Glock Killer? | Shadow Systems XR920

[@Adam-vu6ql]

Skimmed right over the guns biggest feature. Shadow systems got the best optics cut in the game right now.

[@billsrcadventures8806]

Correct. This is what separates the Shadow System guns from everything else

[@michaelhelman6631]

This. This is the sole reason I switched from Glock. The optic system is the best on the market.

[@yukonjack.]

Huh I wonder why Chad had a problem with it then? It didn't seem to be accurate unless I missed something.

[@hothmobile100]

But wouldn't it better to buy a CZ p10C or F and then have it professionally cut for optics? It would still be cheaper and probably a more robust/better gun in the end.

[@dridex223]

@@hothmobile100i just bought an MR920 for $500, you can find them cheap if you look. the optic system is already a direct mount/milled system stock on the firearm. no point in spend $200+ and having a useless firearm for a couple weeks when it’s the standard for shadow systems.

[@a.juarez9770]

The optic cut is universal and fits almost all different red dots without using plates, much better than the Glock MOS. I really enjoy my DR920.

[@Gatsquatch.300]

you get the war poet? love that gun

[@a.juarez9770]

No, unfortunately not. Nonetheless it’s a good looking gun and it performs fantastic. Have used it for USPSA matches without any issues.

[@jessicarogers4850]

Yep,I have the cr920 and it's the best pistol I've ever had out of 7. The mags eject really well, good trigger and the Red dot mounts directly to the slide and you can cowitness with regular sights. Guns and Ammo did a test and really tried to make it malfunction with different grain and type of ammo in the same mag. They eventually got it to malfunction once and could not get it to repeat any malfunction. The one that did, they were barely holding the gun. So I really like mine.

[@braverifle1834]

I wish you read the manual before giving out a review. Its not a MOS system you need no plates and its universal with the spacers it comes with. And the back straps changes the angle of how you point the gun when you aim. Not like glock that just add bulk for no reason. The only thing I give you is that the pmag do actually suck go oem and youll be fine.

[@Zep167]

Shadow systems are awesome. Truth is, they exist because Glock won't do what Sig does. Take a great platform and make it better, IE triggers, magwells, slides, barrells, etc. Glock would increase their market share SIGNIFICANTLY if they would just offer their products with the upgrades todays shooter wants. IMHO...

[@GTGibbs]

Good point. Agreed, but they are still the most popular 9mm’s. And even overall most common and popular handguns period.

[@chrism2042]

Exactly, they are falling behind. Fan boys get pissed about it, but it's true. Glock came up with the most innovative pistol, yes others did copy the concept but some are making it better, while Glock refuses to make the pistol better and just selling based on the name alone. Just like Armalite designed the proven AR platform, then sold it to Colt. When others started manufacturing the AR15, they made them better. Decades later, very few people look for Colt when they are shopping for AR's. I have M&P's with several thousand rounds of steel case ammo through them, no issues. I have a G19 that stopped and needed parts replaced around 400 rounds, a $0.02 plastic part stopped so-called perfection.

[@heartandmindovercome3214]

Yeah man good point

[@chrism2042]

@@GTGibbs - For now, just like Colt was the most popular rifle sold for decades, see where Colt is now in the AR market. Glocks are great pistols, I have owned Glocks since the early 90's. But when people have the option for a more comfortable pistol with better triggers, more factory options and just as reliable as the Glock, Glock will fall behind in the market.

Glock doesn't need to innovate because what they offer has worked for millions across the globe for decades. Simplicity and reliability go a long way.

I recently purchased the XR920 elite, and the MR920L. Shadow Systems recommends a break in period of up to 200 rounds as the tolerances of the gun are very tight, and it needs time to break in. I ran 150 rounds through them (combined), and had 2 failure to feeds with the MR920L, but no failures with the XR920. My ammo used is Blazer 115 grain brass case ammo. I am a HUGE fan of these guns.

[@gastondraco5906]

lol break in lol that’s their excuse for it’s gonna jam Glock doesn’t have that issue or at least I’ve never had it been running Glock’s since 1993

[@kcjones_ddd]

@@gastondraco5906 then, don’t buy one. No one will care either way. Both of mine run flawlessly after a very short break in period. I’ve had a total of 3 failures to feed through about 600 rounds. My Glock 23 had approximately 5 failures to feed during its break in period. I was using expensive ammo as well.

[@Mark-sn6kh]

@@gastondraco5906 the tolerances in the shadow systems are a lot smaller than Glock. It's mainly where the barrel and frame meet up. Shadow systems could increase tolerances to do away with break in, but at the cost of accuracy. This is well documented with the SS guns.

[@Baruch-Hashem]

Not an MOS, the screws go deeper and no plate is needed, so you can co-witness more easily. I know you may love it more with experience. I have both, the rear sight alone give you a larger grip. Thanks for your initial impressions. The magpul mags have never failed me? I prefer the glock mags as they give me more confidence with the steel lighners. But I have both and have yet to have any failures, but I use brass ammo. The trigger reset is faster than my Glock. the rear angle change for me lets the 920 point more like a 1911, again a matter of tast. Thank You.

[@americanguns6732]

Hey Chad, thank you for the informative and entertaining videos as well as your years of service to this awesome country that I love. This is not to be a “know it all” by any means, im sure that under stress, you shoot far better then I do, and overall your knowledge in the areas of firearms and tactics is 1000x that of mine. I am however a certified (NRA) pistol instructor and I do have a lot of experience with both glocks and shadow systems pistols As an early adopter of the shadow systems platform (MR920 in March 2020 was my first shadow) i do know a lot about their design and I wanted to supplement all that you have offered with a little bit of knowledge that i have acquired about these SS pistols. Mainly the red dot mount, is not at all a standard MOS mount. As you know the MOS system requires different plates to attach different optics and inherently this design, coupled with the extractor plunger and spring, require the mounting screws on a MOS pistol be very short screws and this also results in a dot that sits kinda high on the gun. This SS design will allow for direct mounting of many of the dots on the market today with out mounting plates and by the fact that they have modified the extractor plunger system, the mounting screws go almost to the bottom of the slide. The result here is a connection so strong that you could drive nails with your red dot, and a dot that sits much lower on the pistol giving the user a better sight picture and a co witness with iron sights that are only slightly taller than standard sights. This also means that holster selection is made easier in that suppressor sights are not needed for a co witness as they usually are with most mounting systems I wont go on and on other than to say that the mag situation is what it is. SS has developed their own mag for the new sub compact pistol, and it is a metal mag. Not sure what this will mean in the future for the standard double stack 9mm mags from SS but they are now manufacturing magazines. I have not experienced much trouble from the magpul mags but i will say i dont run very much steel ammo. I do like the fact that the magpul mags have a thicker baseplate allowing for easier removal of the magazine when the magwell is installed on the pistol in terms of a type 3 malfunction etc. A standard glock mag will almost be impossible to remove from the gun when the magwell is installed if the gun binds itself up during a malfunction. Also the mag release button has been slightly enlarged but its so slight, many don’t even notice but its a nice future. I happen to like the serrations on the slide but to each his own, I totally agree with your assessment on the front (forward) serrations. Anyway thank you for all you do, have done, and continue to do for us, our country, the 2A community and all of us believers in Christ. He is the most important thing always and your faith in Him is really what brings me to your videos more than any other thing, all of which are great and you talk about many topics that are interesting to me but none more than the Faith. God bless you, your family, your viewers, and staff that helps bring these videos to us all. God bless this great country and all of the people around the globe. Thank you Chad!

Lol so u bought a SS and then replaced the trigger on it anyways, which is one of the main reasons Glock haters say not to get a Glock. That’s why I can’t even take Glock haters serious. Not saying you are one Victor, but if the SS trigger was soooo much better than Glock then why bother replacing it. That’s why I stick with Glock. Let’s see if SS has a proven track record with LE and military use in 30 years.

I have a new XR920 with a Holosun 570 sight. SS warns that due to the extremely tight tolerances in the gun, it may need 200 rounds to break it in. I have run 170 rounds through it so far with no issues whatsoever. I did have challenges zeroing the red dot, as it was shooting a foot low and 7 inches left out of the box. I also have a Glock 19 Gen 3 with some mods (sights, barrel, stippling). It has a Timney trigger, which is a game changer for me. I’m going to give the XR920 1000 rounds and evaluate before considering installing the Timney.

Great review, thank you. I own the XR & MR, and can confirm the co-witness ability with a RMR/RDS due to the unique mounting cuts SS has. If you have an RMR cut optic, or event the more popular RDS' - you won't need a mounting plate. To me, the mag release is a bit "anemic," & empty mags don't eject cleanly all the time so I swapped them out. Idk if I got lucky, or what, but both of mine came with 3 mags & a case with a 5 mag holder.

And can someone explain why he says never operate the weapon from the front? I like to press check for reasons, and also not to bump the optic if it’s one on the gun.

The optic cut is one of the best features over Glock MOS system. It fits a lot of the common optics directly without the need of a mouting plate. Screws are bigger and longer.

IMO shadow systems is a fun range gun but not one you want to risk your life with carrying on person daily. I had nothing but problems out of the mr920 elite. So far, my Glock 19 has been flawless.

[@natehomayouni1020]

"The texture on the back of the slide sucks" lol. I'm sticking with my 19x man.

[@SHOOTERS_G.n.B]

Wassup…dope review and what I like the most…it’s not biased it’s honest!!!

[@kevf500]

My favorite hand gun is DR920 , been shooting for 40 years gone through a bunch of handguns looking for one that was perfect , the DR920 is as close to that as possible

[@chrism2042]

Just send 1 Pmag with the pistols, keep if for training to help work through malfunctions. Buy Glock factory mags and run it. I purchased 1 pmag for G19 just to try it, problem after problem while all the factory glock mags just work.

[@terryholloway9930]

Honest Outlaw loves that gun he competes with it they are pricey why spend money to fix something that should be made that way great review

[@rogercrouch5866]

Really appreciate you ! And respect your opinion and information.

[@CarbonGlassMan]

You're the first person I've seen that agrees with me on front slide serrations. At least in agreement that they're stupid. I always thought shooters, especially new shooters, should not get in the habit of sticking their hand on the front of the slide near the muzzle. First, why would you need to do that and second, someone is going to poke a hole in their hand because they're not experienced enough to keep their finger off the trigger. I don't think they look cool though. I think they make the gun look like a toy. Anyway, I just bought another Glock and I was shown the Shadow Systems pistol. The guy in the store was telling me the SS Glock copy was far better. I thought it was ok. Certainly not that great. I am one of the few that loves factory Glock sights. That white U for the rear is the best rear sight design I've ever seen. Maybe making them metal and adding tritium would be an upgrade.

Hi Chad, why the handle 3 of 7 project? Just curious. Truly enjoy your down to earth, no BS vidios. God bless.

[@bobbys4327]

because 6 of 9 was already taken and looks much hotter............although I am sure she cannot shot as well.....lol

[@fareedingram4626]

@ Chad .. I’m trying to lose 25lbs an get ripped .. I hate weights .. can run 3mi & do at least 200 jumping jacks unbroken .. Can you help

[@cantstartafire]

Looks cool but..... Mine is completely unreliable. The feed ramp on the fancy barrel isn't worth a damn. I've swapped barrels and it works ok but... I don't trust this gun at all. In fact, I need to put that damn thing on gun broker, this was a good reminder.

[@one-of-us9939]

Thanks brother

[@benjaminreid7054]

Chad and chili show, where is it? I want more!

[@shaunlogan6543]

Yea I agree about the PMags.. you’re paying premium prices for the gun itself yet we get the equivalent of ETS mags… it’s terrible.. what’s really crazy is they made the CR920 (Glock 43 clone) and made their own metal mags for that! So they absolutely can make their own mags…

[@Catgat37]

Pretty sure unless Glock makes a deal with them, they could not ship them with OEM Glock mags. I just bought a DR920 foundation model on sale for $530 at local shop. Immediately sold the pmags back to guy at the gun shop, and bought some extra Glock mags. I ran 3 different kinds of ammo that certain people claimed the ss don't like. 300 rounds hard and fast without reoiling. Gun ran like a top.

[@WestBeachFLboy]

So Glock 19x has better slide serrations, about the same trigger, better sights out of the box with 3 dot night sights, better mags. Only thing SS has over it is the grip and option to add a dot, but Glock is coming out with an MOS 19x anyways soon. Glock is also cheaper off the shelf, yeah I’ll stick with the Glock.

[@dawwlo]

... And 19x is 100% reliable out of the box, while being packed with 3 glock factory mags! If any one can notice the "difference" in grip angle, when shooting side by side, is simply full of shit! Put the johnny glock's oem trigger shoe and that is all you need, if prefered❤ if you need a red dot on a carry/home defense gun, it is better to have some security arround and leave the fight to them.

[@Detman329]

I don’t know!! 🤔🤔 I don’t own one of those, but plenty folks I know do ,no issues with P-mags with hundreds of rounds in them.

[@dogbittenouch]

Shadow systems has the upgrades you would do right off the shelf. What's the fun in that? I love tricking em out. Love 80%s. Make em my way from the get go. JMOFO.

[@littlemac844]

How does 3 of 7 feel about Red Dots? In my experience, it's difficult to transition from iron to Red Dot. Plus, I love the true reviews, instead of trying to sell a product.

[@grantharris2522]

Pmags are better than Glock mags. Lol. Stop running steal 🥴🥴🥴 killed the video.

[@007NunyaBizNess]

Have you tried the Lone Wolf Dusk or Timber Wolf lowers? If so, do you think it reduces reliability? I like the more 1911 grip.

[@ShorePatrol762]

I have a Shadow Systems DR920, (G17) MOS model.

[@jhost0311]

Have they improved the slide grip texture?

[@wouty6066]

Hello, This gun looks more snappy than the glock 19x! I would prefere the glock 19x. Greetings from Switzerland!

[@brianfrantz836]

DR920 still my favorite pistol.

[@heeebeeegeeebeee]

I’ve worked with the DR 920. The main advantage is the much superior optic mounting system and the grip’s modularity. Other than that it operates just like a Glock. If you’re an irons shooter, I’d skip this gun. If you’re an optics shooter, this is a serious gun to take a look at.

[@billybritt5334]

I own the g45 mos and my shooting has never been better I shoot 25 feet to 50 yards and am killing it

[@tym3kill3r33]

You did a review on the Glock 19X a while back. What holster do you run and what weapon light?

[@dougersonify]

Sheen, This is the 40th Glock killer in 20 years.

What do you think about the Canik TP nine elite combat?
