Thread: Shadow gets a makeover

Pistol section is a bit quiet so I thought I would add little something.

After recently seeing some other peoples variations with their SP-01 Shadow cosmetics and internals at the SI IPSC champs, I decided to give my one, a slight makeover.

I stripped the frame and sent it off to Stu at Greystone to get a "Tungsten" cerekote finish. It took him just over a week and from the pic he sent me it looks pretty good to me.
Other stuff he has done for me has lasted perfectly so I am hoping it will be more robust than the factory dual tone coating.

When I get home next week I will be fitting a lighter sear and trigger spring, a comp/lighter hammer and new and lighter return/recoil spring. I have worked the sear and hammer a little as well.
I also made sure I bought a spare slide stop and will get another when I can find one.

I was going to go for thinner grips but after trying some I think I prefer the standard rubber ones.
Hoping to put it thru its paces on Saturday and see if the trigger work and hammer were worth the effort.
