CZ Custom has an extended firing pin. Cajun Gun Works has a lightened Firing Pin Spring or you can get their extended firing pin and the lightened firing pin spring. 13# and even less can be ordered and accomplished. As for a heavier recoil spring, check with one of the shops or someone can chime in. I have asked that before and was told that it wasn't an issue with the weight of my recoil spring, but I am not a gunsmith so I don't want to give advice that may not apply to other pistols with different springs. I do have a few different recoil springs on hand though for different loads.

I am going to do CZC Fiber optic sights, a narrowed Shadow hammer from CZC, a CGW Type 2 Disconnector, a CGW Short Reset, VZ Grips, an 85 Combat trigger, and call it good. I've been kicking myself for missing out on the Shadow Line Compacts that came over a year or two ago and this will be my replacement instead of hunting one down and paying big $$$.

You could just remove the firing pin block system and throw in a type 3 disconnector and have it like this shadow.... then instead of a short reset system you could get the reach reduction and have a shorter Double Action pull. Just food for thought if you are going for the pure Shadow copy.

After receiving mine today and shooting it, I plan the following:
1) New hammer, disco, and lighter hammer spring (probably an adjustable sear).
2) Extended firing pin with light spring and new firing pin retaining pin for dry-fire.
3) 85C trigger with RP spring and floating trigger pin.
4) G10 grips

Are you kidding? I don't even have a camera. I don't even have a computer. My 2-year old grandson is working this one for me... ;D

After dry firing mine that's about the same list of upgrades. Thought I would try it without doing the competition hammer but the SA break is pretty bad and I don't care to mess with it. Easier to order the good stuff.

Mine's not horrid - I'm just spoiled by CGW parts.

I hate to say it, but I rushed to judgment in my haste to let others here on this forum know my first impressions. After dry-firing it SA about three hundred times and then cleaning and lubing it for the first time (yes, I shot it before cleaning/lubing it) the SA is really not bad at all. A tad long but it smoothed right out and with a lighter hammer spring I think it will be acceptable in the short term. It still cams back a very little but it feels lighter and smoother now.

Good to know, I'll have to keep dry firing mine while I wait for my package from CGW. Mine is still pretty gritty after about 100 trigger pulls.
