1SOW...regarding your mag release going too far, look at the below-linked thread.  It should help.

http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=159812


I don't have any target pics or other concrete data to show.  I just needed to add a last comment as it's well over 1K rounds even being rained out on three weekends. 
It hasn't had any failures  with 6-7 different bullets and loads, 124gr-125gr-130gr-rn-jhp-fp.   I've let it get dirty, and it doesn't seem to care. 

All I can tell you is my accuracy and scores have IMPROVED at my local matches.  The work 75 Shadow allows ME to be faster and more accurate.  Strong hand and weak hand shots are improved.  Transitions are also some better, but I've been working on those.

It's got one minor glitch that I haven't worked on with the mag drop, and part of it at least is likely my fault.  These small hands can't drop the mag strong handed.  I use the weak hand to do the drop, and if I press just tiny bit too hard, the mag hangs up.  If the extended mag release gets pushed too far into the well, it holds the mag.
I think I can remove a little metal from the left side and remedy the problem.  I'll get to that pretty soon, 'cuz it's adding  time to my scores .

This is the best production class pistol I've ever fired from a wide variety of CZs, XD and S&W striker-fired guns, and more that I've tried.  No Glocks. ;)

This is a sweet pistol.

Coolbox,  1SOW
What grips are you using?

I'm using the thin aluminum with grip tape.  I even made a pair of aluminum for my B that left NO grip surface under the trigger finger, but I'm satisfied with the C.S. thin grips..

Justaute,
The SA IS lighter, but I haven't weighed it again.  Between some seating in and going lighter with the mainspring, both triggers are very nice.  I don't want any lighter on the SA pull.  I have to be careful pre-staging the trigger now, but it's working for me.

I'm not getting what bending the spring actually does to stop the release button.  I might want a spare on-hand before trying it.  OH! Having that side bent "stops" the left side from moving in!  8)   (looking at the pic below, let me visualize the movement.)
Thank you very much for that link.

1SOW...I have no idea what you're talking about regarding the grips, but am glad you found my linked information helpful.   O0
