How do you like the SF compared to your Shadow?
I would say it's about 80-85% of my Shadow. This is because of three things, two which can be fixed in the near future with the release of factory or after market part. Also, I have smaller hands so my issues may not apply to everyone.
• needs an extended mag release
• needs smaller (thinner) grip
• the damn frame is too short
I shaved the top of the grip panel a bit today and then somewhat stippled it for some grip. It feels better for my index finger and thumb. I could have shaved the whole grip panel down but my amateur stippling is not as aggressive as the factory texture.
The damn frame is too short. This is also a problem for me with the polymer. When I reload with the stock walther magazine I usually pinch my hand. To combat this issue, I use Canik TP9 mags. The Canik mags are longer than the Walther mags so there is a gap that saves me from the pinching.
Even with these small nuisances, I enjoy shooting the gun. Once the extended mag release and thinner grips are released it'll be very difficult to choose which gun to shoot for Production if there is no Walther contingency at a match.
