My first CZ pistol. I’m thoroughly impressed. Straight out of the box with no adjustments this pistol shoots well. Here’s a short clip from yesterday, 10 rounds at around 20 yards.

I love mine . With a few Cajun Gun Works parts my
DA trigger pull is a reliable 6 lbs .

My DA sits at 9 lbs and the SA at 3.5 from the factory. I rarely shoot it DA though. I’ve thought about sending it to CGW to get a shorter reset. I did just purchase a thumb rest from CZ.

szuppo,

Maybe this helps???

My first CZ was an 85B. Man, what a solid pistol.

My latest CZ hotness is a CZ Tactical Sports Orange. It's chock full of 1.5 Lb single action goodness. If you like the Shadow, you'll love the Tactical Sports.

I have been looking at a Shadow 2 for a while now, the factory red dot cut might be what pushes me over the edge.

Thanks for fixing the video. I'll have to try the Tactical Sports.

I think the Tactical Sport Orange is one of the best guns for the money. The Shadow 2 isn't far behind. The US P210 was pretty nice and bit cheaper, but the TS magazine capacity, magwell, etc. makes it good for "gaming".

I've got one and it's a heck of a gun especially for the money.

I sent a stock SP01 to Cajun for an action job, barrel bushing and a FO sight blade install. I hate to say it but it's as smooth as the S2 and maybe even easier to shoot fast/accurately! Since I did the CZ's with Cajun Gun Werks I have barely even shot my X-5's!

They did a bare CZ75 for me and it's become one of my favorites.

Why did they put that hard angle dogleg on the backstrap? It may look cool and angular, but it just doesn't sit in my hand right. Standard 75 backstrap is better.

Because for most folk, that dogleg fits their hand better and vastly improves trigger reach. If the standard CZ75 backstrap works for you, then buy that model, or the CZ85, or the P01 or...

How does a longer front to back dimension at the point of the dogleg improve trigger reach? I've had both and the standard frame is better for reach. The thin grip panels on the Shadow 2 are nice though.

Not sure what you’re referring to. If the angle of the backstrap is towards the trigger, the distance between one’s trigger finger and web of the hand isn’t longer. Again, why do you care given the plethora of options with a CZ75 backstrap?

The dogleg doesn't improve trigger reach. It "squares off" the rounder transition on the standard frame and makes the dimension of the frontstrap to backstrap longer at the "kink" pushing the palm of your hand further back. This changes the angle of your hand, similar to a straight vs. arched MSH on a 1911. I've had both a standard CZ-75 frame, and a Shadow 2, so I know. Why do I care? Because I would like the other benefits of the Shadow 2 in a frame with the normal backstrap.

This is no different than if Sig made all the upgrades to the Legions - trigger undercut and relief on front strap, beavertail, checkering, etc. then changed the backstrap from what we are all familiar with to "improve" it. Of course, Sig Classic backstraps are part of the grip panels so custom grips could be made.

There is an adjustment screw in the trigger if turned clockwise will lessen the trigger reset.

When you get it set where you want it,lock tite it with the blue stuff.

Lefty,
Your explanation still doesn’t address how a steeper angled frame towards the trigger could result in a Longer distance. I’ve owned both and my trigger finger and everyone I know says it’s easier to reach with the S2 except you.
If you want certain features on your CZ75, there’s CGW and CZC you can turn to.
