I LOVE, my CZ Tactical, I was uneasy with no safety, I was skeptical about this "double action saftey" stuff...but, I'm a believer now. Its very hard for a child to pull that trigger on decock mode. This pistol is the first time I have Tritium sights..they're amazing.

I have the Shadow 2 Orange, same as in only manual safety, but you should be able to pull trigger, manually & slowly drop hammer, before hammer completely drops release the trigger, then will be on half-cock like if it had a decocker. Still have the DA/SA function without the decocker.

I have a Shadow 2, and while I've never handled an SP-01 Tactical, I do own the Competition model, which is more or less the same, only with a Shadow 2 pricepoint and coming factory with what Cajun Gunworks would do to a Tactical. I've got to say, I'm completely torn between the two. In many regards, I prefer the SP-01, but in the end love both equally. The people I let shoot both back to back have given me very polarizing, 50/50 splits on their preferences. It's bizarre how polarizing these two pistols are when I break them out, and how consistently evenly people prefer one over the other by wide margins.

The Shadow 2 is also a DA/SA gun just like the SP-01 Tactical. If I was going to carry my Shadow 2, I would carry it in DA with the hammer on the 1/4 cocked notch (keeps the hammer from resting on the firing pin). The only meaningful difference in safety features between these two is the firing pin block on the SP-01 (the Shadow 2 doesn’t have one). Prior to the late 70’s/early 80’s firing pin blocks weren’t in common use on any pistols. I definitely prefer a firing pin block for my carry pistols but don’t see it as a deal-breaker if an otherwise well made pistol doesn’t have one.

Could literally buy all the parts in the shadow and upgrade the SP01. Only thing you can’t change is obviously any external things like the serrations etc.

Do you think a SP-01 would fit in a holster that’s designed for a shadow 2 running a TRL1 HL light, the holster locks onto the light, i’m looking to purchase a Dara holster but they only have it for the shadow 2 but I’m thinking it will work for a SP-01 considering there’s not too much of a difference, if you could check them out and get back to me regarding my question, that would be fantastic sir

It’s possible

There is sp01 safety model out there too. Before the shadow line came out it is the preferred platform for competition shooters. Really most people don't use S2 factory grips because when your hands are wet the alu grips slippery, the stock S2 DA is more close to 10lb instead of 8 I think. With a trigger job S 2 can get the trigger down to 5.5/2ish DA/SA which sp01 can never do. Would you actually thinking about carry the sp01 which is about 44? oz loaded ? Instead of maybe a CZ P01?

My SP-01 has a 4 lb DA trigger out of the box

The SP-01 just fit my hand better. That hump on the back of the Shadow 2 is pronounced and hits me wrong. Got the manual-safety version, not the de-cocker. No light-pipe front sight, just some very poor "luminescent paint" dots that don't luminesce. Some paint fixed the dots. The plastic guide rod is a little of a bummer, but I do like the stock grips. My thumb lays on top of the left grip like a thumb rest. Too big to carry unless open, which I don't do except at the range/hunting/field. Maybe a PCR or Compact for winter carry down the road.

I guess most inexperienced shooters, are totally unfamiliar with revolvers, or how to de cock a revolver. There never was a de-cocker, on any revolver. You did it manually from SA back to DA. Then you would understand the same principle applies to de-cocking a DA SA semi-auto pistol without a de-cocker like the Shadow 2 pistol and be comfortable with it!

@TiberiousGib

I understand the concept but not something I’m comfortable doing as I carry and shoot mostly striker fired guns.

This is an honest question. It literally seems that the only discernible MAJOR difference between the SP-01 and the Shadow II seems to be the price and the firing pin block....and other differences (such as polymer guide rod, trigger, etc.) which you talk about upgrading. If you spend that money for the upgrades discussed, you are spending the same amount you would have to have simply bought the Shadow II. I have watched the video a few times to try to see what I am missing. Please, why is the gun that you are going to practically spend the money to upgrade the one gun to be a copy of the other gun (except the one has a firing pin block) the choice?

These are variants of the same gun but for different purposes You’d only buy a Shadow 2 for competition or as a range toy The Sp-o1 tactical is a full sized duty gun that is a very popular competition gun as well in the Shadow 1 variant The DA/SA has the same safety mech in both guns - only difference is you manually decock the Shadow 2 The Shadow 2 has the thumb safety for 3 - gun use - otherwise it would always be decocked to start a competition stage I have a Shadow 2 - it’s so easy to shoot well - it’s almost boring ..
