Sounds more like hard primers. The Shadow isn't quite a duty pistol. That slicker trigger means softer springs.
Try another few brands of ammo. US made preferably, we typically have soft primers. |

It was not Russian ammo, it was ammo from a remanufacturer. I have shot about a 1000 rounds through other guns so thought it would be ok, but I will try some others and see if my results get better. I have already cleaned and lubed it before I went out the first time. Thanks for the replys so far.

I have Cajun Gun Works extended firing pins in all my CZ’s and I haven’t had any trouble getting a variety of different ammo to function. Cheap insurance, although I think the primers in your ammo might be high.

I’m willing to bet it’s the ammo as other have said.
Any pics of the rounds that failed to fire? |

Been away from this a bit and haven't been able to shoot much recently. I put a few rounds(50-75) through it at my brothers and I don't believe we had any failures that day, but don't remember the type of ammo that we were shooting.
I am getting ready to order some 10 rounders and get out to the range out here now that I am back on the island and will report back on if I have any issues. What brands of loaded ammo have federal primers in them that are good for range ammo with soft primers? Unfortunately I probably wont be reloading for the next 2 years or so, but rather just collecting brass. Also all the rounds that failed on the first strike shot on the second strike. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Also all the rounds that failed on the first strike shot on the second strike. What happens is that your first hammer fall actually seats the primer to correct depth, causing it to bottom out in the primer pocket. The second hammer fall sets it off as normal. As has been noted, reman ammo is a crap shoot. Stay away from it. Any major brand of new, factory ammo is going to be fine, don't worry about chasing stuff that uses Fed primers. |

there is a bunch of top notch "reman" ammo out there.
JCCA, AngelFire, and a few others. I would RUN from Freedom. I would say the Shadow 2 loves 147ish Subsonic ammo. I run 150gr Subs from S&B and it loves it. Well, did, until i sold it 
But I like my Czechamte better, so, WINNING!

Quit goofing around and go buy a couple of boxes of decent Federal or Hornady factory ammo then see where you're at.
