Over 6k downrange. lok brass palms and extended mag release. Vytal brass base pads. Eemann ultimate trigger. Dpm recoil system for the the last 2k rounds. And a 507k Vulcan. Thing stacks for me out to 25 yards fast firing. Fantastic handgun. As far as 9mm it’s just this and a modded 365x in my edc rotation.
Awesome setup. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I have both the full size Shadow 2 and the Compact. I would be hard pressed to pick only one, but the Compact is much preferred for weight savings. Both pistols are excellent shooters. As was stated earlier losing the rear sight isn’t anything to worry about. Optics are much better tan just a few years ago. I have SRO’s on mine. If you have any skill whatsoever with a 1911/2011 the lockwork on these pistols is quite safe for carry. If you’re afraid to carry a Shadow you probably shouldn’t be carrying a 1911/2011. The Compact does have a place for a lot of people contrary to what some may opine.
Thank you very much for your comment and for taking the time to stop by. I appreciate it.
What a great looking pistol! As winter is upon most of us, the ample trigger guard will certainly be appreciated by gloved hands. I agree, this one is going to sell fast. 👍👍
It is a beautiful handgun. Very well-made. Thank you so much for stopping by.
You're right , I tried purchasing mine about a month ago and I couldn't find it at gun stores or gun shows , that's how fast they were selling. Finally I found it at Gunbroker for $1399 , love this gun.
@@alfredosenalle9284 Outstanding, congrats!
Great gun. Possibly the best compact pistol on the market. Best wishes from Baku.
Thank you very much for watching!
I like them Azeri gals
@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 they are quite pleasing to the eyes
I bought one, took it to the range. I'm hitting the bullseye way more times than I ever had. I own more than my fair share of race guns.$1500.00 - $2000.00 price range. This gun is FANTASTIC !
i HAVE TWO NOW
You have two of them? Pretty awesome. What are your plans for having two? Thank you very much for stopping by.
Why do you need two Chad?
I have one and i love it. Just waiting on my holster to get here so i can start carrying it
Ordered one online at Range USA which my local store had one. Grabbed it for 1169 and drove as fast as I can to get it 😅. Now time to put 500rnds though this bad boy!
Congratulations! Please let me know how you like it after you showed it. Thank you for stopping by.
Nice one! For that price a good choice. What they asked for at first was way too much. I don't like losing the rear sight.
It’s near enough to a Redback at 1/3 the price so you can feel ok about carrying it and scratching it up. As far as losing the back site, modern high end red dots are pretty robust. If you’re crawling around in the hills of Afghanistan then maybe worry. Streets of America? Well……not yet.
Well said. Thank you very much for stopping by
Awesome perfect pistol! 👍
It is sweet. Thank you for watching.
I've put 400 rds through mine so far and it's pretty damn good.
They are pretty sweet. Thank you very much for stopping by.
I was about to tell you about Cajun Gunworks trigger pack. I have it on my P-01 and SP-01 Tactical. We have the compacts at our shop. I'd like to get one.
As always, thank you very much for stopping by.
The DA feature is basically a double strike capability if you have a light primer strike. I wish this was a real DA/SA. Nice looking though.😊
The P10 series is good enough for me.
Yer ma is good enough fer me
@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 Where in the hell did that come from? We got some winners!
@@SB-mw1bg what's yer deal Bubba? You bang yer head or something?
Already bought one hope you took it home!
Have you shot it yet? What are your thoughts on it? Thank you for stopping by.
Depending upon where you live, you might not see one for a long while.
I have a PCR with the CGW pro package which I think makes it a very close competitive choice. For the money, I cannot believe this compact Shadow would be better. And consider, if you use you new Shadow compact for a carry piece and ever had to use it for defense, good luck getting it back from law enforcement anytime soon. Just think of all that money just sitting in an evidence locker. 😞
I think you should investigate getting one of the various CZ compacts and the CGW pro package and use what you save for more ammo! ;-)
Oh that’s a good suggestion and thank you so much for stopping by.
Sonho de consumo!!!😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Have yet to find one in Florida
This is the only one that I’ve seen locally since they came out. Thank you for stopping by.
Heard there great shooters id definitely send to yeagerwerks they do optic cuts and slide top serations .
BUY IT
I owned one for couple months before I sold it (actually traded it). Shot very, very well esp. with my reduced hammer spring @ 11.5 lb. I would have gotten the Reach Reduction kit to reduce its double action reach if were to keep it. But its upper back strap, beaver tail and mag release just have too many unnecessary sharp edges and cut lines to be comfortable for my hand. It's coiled hammer spring system also necessitate a wider grip (from side profile) than I would like. I wanted to love it but just couldn't. As a race gun, none of what bothered me matters. But I am not using it as a race gun so it doesn't suit me personally.
Interesting observation. Thank you very much for your comment and for taking the time to stop by.
So what gun did you settle on, PDP SD Pro?
@@UltimateEnd0weirdly enough I am trading in my pdp pro sd compact for a shadow 2 compact and cash
A P-01 customized by CGW or CZ Custom is the same price, and a much better option in my opinion. I have a P-01 SDP and I used to have a Shadow 2. The Shadow 2 was great, but no better of a shooting experience than my P-01 SDP, so I sold it.
Isn't the P01 much heavier than the Shadow 2 compact ? I believe due to the comparative frame materials.
I have a P01 Omega from CZ Custom shop and it’s the only reason I haven’t purchased this gun but I’m still tempted lol.
And my P01 is cut for an RMR and I don’t lose my rear sight
Please do a video on Dan Wesson DWX or DWX Compact ! :)
I’ve been looking for one locally without any luck.
Good price for this pistol, everyone seems to be asking way too much.
Yeah, some of the prices that I’ve seen are ridiculous. I have not seen another one come through the store though. Thank you for stopping by.
Very interested in this gun, but I have some questions about the optics ready part of it. Where are the plates?
You have to call or go line and purchase them from CZ.
@@MDpolo thanks you would think for the price of the gun they could supply the plate.
IMO the Shadow 2 was designed specifically for competition only . This version is cool because you can use it in CO for both USPSA and IDPA, unlike a FS S2 which is overweight for IDPA CO . The shorter sight radius isn’t an issue once u install an optic . I wouldn’t carry this pistol . I’ve seen a few experienced shooters AD at the range while decocking - wouldn’t want to do that at home 😬
Totally understand that. Thank you very much for stopping by.
I walked into my LGS and seen it, handled it and bought it. Haven’t seen one since in their shop. 😉 Just like the 15 round mags for it they are out of stock everywhere except a website that folks pay a premium for guns.
How do you like it?
@@MDpolo I love it.
@@usmc6429 Only one had come in to my local gun shop when it was released and it was the one that I filmed - but didn’t buy it. It sold that day. It’s taking this long for another one to arrive. Three showed up yesterday. So I am seriously thinking about buying one.
@@MDpolo I haven’t seen another one at my LGS since I bought mine. They are in high demand and they won’t last so you shouldn’t wait long to make up your mind.
yes going home with u
Im on the fence between the shadow 2 compact and kimber kds9.
That’s a tough choice. I was facing the same choice. If it matters, the Kimber did not come home with me. Having said that I would’ve been perfectly happy with either one. The CZ just felt better in my hand. I would love to know which one you end up buying. Thank you very much for stopping by.
@@MDpolo I will let you know.
I might be in the minority but personally i would've preferred the compact to have a steel frame instead of aluminum. The extra weight would make it much more competitive, but still light enough for idpa carry optics and the compact size would be a good balance and eliminate the nose heavy tendency of the full size shadow 2.
ITS ALLUMINUM SO ITS LIGHTER FOR CARRY. THIS GUN IS MEANT TO BE CARRIED
@buddy9577 OK THANKS FOR THE NEW INFORMATION!!!
Anyone want to trade their compact version for my full sized Shadow 2? I want the smaller version
I'm a huge CZ fan, but I wasn't impressed with the Shadow 2 Compact and sold mine after owning it about a month.
Very interesting. May I ask why you were not impressed and what made you sell it?
@@MDpolo For me it just isn't (wasn't) anything special.
NOTHING ANY BETTER OUT THERE@@silverbackgorilla2112
How much does it way
Just under 30 ounces.
That didn't last 24 hours at the shop, did it?
It did not.
🇮🇱👍💋👌❤️🇮🇱
Don’t get me wrong, CZ is an amazing brand but they missed the mark if this is to be considered a “carry” gun. They would have been better off making this in an Omega model which would’ve allowed the hammer to be lowered with a decocker as opposed to utilizing your thumb. The low profile thumb safety is really worthless. Acommon complaint which I agree with. Just my opinion.
This is da/sa. That's the only way the gun comes. It just don't have a decockee
It's meant to be a carry gun. However the pistol has no decocker, decent manual safety of size for finger or worse yet internal firing pin safety. I wouldn't carry this gun and prefer the full size Shadow 2 for competition. To me this gun in it's configuration has no place on the market.
Ugh another decocker / FPB fudd...lol.
@@alexmiller6848 Yes and your comment shows a lacking intellect and critical thinking for someone pass 21+.
I’d put extended safety’s on and convert it to single action.
Feller, I'm of a mind that you don't know what in tarnation yer talking about.
I sonewhat agree with your points, especially re the FPB for a carry gun, but an extended safety is an easy install and a decocker isn't necessary for everyone. Hat said, I'd rather carry my P01 decocker 🤷🏻♂️
The shadow 2 is the only 9mm Id like t buy.Iv shot the fulsize and its scarry accurate.the shadow is the only other pistol Id trust my life besides my mark 23.
