Best NEW Carry Pistol? Shadow Systems CR920XP Review

[@BigIronAnge]

Took mine to the range for the first time and had the same experience, first mag was all stove pipes then ran flawlessly for 300 rounds. Feels like shooting a full size gun in a slim light package. Definitely going to replace my 43x as my daily carry.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Yes it does and it’s going to replace and has replaced my CR920X

[@dadrionrichardson530]

I don’t get it. Please explain to me the craze behind this sized pistol. I’m no expert but when I think of a carry pistol I’m thinking something that’s small enough to be comfortable to carry all day. It seems like the most popular pistols for carry now are basically sub-compacts that have been made basically the size of a full sized pistol. Why even make subcompacts anymore if all of them are the size of a Glock 19or17 now? Just produce full sized guns with skinny frames.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

@dadrionrichardson530 well that’s what they are. Compact guns with a slim frame. This gun is lengths wise the same as a G19 but much slimmer, lighter and shoots flatter.

[@MotoNoir86]

@@dadrionrichardson530bingo. Like watching all the P365 guys go from saying the original is perfect, then replace it with the next 365 iteration that comes out, and now they’re back to a slim full size gun again. It’s like everyone got bored with their G19 and has gone on a 5 year mission of buying guns to return where they started

[@TheBlazewizard]

I had the same issues. First 3 mags mostly stovepipes then cleared up on the 4th. Haven’t had any issues since - currently at about 300 rounds. I did bench it and the sights are off. Consistently high at 10 yards with the irons. I wonder if anyone else had this experience. Installing an optic this week and hoping to dial it in.

[@josephtucciarone6878]

With my smaller hands 5'6", I think the CR920P may be the best carry gun. Thank you for your review & comparison of the Shadow comped compared to non-comped guns.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Thanks for watching!

[@andrewmichelson6089]

Got mine in and put first 600 rounds through. 115, 124, 147s all different manufacturers. Ran like a champ. No issues what so ever. Didn’t lube it either. Just used what came from the factory. The mag dumps are so simple to control. This is a phenomenal pistol.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Hell yeah! It’s damn good indeed!

[@solonrosenblatt6763]

I absolutely love my CR920XP Elite Compensator. I had the Sig365 macro comp and there is no comparison! The shadow wins hands down!

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

🙌🙌🙌

[@mdx9286]

Great review. I picked up a CR920XP as well. It burned through the 124 and 147 grain FMJ and Federal HST without issue. Out of the box, I noticed it had a much heavier spring. Having also owned and sold the G43x & G48, there is no comparison to the CR920XP. Additionally, I did a size comparison between the CR920XP and MR920XP. There's a noticeable difference in the width, length, and weight when considering IWB carry options. Shadow Systems has a home run with this one.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

You are right no comparison! this thing carries so well and shoots perfectly

[@Lot-O-Guns]

Glad to hear you had no issues with 147gr as I heard someone complain about theirs being picky, I typically run 135/147 but might switch to 124 +p for this gun

[@matthewkotin4493]

Did you need any adapter, spacer, different plate to mount the eps optics or was it a clean fit?

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

The only time you need a special spacer for the EPS optic is on the full size guns, not the CR series.

[@matthewsopko8101]

when did you start making videos??! You put me on the path to eventually getting an MR920 Elite and I have nothing bad to say about it.... It is amazing. Glad to see that you're keeping up witth the videos sir

[@True_Patriotx]

I have heard other people say if you dry fire Shadow Systems guns a lot when they are brand new before you shoot them you won’t have any issues.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Maybe that’s it for me, I didn’t dry fire this one at all for the video.

[@CptFUNK1]

I basically sped run through this process by dry firing and fully cycling the slide 200 times before hitting the range. I didn't have a single hiccup with my CR920 on the range.

[@BhobsonKatie]

Also, yes, FYI, had a couple stove pipes After the second magazine only had one third magazine and thereafter no problem. Whatsoever ran smooth great grip on the pistol that little pinky flare at the end really does make it feel like a good fit in your hand.

[@DesertDuc]

I have 3 Shadow Systems guns currently, an XR920 Foundation, MR920 Combat, and CR920 Elite. Each one in turn has proven itself to be reliable as well as high performance, and the few times I've dealt with their customer service I have come away very happy (no major issues, but SS went above and beyond every time). I can't wait to add one of these to my collection.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

That is great to hear and you will love it

[@Knowledgetransferable]

[@dustyd6617]

Mine did the same thing with the first 6 mags. I installed a Glock 48 oem recoil spring and its been flawless since. The factory SS recoil spring just felt rough. It really is a flat shooter. Much more than I expected.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

I agree, it is flatter than I expected as well!

[@Tusk_Tact]

Shadow came out to NAAGA National Summit a few backs back in Dallas. They let me shoot this gun. I was sold. They also told me there will be extended 18rnd mags by EOY

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

[@pops.davis85]

Great review as always. Definitely considering one.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Thank you!

[@pops.davis85]

@ I know they’re different sizes but how would you say the CR920XP shoots compared to the bigger S&W Metal Carry Comp (I have one and love its low recoil shooting experience.)? With the CR920XP having a polymer frame is the recoil more than the Metal Frame Carry Comp? I know you’ve shot both.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

@pops.davis85 well if you want a carry gun, no question I would pick the CR920XP. I think the two shoot nearly the same as for being flat with recoil. However for a range gun or fun to shoot I would pick the SW Carry Comp

[@pops.davis85]

Thank you for reviewing the CR920XP. I have it and it shoots amazing like you stated. Can't wait for the 18 round mags to come out. Waiting for your S&W shield comp vs CR920XP.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Shield Comp vs the CR920XP likely won’t happen for a while if at all due to some mismatches and difficulty getting one but it’s on the table for now!

[@GTFDN]

Just took mine too the range ! Fired spear gold dots +p for the first mag no issues then shot mag tech steel case 115gr and had jam failure to extract or stove pipes or double feeds literally almost every round but the manufacturer literally says there is a break in period so I followed through I had to strip the magazine many times but I ran that thing non stop for 300 rounds couldn’t even touch the slide I literally dunked it in a pond too cool it off but the last 50 rounds zero issues and shoots super flat and very nice ! Once the gun is broken it the gun shoots really good it was worth the frustration for the first 200 rounds one magazine locks back and the other doesn’t no biggie I’ll continue to beat this things ass to make sure it’s reliable ! But it does shoot good but I did also get a lot of slide bite unfortunately but loosened my grip up and lowered it down some and then no issues

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Thanks for sharing! I wouldn’t recommend any steel case pistol ammo for what it’s worth in any pistol. Steel case pistol ammo is often out of spec and has poor tolerances which lead to issues like this. Some times the 1-2 bucks you save per box isn’t worth it. Glad to hear it’s running good now! Love mine!

[@GTFDN]

@@HuntFishShootChannel it was magtech steel case so probably the best of the steel case variants but I agree better ammo would definitely make it perform better!

Please make a MR920P vs. CR920XP vs. M&P carry comp video 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@terrarecon]

@@HuntFishShootChannel The M&P Carry Comp with the polymer frame is. The metal version is def full size.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

That carry comp with the polymer frame is larger in every dimension, like an MR920P. Now if you were to compare the Shield Carry Comp, that’s similar

[@terrarecon]

@@HuntFishShootChannel You are absolutely correct. And the CR920XP is bigger in every dimension than the Shield Plus Carry Comp. Competitor's competing models are rarely going to be exact. You can always do a comparison of the CR920XP against both since it is pretty much in the middle dimensionally.

Similar experience with my MR920. First few mags was a total s**t show. Has run flawlessly since, even with the Magpul mags. The MR920 has made me a much better shooter. I shoot it exponentially better that any of my other polymer frame pistols, even though I have the least amount of time on it. I'm going to have to give one of these a try.

[@Shanbadagang]

Which is flatter shooting in your opinion mr920p or cr920xp? I’m thinking of getting one for carry soon

[@Stanny936]

MR920P for sure. But my CR920P is almost as good. The size difference is what does it for me

[@TheWanderer377]

I have both the cr920xp and mr920p, bought both at the same time and took them to the range at the same time to shoot back to back. In short cr shoots nice and better than any subcompact I have shot, I carry a g43x and have shot p365s. Now to give my opinion you still hit the argument that the width of the mr920p gives it a better shooting experience in my opinion BUT if the mission is conceal-ability then the cr920xp is a great choice.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

The MR920P definitely shoots flatter but I can tell you the CR920XP carries much easier and shoots like an MR920 or flatter. Not at P level but it’s pretty incredible. I started person carrying it immediately after shooting 600 rounds through it

[@oneshoeless]

Been hoping to see one in a store. So far no luck. I will say that my other SS trigger started out at about 5.5#s and after a bunch of rounds it is leveled out at about 4.5#s. It is very smooth.

[@thefrogking481]

I own two Shadow pistols. They have been as close to perfect ( for this type of pistol) as I could ask for. Coming from 1911/2011 pistols, the trigger was abysmal to me. Training with the substandard striker design was a task that I managed. I shoot them well now. My only complaint (trigger related) is that because of the Shadow designed extractor plunger after marker firing pin assemblies don't work unless you buy the pieces individually. I personally like Johnny Glock triggers ( to each his own) and the 4311 system doesn't completely fit into Shadow CR's because of the firing pin/extractor interface. Until I can buy a designed, complete trigger system from JG for the CR, I'll have to stick with my crusty old 43x MOS. Would I buy Trevor's new pistol if Johnny made a drop in 4311 trigger kit for it ? Yes, I'd buy it today. I appreciate the seemingly "non biased" review, good content as usual.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Thank you and much appreciated! What’s nice is how many options are out there. For instance, I love this pistol and carry it now but if this Macro build with the Radian Comp shoots better when I get to it, I’ll like it more!

I agree with your assessment except for the trigger. My CR920XP has a hot garbage trigger. After 1500 rds the trigger smoothed out a little but it still felt like a 43x trigger. Replaced it with the RAMM Tactical trigger. Night and day difference.

[@kenjihiten4865]

just got mine last week, i had two failure to feed on the 2nd round but after that hasn't been any problems with me. i shoot the original cr920 a lot so i can feel a difference in the felt recoil there, but i really feel the difference when shooting single handed. first hundred rounds on range dynamics 115 and next 250 rounds on ammo inc 124. I have a cr920 from 2022 and that trigger has a rolling break that i like. i have 1500 rounds through this one. i have a wpcr920 from a few months ago that has a really clean break thats pretty much at the wall. around 300 rounds and now the crxp with one that has the slight mush/2nd stage like yours. i have 350 through this one. i dont know if youve experienced something like that with the others.

Most striker fired triggers are like a two stage trigger, with the exception of Walther or Canik. I can’t say this trigger is any different than the many Glock triggers or shadow I have used but I think it’s good and easy to shoot!

[@chaz.6361]

do they have a grip angle like a Glock or more like a 1911?

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

This is nearly identical to a G48, G43x

[@jacobsiekmann426]

Worst thing so far about mine is the slight slide bite I get. The beaver tail is a little shorter than the MR920

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Yeah the smaller grip can lead to that. But if you shoot it enough that meat grooves out 😂

[@Magswap]

I've had my eye on Shadow Systems, just waiting until they go the gen 5 route and implement a right side slide stop.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

I could see them doing that in the future!

[@Magswap]

@HuntFishShootChannel give them a nudge for me please 😉 Great content as always!

[@SolarJim2]

shot mine at the range this past weekend…like to take it out again soon. I think I like to shoot the MR better. I prefer to edc carry the XP. I have maybe 300 rounds through it.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Awesome!

[@cwhunter7127]

Great looking gun and flat shooter. Does the new comp 2.0 shoot as good as that be or the mr920p? Thanks for great reviews and honesty. Have saved me and I’m sure others a lot of money.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

No those two are a bit different due to their size in all dimensions. But it shoots very comparable to them while remaining considerably smaller!

[@nickn7857]

I was waiting for this one. I hear so many mixed things. Really would like to see 1k rounds plus to see how it holds up.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

If it’s anything like my other shadow systems guns it will be fine

[@nickn7857]

@@HuntFishShootChannel just due to the magazines being brand new to the market, compared to the polymer Glock mags that have been proven over decades. No doubt the gun is built well. Thanks for the great content as always!

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Understandable! Thank you, we appreciate it!

[@nickn7857]

Really would love a comparison between xmacro polymer and cr920xp! Nothing has replaced my 3 p365’s as top place in my heart and on my appendix. Best trigger reset, best quality, best all around for me. Cr920xp might be the next one if it continues to prove itself! Reliability comes before all.

[@toddtzm]

@@nickn7857I can’t stand my 365XL/XMacro frame with a tactical trigger kit. First off it lightened up too much for safe EDC. Not happy how it feels slippery and jumpy when shooting. Compared to my CR920XP with over a thousand rounds now…. The shadow is my new EDC during the hot summer days.

[@OohShady]

Do you think a G43X with a comp we be similar or a better option?

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

No I do not. You would end up spending more money on the Glock than this to achieve a similar effect. Then you would still have crappy grip textures, poor sights, bad trigger, bad optics cut, 10 round instead of 15 round mags and nearly non existent slide serrations

[@OohShady]

@@HuntFishShootChannel Awesome thank you for responding. I've been eyeing this and your review and reading the comments and your responses has me sold. I appreciate what you do!

Awesome! Happy to help! Thanks for watching

[@jeffyabraham621]

So are you saying this is better than the sw carry comp 2.0 metal frame? If you had to choose one?

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Two completely different pistols with two Completely different purposes

[@armyhawaii50]

Great video! Besides the grip, what’s your thoughts on the comparison on CR920P vs CR920XP? I have the CR920P and CR920X and sometimes interchange the frames. It’s been the only two guns I have ever needed now for conceal carry. I do have a Hellcat pro comp and MR920 elite with a Radian comp, but they never see IWB time lol.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

If you already have the CR920P and the X, I would just put that P slide on the X and call it a day!

[@oscarrubino1067]

Now the question is would you sell your G43X with a TRL 6 and tier1 for one of these!?

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Yes I would but that’s because I know how much better it shoots. It’s a significant difference

[@homegrownluv8106]

I have the cr920p Elite as well as the cr920x Elite. I swapped the slides and that was a game changer. The cr920px (swapped slides) as I call it in my opinion looks way better then the xp model. I went from 13rd with the cr92p to 15rd after slide swap. The new xp is very blocky looking.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

If you have that combo already, it’s the same overall concept for how it shoots. The difference is how it’s aesthetically finished.

[@TexasGunDude]

I have a CR920P slide on my CR920X frame. I don't have the full-length dust cover, but it fits in G48 holsters. Added a Johnny Glock trigger. It is not the best shooting subcompact that I have.

[@bwohali4471]

That's a nice gun!

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

For sure!

[@tobiasrex8052]

By any chance would i be able to buy just the Cr920xp grip frame for my Cr920p and just attach the slide to the frame?

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

They do not sell frames separately

[@tobiasrex8052]

@HuntFishShootChannel that is most unfortunate.. wanted a full grip frame to go with a compact slide. Thanks for the reply!

[@byronh77]

This gun is a 100 percent worth the money……this is the softest shooting carry pistol on the market. You’re getting a compensator for 100.00 more. Buy a Glock 48 and a radian afterburner and see what you end up spending vs this. I own one……run 124 gr through it not 115 and you shouldn’t have any issues. I had zero issues. Have 600 rds through it. The only con…….that slide release is extremely stiff to release and the price. It is expensive. The performance gains are extremely noticeable. But if you ever have to use it, that confiscation is goin to hurt. The slide release works when it wants to. Other than that. Love this gun. Worth the purchase.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

Couldn’t agree more! Did you know that Shadow Systems will replace your gun in the event you are involved in a shooting with it?

[@byronh77]

@@HuntFishShootChannel I am aware…. But depending on your state, that could be tricky. You will be considered guilty before innocent unless it’s clear cut. So l hope to never test that policy. I will grab my canik lol

[@paulwortham1825]

Now the only question is if the comp version is the same length as my G48, but if it fits into that holster.

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

It is the same length and from it appears some brand holsters work and others do not

[@paulwortham1825]

@@HuntFishShootChannel the area near the muzzle would be the difference since the shadow is more square like since it’s a comp

[@5RWill]

How do you like it compared to the micro dagger C1? I’m between these two. PSA QC withstanding. Though if i went C1 route would just be the slide with Glock parts. Really leaning SS though. Can’t buy a Glock and deck it out for the price of a CR920xp. Does it fit non mos 48 holsters?

[@HuntFishShootChannel]

It will not fit in non MOS holsters but will fit in MOS holsters with a light. I think it’s much much better than the C1. In many ways but the most important, build quality.

[@5RWill]

@@HuntFishShootChannel Well I ordered one, am hoping it will fit my G48 Tier 1 holster
