hi Thomas! its just 1 year i started practicing IPSC and just purchased my first pistol cz shadow 2. my plan is starting competing in Optic Division. such a great youtube content for me as beginner. So sad i couldn't meet u at austral asia last weeks. Hope we can meet soon!!! anw, congratulation for No 1 Overall Classic Division in Austral Asia Competition. What a Great Achievement!!! 🎉 Big Salute from Indonesia 🇲🇨
@@halomasdidit that’s great man! Glad you’re starting your IPSC journey! Which part did you like about this video? Am thinking what people might like more as well. Haha Thanks! Hope to see you!
wow! i too switched to a s2 OR with the same SRO optics like yours. nice to see my idol run the same gun hehe :) do you mind me asking bro what weight do you use for your recoil and hammer spring combo. thank you and more power to you bro.
Congrats on a great video and choosing to shoot a new division. I'm kinda sad to see you leave Classic, as you inspired me to start shooting Classic!🤣 DVC from South Africa.
Hi thomas! Whats your experience in shifting from iron sights to optics? I am planning to shift to optics because of vision problems but im a but worried it might take a long process to adjust. Whats your take and do u have any tips? Ive only been shooting for a year. Thanks
Wow. First time watching you sir. Great shooting and content! Just bought the Shadow 2 but ofcourse we have to wait few weeks before releasing 😂 sa gunstore. Still a new shooter. Curious, how does one get an IPSC ranking (master, grandmaster, etc.)? Do you need to join international comps?
Hello! Thank you sir. Cool! Hope you enjoy your new unit. Hehe Re classifications - you need to join 3 Level III competitions locally. Then they’ll take your average score % on the winning champion of those matches. D - 39% and below C - 40-59% B - 60-74% A - 75-84% Master - 85-94% Grand Master - 95%+
Hmmm really depends what your budget is. Generally I’d recommend starting with decent gear. Affordable holsters are from JR holster. Local pa sa atin. First rounds can come from Armscor, then reloads na after that. Pwede talaga mag start na naka CZ shadow 2. Solid siya. If not, marami panaman ibang options for production guns.
Planning to practice with the same unit (CZ Shadow 2). Do you know any good firing range in Cavite, preferably with good instructors that can teach me how to compete? Hopefully I can reach your level someday. I hope it's not too late for a 39 year-old like me.
Bro new subscriber here.. newbie question here po.. if u were to choose between shadow2 orange or shadow2 blue plus cajun attachments alin po pipiliin mo? Thanks
If you plan on changing everything (springs, hammer and trigger) the only difference is that with the Shadow 2 Orange you’ll have a polished barrel. Yun lang yung difference
Nice shooting again, but those RO-s need to start fearing your elbow! This is the second time now XD By the way did Khalil have an influence in this gun choice, or you've picked it by yourself? (You look like a movie star now!)
Hahahaha yeah dude. 😂 I’ve kind of just heard so many good things about the Shadow 2 so I really just wanted to try things out. Turned out to be a really nice firearm!
Great video, especially because I just ordered a Shadow 2 OR myself! I was surprised seeing you don't use a magwell, I'm hesitant about getting one but now I think I may not 'need' one
WELCOME BACK KUYA THOMAS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR VIDS FOR LIKE 2-3 WEEKS
Thank you for patiently waiting!!! ✌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😆

Good to see you back idol! Instant click when the notification poped up!
Hehe Thank you!! :)
Great stuff! Glad I found your channel. I'm in the market for a CZ Shadow 2. Going to be my first non polymer gun.
Thanks man! I appreciate it! :) I’m sure you’ll enjoy the CZ shadow 2 :)
Hey man you are finally back it's been a while since your last video. I too have switched to a shadow 2 while you were gone.
Nice! Hehehe good to be back and shooting something else
wow! i too switched to a s2 OR with the same SRO optics like yours. nice to see my idol run the same gun hehe :) do you mind me asking bro what weight do you use for your recoil and hammer spring combo. thank you and more power to you bro.
Cool! Hehehe I use a 9lb recoil spring and an 8lb main spring. :)

Excellent editing ng video di magulo..
Thank you boss :)
Super nice! Btw Sir, where did you buy your lok grip?
I actually ordered mine from the US. :)

Oh. It was an easy switch for me. 😅 I think I practiced 3-4x before Dinagyang and it was fine. Hehehe
Nice content, as always. are the Lok grips palmswells or thin ? looking to have one of those.
Thanks!!
I actually got both! I ended up putting one thin and one palmswell 😂😂😂
Welcome back bro, nice to see you again. Keep on shooting!!!
Thanks!! :)
Btw sir Thomas, does the production optics only allow 15+1rds? Dont the Shadow 2 have 17 and 19rds out of the box from our local gunstores?
Yes and yes. Prod only allows 15 rounds in the magazine + 1 in the chamber.
And yes Shadow 2’s usually come with mags that have 17 and 19 rounds. :)
Hi, is the extended safety approved for Production Optic? Thanks!
Yessir! :)
Is the PNPA firing range open to the public? Will be visiting from California
Oh about that I’m not too sure since it’s a police academy.
I really miss youuuu thomassss
Hahaha Thank you for waiting!!
Very nice idol, good job🤩🤩🤩
Salamat boss!

What are your single stack pouches brand/model (6 or 7 used ?) on your Classic rig ?
Double Alpha! :) I use 6 pouches.
@@thomas.shoots Single stack racer pouch ?
@@thom_ipsc yep!
Hi there champ! Welcome back! Do you still put the buffer on the guide rod?
Thanks! No no, I didn’t put buffers on mine. Hehe
is Stealth Arms Platypus available now in Pinas?
I’m not familiar what this is haha
Thom Taulava
9 lbs recoil spring?
what bullet weight are you running with?
127gr! :) yes 9lbs
Lupit idol, idol question lng po, madali lng po ba ma acquire ang sight ng red dot kaysa iron sights?
Hmmmm acquisition parang pareho lang. pero shot to shot tsaka transitions mas mabilis red dot eh haha
@@thomas.shoots maraming salamat idol, more videos to upload 💪💪
if you are not using CZ Shadow, what do you normally use?
I use a Metrillo! 1911 9mm :)
Hello idol can u make video ng pano mag sstart maging shooter. And gear holster, and ammo
Hmmm really depends what your budget is. Generally I’d recommend starting with decent gear. Affordable holsters are from JR holster. Local pa sa atin.

Pwede talaga mag start na naka CZ shadow 2. Solid siya. If not, marami panaman ibang options for production guns.
bakit wala ka pang bagong video kuya thomas
@@MingLaurelPH pahinga hinga muna hahahaha
Sir thomas question anung camera po yung gamit niyo na naka attached sa cap thank you sir

Iron Sight Firing Range is a good range in Silang Cavite. I’m not too sure if they have an in house coach though.
But there are gun clubs there! :)
Never too late!! :) I started 2020 :)
@@thomas.shoots Thank you very much! I'll check it out :)

Hi,
What is with Classic Division ?
Hello! I’m not sure what you mean 😅 The Classic Div is my prior division
@@thomas.shoots ok that Sounds good. I was thinking that you stop to shoot the Classic Division.
@@ME-oj5linah bro next video it’s back to Classic! :)
Cool. I will wait for it 😉
🤙🤙🤙
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wtf grabe yung GM 😮
Thank you sir 😅😅🙏🏼
whats your current level ? Master??
In optics I’m unranked but a classic GM.
Come visit davao for Bato Cup!
I’ll very likely be there! :)
Great video, especially because I just ordered a Shadow 2 OR myself! I was surprised seeing you don't use a magwell, I'm hesitant about getting one but now I think I may not 'need' one
Magwells are not legal in prod/prod optics
@@hampzan Oh I see, thanks for pointing that out. Looks like Thomas can manage well without anyway
@hampzan thanks for clarifying before I could! Hehe
I guess it’s cuz of all the single stack reloading 😆
@@thomas.shoots No problem! :) and nice shooting!
Idol gd tuod🫡
Hehe thanks bro
