The CZ Shadow 2 is a competition pistol, ready for matches and ready to take a stand and deal with rivals in its own class of pistol. While those have so far focused on the design features and success of the Shadow 1, the Shadow 2 has not just improved the crucial details that have made it so successful to date, but it has significantly redesigned the main parts too, taking full advantage of the possibilities opened up by the recent modernization of technology.

The Shadow 2’s swappable mag release has an adjustable, extended button with three settings. The design is to allow shooters to set it in the spot most comfortable for them. Best of all, new trigger components give smooth DA and crisp, clean SA while drastically reducing trigger reset.

A hardy nitride coats the entire pistol, leaving it nearly impervious to corrosion. Also, the frame gets an additional layer of our black Poly-coat finish. Thin blue aluminum grips have healthy checkering to match the fine front and back.
