Pistol Suggestion for IPSC

Very much true. I got short thich hands so not everything fits me properly.

Also just out of curiosity do those aluminem grips(for compeetition shooting) make that much of a difference?
 
The aluminum grips are quite thin, so, if you have small hands they would likely be an asset. I have shot one with them and the grip tape on them is very nice. I found it didn't move in my hand
 
I was just at Target Sports and held both of the pistols I was interested in. I was overly impressed with the Shadow. It felt like it was designed for my hands. All i have to do now is save lol. I also liked the looks of this years model with the orange grip ( i must add Target Sports did not have that model...yet)

Thanks for all your help and suggestions!
 
I am curious is it overly worth it to get the Canadian Edition of the CZ Shadow?

Yes it has the AL grips with the maple leaf and AL plates for the mags. But I am curious on a cost comparison that if I were to order the regular shadow and buy the mags, springs etc would it cost more, the same or cheaper?

I like the idea of it, but will a stock shadow perform just as well? I would like to know some of your guys set up for your shadows. You can pm me or list it here it doesn't matter.

Get the stock shadow or wait for the 2012 shadow that might get shipped in 2013 :$

When I had contact CRAFM about the Orange 2012 they told me the Canadian Edition is the same pistol. Not exactly sure to be honest as I still learning about the shadow. Also when I talked to CRAFM about the tuned trigger, he had said they do it in house and its not as good as the stock one they sell for $1400. Not sure if it was just a translation into english issue or not but that kind of scared me some.

I am leaning towards the stock shadow as it is cheaper and this way I can also purchase a holster and such.

Honestly All I've done to mine is this:

Stock shadow w/ 3 mags $830 out the door
13lb main spring ~$10
11lb recoil spring ~$10

So $850 total
CZ slim alum grips --- got a great deal used on mine otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered with them, but I figured I may as well try them out and see what the hype is about!

It's race ready in my opinion. No need for all the extra bits and such unless you want them. the more junk you do to your gun the more likely it is to fail. that goes for any gun.

Get a stock one and start shooting! Also send Sean at Freedmom ventures a message and he'll set you up with tanfolgio mags. they work 100% in the shadow and are about $10 each cheaper than CZ mags.

Bladetech DOH holster seems to be the holster of choice for most guys. I have a CR speed because again, I got a great deal on it used.

As for mag pouches Uncle mikes work ok, CRspeed are great, but for half the price you can order the airsoft knockoff CR pouches off ebay and they work just as good at the "real" thing.

If you want a dual velcro belt Shooters Gear make nice ones and they are canadian, or CR or DAA both work great as well.

This is just my opinion on things I'm sure others will come around and give you their bits of advice too!
 
The 2012 shadow has the comp hammer from factory.

I was told it's $250 extra to get their IPSC ready trigger job on the Canadian shadow.
 
I was watching some video's on youtube about the CZ Shadow and the guy in the video said his has a short trigger reset. Is this an option not available on the Canadian Shadows? I ended up buying the Canadian Edition from Target Sports at a very good price and it doesn't seem to have it.
