First mods to CZ75 Shadow

nick_the_guy · March 27, 2008, 07:33 PM

I'm considering getting a CZ75 Shadow for IPSC Production and Standard. Is this gun ready to go or are there any immediate modifications that should be done to make it better to shoot?

Get the custom job from Angus, Ghost Holster in AZ. Angus is the main CZ sponsoerd professional shooter, (world award winner), and does custom work on the SPO1, which is an outstanding sidearm!

are you shooting IPSC or USPSA..big difference in what you can do to the gun.

IPSC in Canada. I've read about Angus but I might have trouble getting it across the border. I'll be having a professional pistolsmith do the modifications so complexity wouldn't be an issue (but cost would!). I guess the limitations would be the Production rules as I'd want to use it for both divisions at first. I'd get a dedicated Standard gun later if I enjoy competing.

Sorry, didn't realize you were up North.

No problem, Armoredman.

I checked out Angus's shop and it seems that the custom job for the Shadow is nothing more than changing the sights and updating the grips. No significant internal mods. So I guess this gun is as good as it can be?

I'd say rather the sidearm is a close to perfection as human worksmanship will allow...

sorry, glockers...
