The Shadow has landed

Awesome. CZ sure does make some sweet guns. I have debated getting a pistol for years. I love my scorpion rifle.

They really do. I have three; two 527 carbines, and a 75B 9mm pistol. I love the carbines, but I have to remember to put a bandaid on the web of my strong hand so the tang does rub it raw. If I do that, it is a lot more fun to shoot it.

Only plan on getting the ghost one rig set.
Nice to look like a shooter that actually be a shooter...Ha
This is what I'm looking at.
Not going with the pink mag holder....

You just remember to get yourself up here and shoot with me.

You can DA from from half cocked as well as put the safety on. I'll check on the rest

I don't know why one would carry a pistol at half cock. With the hammer on half cock and the safety applied, you would have to thumb the hammer back, swipe the safety off, and then pull the trigger to fire the gun (three actions). Hammer fully cocked and safety applied, you swipe the safety off and pull the trigger (only two actions). Hammer down on a loaded chamber and safety "off", you simply pull the trigger all the way thru (only one action). I see no advantage to half cock carry.

Now, "fully uncocked, the safety will not engage". As in, after the trigger has been pulled? Have you tried it this way--rack the slide to cock the hammer, grasp the hammer firmly and pull the trigger, allowing the hammer to go fully forward to its resting point. Can you engage the safety now? Keep in mind that I'm comparing the action of your Shadow to a Jericho 941, which is a CZ-75 copy but which may not operate exactly the same as your pistol.

It's in the safe and I'm in my chair (with the dog). I'll check tomorrow but I don't think you can engage the safety with the hammer fully forward. I think I checked that today and I'm fairly sure that's right.
