Been wanting a Shadow 2 for awhile now and this rare SAO version showed up on TGT last week. After the owner had told me he wanted to keep it after selling his PO1 SAO, I thought I'd have to wait for years to find another one. He reconsidered after I told him I would buy it anytime he got tired of it. Turns out he had another project in mind to today I got it home. He sold the light with the PO1 [I didn't want it anyway].
My cousin shoots a similar pistol for CZ and Troy in all types of competition [hers inspired me to get one]. Now to get night sights for it.
Well I ordered a Shadow 2 compact...paid the same as the local guy was asking for his out the door. It is at Wiley's right now getting the SAO conversion and the CGW curved black trigger. Had them install that same trigger on the full size day before yesterday.
I'm thinking of doing this very thing. I'm wanting SAO cocked and locked like a 1911 but can't decide between Shadow 2's or 2011's. So many cool 2011's came out this year at SHOT. 2011 that takes Glock mags is pretty awesome, only problem I have with them are they're not drop safe which is why I'm looking at the Shadow series.

The 2011 series is cool but I prefer the CZ platform due to the grip width being much easier to handle for my hands. With thin grips the Shadows fit my hands much better. On the 2011s I cannot easily thumb the mag release without shifting my hand position.
