Been fun reading through your progress!

I have a stock SP-01 and jumped straight into 2 Shadow2's and couldn't be happier.

Hoping I can find a match around here before the end of the year to try out for the first time (eastern Iowa SUCKS for shooting sports).

Oh, and +1 on CGW being top shelf. I wandered in there last year when I was working in Mississippi for a couple weeks. Treated you like you were family!

Thanks

Not really sure why I keep updating this thread...

Think I am going to do this next one in a U.S. Navy theme.
Brass and Blue.

or the silver one I need to send off.

@TruckinAR

I see you have your Shadow 2 up for sale.

What do you like better about the SP01 Shadow vs. the Shadow 2?

The cutout at the back/Top of the grip.

The SP-01/Shadow 1 is not as high up /deep. On the Shadow 2 line I have to hunt for the dot a bit longer where as the SP-01 just plops its butt right where I like it.

Outside of that, both are outstanding pistols. Well, once they get tuned. I will also say, once I get done playing "where is the dot", they both feel almost identical. I shoot bottom of the A zone with the S2 vs center on the Shadow 1/ Sp-01.

Looks like the FFL is playing fuck fuck games with logging in the Shadow 1 from CZC.
As much money as I have spent with them in the last few years, figure I would get a bit different treatment than the fucktards that have been coming in.

Thats all I'm going to say about that.

As for the other cool stuff....

That way, when I walk back after running a stage, I can feel even fucking worse about my shooting.

its done......

Since I need to send the silver one off to get milled, I gutted it. Upper, lower, all of it.

New one got gutted, and Silver stuff put in it. So it is fully Cajunized.
Dot mounted, using the CZ Customs plate.....that was interesting. Seems they leave the extractor pin in the sight plate, and give you a shorter one.
They coulda just stuck the damned shorter one in from the start

Other than that, it was a normal build .

I may just stick the black grips on this and let it be murdered out.
Black trigger, hammer and controls dont look to bad or now.

I did remove the front sight. red dot with a red F.O is stupid.

Not sure what happened to the SRO, but the DOT now hides halfway through the window, It will not show on the bottom half, so I thing the diode broke loose.

So, I put a Holosun 407C on it. This is a 2.5 MOA and is a bit small, so it will take some getting used to.
Waiting to hear back from Trijicon on next steps.

I am also waiting on some CZ Customs parts I forgot to order when I ordered this Shadow 1 (Black). Specifically, the extra wide safety.

I also needed the Shadow 2 mag release, and that is coming from Ben Stoeger, they were the only one who had it in stock. I needed 2 of them, so they should be here by the end of the week.

Also need to Canjunize it again (Silver), as the guts are in the Black one. SO, I need to get that in as I want to cerekote the trigger. I also forgot I pieced the silver one together from my parts box. It needs a sear as I really dont feel like filing it down to get the safety to work.
I have another NitroFin, but it is stainless and needs to be fitted. I will get that done this week.

I think I am going to kote the silver one in a US Navy theme. Navy blue with brass controls and If I can find a stencil of the anchor and chain, I will put that on it. I did not serve, but my parents did. I bet my dad gets a kick out of it.

That gives me about 4-6 weeks to figure out what we are going to do with the black one.

Still running the black and red as a backup. Not a whole lot of time with it, but it will work as intended.

Now, I have been struggling with some stuff....i.e. trying to go fast, and accurate. Easier said than done.

I wanted to see where the dot was in relation to my eye and my trigger finger. So I picked up an AimCam

I am digging it. Even though I forgot to press the record button more than I should have, and will have to fine tune the pointing of it.

Me and the Iron Man had fun today

I was 11th over all on this stage 79 total shooters
4th in Carry Optics. (22 of us)
17 A zone hits and 9 C zone.

I got beat by a Grandmaster, and two A class.

I also beat 3 Master Class and I dont care how many other classes. LOL

Finally got to spend some time with the new Shadow 1 with the Holosun 407c V2, which i am starting to like this dot more than the SRO.

How do you modify your holsters for the thumb rests?

Any pics you can share? It looks like mounting screws would be in the way on most holsters.

This is a Ben Stoeger Shadow 2 holster and the Shadow 1 fits very well in it.

It is also a Boss Hangar

Thanks. Looks like the spacers give the needed gap.

I've been running a race holster with my 2011 because of the thumb rest but I prefer a regular holster. I don't think there's any noticeable difference in speed between the two.

if you are shooting USPSA, watch your distance from the inner belt.

well, I think I got the cam dialed in and in conjumction with the Grizzly Ears I have, its pretty good footage.

Just forgot to wipe the lens off....finger smudges suxxors.

nevermind my redneck accent.

the cam is really helping me. Think of it as a tool to help one go faster and better.

Still think I can beat John Wick tho.

Nice Texas Star run. Wish I had one I could practice on though we rarely see them in matches around here.

decided at the last min to do a club match.

It worked out pretty well, other than I only had one person to bring any heat in.

High overall, 4 of 5 stage wins Overall.

They had me listed as double stack even though I was carry optics.

Stage 2 was the 1st stage I ran, and was really the first time with the Holosun 407C on this pistol.
The 407 has about a 20% smaller window than the SRO, so that threw me off a bit. but I got used to it from stage 2 onward.

Nice shootin!

What is that "sticker gun" really called and where the hell can I get one. I hate pasting targets and thought I'd ask before I went a googling.
Just put an SRO on my TSO and sighted it in. Still doing 100's of holster draws trying to get the dot right on target. IIRC you were one of those that instructed me to keep eyes on target and not search for dot then go to target. My grip on draw still needs work as I still feel like I have to point my wrists down to have the dot always appear. Practice, practice, practice.....

It doesn't help that I'm in a nanny state where most (virtually all) ranges will not allow holster draws then shoot - except for matches which are returning slowly from this covid crap. I know the red dot is dead on at 7 yards. Off a rest it's ridiculously accurate, precise and repeatable so I dont need to slow fire shoot it like a bullseye match. I need s peed work/acquisition under live fire which sucks because my matches are practice....
Again, nice clean runs and good shooting...
