Sidearms & Scatterguns CZ Shadow 2 Carry

I love the way the full size CZ shoots...this will be interesting.

Personally holding out for a Laugo Remus for this role though. Those sold out immediately upon release and I missed the boat…plan is for that to replace my Staccato-C (the old STI version) as my swim suit season CCW.

No. If you’re going to go Shadow, go full size OG SP-01 Shadow or S2.

I mean shrunken Shadow sounds fun… but c’mon, full Shadow with the belt and shit is where it’s at…

I just saw these this morning. I’ve shot Shadow 2’s a few times and loved them but couldn’t justify one because I already have other pistols that do the same thing, I’ve been eyeballing the compact since it came out but was bummed to find out it didn’t have a decocker when I almost bought one on a whim a couple months back.

Now they release this which is exactly what I want except it uses an RMSC cut instead of the other system so I can’t put a quality RDS on the thing and the only options are shield and a bunch of Chinese shit. I’m going to see if Cajun can RMR or RMRcc cut one, if they can I’ll probably snag one because it checks a lot of boxes for me and I’ve been wanting a Shadow 2 of some sort for a while.

I think this is going to a bit hit for CZ. It’s like an updated P01 which was always an underrated gun. The Holosun 407K and EPS carry are solid optics. I hate supporting the CCP but these things work well.

Well I had to get twice as many 507K’s delivered through exchanges than I needed for a few pistols to get ones that weren’t defective right out of the box with cracked and chipped lenses. Then two of them got sent back to Holosun within a year because one just flat out died and another fell off a nightstand onto carpet and had a wondering zero afterwards.

So I’ll have to disagree about them working well because quite frankly I think they’re pieces of shit that I wouldn’t put on anything beyond a range toy.

If it has a decocker and a firing pin block is it really a Shadow..? I don’t think so. 🤔

I sort of get it if viewed like an updated P-01… but half of what’s so cool about Shadows is how awesome their triggers can be (because of the Shadow-specific lack of FPB or decock clockwork).

IDK, most CZs are awesome, maybe this is the gateway drug to going full Shadow at some point for some folks lol.

Romeo X would be my choice here, agree on the Holosun airsoft stuff.
 
I love a Shadow 2/SP01 as a full size and carry a P01. The carry Shadow 2 just isn't enough different than my current P01 for me to have any interest. Same capacity and fire control, few oz heavier. I have a fully cajunized P01 for several hundred less than the carry Shadow 2 costs. I like the looks of it better but in function and role it looks like a more costly, heavier duplicate to me. I run 507Ks on 2 P01's that have seen a ton of rounds and beat to shit. They have done very well. Same service for me as my Trijicons.
