Question about the original 75 Shadow
« on: November 16, 2019, 05:06:12 AM »
Came across a 75 Shadow on the local classifieds that looks identical to the one in the pic below, only difference being a standard ring hammer.

Were these particular guns worked over by CZ Custom or were these essentially just factory 75s without a firing pin block (i.e. with a non-tuned, grittier factory trigger)?

Yes, factory guns not CZC tuned. I believe the hammer was a slightly improved version but not on the same level as a comp hammer. Might or might not be gritty.

I have one. Basicly they are close to the same internally as the sp-01 shadow which is factory. I have both. From what I have read they cz champion hammers in them. Both mine have very good triggers.

Biggest difference is weight since SP01 Shadow has rail and 75 Shadow does not.
When did it change from "We the people" to "screw the people"?

Why use 911 when it's faster to use 1911 or 9mm?
