ASG CZ Shadow 2

[@brorjordas1979]

I believe Andy did not mention; It also has a small hex grub screw in the trigger, which limits the depth of the triggerpull (the "overtravel" if you will). A sweet little detail also, among others.. I just love this pistol. I truly waited lots for it to be released. Bought the airsoft version first, as the release of the 4.5mm airgun version took a bit of time for some reason. The only thing considered annoyingly plasticky, is the buttplate of the magazine, which can be felt as a bit loose on some magazines. Talking about ASG... Well then: definitely check out the new *ASG* *US-C* *1911* pistol! New mechanic stuff introduced there. Gas effiency with power - along with a short triggerpull finally introduced on a blowback pistol there!

I own the standard version of this gun and I have to say it's the most comfortable of the bunch. When it comes to ergonomy I've always been a 1911 guy. This one beats the 1911 regarding comfort by just a tiny bit. Fits like a glove. The one downside though is the the magazine BB slider. It is full plastic and will break quite easily if you let it snap back. So be very careful when loading your mag.

[@grauwulf1]

Having shot the real steel at the range the other day I was surprised when my friend showed me the BB version. There is literally no difference in weight, looks and function. The CZ are always very well engineered and the replica by ASG is no exception to this. Well done ASG and as always another cracking review by Andy

[@dragoclarke9497]

I've always looked down on BB guns because of the ricochet problem but with this CZ being accurate with the frangible rounds I can see it as a good indoor practice pistol. Time to save up again.

[@philipdorey4651]

Hello Andy, not everything you test is of particular interest to everyone BUT your reviews are always carried out in a formative and professional way. Thanks for your dedication.

[@axzyzzen]

With your precise, to-the-point content and fun presentation, this channel is a treasure. After 40 years of pause, I returned to airguns, and many things have changed. We have so many choices these days! Good, but it can also get quite confusing. That's where your brilliant content really helps. Subscribed

[@chrisnurczyk8239]

Nice to see good design & shooting details, and some mass and real metal in an air pistol. And to see such a handsome pistol that hasn't been "Hollywoodized" or "militarized" (stopped playing soldier when I was 10 yrs. old). Just a pleasing design w/form following function. Gee, ASG - how about a pellet version? Andy, thanks for another thoughtful, interesting review.

[@1teamasg]

Thanks Andy, another informative review! It's great to see you getting a hands on with one of our most popular airgun pistols. I am looking forward to seeing you get hold of more of our products going forward. If you're interested in getting some more 'exclusive' hands on with things, let me know. I can get Clark on the case for you 😉 -JB

[@tarmacdemon]

Good morning people . Nice peice of kit Yes I heard the buzzard

[@derekp2674]

Me too!

[@BedsitBob]

I have the original CZ75, and it's really nicely made. It's also the closest I could find to a Browning HP, which I wish they would make.

[@huaqero5458]

Definitely check the ASG CZ-P07 pistol. Equal realism, easy load of co2 and great accuracy. I manage to get coin-sized groups from 9 meters with the non-bb version. I love it! And its little 'striker' brother, the Bersa BP9cc.

[@derekcottiss9724]

These are really close to the real thing ,ideal for training . I have both

[@robertbainbridge-s2u]

dont think ive seen a co2 pistol with as much positive feed back as this one and for good reason,andys take is spot on ; i myself have pretty much examples of most current co2 rep pistols and this one exceeds all others in all dept, it is a fun pistol but it goes a little further in so far that if you want to hit a target more consistently it is more realistically achievable. and this is a big and is prone to less misfires which for any mag fed is always a nagging possibility and on some models destroys their appeal also a blockage will push worn seals over the edge and provoke leaks ! so dont be tempted to hope continuous cycling will remove blockage it will make it worse and possibly wreck seals. . .interestingly most mods from 01 to 02 are aesthetic so mags are compatible as is the slide although not quite the same fit....very underrated in my opinion.

[@brorjordas1979]

❤ the Shadow2!!!

[@richwhilecooper]

I have the shadow 2 and 1. I almost prefer the 1. But they are both excellent and have compatible mags

[@richardwhiteside7929]

Morning Andy, Great review.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

Bit low on the velocity front at under 300 FPS with steel BB 's.While it's not all about power power does affect accurate shooting at a distance and crawling projectiles are going to be dropping quickly.

Another informative review. Good morning, Friday and AAR viewers...later watching than usual...pesky work getting in the way.

[@swoop1352]

The only issue I've had with my Shadow 2 is if the seals go in the magazine it is completely impossible to buy a replacement. Oh they'll tell ya they can order one, they can even take your money.....but you ain't getting one. You have to pull a sneaky magazine swap instead...

[@philipheelham3061]

[@dentzw80]

New to this channel. Andy, I like the way you talk

[@SimplicityForGood]

what about the Orange that came this year? what are the differences? I wrote them and asked if they could make either a Pellet diabolo orange shadow 2 or a paintball Shadow 2 like the Umarex new Glock paintball pistol... and they actually directly replied me that they will have a discussion about this with the team in Denmark and will consider it.... but what to get for this year is my question? I either want a very precise pistol for dynamic shooting sport training at home with pellets that can mimic a real gun for quick reloads, , precise shooting at dynamic shooting targets etc or a paintball gun that one can mimic self defence scenarios with while training with other people with, so to do Krav Maga techniques and when freed to shoot draw a training gun like a paintball gun to fight off the perpetrators in such training scenarios for self defence with... what then to choose in mid 2023?

[@andrewjackson9417]

It's am airsoft gun modified to use 4.5 mm bbs. ASG have made the airsoft version for a few years. Have you ever seen hop up on an airgun? I have both version and they're identical. Which isn't a bad thing.

[@mrwick7961]

That's why they've got the CZ P-09 for. Damn great pellet pistol. Got a couple of them. But. Yeah. A pellet Shadow2 would still be way awesome.

[@daermon1000]

Great video as always Andy. I have two of these blowback bb pistols, the glock 17 gen 4 and the hk usp and both now jam up as soon as they've fired the first mag and the co2 presure drops slightly so wont be investing in any more of them sadly!

[@colmanscapers7498]

I have the same Glock as you and mine locked as well after a while. Turns out it was the magazine causing the problem. Unfortunately my Glock no longer stays open on last round now though.. Hey hi.

[@BoggWeasel]

Looks great.... as accurate as a shotgun in the review, maybe it's better when tweaked.? I don't expect super accuracy from a BB replica but some semblance of it (for me) is mandatory.

[@sean19]

Nice looking pistol

[@georgeaura]

I looked up the dust devil mk2 and apparently I have purchased them before and they still have the band around the bb

[@thehaze1972]

@13:00 Yes I can hear it :-)

[@Kittyland123]

Do you think this bb pistol is comparable to Umarex Beretta 92A1? Unfortunately, where I live in the US, the CZ Shadow 2 air pistol costs twice as much! Do you think it's worth it?

[@swoop1352]

Re: The safety. Load the mag, don't cock the hammer.....pull the trigger. The hammer will come back and the weapon will discharge. It's just a 6lb pull now, rather than a 2lb. The safety catch, as Andy says, only works when the hammer is cocked.....which is a flaw IMO.

I Have an Umerex Legends Luger PO8, and it's fantastic. As accurate in looks and feel as you could want, all metal construction, except for the plastic grips (real wooden Luger grips can be modified to fit it). It operates in the same way as the real thing, and is as close as you can get to owning the genuine item.

[@biggusdickus5986]

​@@jeffreybarton1297Lugers often had grips made of bakelite an early form of plastic, so having them on the Lugers is quite realistic in actual factuallity.

[@jeffreybarton1297]

@@biggusdickus5986 Yes, indeed 👍 I was commenting more on the all metal construction rather than the historical accuracy. I have a set of the wooden grips for mine, but I haven't fitted them yet. I don't know if I'll bother. It's not an easy task, as it requires carving away wood on the inside, to accommodate the bulge of the gas cylinder. The grips were made for a real Luger, rather than the CO2 one.

[@chrismclean2989]

The steels must cause more wear on the barrel 🤔… wonder if the “action air” bunch could put a red dot sight on the slide 🧐

Sorry I would not go for this at since it is jus BB gun bla .. make it pellet gun yes in both calibers , now your talken mate !

[@Gunsandjewels]

Now I have it several months and I begin to be disappointed. The accuracy is not good. Of course, maybe I m not good either. But I can shoot a beer can with Umarex Beretta M 9 from 20 meters and my results in the shooting center are not that bad (I shoot with 0.22 guns). But with this one I tried also short distances, like 6 meters and feels like Im blind. Or maybe I had just some bad days.

Is anyone here that owns this gun in 4,5mm (.177 cal.) and can check something: Does the Hop-Up actually work and is it adjustible? I heard that the 4,5mm Shadow 2 is basically the same as the 6mm but with kind of a smaller "inserted"inner barrel. Because of this, the inner Barrel is thicker and the bucking cannot even touch the BBs. Can anyone confirm this?

[@nomorewars1366]

When are these manufacturers going to make a pistol to the UK legal limit? Were just fobbed of with toys even though good fun they need to up there game. Good video as always keep them up.

[@anthonyprice5596]

Is there a pistol like that, that fires pellets without the blowback and is accurate. But not just 8 rounds the full 17? And metal and accurate? Or am I just dreaming? I like the idea of a more sophisticated gun like this but with a more accurate pellet firing mechanism and a rifled barrel. I have a SW m29 it's really quite good, but would like a larger shot count.

I had REALLY high hopes for the ASG CZ 75 and I thought to myself it this gun shoots as good as it looks I will purchase the Shadow 2. That was until the first time I shot it! Accuracy was absolute garbage for a $150 gun. After seeing your groups at 10 meters there is NO way I will spend $300 when I can purchase a Crosman for $50 and get that kind of accuracy!
