Accu shadow from CZ Custom

I've been thinking about it for a couple of months, is it possible to send one of my Shadowmate's slide to CZC to get the Accu treatment? Still wondering if it worth it thou as the pistol is already super accurate without it.
I suspect it would be difficult to send the slide and barrel but you never know.
If I was in the market i would be tempted. Accuracy v price is an interesting one. I think you hit diminishing returns relatively quickly, above which your paying for fit, finish and exclusivity. For this one, it is the price of a decent Tanfoglio and a fraction of what many spend on a custom 1911, so I would be willing to spend the extra for even a small incremental improvement, recognizing of course the shooter is always the limiting factor.

Everytime I look at the CZ Custom site, I wish I could just get the parts if they are ever in stock and do it myself.
I could install the Accu Shadow system, but I don't believe they'll send me the parts alone.
That said, exporting then importing isn't worth it. Better off to buy the custom gun the way you want it, then have it exported to you. The only real hassle is warranty. Export/Import again.
On the other hand, getting some parts and installing them are doable and I will be installing or making my own Red Dot adapter for the Shadow.
I also have to wonder if the Accu Shadow bushing system is really necessary though. The barrels are snug in the slide enough.

The accu Shadow isn't IPSC production legal
The Accu Shadow was also removed from the IDPA SSP approved list last septembre. So it's only approved for USPSA right now.
