Cool, nice looking set up.

How does it shoot?

[timetofly]

I think that there is a lightened upper in the classifieds now.

[timmy75]

how do you like that trigger?

here is my S2:

[falar]

Are those the CZ Brass grips?

I like that fully adjustable rear sight too.  That's one thing about my Tanfoglios that I like over my CZs.

Though it seems I've never read about any fully adjustable rear sight that isn't capable of disassembling itself after a few thousand rounds.

[timmy75]

yes, thick long OEM CZUB brass grips.
gun without magazine is 1420 grams (50 ounces).
adjustable sight was mounted at least 5000 rounds ago (probably more), still standing strong.

i ended using brass grips not because i want more weight, anybody can solve that by correct grip.
for me, gun centre of gravity with stock grips was always at the muzzle no matter how strong grip is, i felt unconfortable.
with brass grips it feels natural, gun sits in hard more like stock cz 75.

That's the first time I've seen a standard CZ75 grip on a Shadow 2.

I've been looking at these lately:

[timmy75]

can't open link because im in europe, but i think you posted original shadow2 grips in brass.
i was thinking aboutabout them,  maybe they look even better,  but a bit thin for me.
i have big hand so additional thickness is good thing.

all 75 grips suits shadow 2.

[falar]

I prefer the S2 grips though because they cover that sharp corner just above the beavertail.

On my S1s I get bit by that sometimes.

[ams]

It shoots great.  I love the flat trigger.  The DA reach is long, but I don't mind in the least.  The SA is just under 2lbs.

[ams]

So still not done I guess.  Now with gas pedal slide stop and i ground the cz custom trigger because flat should be flat.








Still need to do an optic cut slide, I think. Maybe then it will be done.

[ams]

Ordered an optics ready slide from Cajun today.

Maybe it will be done soon.

[jmohme]

I have the same slide stop on mine. It's a great addition except that the serrations were like a meat grinder on my thumb before I got through with half of the days allotted ammo.

I took it home and machined off the serrations to a perfectly smooth platform and re blued it. Now its perfect.

If I could figure out how to post pictures on this site I would show you how it turned out.

[ams]

So my S2 is finally done with everything that I can think I want. 

LOK grips
Cajun Pro kit with 10x bushing
CZC DA/SA trigger that I ground flat
Gas pedal slide stop
2nd slide with 10x bushing machined by CGW for a DPP/Sig Romeo Pro


Maybe a threaded barrel in the future...
