I was just about to order a Shadow when I came across this:
http://www.cz-usa.com/product_detail.php?id=74
CZ SP-01 Custom Shop
Comes from CZ USA, apparently the American version of the Shadow seen here:
http://www.czub.cz/index.php?p=32&idp=1&ids=3&idz=208&lang=en
Now, obviously the grips are different. But is that all ?
Does the Shadow come with the CZ Competition Hammer ?
Sights look similar/same though they the rears do look slightly different.
Triggers look different although I do not know if it is a cosmetic finish or functional difference ?
Rails are difference but I am sure that can be attributed to the year that the pic was taken as I understand they all have the same standard rail now.
The safety on the Shadow looks extended
Mag release looks the same/similar
Frame on the Shadow looks more undercut at rear of trigger guard
I am quite sure these are not the same gun. With the exception of the Competition Hammer, the Shadow looks to be superior (unless the pic is wrong and the Shadow does come with the Comp hammer ?)
