Videos tagged with Extended Firing Pin

This video discusses the safety implications of dropped firearms, specifically the CZ Shadow 2, and the potential for accidental discharges due to modifications like extended firing pins and light springs, especially when combined with raised holsters. It also touches on TSA firearm transport regulations and the importance of proper firearm handling to prevent negligent discharges.

This video discusses the drop safety of the CZ Shadow 2, particularly in the context of modifications common in USPSA competition. Ben Stoeger explains how lightening the firing pin spring or using an extended firing pin can compromise the firearm's drop safety. He demonstrates that a factory-stock Shadow 2, while not inherently drop-safe on a single impact, requires multiple muzzle impacts to detonate a primer.

This guide details a trigger job for the CZ Shadow 2, focusing on reducing trigger pull weight and improving trigger feel. It involves installing a reduced power spring kit from CZ Custom Shop, including a Rammy 2075 firing pin spring, extended firing pin, and a lighter mainspring. Additionally, it covers the installation of the CZ Custom Competition Hammer, which significantly reduces creep and firms up the trigger wall without altering pull weight. The process is recommended for competition shooters seeking enhanced performance.
