I shot the shadow in competition for the first time last weekend. It ran like a top. I also spoke to Angus briefly. He was a friendly sort.

This was a 3 gun event and I was allowed to run it cocked and locked -- Single action. I really like this with this gun...I'm afraid this could lead to a .40 limited cz.

It should be noted that the gun does not seem to like blazer aluminum. I found out during practice with a bunch of mixed ammo - not during comp. I'm not particularly a fan of AL cases but just thought I'd mention it.

At the 3 gun event I got to check out a really nice CZ Open gun...maybe he'll share pics? He gave me a heads up on parabelluminc.com for the very cool texture on his grips. Thanks!

hk_mtbr,

Aren't you from NKY?

Where was the 3-gun match, and what was your impression of Parabellum's stuff?  They are outta Louisville, correct?

You of course don't have to divulge if you aren't comfortable doing so..... I just recognized names and places local to me (I'm NKY too), and wondered if I missed something big.

What a great looking Shadow. The gun just pops out at you in the pictures. I can't believe how much a differance the red grips make. Hope you have many hours of enjoyment with the Shadow. Good luck.

The 3gun was near Mammoth Cave KY. www.brm3g.com Blue Ridge Mtn 3 Gun...it was a 3 day multi-gun event.

Multi-gun because they had two sniper rifle stages...a Barrett 50 BMG on one and a Remy 700 .308 on another...I highly recommend the event for next year. But you'd better be in shape to haul all the equip around...this was my first REAL 3G and that might not have been the best to start with...3 long days and LOTS to remember...breathe...breathe...

I haven't used para yet but the other guy had them refinish a shadow and add some "rubbery" texture on the grips where the skate tape was. It looked very nice and the shooter seemed pleased too.

For what it is worth...there is a rifle side match after the uspsa pistol match outside oxford ohio this Sunday...if you are in the area...

And NKY...sort of...not really anymore... >:(...I moved across the river recently...now an OH resident.

I have to ask you how much that beautiful piece of firearms cost you out the door?

I would love something of a similar nature in the future.
