CZ Shadow2 vs Tanfoglio Stock2 Extreme 

I shot both back then and got the Tanfoglio. Better feeling, way better grouping in IPSC training, probably the bull barrel not sure.

I got a GIRSAN REGARD MC (beretta 92 clone) about a month ago and just shoot it with a buddy of mine who has a CZ Shadow 2 blue. The only thing I did to it was the Beretta D spring swap. Comes with 18 round mag, got another with base plate extension for plus 2 (so 20 rounds). By his own words on how he would rate it Girsan. He said the Shadow 2 would be a 10, and the Girsan with just the D spring swap is a 9.5 on a rating scale. He was impressed with the feel, shootability, and specially the price (only 1/3 to 1/4 the cost of the shadow 2). He is now considering selling the Shadow 2 and getting a Girsan Regard mc Gen4. I love CZs too. Carried a Cajinized P01 for years. The Girsan Brand is worth a try, so rent one if you can and see how you like it.

My Tanfoglio Defiant Limited Master has very very little take up. Less so than my shadow 2 does and much less than the Stock 2 here. I’ve debated on upgrading the trigger, but I love even the stock one

The Shadow 2 is dead sexy, had to buy 2 so could keep one a safe queen

I’ve just tried both side by side, and with small hands (like 7.5”) the slimmer Tanfoglio frame makes all the difference, to my slight dismay - I was so into the CZ... With a good grip the CZ pointed 20 degrees to the right, but the Tanfo dead straight. So a Tanfo it’ll be - great guns both of them though.

I have both gun and went with Tanfoglio for IPSC production

the Shadow's rear sight is adjustable for windage by loosening the screws and drifting it . Not as easy as the Tanfo but still adjustable.

you can really see how much more refined the shadow 2 is. Love my S2 SAO

Nice comparison. Just completed trigger jobs on both my optic ready Shadow 2’s. Pretty amazing D/A S/A now.

thanks for this video i picked shadow 2, epic pistol

Have the shadow 2 but wanting the tanfo so bad. Grass is always greener on the other side. Nice review liked!

I shoot open with a 2011 so this is irrelevant to me :P But i am looking at getting a Stock 2 for fun... I have had them both in my hand and shot them and the stock 2 just fits my hand much better and looks way better in my opinion. Great review lads :D

I have 14 CZs, Shadow 2 being one of them. I have a Tanfoglio as well and a 38 super. I have to say, I like my CZ Shadow 2 more then the others, but not to the point the Tanfoglios are not a good gun. They are all amazing and love shooting them all. Nice video

I wish they made the Shadow in 10mm.

Shadow 2 for me all day~ Tangfo's are really nice too! Can't go wrong with either choice~

I think it would have been a better comparison to the stock 3 extreme

Also CZ has .22 Kadet conversion so that is a plus.

Great video guys!

Very good review I have been debating between getting one of these guns now I know what I would like better.

Fun fact is, that these guns are both basically CZ75. CZ is original, Tanfoglio is italian variant of the same. Tanfoglio copied CZ design long time ago, as CZ 75 had not been patented worldwide, therefore heavily copied.

Nothing like the real thing . Shadow 2 for me !

sharing this, good stuff

I think you should look on the website as your stock II extreme is has all the extreme parts on that gun: bull barrel, the firing pin, the trigger, the sights, the handgrips, has multiple magazines, that come with The aluminum base pads on that stuff adds up to a lot more money

nice video. thank you

I see why your comparing them but the shadow's lack of a firing pin block is the selling point for me. You can make it to have a trigger with almost no takeup.

Tanfoglio Stock 3 is Cz shadow 2

dobra robota!

Do you prefer the extended safety on the Shadow 2, to the smaller one that comes on the gun? I just bought a black and blue Shadow 2 yesterday, and I'm not sure if I want to try the extended safety. I had a Shadow 2 a few years ago and I loved it, but I never did try the extended safety. It looks kind of hard to install. Edit: Sorry, I just saw that you answered that question at 1:38

Hi thank you very much indeed for the very interesting video. I wonder if the thicker/flared barrel of the Stock 2 Extreme ( 7:09 ) can indeed provide a higher accuracy compared to a more standard barrel or it is just a marketing issue.

Is it possible to add a red dot of some kind to the stock 2 extreme

tanfo the best

Great review!

I once owned the first tanfoglio limited SC. I sold it and bought The CZ spo1 shadow. I modified it myself with the aftermarket parts. It’s like having orgasm while shooting. Tanfo is just for the bling , CZ especially the Shadow 2 is the real deal for me.

Very nice video! I am gonna sell my Shadow 1 while I wait for a shadow 2 to be available. Will the shadow 2 take the same magazines as the shadow1?

Two awesome pistols. I subscribed.

Help Me Here Is He Saying That The (Tanfoglio) Is Single Action ???? @ 0:14

Shadow 2 no question

I had both and I like the Tanfo better

Tanfoglio had the better barrel

Ci puoi spiegare come si regola il pulsante dello sgancio del caricatore?

Two of the pistol I have been looking to buy for too long now, are the mags interchangeable ?? Thanx for the great vid Cheers

So which one is better for large hands? Which has the trigger farther away, especially in single action? I think sideways I can go for thicker grips. I've shot the Shadow 2 once, a few months ago and if I remember correctly, it felt too slim in my hands. I wish there were a 2011 style gun for production...

great info

Can the slide lock/release lever be placed on the right side of the gun?

Are you a lefty...... the struggle is real...... but not to hard to adapt

Thanks for the comparison. Can the Stock2 use CZ magazines or is this a "large" frame?

Shadow 2 👍👍👍

Are you recording this at a gun range? The gunshots in the background bother me.

I can't seem to find a Shadow 2 anywhere.

what kind target precision s2 got vs older cz75 ts ?

Where are you located, do,you have access to CZ custom guns, how would you rate the trigge run comparison?

hey I´m running a Stock 2 large frame from production...... I am RO too and I thought i couldn't change the safeties on my gun....... is it still production legal?!?!?!?!??!!?

ever try a pardini gt9??

Cual es mejor?

good

Does the CZ Shadow 2 fit in the production box with the 19 round mecgar mags? Thank you

Hm. Já jen, že tangfolio je vobšlohnutá pětasedma. Dtto sphinx, etc...

Is that rust in the backstrap checkering of the tanfoglio?

What's the price difference.

Naive but legitimate question, how are the gun laws in your home countries? Sounds like New Zealand? Different than Aussie obviously.

1:35 if you'd like to know how to upgrade that safety I made a quick howto, find it at my channel.

Was that a black nitride or polycoat shadow 2?

Hello, ist SINGLE ACTION as you say in 0:17 around, not forbitten in the Production Class of IPSC? "Only handguns listed as approved on the IPSC website may be used in Production Division. Note that handguns deemed by IPSC to be single-action-only are expressly prohibited. The official IPSC protocol used to measure barrel length is described in Appendix E4b. "

single action is not allowed in Production.........

Tanfoglio or SZ Shadow 2 ?????

Was that a large or small frame stock 2?

What are the trigger pull weights of each, recoil differences and accuracy?

Do you live in NZ?

Do you know any way to reduce the Shadow 2 weight below 1300g? I need to get rid of 30g

🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍

What’s the cost difference?

Is it possible to change the sights on the Shadow 2? I heard the front fiber optic is a little hard to see after CZ reduced its size from 2mm to 1mm.

Tanfoglio what is under a licensure agreement with CZ because CZ was taxed highly due to it being a communist country , after they folded and became a capitalist country Tanfoglio did their own thing because they didn’t have to work with CZ any longer and then CZ is able to bring the guns all over the place, At a competitive price. In my opinion tang fog Leo is geared more towards competition is they offer many different versions of their guns CZ is somewhat limited when it comes to their competition stuff.

Dang metric info ughh

Being Bling

Oh, and sell me your nitride shadow please
