    CZ shadow 2 SAO anybody Installed one?

    I am thinking about installing a SAO trigger in a CZ shadow 2. Talked with a gun at the range, he said he did it himself, but he had a TS. Anyone here ever do one how easy was it? How long do it take? Any special tools? Where did you get the parts?

    No, I have a TS for that. I love my shadow 2 the way it is. Its DA is good one.
    Visit my Channel "Steel On Target" on YouTube and subscribe. I post gun videos reg regularly.

      That gun must have skills other than going, pew, pew.

        He said he was retired and had time to do it himself. I think I am going to keep the gun SA/DA.

          Little confused, because TS is already SAO unless he meant he just changed the stock SAO trigger to a different SAO trigger?

          Back to the main topic...I didn't convert a Shadow 2, but converted my CZ 97B from DA/SA to SAO. I got my parts from CGW (Cajun Gun Works). You do have to remove the disconnector, but everything is pretty straight forward. Only tough part I ran into was getting the trigger bar/pin & trigger spring back in place when installing the new trigger. It was a little tricky, but using needle nose pliers really helped, which I figured out later. The 1st time did take quite a bit of time and I believe it took about an hour to hour & half (got stuck installing trigger bar & trigger spring without using needle nose pliers) while watching a YouTube video, but as everything else, it just becomes easier after the 1st time. Other than needle nose pliers, it's just the other typical basic tools (roll pin punch, hammer). The key thing was holding the trigger spring with the needle nose plier, putting pressure onto the spring, and pushing in the trigger bar/pin at the same time.

            I have read that buying a floating trigger bar, along with the trigger kit, is necessary because the trigger bar can easily be damaged.

              Yes, the trigger bar can be damaged, but I think it sounded worse than it actually is. The floating trigger bar will definitely make it easier as I do wish I had it.
