    Great video. I already own a CZ Shadow 2 and was anxiously awaiting for my local gun store to bring in the Beretta 92X Performance. I was excited to handle it once it came it, then I tried out the trigger. Not that is was bad, but the CZ Shadow 2 trigger feels better to me. Perhaps it is what I am already used to. Either pistol is a testament of the very best that each manufacturer has poured into a production pistol and is very worthy of being added to anyone’s collection. I am not a competitive shooter, but I can appreciate a well made all metal pistol that I can pass on to my children’s children.

    I love both guns. I just got the chance to shoot my brother-in-law's Shadow 2 yesterday and have experience shooing my father's Beretta 92X Performance that my siblings and I purchased for his birthday. Honestly you can't go wrong with either one. I prefer the trigger on the 92X Performance (they're comparable in SA but DA trigger is better and the 92X has a slightly better reset) , the look of it, and the straighter grip angle (closer to the 1911 style that I'm familiar with). The CZ Shadow 2 has one of the best trigger (it's so smooth in DA even if you might never shoot it that way), it's such a flat shooter, it's lighter, and I prefer the higher sights. Without much experience or training with both, I tend to shoot the Shadow 2 better but I'd probably buy the Beretta 92X Performance if I had the money for it. The 92X Performance is what I slightly prefer more if I'm splitting hair, but I would be happy with either one.

They introduced many innovations to the design (firing pin block, multicaliber capability, polymer framed guns...) before CZ did and, specifically, made dedicated pistols for competition dynamic shooting since the early '90s.
      The two products already clashed on World Shoot 2017, and the Tanfoglio products won (winning both Standard and Product divisions). We'll see if things will change in 2020, but the reigning champion of competition built production guns is the Tanfoglio Stock II.

I was seriously dissapointed at the Tanfoglios considering their immense popularity in the competition scene.

    For $40 bucks pick up a 12lb hammer spring and extended firing pin from CZ Custom and your Shadow 2 will end up with a 2.75 lb SA and 6.5-7lb DA. All the trigger job you need and lights off any primers 100%. I've even tried the hardest like IMI and M885.

    I think the stock 92X Performance trigger wins. My stock Shadow 2 trigger had just a little creep in the single action pull. Stock 92X Performance trigger has a better defined single action wall with no creep. Both have amazing double action.
    92X Performance might be more versatile with the wrap around grip but the Shadow 2 reach is more friendly for people with smaller hands.
    Very difficult to recommend one over the other. An honest answer from someone who loves both guns and has extensive background with both manufacturers would be to buy both.
    All I want for Christmas is a Beretta APX Target review video.

    Thanks for the video, a few days ago II was at my range/store and I saw the Beretta I looked at it and fell in love, but I didn't buy it, 2 days later. I went back but it was gone, then I saw the CZ Shadow 2 and I bought it, now I'm just waiting for my approval and the 72hr wait here in Illinois , can't wait to shoot it and have a great time, but if I see the Beretta again I'm not going to hesitate this time, great job, be safe and thanks again.

    If I had to pick just one. I would pick the CZ for my right hand and the 92X for my left. Okay I would probably switch hands the next day. Long established legacy of absolute quality and reliability with either firearm.

    • @JustinOpinionChannel
      @JustinOpinionChannel  3 роки тому +1

      By a slim margin, I would agree. The low bore of the CZ puts the recoil impulse more into the straight like of your arm - which is perceived as less energy.

    Beretta finally wised up! They finally put the safety on the frame, that and price point only reason I don't buy one. Why would I when my Taurus PT 100 from 1991 is still in service as my duty weapon to this day. Flawless performance with no visible signs of wear inside or out, she still looks almost new, and has never been a cabinet queen, lol! I like that Shadow, but again, they make it in the tristar brand by Canick for considerably less, and still putting up good reviews by owners and critics alike. I don't buy overpriced anything, I also don't buy cheap! I do however buy good everything cheap, lol!

    Have you tried the new AccuShadow2 yet? The Beretta seems to have MORE muzzle flip than the CZ.
    P.S. Actually, the Beretta DOES have a safety-DE-COCKER lever which can be changed for a de-cocker only.
    N.B. The PICCATINNY RAIL on the CZ can only accommodate an item in ONE position, while the one on the Beretta has 3 positions. :-)

      @DrFACHE Рік тому +2

      This is one person shooting two guns left and right handed. Not an accurate picture of recoil on a level playing field. The only truly accurate way to conclude that the Beretta has more muzzle flip is to run both guns with the same ammo and springs on a bench rest and measure the splits, groupings, and degree of flip from each shot. I suspect the author is right handed. If the Beretta was in his right hand, perhaps it would have less muzzle flip. …

    Love my CZ85 SAO.
    Like my Beretta M9A1 except the damn safety is backwards compared to the 1911s and CZs.
    I might sell the M9A1 and get the the new Beretta 92X performance.
    I wish Beretta would sell the Beretta Steel 1 with the SAO and safety like a 1911.
    But these guns are rare in the USA and sell for over $1000 if you can find one.
    After watching this great review, Now I want both the Shadow and the 92X performance.

    Thanks for the great review. I’m a CZ man but have an LTT modified M9A3 that has a better trigger than my CZ S2. But I still shoot my S2 better. It just fits into my hands better. And I run my M9 with the 1zie too. The Berettas just take some time to get used to but that slide release and take down lever and less mags and lower round counts per mags on the 92X are deal breakers vs my M9. And the S2 don’t have those issues of course. I’ll stick with my CZ’s. Thanks again!!!

      Rick Taylor CZs are excellent pistols! The S2 was built specifically as a competition pistol and is world renowned for its performance and reliability! In the near price range is the CZ TS which has a trigger that would make most 1911 fan boys cream their jeans! I think both pistols in this compare video are excellent choices. But to compare the S2 trigger to a BB gun is just ignorant.

      CZ pistols have a stamped out sheet metal slide, and the trigger on the CZ 75 I used to have was 10 + pounds pull. If you own the Beretta 92, you should try the Langdon Tactical trigger bar. The reset is incredibly short. 1/10th inch.
