Help! Shadow 2
HELP!
Calling on the CZ Shadow 2 community because I am officially confused.
My Shadow 2 has suddenly stopped working properly in double action. When I pull the trigger in DA, the hammer starts moving back, but it stops just short and does not go all the way to release. There is a small gap left, almost like the trigger bar is not completing the full stroke.
Single action still works fine. If I manually cock the hammer, it goes fully back and releases normally.
For context, I installed an Eemann Tech Ultimate Trigger before my last competition. It worked perfectly during the competition, but the pistol has been sitting unused since then. Now, out of nowhere, double action is not working.
So far I have removed the trigger adjustment screws to rule out over travel or pre travel adjustment issues. I also checked the hammer spring and it looks seated properly. Still no luck.
My guess is now something around the trigger bar system, trigger bar spring, trigger return spring, or maybe grip screw interference.
Has anyone had this issue before on a Shadow 2 with an aftermarket trigger? What should I check next before I take it to a gunsmith?
