Special ordered this from FOC and waited 4 month for it. Finally received it last week and installed extreme grip and base pads. I was undecided for the longest time between the stock 3 extreme or stock 2 AUS. Eventually I opted for the Stock 2 because of the bull barrel and the aesthetics. I was pleasantly surprised on the fonts used for the engravings, same as the extreme.

I may still get the CZ Shadow 2 but I'll wait for the reviews. If I can, I would want to shoot it first to compare and see if its any better.

I want to practice first before I get into IPSC. I noticed I developed a flinch from having a 45ACP 1911 as my first handgun. Should have listened to everyones advice to get a 22!

I believe so based on what I was told and from below, otherwise I just wasted my money.

Also approved: variants with original Tanfoglio barrels which are longer than standard (e.g. Stock II Limited) provided the barrel length does not exceed 127mm, and provided all other aspects of these variants fully comply with all other Production Division rules.

Perfect. Thanks for that. 121mm. A couple grand will be evaporating out of my account shortly. ;)

I got the fiber optic sight on order. I thought it came with it. So for IPSC my black setup is good? Why?

The black rear with no fiber optics allows you to see/focus quickly on your front sights. This is good for speed.
 
Nice gun, don't worry about "other guns" now. Just shoot your gun and learn how to use it. There is so much more to IPSC then the gun and you have one of the very best guns you can get in production so for now enjoy it and practice your skills.

Installed a frame buffer, I know its not IPSC legal. But should I practice with or without it? Not sure if I need it.

I agree theres more to IPSC than the gun. How you sprint, stance, lean, etc etc

For my old eyes, I differ on this. I like the black on black for slow deliberate target shooting but I love the FO front and total black rears for fast shooting where front sight acquisition is more important. The FO in bright daylight just stands waaay out, more than any Trijicon or Meprolite tritium sights. I find black on black or 3 dot sights very confusing for rapid target acquisition. YMMV.

i think we agree. My point...perhaps not well articulated...was that FO REAR sights as compared to plain black, are a distraction. The FO fronts stand out against plain black rears and this combination is outstanding for action shooting...even when shooting using a flashlight for illumination.
 
Just noticed something wrong with the grip. Left and right side does not match, see excess metal.

Which results in the grips not being flush.

I can probably file this myself but worried the screw may not line up. what to do? suggestions?
