Good review and I actually give you plenty of respect for not editing the splash in the background when you missed the hostage target😉 shows that you are not a egotistical fella and you are genuinely giving everyone a good insight into this beautiful Czech pistol. Thank you Justin

I held a cz shadow 2 for the first time yesterday. Gun shop let me hold it even though it’s only for law enforcement to buy in CA. I thought it was going to feel like my SP-01 and damn was I wrong. This gun felt heavy, hefty and bigger. I fell in love.

@TheHumbleMarksman 6 лет назад

They made the grip longer front to back so they relieved the area under the grip tang to keep trigger reach the same. Comp shooters wanted a grip more like a Tanfo so support hands could find a better anchor point. I put up my review of the Shadow 2 with way too much info a while back. I'm a CZ nerd so keep up with that stuff.

Everyone stop complaining about how much it costs, it is after all a race gun and as far as race guns go its at the low end. You want the super performance but the cost of a high point. Quit whining and save for a really good gun... or get rid of 2 or 3 of your Glocks, or 7 or 8 of your high points. Savy?

@luiscolon921 6 лет назад

I'm searching for a Shadow 2 currently. Is it possible to reduce the DA trigger pull without reducing the SA much? Asking since the Shadow 2 might serve as my bedside HD pistol as well as a plinker/competition.

@mwm1960 3 года назад

I didn't think I would like the grip bump but after a few hundred rounds I understand why it's there. It assists the palm to counter rotation of recoil. It is placed inline with the stronger point of the palm. The palm web is much weaker support against the grip spur. Makes me wish my other CZs had that.

@pete7389 6 лет назад

@sweetcostarica 5 лет назад

For every step forward (Glocks revolution in polymer striker-fired pistols), there is always a step backward (CZ hammer fired heavy all steel monsters). There must be a narrow maker for these antiques i.e the CZ Shadow. *Note:* I am not be negative, I am being pro modern technology.

Regardless of how you rank technology, as if striker-fired is inherently superior to hammer, compare a similar gun, such as a Glock 34 (which I have) with the Shadow 2. The Glock may be lighter, but in most every other way, the Shadow 2 betters it -- especially right out of the box. Before I even shot the G34, I had to change the sights -- and $100. The trigger on the Gen 5 is ok, but it can't compare to the Shadow 2's trigger. Maybe someday, in the $800 to $1100 price range, there will be a good striker-fired pistol. Maybe someday.

@sweetcostarica 5 лет назад

@ I get it you like old tech. *Mr Jones.* In this case hammer fired pistols. My Grandfather likes revolvers. He says the Colt Python is better than automatics cause they fire faster, which they do but automatics are superior to revolvers in many other ways. *Explanation of Gun Weights* You said, "The Glock may be lighter..." That is 100% correct. So the *Glock 17* is much lighter at *625g (22 oz)* empty than the new-ish *CZ Shadow 2's* *1318g (46.5 oz)* when unloaded The *GLOCK 34* has a weight of *735g (25.93 oz)* empty. I forgot to list this. *(EDITED)* *QUESTION TIME* Then you said *Hypercube Jones:* "...but in most every other way, the Shadow 2 betters it -- especially right out of the box." Explain the *"most every other way* please, i.e. list those "out of the box betterments. Please use facts not any *more* personal opinion. Thanks for a fun discussion/debate as I will definitely be responding to you answers. *BTW:* The Shadow 2 & Glock 34 are competition guns so fill me in on the competitions you have attended/your gun set up/etc. and I will weight in on that too.

@sweetcostarica 5 лет назад

@ Hi, brother after you saying: *"...but in most every other way, the Shadow 2 betters it -- especially right out of the box"* (referring to the Glock 34 vs the CZ Shadow 2). AND after I (sweetcostarica) asking this, *"Explain the "most every other way please, i.e. list those "out of the box betterments.* *Please use facts not any more personal opinion."* You stated nothing new, restated what we already knew (the better weight of a Glock over an all steel CS Shadow), and bought a competition gun you have not used, will not use, and will go off in a different area of the caliber corner by talking up .22LR shooting. Is it fair to say you really don't really know anything else on the Glock 34 vs the Shadow 2 and were just "RU-vid trashing" the Glock 34? Ok, I guess I knew this but was just seeing if you were by chance really going to say something I did not know. Anyway, one thing you stated that I know about after the US Navy is grip angles. You said about the Ruger Mark IV, "It has the same kind of weird grip angle as the Glock,..." That is a very common *European grip angle* on the Ruger 22s, the Glock, and on the Swiss & German Luger .32/9mm also. The *1911 grip angle* is unique to the USA only or I should say mostly. Stay frosty & *honest.*

I've been eyeing the Shadow 2, so I was delighted to run across your video. Very good video. Class act in the way you present and use the camera and talk about the firearm in between shooting. I've subscribed, and please do that comparison you talked about doing at the end of this video. I'll check your archive, but I'm also looking at Kimber. I'm struggling on what size I want now. I have several concealed carries, but do I want a 4 inch or 5 inch barrel, or do I want the full sized Shadow 2. Can't make up my mind. Honestly, the Shadow 2 is everything I want in a concealed carry, except for the weight and size! Darn it! Help me out please.

@TheCallie52809 5 лет назад

I agree, it's an excellent handgun and you don't have to be a competitive shooter to appreciate it. I will admit that it took a while to get used to racking the narrow slide but I'm good with it now. I just had to figure out what works best for me.

@DerekMitchell 6 лет назад
