Impressions of the CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Target 2

[@stephentrindall8484]

CZ USA is in Kansas City. CZ-USA has it's own "CZ-USA Custom Shop" in Missouri that builds rifles for CZ-USA including the CZ 550 Safari and Tactical. Your pistol was built by CZ Custom which is a separate independent company that is in Mesa Arizona. They purchase pistols from CZ-USA and upgrade them. They also manufacture their own pistols like the A01 and Bull Shadow based on CZ parts. CZ Custom was founded by Angus Hobdell who was the captain of the CZ USA Shooting Team.

@Stephen Trindall Thanks for the information. I didn't know which was which and where. Thanks for watching, greatly appreciated! 👍👍👍

[@viclavar9298]

Thanks. Just convinced me to pull the trigger on this one :D Great vid.

@Vic Lavar Glad I could help, you'll love shooting this firearm. Thanks for watching, greatly appreciate it! 👍

@@KeanonGilliamSlang369 Any thoughts on this vs the Accushadow 2?

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@@viclavar9298 The AccuShadow 2 is more like the Shadow 2 but with newer enhancements. All are great choice depending on what you want to use them for. You can't lose!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Keanon, you had me at CZ! Seriously though, its absolutely beautiful brother. Great score!

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@KSGunGuy Thanks, I plan on doing an actual shooting comparison video with the Shadow 2. Thanks again 👍

[@32icon]

First of all, I didn't even know you had a channel!!! Mind blown! Secondly, would you believe me if I told you I just picked this up LAST NIGHT?! I LOVE IT. Haven't shot it yet, but I can't wait to get it to the range this weekend. I'm not doing a review on it though. As I normally say, everything isn't for everyone one, but this is my new favorite. I happened to be searching for other videos on it and you popped up. Hahahaaha. I'm subbing. Gotta show you some love and check out your other videos! 😘🤙

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@32icon I understand your point. Enjoy shooting that bad boy this weekend, you'll love it! Thank you very much for the sub, greatly appreciated! 👍

[@brianonthego]

I like it. My sp01 was my first too. I have been shooting it a lot recently. I like your trigger on that target 2.

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@BrianOnTheGo Thanks, the standard SP-01 has a nice trigger, some people hate the hook style trigger but it's no problem. The Shadow Target 2 trigger is ridiculously smooth, sights very well if I do my part.

[@BigJohnsonGG]

Congratulations, #CZLIFE Indeed! Carry on

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@Big Johnson Guns and Gear Thanks, plan on shooting it a lot! 👍

How does a steel guide rod Aid in a "perfect lock up" ?

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@Erick R I know there isn't anything wrong with polymer guide rods and are very well proven. I've seen one bend/flex over time. I prefer the steel guide rod because of that reason and it adds a "little" weight.

[@rockhead1731]

@@KeanonGilliamSlang369 I agree steel guide rods are more durable and add weight to reduce recoil however I don't think it does anything for lock up . Spring tension forces the barrel rearward into locking lug or the breach depending on the recoil system. Tight Lockup is achieved through proper fitting of the barrel to the slide and or frame. I realize you are not a gunsmith or engineer and it's just a matter of semantics, but it irks me when people use improper terminologies or give ill-informed information regarding firearms (my problem not yours). Yes I can be a dick.. but a well-meaning dick who is trying to educate, not troll. Keep making videos keep shooting and keep on learning. I know I am 👍

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@@rockhead1731 No offense taken. Not a gunsmith like you said but I appreciate you or anyone trying to get me to say the "right" terminology. 👍👍👍

[@dinergal56]

Sweet I am jealous now :) . Maybe someday will "pull the trigger on a shadow " .

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@Kathleen musiclvr You can't go wrong with any CZ. "Pull the trigger!" 👍

[@fumasterchu12]

Wow, that is a sweet looking gun. I've never had one of those, but I'm sure I'd like to shoot it. :) CZ sure makes a plethora of pistols, I picked a pair on Friday. You have a great weekend brother, Cheers!

[@ricflair1768]

Remember it’s European dates on the CZ factory target. Day/Month/Year so it’s the first day of November 2018 NOT January 1st. Also- CZ Custom is in Arizona.

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@Ric Flair Thank you, didn't know that! Thanks for watching, greatly appreciated! 👍

[@ricflair1768]

Keanon Gilliam No problem. I travel to Europe often and the date thing drives me nuts. Most countries around the world put Day/Month/Year. Easier to identify when the day is greater than the 12th!! Thanks again for the video. I’m deciding between the Target 2 and the Shadow 2.

[@davegass1650]

AWESOME GUN 💥💥💥

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@Dave Gass Thanks, love shooting it!

[@michaelewert9038]

The factory test target doesn’t prove the accuracy of the gun. It’s more or less a function test what they do. Standard CZs shoot between 50 and 100mm at 25 metres (2-4“ at 25 yards) depending on the ammo used.

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

Michael Ewert True, I just find it interesting though. Thanks for the distance information. Thanks for watching, greatly appreciated!

[@michaelewert9038]

Keanon Gilliam the german Caliber magazine tested the SP-01 Shadow from the Ransom Rest at 25 meters and got a group of 10 shots measuring 33mm or a little less than 1 5/16“ from the Magtech 115grs JHP. A remarkable result for affordable factory ammo. These pistols are the best buy at this price point.

Can’t get this beauty in California 😭😭💔

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@Martin Camilo You guys from Cali have it rough! It's a shame you have to go through that on your DOJ rosters.

[@rockhead1731]

You do realize those two guns are the exact same gun. For a couple hundred bucks ...okay maybe $400 you could have sent the original to a competent gunsmith put on a set of adjustable sights and do a trigger job and you have the exact same gun, the sights safety and spring kit would run you about $150-200 and the trigger job $200 give or take. The aluminum grips is what makes the new gun feel slimmer but they're both built on the same frame . They're both great guns I personally just wouldn't pay $1,200 to $1,500 a second time, for a gun I basically already owned.

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@Erick R Yes, I realize that. I wanted one that was completely stock and one that was already tuned up by the CZ Custom Shop. You're right, about the upgrades, started to do that but I like my stock one the way it is.Thanks for watching, greatly appreciated! 👍

[@slntscpe]

Cz-sp01 manual safety with cajun internal will blow that target 2 out of the water into space

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@SLNTSCPE I have the SP-01 with the manual. I just sent my other SP-01 Tactical to Cajun Gunworks. When I get it back it will be a good comparison. Thanks for watching, greatly appreciated!

[@chrispritchard5393]

If you don't know why don't you measure?

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

@Chris Pritchard I usually go by the manufacturer website for measuring statistics. You're absolutely right though. Thanks for watching, greatly appreciate it!
