Which Blade-Tech for 75 Shadow (short dust cover)
« on: November 03, 2014, 08:34:21 PM »
I know there is a forum for holsters but I own a Shadow and already made the mistake of buying a Blade-Tech holster for a standard 75 and it does not fit. Which custom shop holster do I need for my CZ 75 Shadow (short dust cover)? I shoot IDPA so it needs to be legal for that.

I was told that by RLN Holsters that the CZ 75 in 40 or the CZ 75 SA will work for the non SP01 shadow. Blade Tech people are not aware of that model though it shows on their website.

There is a thread somewhere here with Stuart says the same thing about those models.

OK, I noticed that the .40 has the same extended bottom rail. Thanks man.

75B SA or 75B 40SW, both have full slides like the 75 Shadow.

If the Bladetech CZ 75 holsters won't fit the non-SP-01 Shadow, will the Comp-Tac International fit?

Try the Bladetech or Comptac in .40 CZ but do not order the regular 75 in 9 holster in 9. See Stuart's post above.

I have the SA version for my 75 Shadow,  and it fits snug and draws fine.  The only problem I've seen is finish wear.  The finish wear is more than expected with draw and shoot competition.  This is a heavily used pistol and holster,  and I expect wear;  but it happened FAST:  1 1/2 inches along the flats on the slide and 1+ inches  inches along the bottom of the frame with this combination.
Heating the holster slightly in these areas with those areas shimmed a little and in the holster,  might have been a smart thing.  YMMMV

If the 40 option is just slightly bigger,  I'd try that first.   YMMV

I'm not excited about finish wear as this a tool for me,  but was surprised how fast it wore.
