I've shot the Shadow 2 and it's a hell of a nice gun, the trigger is phenomenal but I haven't shot both so there's that.

I currently shoot the S2 in USPSA and it is a fine pistol, but my prior SP01 Shadow was equally good. I have heard some state the gun "feels different" but they both feel great to me. I have doctored the grips for a better fit on both.

I’ve shot the SP-01, A01-LD, Shadow 2 and Czechmate and honestly they all feel great and are all very accurate. I’m not sure if I could tell a huge difference between them.

Your SP01 has a firing pin block and the Shadows don't.

I wanted one of these really bad .I currently shoot a sp01 from the cz custom shop.After handling a regular blue one, and a orange, the trigger was alot nicer on my sp01.I have not shot a 2 yet ,but they just didnt blow me away like my shadow 1.If you are shooting a factory trigger, you have to try a custom shop, or cajun trigger, you wont believe how grear these can be.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Your SP01 has a firing pin block and the Shadows don't. OP: I evaluated this for myself last fall, but use case was different. I shoot A LOT of USPSA. I went S2. Slightly better ergonomics and trigger I preferred. |

I have both. They both shoot excellent. Trigger is great on both but the shadow trigger is much lighter.
I would choose based on what you will use it for. If competing get the shadow, otherwise get the sp01 and save a bunch of money. |

I've owned both. The Shadow 2 is much nicer, IMO.
If you had a tuned SP-01 then I'd say just stick with it, but since yours is factory then the Shadow 2 would be a definite improvement. |

OP, I urge you to have a hard, hard look at the AccuShadow. It'll be like going from a Corvette to a Rolls Royce, IMO.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not entirely true. The true SP01 with a thumb safety does not, the "tactical" decocker models do. OP: I evaluated this for myself last fall, but use case was different. I shoot A LOT of USPSA. I went S2. Slightly better ergonomics and trigger I preferred. Both the SP-01 Tactical (SKU 91153) and SP-01 with the thumb safety (SKU 91152) both are equipped with a firing pin block. The SP-01 Shadow, ostensibly discontinued in the US but occasionally seen at CZC and Oak Hill, does not have the firing pin block. |

I have both and shoot both. I love them both, but if your SP-01 is bone stock, you will see a very big difference in the trigger on the Shadow 2.
Yes, it's worth the money. Get one. |

I recently bought a CZ Shadow 2 and have been shooting it at local bullseye matches...only word to describe it, is...Unbelievably accurate. Here is a pick of mine with new grips and a flat trigger that breaks at 1.8#.

I have both and shoot both in a league...the shadow 2s trigger is light years ahead of the sp01. Id love to have the barrel length of the sp01 with the trigger of the shadow 2

The Shadow 2 has a much different grip angle.
Your webbing ride much higher than the SP-01, therfore if you are used to the SP-01 you will be shooting low. Outside of that, a well tuned SP-01 (or even the Shadow 1) is every bit as good as the Shadow 2 |

Do you like shooting your SP01 in DA? Or use the decocker?
The Shadow2 can be fired in DA but it does not have a decocker. So you have to manually ride the hammer down to let it decock. Or you can go half-cocked and engage the safety. I have been practicing myself at the range and have been successful in it. Otherwise if you're into the whole hammer back, safety on carry then it'll be fine. The Shadow 2 wasn't meant to be carried but I guess nothing is stopping you from doing so if you want. |

If you manually decock your S2 you should go to half cock, not hammer all the way down. It's not drop safe with the hammer all the way down on a loaded chamber. Since uspsa is tarded and makes you start in DA on guns that require trigger pull decocking, the only one I'd buy is the SAO for such comps. |

I shoot a S2 in carry optics that has a CZC Accushadow milled slide, Cajun trigger and the kitchen sink thrown at it. I also have shot quite a few of the variants of the Shadow, Accushadow, Target, and CZC A01.
I’m my opinion it really comes down to how much runway you want on top end performance and if you will compete with it. My samples show the S2 has a ton of top end potential after you customize it. We are however splitting hairs. If I were you I would send that SP01 off to get cajunized before grabbing an S2. Stock to stock - the S2 is better in many ways but a custom SP01 punches well at or above a stock S2. The downside of the S2 is what makes it great for games - length and weight. |
