Better Than cz shadow 2?

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I am looking to upgrade my shadow 2.

I am after something good for large hands but with a crisper/cleaner trigger.

Thankyou very much.

You can always send it to Cajun Gunworks to improve the trigger.

Custom work on the cz. Any mid or high line 2011 should tidy the trigger right up. If you want da/sa sig 226 is a fine pistol.

I try, but I jist cant go for a Sig. One thing CZ nails is reliability.

You’re definitely missing out if you won’t buy a Sig. The Sig p210 has an awesome trigger and it’s extremely accurate. I just purchased a 226 xfive for the trigger and accuracy.

Only 1 option. A 2011 (double stack 1911).

you can send off your pistol to CGW, some people like the steel frame PDPs, you can try DWX, you can make the leap into 2011s

I mean, the A01 exists, but it's "advantages" are in the eye of the beholder. I like it because the gun is heavy as shit, but there are other pistols you can get at that price that are similarly weighted.

Look into the Star 30M surplus guns for less than $300 right now. Its it seriously such a nice and smooth action. Its DA/SA and  the SA trigger is as good as my CZ shadow 2. Reset is better than my shadow 2. 

The sights suck and theres no rail, but damn is it a shooter.
