Hello All, I have recently stumbled on this forum and have really enjoyed what I have seen so far so I felt like joining the community was the next step! I am 25 and married and living in western North Carolina. I have been around guns/shooting my entire life, but I am just now wanting to venture into competition shooting!
I have finally decided that my competition gun will be a Shadow 2! I have spent several weeks trying to determine from all of the available companies and options and have finally landed on the Shadow 2! I couldn't be more excited to finally have a platform picked out. My father in law started off the addiction with the private range and competition style shoots they hold every week, and now I am trying to take the steps towards competing outside of their private group. The Shadow 2 is a little outside my initial budget (originally looking at Glock 34s/M&P etc) so I may be a few weeks from buying, but i'd love to hear some advice regarding the accessories I will likely need/want. I have already started looking through posts about people's recommendations and I kept finding my way back to this forum and finding great information so I wanted to join the community!
-Before I buy i'd love to know the difference between the all-black discontinued model vs. the urban grey and black w/ blue grips. I prefer the all black, but want to make sure they didn't discontinue it for some functional reason.
-Secondly for competition shooting I will likely need several additional mags. Are Mec-Gar magazines the way to go or should I shell out the additional cash for a pricier brand?
-I am not entirely sure what brands are considered the best holsters are for the shadow 2 (likely shooting production class or limited), but I did see one that appears interesting from Comp-Tac, any strong opinions either way on that?
