CZ Shadow 2 Compact: Unreal performance at the range. Better than Staccato?!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2023
- Pure shots, elegant delivery and the sweet sound of steel make for a wonderful day at the range. The CZ Shadow 2 Compact has made each category a firearm enthusiast desires available in one platform.
Sure we may have a slight CZ bias.... but that didn't stop us from testing function and overall performance at the range!!

I had a Staccato P and I definitely prefer my Shadow 2 Compact
I can agree with that. Just because you pay more doesn’t mean you get better, in some cases
No kidding I (Gene) do as well and I paid 3200 for that Staccato 🤦🏻♂️. Please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
@@grantmetcalf9688 My LGS happened to get one in and priced it a little under MSRP, so I jumped on it.
@grantmetcalf9688 we were fortunate to catch it within 2 hours of it being stocked and sold out at Blackstone in Charlotte NC

Enjoyed the video, thanks. I subscribed. A CZ is definitely next on my list, but I want the full size one. Will try to snag one on black friday if there is a sale.
You can often find the full size on sale for $999 or $1099 depending. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I just picked up CZ custom shop shadow 2 compact on Friday. I can’t wait to get to ranges and try out. I’ve been doing a lot of dry firing and custom shop trigger is fantastic!

Have a P-07 and found I like CZ. Got the Shadow 2 Compact last month by luck. LGS had ordered for someone else but they could not come up with the money so I was able to get it. LGS ordered in October 2023. $1299 + Tax. Awesome gun!!

@@GSquaredTactical APPARENTLY THE GUN STORE was wrong . I just picked up one of these at a local small shop . I paid MSRP at $1299.00 . Which is still to high
That’s what we paid for ours. Actually CZ has it listed at $1199 MSRP. Thanks for watching and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
A proud Colt CZ shareholder (2000 stocks) here. Good you enjoy it. I don't know how "we" do it, we probably have some folks who enjoy when guns work fine and they are listened to. There are probably advantages to the small size, a part of the inaccuracy from larger guns simply is because your muscles got tired. When a smaller gun is perfectly balanced, it may be better.
I also think that this could potentially replace all sorts of pistols in the CZ portfolio. There is this problem with the excessive conservatism of the CZ buyers. They have various guns that were already good enough, they got used to praising them, keeping them forever, recommending them, and they often don't want to hear that a gun may be better still. With a more sensible communication of the actual qualities, this could be the only pistol CZ makes for a year or two, and I also think that the CZ 600 series could be the only hunting rifles. BREN 2 rifles for the war probably still need a bunch of options, too. But I think that the CZ-75 should be seen just as a predecessor of some really stellar guns of their times - the fact that CZ-75 was already arguably #1 in the world at that time changes nothing about this statement.
That’s a heck of a read. Thanks for sharing your thoughts as they are interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
@@GSquaredTactical Done! Touching, thanks. ;-) Keep enjoying what you're doing.
Some of that is agreeable, however innovation always continues and a lot of the shadow aspects are based off the iconic P-01 design with some better ergo’s and tweaking. It gets a little bit better as time goes bye.
I love my P01 as well. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I am a huge CZ fan, I have been shooting for over 50 years competitive, hunting, and for fun; shooting many different pistols, rifles, and shotguns I enjoy my guns!!! CZ is by far my favorite pistols I own 4, I made a big mistake about 7 years ago when the Shadow 2 full size, and Sport Orange was much cheaper, and didn't buy one!!!
You can still get the full sized shadow ll for $899 and $999 throughout the year as they drop the price several times a year for some reason. I bought my Urban Grey shadow ll for $898.99 plus tax around last Christmas. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
@@GSquaredTactical and that's a great thing, thank you!!!
I have the SP01, 75bd and 75 compact. PCR or Shadow 2 is next, whichever shows up at my favorite gunshop first!
I hear you. I live CZ I think everyone needs to sale everything they have and buy nothing but CZ lol. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
@@GSquaredTactical I am subscribed fren
@blanchedlion4681 thank you
Mine is at Cajun gunworks getting magic done. To me it's already better than the stacotto c2 out of the box at half the cost. Imagine once the trigger work is done on it! I can't wait

@GSquaredTactical I just subscribed. Great channel and fantastic content
Thank you sir
Which air pod generation are those? Didn’t realize that they could be used for shooting.
Some people give me grief about it but they cancel noise well and work for me when I engage in loud activities. They are the gen 2 pro version
I got a p10 c about yo buy another cz stuck between p01 sp01 or the shadow 2 compact i am left handed whats your thoughts
Dang dude I’m partial to all of those being a CZ guy but 2 are compact and basically the same gun and one is a full sized classic. If I was going to get one of the compact I’d get the shadow 2 compact. The P01 is great but weights more and doesn’t feel as good in hand as the shadow 2 compact. The SP01 was the first CZ I ever bought and love it till this day. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Just picked one up today did not get to shoot it but if it shoots as good as it feels in the hand it will be my new best friend:)
I don’t think you’re going to be disappointed one bit! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t already
Just got back from the range man you weren't kidding that gun out performs pistols twice the price what a home run from CZ only con I have is that I wish I had a slightly bigger safety it's hard to disengage it out of the holster
Yes I mentioned not liking the safety in the tabletop. Wish there was a decocker option but you’d sacrifice trigger performance. I wish it just stood off the side slightly more
Totally agree about the safety I know there will be upgrades In the future but thanks for the content. I really appreciate the insight
@@GSquaredTacticaldoes the shadow 2 compact have magazine over insertion issues where open slide a hard insertion can bend extractor
You can find the Shadow 2 compact online, but you'll pay a premium! The cheapest I've found that claim to be in stock? Is $1800.
We are thinking that may come down some in price? Normally demand for guns this hot is off the rails upon release, maybe once that settles the price will become reasonable

I got rid of my p3 65Xmacro.comp got it at my local place, 1300 and it was the only one in town, shit. There's a used one down the road for 1600 lol.

Best gun I ever bought

Hi Guys ,I don't own a handgun but own a LM4 rifle (south african licensed version of Israeli Galil) do you think the the shadow 2 compact will make a good first handgun ? Bare in mind I only shoot with rifles and never saw the need to own a handgun untill now
Man I’m kind of jealous that this is going to be your first handgun as mine was a Gen 3 Glock 17 😂. It’s honestly hard to answer that question as everyone is different. Will the shadow last forever, with nearly unmatched reliability and accuracy? Yes absolutely and as mentioned above I’d rejoice at the prospect of this being my first gun. Let us know what you decide to go with. Thanks for watching and please be sure to comment if you haven’t already

@@jokeyzhuzhu I ordered it thru my local dealer. They get from a CZ distributor

A guy at the range wanted me to shoot his two Staccatos.
I did.
Then he shot my Shadow 2 Compact and asked, "Wait, what is this?"
My reply: About $1300 still in my pocket.
I think I hurt his feelings 😂😂😂

I got one for $1400 out the door. They had 50. When I picked it up they were all gone. The only thing that I don't like is the safety. Why is it so small?
Yeah the safety sucks that’s why I manually drop the hammer and carry DA. I like decockers, but that affects the great trigger. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Would you please kindly let me know which store, can they do waitlist and ship? Thank you.
I don’t know of one. Thanks for watching and commenting
What pistol u like better this or that Canik TTI ?
This
Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Thanks 🙏
Is this much better than the p01?
That is a tough question to answer because they are very similar although the Shadow compact has a much better trigger, feels better in the hand and was much more accurate in my hands anyway. Now others may shoot better with the P01 as everyone is different. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
It’s a nice gun. Too bad everyone wants 500-600 dollars more than Msrp for them
Yeah it’s high right now. Luck to get mine at $1299
Support your local gun stores. I’m sure they can hook you up
Most are saying months out but honestly that’s consistent with most online stores too

I’d take a Staccato any day if money wasn’t a factor. But it is so I have a Shadow 2 compact coming my way. 😂
To be fair a lot more work goes into a staccato than this so it’s bound to cost more. Two things I dislike about the Shadow 2 compact is losing the rear sight when adding an optic and the safety is almost flush with the frame.
Those would be the very same two things that I do not like about it, or for that matter any optic ready shadow. It’s just mind-boggling to me that with all of the technology that goes into guns, they can’t figure out a way to mount an optic and have a co-witnessing sites. That’s the reason why to date I have not installed an optic on mine nor do I intend to. I was so accurate with just the iron sites It’s kind of a non-issue for me.

I believe I have seen your comments before and that you are already a subscriber so forgive me for asking again lol
@@GSquaredTacticalYeah I’ve been a subscriber and you guys have helped me out before on your Prodigy videos.
But yeah if it was mainly competition gun like the full Shadow 2 I can kinda see why they wouldn’t bother. But making a compact version for potential edc doesn’t.
Seems like impact machine at least makes a plate with a rear sight attached if someone wishes to go that route also.
@Three60Crusader yeah it’s just silly to me
Guys, normalize the volume! Increase the voice and reduce the shots and steel!
Thanks for the advice it’s noted.

Nice,I'm sure the price will climb
No price is down
@@awakeforever grabagun 1700.00 in stock where are they alot cheaper
I paid 1299.99 plus tax. I’ve never saw it lower or higher than that. Thanks for watching @awakeforever and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I really do love CZ and I have a shadow too. And to be honest with you, I don't think the price for it is really worth it. I know it's a good gun. But at the same time the Big Brother is $900 out the door and all they did was just made a shorter more compact version and it's twice the price. I don't think so. Maybe they should have started out selling it for a 1000 Bucks, but not the $1600 to $1800 range.
That’s not CZ. CZ’s MSRP IS $1099. It’s the dealers jacking the price up because they have them which is crap. I paid $1300 OTD

...you're not getting a CZ Shadow 2 out the door for $900 unless it's not a CZ. Which is.....not a CZ.
@user-bf3pw3sw7m 1000% I did follow us on facebook and I’ll put a picture of the receipt there. You can get shadow 2’s on the regular in my area for $899, $999 and most of the time $1099.

I’ve had a bunch of staccato. They’re all gone now. Major issues with them all.
What types of issues if you don’t mind me asking
Which staccato pistols did you have and what were the issues? Thank you.
@southeastwhitetails we had two different versions of the P model. One tactical and one plane Jane. The issues we described it our video review of the tactical model with suppressor makfunctions
