one of the 17rd flush fit and one 19rd, both from MecGar. Very glad I got the Maglula Uplula loader for them. Even with that the last few rounds were tough. Hopefully they will ease up some as I use them more. 3 18s, 1 19, and 1 17 uses up a box of WWB real quick. If the 19 rounder is reliable it will be the one sitting in the gun while it does nightstand duty.
