Tx D,
I spent the evening tearing it down and giving it a good cleaning -just basically getting to know it ; Sure got a nice feel to it. Can't wait to let a round or 200 go....

Finally!
A sweet piece of work aren't they - I was not disappointed with the fit and finish of mine.
Congrats.

ResOps...you are just going to love it.  The Shadow really does shoot beautifully right out of the box.  That said, I did have a few things done to make mine just spectacular - trigger job, changed mainspring to 13#, changed recoil spring to 11#, competition hammer.

They seem to have a sixth sense about these things don't they?  You KNOW she'll be using that against you later on, right?  :D

A hearty congrats on the excellent new family addition.

Congrats RO!

Come now, post a pic of the baby man! ;D

I had the good fortune of holding one in my hands last week whilst on a visit to South Africa.  I have not seen any in Namibia yet but believe me I am working feverishly to change that soon! 8)

dgspurge do you have the Shadow or the SP-01.  I ask because the Shadow comes with the competition hammer, FO sights and a pretty good trigger.

Take Care

Hi Bob,

I do have the Shadow and you are right it was pretty amazing right out of the box, but my DA was still a bit stiff (especially with the 15# mainspring).  And since I live pretty close to Angus's shop I decided to have a trigger job done...which includes the CZ Custom competition hammer and a 13# mainspring.  Since I plan on reloading and decided to go with an 11# recoil spring so I wouldn't have (hopefully) many jams.
