CZ Shadow Compact

Is there a chance we will see any of the Shadow Compacts this year?  Or was that just part of the 2013 line?

I trade my PO1 for one of those

I bought a Compact L from CZC last July or August, and I think these arrived like last August or September.  It was a "DOH!" moment for me.

I know the Compact L has work done to it, but being a lefty, I love those Shadow ambi safeties.

Talk to Dave at CGW.  I'm also a lefty.  He made me a set of ambi safeties for my compact.

David said the Compact L frame is slightly too wide (by a few millimeters) for the ambi safeties to fit.  Stuart said it wouldn't be easy, so I think it would require custom work/fitting (if possible).

That's a good looking gun!!
Time to start saving!

That's what I've been told also.

Update:

I checked with David about converting other models, he doesn't do 97 or 75 Compacts ambi safety conversions anymore.  That's why the Shadow Compact moves up a few pegs in my book.

I suppose I'm lucky that Dave made me ambi safeties for my 97 and my compact.  The design is not nearly as strong as the shadow setup but so far so good.  And, I shoot with my shooting hand thumb (left) riding the r side safety. 

But I agree that the shadow line compact is ideal for us lefties.  I nearly bought one more than once but the fact that I already have a great ambi compact kept me from doing so.
