Hello

I had taken my new sp-01 shadow line to the range on the weekend for the first time to try out and love it, this is my first pistol and happy with my choice so far. After cleaning the pistol I noticed some rattling after assembly, took it apart and put back to gather a few times, did not notice any thing obvious and the rattling remained. The only thing I can think of is that the guid rod is rattling even though I'm sure it's sitting properly. I also notice that that the Slide Stop does come away from the body of the pistol when cocked, I can push it so it flush but when cocked comes away a little and there a small gasp and it it states in this position and does not move, is this normal for these pistols or do I have some issues?
 
the right hand thumb safety lever on my CZ Shadow rattles a bit. Not sure about the Shadowline, but on the Shadows, there is no spring loaded detent for it on the right side as there is on the left side.
 
Check if there is a spring to the inside right portion of the frame where the slide stop goes out when installed. I think this is standard slide stop profile to the CZ 75 series. I might be wrong though. Mine is on its way, and I hope this is isolated and not a show stopper.

Yes there is a leaf spring

When installed properly, it should sit on the groove of the slide stop shaft.

It does seem to be sitting properly, I toke the top slide off and put the slide stop in to compare when assembled, seemed good thanks for the tips so far, the rattle does resemble the same rattle when I wiggle the guide road around by hand.
 
When I place a paper shim between the guid rod and the frame the rattling stops, so I'm almost sure it's the guid rod rattling. Anyone know the cause, is this something normal or do i have an issue here.

Thanks for all your posts, that learned me more about my new pistol :)
