Hey all, I am a new member here. I mostly hang out at Calguns living in CA. Anyway, I am a CZ fan and really like CGW's work! I just wanted to share my newest CGW gun with you all. First of all, this is not an "official" CGW model like the Copperhead but it is a beautiful pistol that Scott built for me and worthy of sharing.
I asked Cajun to do the following:
- Defensive Carry Package with all the Cajun Spice!
- 7510X Barrel Bushing
- Single Action Only Conversion with the 6SAO Straight Trigger (FPB Removed)
- Barrel Crowned and Blued
- Mill the slide & install the LPA Adjustable Rear Sight aka Shadow Target Sight
- Fiber Optic Front Sight with the Green Rod
- Shadow Extended Safety on both sides
- Extended Magazine Release
- Stainless Steel Guide Rod
- "Black Shadow" Engraved in Vladimir Script
The work came out to just a hair over $820 plus the shipping and it was worth every penny! I know the engraving may not be for everyone but that is the beauty of having a gun customized, you can do whatever you want to make it yours. There are thousands of other SP-01s and Shadows, but there's only 1 BLACK SHADOW! I am a CGW Fan and this is my 3rd Cajunized gun, but it won't be my last as my 97b just got to West Monroe and is patiently waiting to get the Cajun Spice! Thanks again to Scott at CGW for the Black Shadow, you da man!
Ok, enough with the talk, now for the pics! I love this shot! I had originally wanted a hard chromed barrel like my Copperhead but I'm glad I took CGW's advice and blued the barrel to match the rest of the blacked out theme.

3 Pound trigger with a 1mm reset, couldn't ask for anything more! The trigger has very little take up and is like a glass rod when it breaks. The reset is right there as well, ready for the next shot.

Now its time for a shootout between the Black Shadow and the Copperhead that David built for me!

I had a chance to get to the range a couple of weeks ago but unfortunately, it was really busy so I wasn't able to get a bench with a target stand to put it on paper so I was a bit bummed. I did shoot a ton of steel targets and had a great time with my best friend and his CZ collection. The Black Shadow shot perfectly without any issues. I had a few different types of ammo: Winchester 115 grain "White Box", 124 grain NATO and 124 grain S&B. No problems with any of it. It was shooting a bit high but I forgot to bring a flat blade to adjust the rear sight. Oh well, I'll just have to get back out there on a less busy day to put it on paper so I can see if the bushing makes much of a difference. I still had a blast and enjoyed shooting the steel plates. Next range day in a couple of weeks so I'll have another update.
My CZ Collection: All are fully Cajunized except for the 97b which is waiting in Lousiana as we speak (or type).

My Range: SLOSA on Highway 1 just south of Morro Bay. I love this place! I can easily tag the zombie at 50 yards all day long with any of my guns. I can also get on the 75 yard plates with a few shots out of every 10. 100 yards is definitely tough and basically impossible for me.

My buddy who is also a CZ fanatic just got a Cajunized SP-01 as well. It is an incredible gun! DCP, Cobalt frame, HC'd barrel, SAO conversion. It already had work done by CZ Custom, but he liked the CGW trigger work better so he had them redo it. It shoots like a dream and I love the color combo!

Beautiful! Those are some optimized CZs. Fellow Calguns.net member here and I shoot at SLOSA at least twice a year.
I've been able to strike that 100 yard plate a few times using NATO spec ammo. I'd say about 2 rounds out 5 last time I tried it.

Sweet! Love these customized threads. Very cool to have a one-off CZ. Keep em coming CGW.

I will be watching for the comparison!

Wow that is gorgeous! I have not sent a pistol there for work (yet) but I have crammed just about everything they make into my TS. They make great products.

Are the names of the pistols laser engraved or how do they do the engraving?

Yes, laser engraved. I believe they said that they send it out to another place to get it done. I'll be going out to the range on Sunday and will be putting it up on paper to see how she shoots. Looking for some decent ammo now. I'll have a review after that.
Thanks for all the compliments, I definitely love this one.

... :o 8) ... My WORD those are some gorgeous pistols. I love the Copper/Bronze color of the one 75 but I think my favorites are the "Black SHadow" and your friends with the Cobalt Frame... Holy $%^& that is a dead sexy gun. It's making it so I can't stand my "normal" looking guns HAHAHA. I've yet to actually attempt a refinish but this is giving me all kinds of motivation to just do it.... Beautiful stuff mate. THanks for sharing.
Edit: Not to hijack the thread but I notice the only way to get the flat trigger shoe is in an SAO configuration, is this because in the DA/SA the trigger has to much variance in position between DA and SA meaning the trigger would be at an odd-angle in DA in order to be "flat" in SA??? I love the look of the Flat triggers on CZ's more then any other gun I think but I also love the DA/SA action for general use...
Cheers

I've wondered the same thing, you should post a new thread dedicated to that question so more people will see it and hopefully respond.

Thanks for the compliments, as for the trigger question, I'm not sure. You can probably ask in the Cajun Gun Works sub forum and get the right answer directly from David.
