No, USPSA NROI is different from IPSC which is IROA (I believe) either way they both have different Production lists and some significant difference in the rules for Peoduction division.
I have an original Shadow as well as a pair of Shadow 2's so I'll share my thoughts on the value proposition. I love the 2's but the reality is the original is a fantastic gun and comparatively to me based on current pricing the much better value if the budget is a factor. I've got two new buddies that just did their Black Badge course last weekend while borrowing my guns. My advice to them as young guys on a budget is to go with the original Shadow and use the price gap to help pay for the first year range membership and ammo.
IPSC and USPSA are two different organizations that have different rules for production guns. You can usually get away with more mods in USPSA than IPSC. Apparently my Cz custom shadow is not legal for IPSC production but is for uspsa.
Thanks for the offer! But I'm too far away. I think I've already made up my mind though.
One thing I will add is that I never really liked the double action trigger pull on the shadow...my finger was just a little too short.
Beacuse the shadow 2 has more cut away from the backstrap, the double action hasn't been a problem. Plus, the heavier weight up front reduces recoil.

I was aware of that but it was the NROI and IROA that i had confused. But after checking, its like Omagoth said, neither have anything to do with the gun lists.
They do have a say in what are legal modifications and what aren't for each division.
Np! Happy shopping.
I found the Shadow DA pull with factory rubber grips had the same problem as you. If I rotated the grip in my hand a bit, it would help, but wasn't ideal. Swapping to thin metal grip panels fixed it for me.
Now I also have the 85 Combat trigger in it so the DA pull is easy. In fact, I've been thinking of changing to slightly wider VZ grip panels now.
In the context of the match, the RO/CRO and RM have a say on how to interpret the rule book with respect to modifications.....but they do not write the rules. The simply enforce them.
I know there have been some big enough issues that NROI has taken a position on them...but this doesn't really have anything to do with production gun lists nor does it typically have anything to do with modifications. It is usually more safety issue oriented or procedural type questions.
I have determined that the slide serrations are a problem for me. I prefer cocking the gun on the front serrations, however they are _very_ sharp. It's enough of a problem for me that it is slowing and wrecking some of my racking during action shooting stages. I also have a nice cut on my finger today from them, as we only shot 8 stages @ about 130 rounds total.
Anyone else at the point where the serrations are a problem and they are looking for a resolution?
