Sidearms & Scatterguns New Shadow

[Gosu]

One of the best things about having a wife that is into everything that you are is it is easy <span style="font-weight: bold">most of the time </span>to get her to agree to new toys, as long as there hers (or so she thinks they are). It does take a little up front work to mold her into what you really like, but with time and some hard work it pays off.

Anyways, our new Shadow.

It is a CZ custom and I must say one of the best places that I have bought a firearm from in a long time. My only downfall is they where out of mags and I will need to find some soon.

Re: New Shadow

Thats a nice pistol. I've never owned a CZ but would like to get a Dan Wesson (I favor 1911's). Although this looks like a good gun for wifey or ppl with smaller hands.

Re: New Shadow

I just bought a used .45 enhanced *1 Yost-Benitz custom here before Xmas.
Need a few parts for AR stuff that I need to finish with the craziness then maybe.

Re: New Shadow

I really want a custom shadow and was about to go ahead and pick one up but I came across a STI Edge that I couldn't live without.

I really like the Edge also, very nice piece. Post a pic of it. Last night was the first time for doing dry fire drills with it and I must say I am really, really impressed with the trigger. Made me look like I knew what I was doing.

Wife's Colt and XDM to go with the CZ.

Re: New Shadow

How do you like the XDM? I was torn between that and the M&P pro and ended up oing with the Pro when I bought my first production gun.

It is ok, I really love the ease of tearing it down. Good feel, good groups, trigger better than the XD but it isn't no decent 1911. But then again, it didn't cost no where as much either. Funny thing is I think I sold it tonight. We will see.

I think the M&P Pro is nice piece for sure, but even though I like the ergos better with the M&P, I like how the XDM handles better. Thing is the pro has more things going for it if you wish to compete USPSA or well you get the idea.
