Hello all, new Shadow 2 shooter here. I recently acquired a Shadow 2 in the Urban Gray color scheme that my LGS had used. Upon my detailed inspection, it is almost new, can't see sign of being fired. Good for me! I shoot in a series that has recently changed to allow RDS; my pistol is not optics ready. I have looked at having the slide milled, CZ Custom, CGW and Primary Machine, all shops with great reputations. I know there are other shops out there as well, and I'll absolutely take your informed advice if you believe they are reputable.
So, after looking at the cost of slide milling, refinishing, and other ancillary costs, for a little bit more, I can purchase a complete slide, milled and lightened, such as the Primary Machine Harbinger or CZ Custom complete slide. With this in mind, I have two pistols, one with traditional iron sights and the other with an RDS and lightened. Anybody gone down the same path?
Additionally, I shoot in a series called The Tactical Games, combines strongman type fitness with shooting (rifle and pistol). It would be advantageous if the RDS pistol had a failure to slap on the other slide and continue the match. Probably not a common scenario, but this will be the first year of widespread RDS use in the matches and we'll see how rugged many of the setups are. I have been shooting a Sig X5 Legion this past year.
Thanks!
