A friend of mine just bought a Shadow. Today I tested it with a number of different laods to see what it liked best.
It was a strange test. I rate groups as VVG, VG. G, F and P.
The test was the DRG lead 135 RN bullet and TiteGroup powder. Federal primers.
I loaded 2.6 to 3.8 gr, in 0.2 gr increments.
All were VG or better. 3.4 was VVG.
I have never seen such uniform results before. This pistol rocks!

To the OP:
Swap out the stock 18lb mainspring for a CZ 13lb spring. This will make an enormous improvement to an already good trigger. You can even cut a coil off the 13# spring and reduce the pull weight further. I wouldn't go much further than that, though.
I reload for mine: Berry's 124gr RN over 4.3gr W231. OAL is rather short: 1.087

Awesome suggestions and many thanks!
One thing I definitely have to change is the magazine. Notice in the above pic by 'Snowboy', the bottom of the magazine extends the handle abut 3/4 inch. I would like to find a magazine replacement that sits flush with the handle. I hope this is an option...
