The Shadow 2 and the CZ 75 Shadow SP-01 Shadow Target II including a CZ Custom trigger job (they sell it that way) are both amazing top of the line pistols for competition. I have shot both.

The CZ 75 P-01 Omega is a compact. It is lighter than the CZ 75 Compact because of the difference in the frame. It is a good carry gun. Have not specifically shot the Shadow compact.
@jolebole-yt6 жыл бұрын
Shadow compact is basically a pimped up P01. I would personally go with a regular P01 for carry- you can still tweak it a bit. I have. You dont want a 2lb trigger on a carry pistol :). Unless you are extra careful.

I waited a year to purchase this pistol. Without a doubt this is one of the finest firearms that you will ever hold in your hand. In these days of polymer pistols, this is a testament to the engineering marvel and the machinist mastery at CZ. This is a pistol that you can pass on as an heirloom to your family. I selected the blue handle model, and when most people look at it they assumed that I paid about 3,000 dollars. I always wait to shot this pistol as the last firearm at the range. The only down side is that you will walk away thinking that you are a better shot than you really are.

I got a Shadow 2 and my warning is DO NOT BUY THIS GUN!!! It has caused an illness on my forefinger uncontrollably twitching at random times of the day. This unbearable itch can only be temporarily eased by sending hundreds of rounds down range; I call it the STS... Shadow Trigger Syndrome. Doctors have diagnosed me as incurable; I now sit at a quarantine section of the range with a bunch of others who also suffer from STS. I have LOK Grips on mine + DPS triple springs to reduce recoil & improve followup shots.....which only made my STS even worse ;)

You have to be an observer to see the bullet when it's a black powder gun, though: for the shooter, the world is nothing but smoke for a moment after each trigger pull!

Shadow trigger does not have a really light trigger. What it does have is an SADA trigger, and in SA mode it is a better trigger that any striker fired pistol. I do not see a problem with carrying a Shadow as a defensive carry, except for its size and weight. The CZ-75 series was a Eastern Block military sidearm much like the 1911 and M9 are to the Western Block. It would be no different than the M9 (also an SADA) and likely carried by few police departments (more Glocks though) and military police. The biggest reason not to carry a Shadow is in case you do use it. A regular CZ-75 can be had for under $500, and so of the really good and well made Turkish clones under $400 (generally made after an inspection of CZ of the manufacturering plant). The Shadow is selling for around $1,200. If you use it you may never see it again as it will reside 'allegedly' in the evidence locker for years, maybe even decades. I would love a really nice CZ-75 type that I could carry with that SADA trigger. Too bad when Springfield made the XDE that did not make that trigger have the feel of a SA trigger. If they had, I would be carrying that one. The Hellcat does not interest me either because it is yet another striker fired pistol. (BTW, CZ-P10 striker fired has one of the best striker triggers right out of the box. The only reason I did not buy one is I already have a couple of striker fired pistols and I do not want any others. The other CZ plus is that it points like a 1911. Another reason why Col. Cooper thought so well of these pistols.)

As a Glock fanboy, I had my mind closed to any other brands. Period. If it didn't start with the letter G, I stopped listening. Then I saw a CZ Scorpion EVO III S2 Micro with the folding brace. I bought it on the spot. The build quality, the fit and finish and the design really stunned me. So well made and shoots so well. Over a thousand rounds and counting and not one malfunction. No failure to feed/eject and it cycles as fast as you can pull the trigger. Because of that, I bought the Shadow II. It's the finest handgun ever made. When you hold it in your hand, it feels like no other. The way it sits when you extend is almost comical how easy it is to aim. I got it when ammo was at its most scarce and just couldn't be found. So I haven't had as much trigger time than I would like. But now spring is here and ammo is available and more affordable, it's go time. Let me reiterate: The finest firearm I have ever held

One of my bucket list items is to visit the CZ factory next time I am in the Czech Republic. One of the most pro-gun countries in Europe where concealed carry is allowed.

Got an SP-01 with the decocker about 2 months before this video. To anyone thinking of getting the CZ-75, it is highly worth it. Incredibly accurate, a little heavy, and very minimal recoil. 10/10 would buy again.

You need to start buying more CZs Hickock45..we all know you like them :). And btw use a corner of the magazine base plate to push the slide lock pin out. Thats why theres a dimple on the pin. Thank me later. 😉

The manual for every 75 and 75 variant tells you to use the mag base plate to knock the slide release out. The shadow 2 has a dimple in the frame for some odd reason and makes it harder to push, but the front edge of the magazine plate fits.

The shadow 2 is legal for production class. I feel the sa trigger requires less work to shoot accurately which translates to less time on hard shots vs a polymer pistol. Also seems to be easier to shoot fast an not over muscle as its roughly 3 pounds. All in all, you seem to get more for your efforts when shooting a shadow 1 or 2 vs a glock or m&p. Plus the fun factor goes up as it's just an enjoyable pistol to shoot and admire when not shooting.

In IPSC in Norway🇳🇴, the CZ Shadow 2 is by far the most popular gun. There are Glocks, Sigs, HKs, S&Ws, Tanfos, but CZ is by far the most popular brand, and among the CZs the Shadow 2 is the most used. It seems to be best in class in production! NB: we are not allowed to carry in Norway (which is sad) and thus we probably dont think about the original intent of production class as we should.
@SuperElkjer6 жыл бұрын
I have one of those :-) I bought it almost 2 years ago and I never had any problems with it. I had the trigger trimmed, even though it quite good from factory. I also changed the springs from 13 pound to 11 pound, and that gave a total different gun. It's very good. Nothing at the same price can compete :-) As you probably already know, the only problem with this gun is you use way too much ammo at the range :-)
