CZ Shadow 2 needs a better trigger action, springs, etc.

You can put lighter hammer spring to reduce double action pull, but overall it should have weight. I found that single action is too light.

Learn how to shoot first.
the most basic upgrades for a s2 are the following;
10# recoil spring
11.5/13# main spring
Reduced power Trigger return spring
this will reduce the DA to roughly 5.5#, and SA to 3#
or you can go all out and go the following kit
Cajun Gun Works #75800 Shadow S-2 Kit
I installed these on my 3 S2's, and they work great
other upgrades should be the
TR-PIN S-7 tool steel floating trigger pin
10# recoil spring
11.5/13# main spring
Reduced power Trigger return spring
this will reduce the DA to roughly 5.5#, and SA to 3#

Just maybe he knows already, Heavy means a lot of thing to different people, gritty is had , LA weigh is bad for target shooting, good for them.
I like 3 pound SA, but have target pistols that are weighed in grams.
Way more to it than just changing a spring or two, Too light , miss fires.
BTW I put a new match trigger and sear spring in my Jericho, same thing, as CZ, mine where worn; I got them from Freedom Ventures as they where in stock.
Yes, do this. Looking back, it's easy to see how what I wrote might suggest to dryfire in SA only. This wasn't my intent.
I also shoot the S2. I replaced the mainspring with a 13# one only because the offhand DA I find a bit tough (I tore a muscle in my forearm about 2 years ago and dammit it still hurts). That said I've missed a couple of easy alphas with the single action, because damn it's light. You go to ride the sear and pop off she goes. So I guess I'm saying is try and get comfortable with it as factory, and you can lighten from there, but if you learn with a light action, and then have to beef it up (new gun, light primer strikes etc) you're really going to be unhappy. Or hey, go for the orange edition 
For the money the shadow 2 is simply hard to beat, there's a reason so many competitive shooters either own one or used to.

I see the Orange, but never looked to see what the difference is, other than the money
BTW while back I had a new Jericho and the DA and SA on that was super., friend of mine liked it so much I had to take money from him.
I too had a 941, not a bad pistol but not on par with a shadow2. I know I had a real issue with the roll pin on the trigger working itself loose, something I've never had with the shadow. Trigger is better and the action is smoother. Plus I never liked the whole safety-on-the-slide feature of the iwi one, it just seemed like an afterthought, and got in the way.
