I am a woman with not a great deal of hand strength so I have a very difficult time with the slide and then locking into place because it takes both of my hands to hold it. I have both a smith and Wesson M&P 22 and a Ruger 380, both very easy to field strip and clean. My p365 is new to me and very frustrating to disassemble. Are there any tricks or do I just have to take it to the gun store when it needs to be cleaned?

Asked about ammo but you name the brands and all that ammo is known shit ammo aside from lawman. Capital cartridge is light loaded shit that I had a squib with, maxxtech or maxammo also trash. 1st round I never heard of southern munitions I never heard of. Frangible ammo has issues. Like why you running the gambit instead of just getting decent stuff like blazer brass?

Meh..personal opinion I suppose. Mounting screws shldnt matter, if you install them properly w/ removable loctite, mostly because you're going to be removing them on occasion to change a battery on most optics - & they likely won't line back up exactly afterwards. So that's kind of pointless. Oh, also --- regardless it looks like sh*t 🤣

200 rounds through my new CR920XP today and it was basically a bolt action pistol. Going to clean and lube then put another 200 through it. Will be sending it back if it continues.

Excellent instructions. Everyone needs to take example of how well you explain everything.

Excellent instructions. You have to be one of the best "teachers" I've seen. Detailed instructions.

I just bought the echolon 4.5F comp(ported barrel) and it's a total game changer. Where you will see the biggest difference is follow up shots. The Walther PDP grip fails to keep gun firmly planted while doing double taps, thus leading to gun and sights to move off Target. The ergo on echolon is by far superior to the PDP. I don't know how the non-ported echelon is but the ported version makes a gun that is seemingly very light yet very stable

Very detailed , clear and precise. For those doing educational 2A videos take not. Well done.

It’s called a gas pedal

Great video.

Just picked up my TTI combat. Love it, ran 2 full mags when I bought it. Ran a ton more when I picked it up.

Ran 500 rounds, not a single issue

Your wrong about co witnessing with stock sights on the pdp I rock a full size eps can can co witnesses with the stock sights fyi

Howard your instructional is awesome! . . . and you have very sexy hands too.

It’s odd the people that don’t like shadows, I won’t list my credentials (who cares honestly), but I own 3 and the all run flawlessly, and I promise I’m not one of the guys that just say this… I have thousands upon thousands of rounds through mine. That being said my model of this gun did have more hiccups through the break in period, but now it runs like a sewing machine not matter the ammo or grain

Man got a bolt action pistol lol

Perfect! Thanks very much.

Thanks for the honest review... very disheartening. I have the same opinion of Shadow Systems as I do Lexus or Acura... Built on the rock solid chassis of Toyota and Camry but upscaled with everything I'd want (vs. need). Hoping Shadow Systems goes wildly public concerning this issue and does a complete ReDux launch, their reputation really has too much to lose if they don't. As a Texan, if I can support my Lonestar "Kin" I do, as a Vet and American... Trifecta Kudos, but it has to be reliable. I was going to snag one and decided to watch a couple videos... glad I did, I was not expecting to see so many honest issues with it. Reminds me a bit of the S&W CSX (though that was overblown, and I love that micro!). Thanks again.

Few stove pipes on my CR920XP during the break-in period, using Federal 115 FMJ. After the 3rd mag I didn't have any issues and haven't had any since. SS says they need a break-in period because they make them with much tighter tolerances than a Glock, I don't know if that's true but here we are.

Where to buy you slide barrel ?

excellent explanation thx

Great

Just did my initial field strip and cleaning. It was difficult to retract the slide sufficiently on reassembly to lock it back. Took some effort - presumably just needs to break in. Fyu.

Thank you for putting together this great video. My wife just received a S&W Bodyguard 2.0 and this video will be great for her to learn how field strip it.

I had a DR920 for about two months. I had issues with the trigger resetting whether it was the ss trigger assembly or an apex, they both would not reset reliably. I sent it back to shadow systems and they told me the slide was out of spec. They replaced the whole slide and it still had issues resetting the trigger. I went through the break in process again and the pistol had over a 1200 rounds on it and the trigger still would not reset reliably. I eneded up just selling it to get rid of the problem.

Did you try a OEM Glock Mag? Fiocchi didnt work either? That's the ammo i use. I wouldve just sent it back and got another one.

I’ve really been looking into the gun as my next edc as well but I’ve came across 3 videos on the cr920p having the same issue already. Looking forward to the update because I definitely want this gun. Hoping it comes back and works flawlessly to ease my mind

Is this a registered firearm ?

Mine ran perfectly...... but l only run 124 gr. my only issue is with the heavy feeling trigger pull. I'm affecting my sight picture. I dont think the trigger pull should be so heavy. You should have a resolution within 30 days.

I have a Cr920p bronze barrel finish, and it has worked flawlessly the past 400 rounds of the "break-in" period. It is however 1 sample size to your 1 sample size. Same goes for that Taran Tactical Canik TTI everyone was raving about, when i had a buddy who bought it but had to send it in since it continuously jammed on him once a magazine regardless of the magazines used. Again, a sample size of 1 with glowing reviews all over youtube.

These videos are hilarious. My CR929XP just hit 2,600 rounds. Not one malfunction of any kind. It ate five different brands, four different brains, and a mix of FMJ and JHP. It performed absolutely flawlessly. I will trust my life to it as I would any if my other tried a true firearms. Most of the time people have issues with comped pistols it’s because they dint listen or read how to grate it and what to feed it. Plain and simple.

For $900+ tax, this should run flawlessly.

you using underpowered ammo you have to use nato spec so white box or federal american eagle. fiocchi , s&b and blazer are underloaded and dont work with comps.

I had 2, a full size 17 type, and 19 type. Neither were worth their cost. Sold them, thankfully didn’t lose money and never once regretted it. Shadow Systems is all hype. You can put into a Glock, M&P, Canik the same amount of money and have a drastically better gun.

Thank you for this! Your video is very helpful!

Send it back to Shadow Systems

I was actually going to order one of these. After watching videos, reading forums, reading comments, F-K no to rolling the dice on a POS. Oh you just gotta shoot 200 rounds, send it back 3 times, oh you need to rub tussin on it, and etc. They look cool I’ll give them that. I’ll take a rusty P365 over it any day. Thanks for the review.

Just get a Hellcat

Glad I was not alone with changing mine. I appreciate the comments. 😊

I have the first cr920P. And after the first two mags has yet to have anotber hiccup on well over 1K rounds. Even with my softer handloads. Seems hit or miss.

Damn brother! I understand completely!

Websites for wedges?

well explain thank you

I picked up a CR920XP last week. I shot 300 rounds through it, fully expecting problems in the first couple of magazines, but it actually ran flawless... not a single hiccup! I also have a MR920 that has been flawless. My original CR920 had some cycling problems early on with the 13 round magazine, but runs great now after more break-in. It now has 1,000 rounds through it and it runs great.

I can tell you right now your issue is your right side optic screw is hitting the extractor plunger.

Guys stop being cheap and break it in with 147 gr. Then move to 124 then 115. I wouldn’t go any less than 115. The fact you’re trying 65 grain on a new comp gun tells me what I need to know.

Smaller is not always better, I worked in a gun shop a while back and every woman that ever bought a pink or purple gun that was crazy sub compact usually brought it back a month later and complained about the recoil or snap in their wrist. I’m 5 foot 9 inches and 180 pounds I carry a Glock 22 concealed no problem. I’ve even carried an m17 the same way, both with a holster or even just tucked in my belt and inside of my pants. I’m not a fan of tiny pistols, Glock 19 is the smallest I’d ever go but that’s just me, and everyone’s different…

And this is one of many reasons to own a Glock Pistol, reliability.

Thanks for posting this vital information, you prevented a lot of people from buying shadow systems BS

people should put anti seize on this right out the box.... like Glock does. This firearm ain't for me either. f' that 200 break in bull crap. They should at lease give you 200 rounds or so drop the price.
