Today at the gun shop I saw a Shadow 2 and I had to have it. I think it maybe one of my new favorites. I will not have a chance to shoot it until next weekend. I am going to start shooting some 3 Gun matches and I think this might be what I use.

Congratulations, good move. I love my Shadow 2!

We don't believe you. We want pics. They are super nice pistols. Good luck with it.

Congrats on a fine pistol .
Cajun Gun Works is your CZ’s friend .

You will love the Shadow 2 - it's a friggin laserbeam.

Extremely smooth shooting too. A great range gun.

Once you shoot it, you will want another one for your other hand!

I coined the phrase, regarding the S2... "Poor mans X-5". I think it fits them very well.

And I mean the REAL X-5's not these faux 320 X5's".

Yep. I have put my German X5 away for a bit, while I put rounds thru the S2. I like the parts availability, and Cajun upgrade parts make it a great gun with a fine trigger. I see more CZs in my future....

Always wanted a CZ 75 when they became available, never seemed to snag one. Too busy buying S&W revolvers, Colts and SIG's.

Last year finally got a 75B and immediately was very impressed with it. Sent it off to Cajun for sights and an action job. Talk about a TRANSFORMATION! Have an SP01 on their workbench as we speak.

DO pursue either CGW or CZ Custom for parts or work. Both do amazing work.

Agreed....the CZ's seem to multiply some how. Doubt this one will be your last! LOL.

What did you have done by Cajun on the S2?

The DA is pretty sweet on the Shadow 2. I compare it to the Shadow Target II that is sitting next to it in our display case and frankly I like the feel of the less expensive Shadow 2 over the Target II. Plus $400+ in savings isn't something to blow off. And I prefer the current black grips over the sorta kinda 'Tiffany' blue thingys that shipped with the gun previously.

Glad to hear it. Bought one recently, but have yet to take it to the range.

I finally took it to the range today and man I love this thing. This target was at 10 yards and is 3 magazines. I think I might send it to Cajun Gun Works and have them tune up the trigger at some point. Sorry for some reason I can't get the pistol image to resize.

With groups like that I wouldn't mess with it. The trigger will get better with more rounds.

Fan-damn-tastic!

I bought all of the parts from Cajun and did the work myself. It took me around 3 hours to install the parts and polish the required internal parts.

I went with the Cajun 75810 Shadow kit, which has a race hammer, floating trigger pin, hammer springs and T3 disconnector, along with some other parts. I ended up getting a T1 disconnector which was a drop in on my gun. I may fit the T3 at some point, but I am very pleased with the setup as-is. I used the 13 lb. hammer spring since it seemed to make the trigger break a little more crisp. The 11.5 hammer spring made for a really nice DA, but I like the overall feel better with the 13 lb. SA pull averages 2.3 lbs. DA is around 6.5. I installed the barrel bushing a few weeks after doing the initial work. I didn't really notice any difference, but my factory bushing was fairly tight to start with.

I enjoy doing my own work, so that why I chose to do it myself. There is a lot of detailed info over at the Brian Enos forum and also the CZ forum. Sending it to Cajun is a great choice if you don't want to DIY. Lots of very satisfied customers out there....

The Shadow 2 is now my most used range gun. After installing the Cajun parts, the trigger is much better than a stock X5 Allround. Not quite as nice as the L1, but that is SAO, so not a fair comparison.....

That is a really nice gun! It's on my short list.

Congrats!

That is my #1 pistol to purchase this year. Until then I'm still using my poor man P09 for USPSA.

I just put a CZ 75 Tactical Sport Orange on layaway the Shadow started a new addiction.

That is purty. I have to say CZ makes a sexy pistol.
