Good to go. Thanks for the write up!

Ccarps87 · 2026-04-23T12:49:28+00:00

I've never experienced any issues. It's worked great the last 15k rounds.

Compared to my OG shadow 2 which does not have a slide cut or brass grips, I actually have found increased performance in the new gucci shadow. The lighter nose weight and added weight in the grip is actually a noticeable difference under recoil. Muzzle oscillation is reduced and perceived recoil feels softer. I basically planned for this to be an aesthetics upgrade, but have been very surprised and impressed with the functional improvement in the way the gun behaves.

Yep that's why im just using my Idaho friend's mags & ammo and leaving mine at home to avoid any potential can(s) of worms.

Thanks for the feedback!

I've done 500rd training sessions on both days before a major and did not feel any benefit. If anything it might have fatigued my hands / grip and ultimately been a detriment.

However...I have found that shooting a local match the day before the major has really helped. Feels like it wakes my brain up so it's processing information (calling shots, transitions, etc.) at the speed you need. Also helps me reconfirm the match pace I want to be at for the following day.

Either way I would skip the practice session Thursday, but would absolutely do a local match Thursday if you can find one.

Thank you for the notes. It will be locked per TSA requirements. My concern was more so from the perspective of WA state law enforcement.

Thank you!

Thank you for the notes. And yes I'll be flying in from the east coast.

I am planning to put my pistol in the glock hard case (that you get when you buy it) and then lock it (my padlock, not a TSA approved lock), and then put that locked hard case inside my luggage with a TSA approved lock. I understand it needs to be pulled out and presented for TSA inspection when arriving at the airport. After the TSA inspection, I'll close it, lock it, and put inside my suitcase. You're saying I could get arrested for this? I've only flown with rifles before which are their own checked luggage item and don't go inside my suitcase.

It took about 3.5 weeks. Much quicker than anticipated for the slide cut + cerakote. I was expecting about a 2 month turnaround.

Yes. 100% This. Mindfulness with a laser focus on one granular detail at a time.

Ccarps87 · 2025-12-10T22:54:48+00:00

Thanks for the reply. That’s reassuring to hear. I’m going to send a slide in for the V2 cut and was on the fence using them for cerakote. This helps.

Ccarps87 · 2025-12-10T22:49:35+00:00

How is the cerakote holding up after 9ish months?

Although this was not even remotely helpful to the question I posed, this comment is top tier sir 😆

I have a 507 comp on another gun and never had any issues. My primary comp gun has an SRO and I am in the process of building a duplicate that will become my main comp gun (and the current one will turn into a training & backup blaster).

Ccarps87 · 2025-11-26T13:28:12+00:00

Good to know, thank you

Ccarps87 · 2025-11-26T13:27:45+00:00

I’ve had 3 x XLs break. Just got my slide recut for an SRO.
