New to me CZ Shadow 2

Well, pretty much brand new actually. Only a mag has been an thru her. Initial impressions are just typical CZ excellence to quite honest. Extremely well made as well as fit and finsish.
The only disappointment thus far has been a fair amount of creep in the single action stage. I'm gonna look into some options thru CGW to try and remedy that creep. At any rate, here is a pic.
I'll try and post some pics of the groups I get with it when I can.

Lol, yup.
Not really sure if I wanna keep her though.
I'll need to get rid of that **** creep in the trigger and that ain't exactly cheap.
I could sell her and put that money back into goodies for the Bren

I don't care for the grip scales. Sweet pistol otherwise though.

The trigger creep will clear up with range time and a lot of dry fire practise.

What was your factory test target like?

Point of aim on my one did change as it ran in.

About 2000 rounds and many hours of dry fire practise on it now.

Very nice!
I'll look for the test target.

Great looking CZ. I’m going to finally try one out this year. I’ve heard nothing but stellar things.

Beautiful gun and pics, thanks. The 75 series are fantastic firearms. A joy to shoot.
