CR920 1,000 rounds later.. 

This is the type of review people care to see. The "out of the box" review where they fire it non-lubed, and give marks down for any issue before the stated break-in period do a disservice to the gun and unfair review of the manufacturer. I bought a Sig P938 in 2019; from the box I immediately cleaned it, Loctite-ed the two-piece guide rod, over-lubed it to the point of dripping with synthetic motor oil, and shot 500 rounds through it with zero issues whatsoever. Next day I cleaned, lubed normally, and shot the other 500 rounds with zero issues. It blows my mind that so many supposed gun people don't take into account and prepare their weapons. jeez.

Just bought my 920 and haven’t even shot it yet. I’ve watched a couple vidz of your channel now and absolutely love the honesty and modesty. You’re very good at explanations (dealing with all the stupid Debby Downers on the internet). No offense to people named Debby. Keep it up the good content. You’ve gained the trust of another and I thank you for taking the time to do so. Can’t wait for more content.

I bought a cr920 elite on the Morning of my 21st bday. Faulty slide wouldn’t let me release the slide lever stop. Had to send it in for a month. And I broke it in with 250 rounds. Had to send it in again because the bullets felt like it was hitting something before fully chambering and that was also causing failure to feeds. Guessing it has to do with the feeding ramp. So yes I’ve had the gun for about 2 and a half months now and it’s been at the manufacturer getting repaired for 2 months leaving me without my edc. I do believe in the gun and I don’t think there’s competition when the gun works like it’s suppose to, but if I could go back I would of went with the 43x mos just because Ik I could rely on it. Also I just subbed cause you seem like a real stand up guy and I respect that

I love my CR 920 about 2000 rounds. It is my EDC. on a sidenote It is made in the great state of Texas.

I’m at 1280 rounds though mine. Butt barrel and all. (Under 1100 serial number) One failure to feed on the on the first or second mag. After no issues. After 500 or so I pulled the trigger out of my 43x and installed it. It’s a timey flat faced shoe, Glock oem polished trigger bar and a polished oem minus connector. Trigger is like butter now. There wasn’t anything wrong with the original but I’m a trigger snob. The timney and ranger proof shoes eliminate 90% pretravel while still keeping it safe. I run mine with a holosun 407k. My eyes see the 6moa dot crystal clear. I have the swamp fox sentinel on my hellcat. I love what shadow systems has done and have a mr920 with over 10k through it.

Yeah, my trigger's been good too. Nice and smooth, not too heavy (my Hellcat Pro trigger is heavier). Had some feed failures with the first few mags but it's loosened up since. Putting a bit more oil than you think you need helps.

The one I just bought wont manually chamber a round 50% of the time. Nose down jam. To clear, you must lock the slide back and remove the magazine. 30+ years with Glocks and even PSA Daggers, and I've never seen anything like this. Something's not right. Waiting for SS's response.

It is a false wall. That second bit of creep is you compressing the striker spring retracting the striker the rest of the way. Unlike M&Ps or XDs the striker does not fully retract when the slide is racked. It's a "safety feature" shared by glock. Wish SS had chose to move away from it since one of the most common glock mods is a new connector to change that.

I also love the G-Code, but I don't like the open-space behind the trigger that's not covered...and it's worse for me since I have a JG trigger in the gun that is set even further back than the OEM SS trigger. I really wish G-Code would make a CR-specific holster for that reason alone. I've shot all the micro-9s, and none shoots as well when you balance out the weight and size...and 13+1 is perfect.

I own a cr920 and I love it so far. Thanks for the video

Sold mine asap. Really wanted to like it but the trigger and mag release were terrible

You explained exactly how I feel about the micro 9's in general. It's why I love the 43x. I want the war poet version of this

Not broken in yet but i am aCanik fan and this trigger sucks.

Zero issues with mine. Not a single failure. Idk, I think they had some issues at the beginning. Good to go now.

I am looking forward to picking up a 920C elite soon.

To get rid of the gritty trigger you gotta clean the fucker. Clean after you buy. That’s for any firearm

I’ve only got about 150 rounds through this little CR 920 so I hesitate to comment having not completed the break-in yet. Haven’t experienced any feed problems and seeing as it’s a Glock clone, the trigger is pretty much what I expected. It’s my habit to deburr and lightly polish up internals and feed ramp with some Flitz and a dremel with any new firearm. pretty much does away with the grittyness all mass production firearms seem to have. I did experience light primer strikes, however. Turns out the striker assembly channel needs to stay dry. any lubricant that gets in there, ends up creating enuf hydraulic resistance and to prevent proper function of the firing pin. found out that the tendency of all Glocks BC, the RSO - who’s is an OG Glock guy that really likes what shadow system is doing - had the light strike problem diagnosed in about a half a second. Haven’t had a problem since. Seeing as I am stuck in a 10 round state, I was happy to see SS finally offer up a pinky extension upgrade for their flush fit magazine. I think they could have made the extension a little longer. And I had rigged up my own using some aftermarket G 43X extensions that functions great but looked like something I made in my basement. Lol. Guess I’ll stick with the SS extensions. At 10 bucks apiece I’d hate to get robbed and have nothing to show for it! LOL. All in all - and I’m not complaining - I just don’t think I’d buy it again if I had a chance to do it over. it’s not a bad gun. It’s “not a bad gun” that’s kind of expensive. For comparison Beretta has the A1 carry that sells for $335 and now has a $100 rebate. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Sorry. Longwinded comment. Keep up the great work! Revisiting the CR after your initial video is exactly the kinda thing gun geeks like me hope to see. Continue the conversation! Cheers!!

I have the CR920 and I really like everything about it except the trigger. My 43X has a MUCH smoother trigger. I reached out to Shadow Systems and they are suppose to be sending me some replacement trigger parts that they think will solve the problem. We'll see, I definitely hope so.

I really have had no issues with the trigger other than the break-in period where I shot it about 220+ times. My finger was a bit tender, but no blister, etc. no failures whatsoever. I used good quality ammunition, shot 115, 124, and 147 gr. Bullets both FMJ and hollow points. It is my primary carry weapon and my secondary is a Glock 43x.

Thinking about this or MR 920

I’ve got the full size war poet, had like 5 failure to feeds in the break in period.

Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gun powder and protein plot"

I have the War Poet love how it carries but prefer my p365xl with 10 rd lower

Typical of a Glock trigger. A ceramic file/stone follow by some polishing is all it needs to get smooth action on the trigger

just found your channel. enjoying your videos so far. Man that trigger looks like crap. I'm trying to justify this CR920 over 365x or canik mc9. this trigger just seems to be a deal breaker. So why do i keep coming back to it? marketing? because i like War Poet?

Just got one today. Watched lots of videos including yours. Thanks for posting them. They really helped me decide. I was hoping for a threaded barrel 920 but SS said no current plans.

Very useful to know your honest opinion. I carry a 365x and the mag sticking out like that is something that seams very off. The 365x has a really comfortable full hand grip that seems better then the CR. How do you compare them?

I have 365 rounds through my CR that I just purchased. Compared to my Glock 26 trigger dry firing I can definitely tell a difference that the Glock 26 trigger is better however firing at the range I cannot tell a difference, and it does not affect my shooting. I am happily surprised, and pleased how well this gun shoots. And like you I love these iron sights. I can pick up the front sight perfectly in that 15 yards I’m center mass.

Do a review on the mustang

Well I had a nice surprise in the mail today. Got in the trigger assembly from Shadow Systems today. They sent me the whole assembly setup. I managed to use my not so skilled gunsmithing ability to change it out on the CR 920. I was skeptical because I didn't see any difference from the original trigger assembly BUT after I got it in and dry fired it a few times it really is much better. The grittiness on the trigger pull was almost all gone. Pretty smooth take up now and reset. So, off to the range tomorrow to see it helps my accuracy. I hope so because I really like everything else about the gun. I had and still do have a 43X but I wanted more capacity (I tried the Shield S15 mags but the are not reliable)and more concealability which the CR920 gives me. I had waited to long to get it and then to have the issue with the trigger really irked me.

Thanks for the continued videos! Yeah my trigger definitely lightened up, but it's still pretty rough when you sit there and stare at it. I think in the moment of shooting that melts away a bit, but still think for this price it should have been better... I have also had 100% reliability EXCEPT when I tested out my favorite carry ammo, underwood Xtreme defender with the screwdriver tip, failure to feed almost every round. My Walther PPS never had that problem, but I'm not too upset having to switch to HSTs. Just been getting that iron sight muscle memory down before putting a red dot on top, but overall still excited by the gun.

Does your hand get in the way when releasing the mag?

Which gun model is the gcode stealth you use? 43x mos rail or 48 mos rail?

How is the recoil management

Does it need +P ammo?
