New Shadow 2 extraction problem

[theocho]

Looks like (to me) the finish on the breach, not the breach face was completely removed about two-thirds back. and the front edge received a bit more bevel. Looks like a lot of polishing goes on with these pistols. Don't get me wrong every gun community has their particular form of massage.

Considering the live round needs to slide up into the breach face and under the extractor hook in order to feed right, that makes sense.

Well your right. Still a lot of polishing on a gun of that expense. Not to knock CZ. I guess Orange receives more attention.

Doubt it.  You just got one that needed some TLC.  I have two Black/Blue models, both of them worked fine out of the box.

well just my luck then

Hello!
I have 3 Shadow 2s.
The problem is with one pistol (other 2 are working flawlessly), the fired case gets left in the chamber, and the next round trying to feed, jamming the case in. (and mag too)
Pistol is out of warranty. 3+ years old. maybe 50k rds fired.

Things I've tried:
-Factory ammo, S&B, PPU, Geco...
-125-130-135 PF reloads
-Stock pistol, with stock springs
-pistol with CGW and CZUB aftermarket parts
-Dozen of recoil springs in endless combinations
-Dry extractor, wet extractor
-Dirty gun, clean gun
-stronger extractor spring
-stronger extractor spring with one coil cut off
-new non-used extractor
-took extractors+springs from working pistols
-tried new magazines, magazines from working pistols, new magazine springs...

It is always the same, from the first day I bought it, FTE jam happens in around 1/100-1/150-1/200 rounds fired.

Anything left I can do except melt it in scrap iron?

Swap a barrel to one of your other pistols and see if it follows. My problem has become more intermittent with the OG barrel. I have since picked up a barrel or two.

With the slide off and barrel removed, will the extractor hold a spent 9mm case against the breech face?  Does it have any tension?  Does the case wobble up and down at all?

Any burrs in the extractor claw channel?  Without the extractor installed, does it slide into place easily?

The barrel swap idea is a quick and easy to test to perform as well.

Cheers,
Toby

I had the same issue with my Shadow 2. I sent it back to the distributor who replaced the extractor spring, but it still happened. I wasn't convinced that it was strong enough, so I replaced it with a stronger one. I've had 0 problems over the next 2000 rounds. HTH.

I had the same problem with my s2 , cleaned the extractor really well and removed the buffer on the guide rod and hasent happened since
