Buying my first handguns soon.
because rules and stuff, it's for competition only.
(in case of invading aliens or a zombie apocalypse, I am legally obligated to refrain from using any kinds of firearm. seriously. competition only, legally speaking)
Now, I have decided on a CZ-75, and after looking into the various models, I am 99% dead set on a SP-01 SHADOW
HOWEVER
The SHADOW II have now entered the local market, so my question is:
is it really worth the extra +/- 800-1000$ when I kinda doubt I'll become a local/national/world champion any time soon?
the only thing I could really see was that the Recoil Spring Guide was made of plastic/composite in the Shadow 1, and metal in the Shadow 2 version.
is there "a whole lot more" to the V2.0 that makes the extra amount of money worth it?
and is it possible to buy a metal RSG for the Shadow1..?
Get the 01 Shadow
trust me, I am some faggot on 4chan

Hi fellow 4+4 refugee!
>>33508828
The shadow 1 is a good gun.
Seen some sell for under $800
I'm looking for a shadow 2, but that will make my 4th CZ.
The S2 is like 2K right now so it's not worth it.
The tangfolo stock 3s are $1,500 in stock as well
That's the shaows competition

New to guns here, but cant you tell the local shop to order you the gun you want?

sup
>>33509340
no.
the gunshops have what they have, and only once in a blue moon take in special orders, and then the wait is 6-12 months.

waht country?
anyways I just bought a stock 3.
the options were the tanfos, cz shadow or shadow 2.
The shadow 1 are a really good gun, but the tanfos and shadow to has a slightly better grip and heavier feel to them, the shadow 1 looks like shit imo, but thats just me personally.
the triggers on the shadow 2s are so-so, it really depends on the individual gun, as there is some variety here. my stock 3s trigger is nothing to brag about either, but imma swap that out.
in the end I got the used stock III (couple hundred rounds) for less than a new shadow 1. Mainly because I liked how it sat in the hand better, especially the big safety(thumbrest), shadow 2s have these, and the slightly better grips, better serrations and a little different profile, shadow 2 also have all of these, the tanfo also has a fully adjustable lpa rear sight.
I would reccomend buying a used stock 2/3 now since people are probably selling them to get shadow 2s depending on country, If money isnt a concern, get the shadow 2.
only consider the shadow if you dont use the safety as a thumbrest, and get some grip tape, since the serrations on the shadow 1 are really shitty

You live near some pretty fucking trash gunstores m8.
>>33510417
No, I live near two of the four good gun stores in the country.
and they are still miles away.

The Coonan is a stupid idea, an answer in search of a question. If you want a 1911 that fires a high velocity 357 caliber bullet, use 38 super or this

>is there "a whole lot more" to the V2.0 that makes the extra amount of money worth it?
no
unless you want a specific feature like an extended beavertail or checkering thats only only on that model dont do it
high end stock cz is a joke compared to other guns of that pricerange
youd be better off buying a basic model then dumping that extra money on a qualified gunsmith
>>33509440
Depends on the store, really. My lgs does special orders all the time, and has relatively good turnaround, all things considered.
