New IDPA rulebook.

[Stuart]

New IDPA rulebook is posted. One highlight is SSP has a new weight limit of 43 ounces. Guess what is legal for the division now? Give up? SP 01 Shadow, that what.

Glad to hear IDPA changed the rules.

I've been shooting mine in our little local matches,,,,,, too bad I'm not good enough to shoot in any larger matches where they might actually look at the gun vs. rulebook. 

By the way, that SP-01 Shadow that I bought from the guys at CZ Custom is the finest semi-auto handgun I have ever fired/handled!

How will the SSP requirement of minimum annual production of 2,000 units impact the SP-01 Shadow?  It makes weight now, but are there enough made every year to pass this test?

[Stuart]

World wide sales..so my guess is yes.

[Llamafood]

is this effective immediately ?

[Stuart]

says effective 10/1/2013

The SP-01 shadow has been legal you just need plastic grips, 10 round mags, spring steel mag break.  Mine makes  weight at 38.85 ounces.  The 43 ounce max will give you more options in grips, steel guide rods, and heavier mags which are great options!  Of greater importance, at least to me is that my 97 will now be cdp legal by meeting ssp requirements!!!

By the way thanks for all the help with weighing your pistols.

I wouldn't be surprised to see  A LOT of 75 Shadows up for sale later this year.
I'll be keeping an eye out...

[twowheels]

Funny, I have a 75 shadow and an sp-01 shadow and I usually prefer the 75.  It just feels a little better balanced and weighted in my hand.  Personal preferences.

I have a 75 Shadow too.  If I see any go up for sale... Well, maybe I could use a spare if the price is right.
I think shooters who have them will keep the 75 Shadows.

Won't be giving up my 75 Shadow without a fight.

Anyone man enough to run the now-legal CZ97 in SSP? 

[Jake G]

Not sure what you meant by "man enough"!  But you better believe I will be running my 97 in CDP.  Keep in mind it's not legal until October when the new rules take effect because my 97b won't make it to 39 ounces (old ssp requirements) but will make it under 43 ounces (new ssp requirements) without a problem.  I've been messing around with my 97 and it's just about all tricked out and ready to run.  May give it a go this weekend in a local match just for fun.

With the extended controls of the Shadow is it really lagal in SSP....
