I was squadded with Robin and had a play with his Shadow 2. I didn't find the trigger to be a lot different from my Shadow, but then again I'm not especially good at telling the difference. It was noticeably heavier to pick up, but I didn't notice the difference when shooting it. The feel was like the love child of my Shadow and my Tanfoglio Limited Custom, slightly higher grip etc. To me it probably isn't worth the up grade, but I've been shooting the same whorey SP01 for the last eight years whereas some of the other guys I know get a new pistol every eighteen months or do the SP01 -->SP01 Orange-->Tanfoglio Stock 2 shuffle -->(maybe Shadow2 then Shadow 2 Orange ) I'm not competitive enough to care that much.If I was starting out I'd probably pony up and spend the extra coin on the Shadow 2. The adjustable sights are useful especially if you compete abroad and use match ammunition that may shoot differently to yours. Because of the thicker/wider frame of the Shadow 2 (partially where it gets the extra weight) some Shadow parts aren't interchangeable. We tried putting a slide stop in and although it fitted it didn't function properly. My bladetech clam-shell holster didn't accept the Shadow 2, currently there aren't that many holster in NZ for them and as per normally cheaper to import. There are definite trend too, with Guns NZ now being the Tanfoglio agents and actually promoting them there has been a large increase in Tanfoglio shooters. Still limited support and spare parts for them though.

I think it unlikely that there will be any changes to production division as it is pretty much seen as working. Though on a side note at 2017 meeting they are looking at a proposal to trial an new division as of 2018 Production Optics. Poor mans Open division for those of us with failing eye sight.
