About this Video:
In this video I share my first look at the CZ Shadow 2 Orange as I first get it out of the box from purchasing it. Share a comparison of it to the CZ Shadow 2 Blue that I have modified to be my match pistol. Show you how to strip the pistol to clean it and exchange parts that have been supplied with the pistol. I show some in depth side by side comparisons of the CZ shadow 2 Orange and the CZ shadow2 blue, to show the many differences of the pistols. Also I take the pistol down the range for the first time to see how it functions. To learn about "CZ Shadow 2 Orange Unboxing" topic you must click: 👉 www.azzatac.com

I feel like you're the only person on UA-cam that does a comprehensive comparison with the Orange to the Blue. I just purchased an Orange and your breakdown/comparison of both qualities made me very pleased with the investment.
Thanks mate I appreciate the comment. What discipline are you shooting with your orange?
@@azzatac9763 Practical shooting. USPSA production. Definitely looking forward to the training, I just received the Orange 3 days ago.
Nice mate. How is your ammo situation over there?
@@azzatac9763 Ammo is no longer as scarce. Prices are still relatively high but they are noticeably beginning to go down.
That's good news mate. What pistol have you upgraded from?
Great informative video. I purchased my Shadow 2 orange, after watching your videos pertaining to all the info and accuracy shooting comparisons between, both the Shadow 2 and the Shadow 2 orange!
Awesome mate!
Thank you for your efforts to pull this together. I purchased the Orange and Blue CZ Shadows today. Not shot them yet. And getting a great amount of info from your detailed info...
Thanks Robert for your positive comments. What discipline do you plan on shooting with your CZ's?
Great Vid Azza, quality as per usual!
Thanks Mate, did you see the cool fire part? Just for you mate!!!
Thanks Azza - I have an older Shadow SP-01 Orange and it came with the same massive but useless brief case with all the same springs in bags with spare buffers. The internals were also polished up exactly like the new Shadow 2 Orange. I learnt quite a bit from your Video today so thanks heaps.
Your welcome Paul, thanks for the comment. What springs did you end up using in your pistol?
I stripped it down and compared all the springs and ended up leaving the gun as is because from what i could tell the lightest springs were what were in it. It's functioning flawlessly with everything from 115gn Black Widow semi wadcutters with minimum charges of APS 450 , to 125gn roundnose minor power AP70 handloads right up to 150gn Syntech factory loads. Im pretty extatic with it but still want a Shadow 2 Orange later on
Yer good plan. If its working there is no real need to start mucking around with it. The EemannTech spring kits are really good just for future reference.
Very informative and helpful. Thanks for sharing the info.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the information informative and helpful. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Sharing knowledge is always a pleasure!
Although I'm not going to compete, my specialty is "Precision Accuracy"!
I target shoot for tight groups from 25 yards, Standing Unsupported, slow fire at a 5" diameter bullseye target with a 3" X-ring. I think I know what the intrinsic accuracy of the Shadow 2 orange is after watching your videos, now I will find out my performance matches up with one of the most accurate pistols!
Thanks for the great comment mate.
Great info there mate. I’m interested in seeing some accuracy footage comparing the two guns
Thanks mate I hope to get some footage tomorrow arvo?
I found the video to be incredibly informative, and I learned a great deal about the Shadow. My Shadow Orange has a plastic plunger for the recoil spring, instead of using a steel bushing in the slide. Is the plastic bushing a new change?
Although in your comparison of both pistols, you mention that the greater accuracy from the Shadow Orange comes from the tight fit of the barrel locking lugs to the slide, CZ states in there advertisement for the Shadow Orange, that the accuracy does come from the custom bushing. CZ also states that the custom bushing set up in the "accu Shadow 2" is where it gets its accuracy.
Correct mate. But when you measure the tolerance of the orange bushing vs the blue bushing they are the same. I was a little disappointed at this point as having the removable bushing will allow a tighter fit and there greater accuracy from the bushing. But that just wasn't the case for my Orange. Let me know what the difference is between the measurements of outside diameter of your barrel is compared to the inside of your bushing? Thanks for all your comments I appreciate it!
@@azzatac9763 Even though your measurements show that there is greater vertical measurement for the Shadow 2 bushing where as the Orange bushing has uniformity all round??
P.S. I've also watched your shooting accuracy comparison of both, spot on!
Correct mate. I just expected it the orange bushing to be a tighter fit than it is on my Pistol. If I was to fit it myself it would be only just able to fit on the barrel.
Front sight is also different, in my opinion it is better because not a pin holds it in place like the blue`s sight but a screw at the back of the sight. (Because of the bushing, there is no place for the holder pin). Also be careful with the main (hammer) spring which you put back. It is true that it has the same length as Emantech spring but it is much much stronger. (The steel is thicker.) The factory "strong" main spring is around 16lb, the light is around 13-14. I use Emantech 9 lb main spring. The SA move is ~4 mm for the blue, ~2 mm for the orange, and with short reset disconnector (for example with Emantech disco) it can be 0 mm.
Thanks mate. As I said it would have been good for them to be marked. I use the 7lb main spring.
And true the front sight is different, I missed in the video, because it was actually the 1st time I looked at it. I agree with you that it is better and it looks a lot like a Tanfoglio front sight and that is why I probably over looked it, I have only recently changed to CZ for my Production gun. I will mention the sight in my accuracy video coming soon. Thanks again for your comment it is appreciated.
I just bought the shadow 2 blue red dot site ready....... was almost going to get the orange but it was a little more money than the blue.......but both are great looking guns and don't think you could go wrong either way
Thanks for the visit and the comment Trevor, hope your Cz Shadow 2 is going well.
Nice Dillon I have the 750 but way customized now
Thanks @harleyiron1977. What mod have you got on your dillion?
I wanted to touch base with you and let you know about the superb accuracy from my Shadow 2 Orange. Not being in PPC competition any longer, my main focus is target accuracy at 25 yards. Shooting 5 or 10 shot groups. Standing unsupported (no rest) , and shooting "slow fire" single action, I shot 5 rounds of Winchester (active duty) 115gr. fmj into the 3" diameter bullseye X-ring. The 5 round group measured just 1.25"s! My Shadow 2 Orange is stock with no modifications. My goal is to eventually shoot a 1/2 to 1" (5 shot group) from 25 yards standing unsupported without a rest.
G'day Precision that is really good to hear and wow that is some good shooting from 25y unsupported. The main reason I changed the spring set up in mine was to lighten up the double action and reduce the reset of the trigger to match my CZS2. Thanks for letting me know and good luck with reducing your groups even further.
@@azzatac9763 Thank you, looking forward to some more great videos on the Shadow 2s!
Yer mate thanks I have one in the works atm.
Need some additional input. Being a retired Police Officer, I've carried a handgun off duty for years and now, intend to carry my CZ Shadow 2 Orange. I intend to extensively practice with my CZ Shadow 2 Orange. I also intend to carry it concealed wherever I go. I know its a large frame and heavy pistol, but that never impeded my carrying a 1911 pistol. My question is with this particular pistol if I carry it for personal protection, should it be carried in single action with safety on "cocked and locked"? or hammer down, in "double action mode"?
My advice would be to carry it the way you shoot it at the range. If you shoot it from the hammer down position in practice do that and vice versa. For me if I was to carry my cz it would be in the hammer down position because that is how I use it all the time. Hope this helps with your decision?
@@azzatac9763 Yes I totally agree, thanks again!
I just purchased this CZ, but noticed in some reviews the base plates for the mags are plus 2 and silver mags. Is there a different version?
Gday mate. We didn't even get mags and we can only have 10 rnds over here in Australia. I got some silver bases with a cz shadow2 Australia flag version and they were 10 rnds.
Here in PH we get them with nickel coated magazines,.
Finally someone else has a shadow 2 orange , mine came with 3 mags and is very accurate. I was kind of lost with all the springs they could of separated then and put the poundage on them .
Thanks for the comments. Yes it would have been a good thing to know what springs you have by some form of identification. Are u just shooting factory ammo through yours or are have u got handloaded ammo too?
@@azzatac9763 just factory so far we have a huge ammo shortage in the us , I have a couple thousand rounds but I don't know how long it will last and reloading supplies are really hard to find and I'm not paying triple the price for anything.
Yer that's fair. It's pretty crap about the ammo shortage. What discipline do you shoot?
@@azzatac9763 just for fun right now , until I purchased this pistol I never gave competition much thought but this gun is so much fun to shoot you never know I am already looking at belt setups.
Cool mate. I have a video for setups if you would like to have a look? Once you start shooting comps you probably won't stop mate!
I'm really interested in this gun' I already got the normal Shadow 2. The only thing that worries me though is that it seems you can't disassemble it without the brush tool. So should the slide release break during an ipsc course, it's over.
Gday Markus. If the slide stop/release broke, highly unlikely because of the fitment, you would be able just replace it like your shadow 2. You only need your tool to take the barrel out. Thanks for the comment.
@@azzatac9763 I see! Thank you, that's good to know.
No worries mate anytime.
Ok, gotta know where you got your 10 round mags, that fit the Orange baseplate? I live in a restricted state, only can own 10 round magazines. CZ 75 10 round mags floor plates are not in interchangeable with the orange floor plates.
Would love to get 10 round mags that I can use the Orange floor plate.
Gday Daniel, the normal normal magazines we get here fit the orange floor plates. IMO I would get metgar mags or tanfoglio mags that are blocked to only hold 10 rounds. The silver ones that I use mainly are Tanfoglio mags, as I use to run a tanfoglio Xtreme 3 pistol for production. I hope this helps? Let me know how you go, happy to help where I can.
@@azzatac9763 Thank you! I just ordered two of the Tanfoglio 10 rounders, only two in stock. Funny enough, coming from Canada. Since they have similar mag restrictions as my state. I went with the tanfoglios since they appear to have a metal floor plate. Unlike the mec-gar ones. I’ll still probably pick up one mec-gar when they come back into stock. Since I have three Orange floor plates. Thanks for the tips.
@Daniel C glad to hear mate. You are welcome, I am always happy to help where I can. I hope you have fun down the range with your new Orange!
Great content Azza. Just got my first S2 blue. What # springs do you use? Recoil and main. Or what would you suggest for factory ammo? Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Gday Nic. 10 or 11lb recoil spring. Nothing lighter than a 8lb main spring and extended FP with a reduced FP spring. I use EemannTech springs and have 10lb recoil and 7lb main but I only use federal and Winchester primers. The EemannTech disconnector is probably the best aftermarket part you can put in your shadow IMO.
@@azzatac9763 cool thanks, will check them out. The stock main spring is super heavy. Definitely going to get an eemanntech.
Yer mate they pretty heavy. If do change it make sure you change the FP and spring as well otherwise you could have soft strikes. Are u in Australia?
@@azzatac9763 will do thanks. NSW
I should have my first shipment from EemannTech arrive next week, I'll have everything you will need. If you would like to get the gear off me?
Being that you have used the CZ Shadow 2 models extensively, I would greatly appreciate your opinion. I have seen on other videos, where the host has suggested, that the weakest point in the CZ Shadow 2s are the Trigger return spring and Trigger pin, also the slide stop. They said these are most prone to breakages. Have you experienced, or scene these sort of breakages?
G'day precision I have heard of the trigger spring breaking but have never seen it. At the club I shoot at we have a lot of CZ club guns and they get around 1000 rnds a week and the main thing that breaks on the is the slide stop. I have had none break in mine. My original one in my blue cracked and then I deburred it and it still works fine. My suggest is to deburr the slide stop after around 200 rnds have been fired with the new slide stop. Also continual realising the slide on an empty chamber from the fully open position does not help the life of the slide stop. As for the trigger axis pin, I run the Eemanntech competition one in my pistols it is so much easier to disassemble with it installed and I have had no dramas what so all with it. Hope this answer's your questions and thanks for reaching out to me.
@@azzatac9763 Thank you so much, you have been extremely helpful and informative!
@@azzatac9763 Yes, I intend to purchase that trigger pin and their trigger spring installation tool also!
Great video. Mine came with 3 mags. So did my friend’s and all other I boxing’s I’ve seen. Are the mags restricted where you are from or something like that?
Thanks @Jim C for the comment. Yer we are restricted to 10 here and new rules have banned mags that are crimped to block to 10 rnds. What discipline are you shooting with yours?
Azza Tac I’m a new shooter to USPSA production. Started with my stock M&P just to see if I liked it before upgrading. I noticed some guys buying expensive race guns before even attending a match. Then they end up not liking it and waste a ton of cash. I’m glad I waited.
Azza Tac I really want to get into 3-gun eventually but I live in an area of the US where it’s not that popular and hard to find a club or matches.
Yes you definitely made the right choice with the CZ. The m&p isn't to bad in saying that for a plastic gun/carry gun.
I would really like to shoot 3 Gun as well. But it is even harder here in Australia because of the gun laws. I didn't think it would be to hard over in the states to shoot 3 Gun. Have u you got the other 2 guns you need and what are they?
Azza Tac I live in New England and for some reason 3-gun isn’t as popular here. Can’t find a club that isn’t hours away so I’ll stick to pistol for now. Yes, I have the other two guns required. An AR-15 which started its life as a Ruger but I’ve swapped out so much of it over the years I think it’s lower is the only thing original. Little on the heavy side for competition but it will do the job. I have a 1-6 powered optic on it which should be ok for 3-gun. For shotgun I have a mossberg 930 JM Pro. Decent out of the box competition gun. I only needed to throw on a +5 mag extension (10 rnd cap now), a larger bolt release button, and an aluminum forearm retainer (the stock plastic one left a little play in the forearm). It’s no Benelli M2 but I’m not playing those prices at this stage. I’m sure as I gain experience and learn from more experienced folks I’ll have a better idea what I should focus on for upgrades. For now what I have is fine to start I think
Fyi the sound is mostly out of the left speaker. there is some, minor, sound coming from the right. this is not the case on other media on this pc, its not my pc, its the video/audio of this specific video brother.
Thank for the feedback mate. I will be using different audio equipment in my new videos.
What are the differences between the orange and the accushadow 2?
I am not sure mate let me get back to you after I do some research. Thanks for the question.
Can you do an accuracy and pistol comparison between the TSO and the shadow 2 orange? I have been debating if i could only get one which one to get. TIA
Gday TIA. I will try and organise it for around November. I have a mate who has one and I know it is pretty accurate. Thanks for the comment and what are you using at the moment?
Excellent review. You know your stuff.
Hi Azza, I have a cz85 now but am looking at upgrading to either shadow 2 or shadow 2 orange, since you have both. Is the orange worth the extra. In regards to shooting experience or accuracy? Thanks for your vids..
G'day mate. What are you going to shoot? IPSC?
@azzatac9763 yes, mate. IPSC, steel challenge, falling plate.
In Australia?
@azzatac9763 yeah mate, just up the big hill from you.. 😀
Nice mate. Depends on your budget and if you are planning on having a back up gun? If can afford to buy the orange and buy another as a back up that is what I would suggest but you will still have to send money on them to get the triggers right. If you don't have this budget I would buy the shadow 2 mate with the intent of buying a second one and setting them up exactly the same and then testing them to see which one is better and use that as your comp gun and the other as your practice back up gun.
Complimenti, recensione molto tecnica 👍
Gracias @Celestino Poletti
Can you stop scratching that beautiful shadow with your screw diver lol. Anyway, thanks for for the video. Really helpful.
Thanks for the comment. Glad I could be of help! What do you shoot at the moment?
Hi sir did you find out the lbs of the spare recoil springs?
Gday mate. I didn't. I just put them in the gun and felt which one was the lightest. My advise is to buy your own so you know what you are using. I use the 10lb EemannTech comp recoil spring. I have them for sale at www.azzatac.com if you would like one? Thanks for your comment.
@@azzatac9763 thanks for the reply sir. Would love to but i live in the PH. I recenty bought a CZS2 orange and your video was a great help when i was deciding which model to buy. I watched the video when i first cleaned it as well. Great content 💪
Thanks mate. Appreciate your kind feedback.
❤
Wow. I am interested to watch and learn.... but sorry mate.. I fell asleep 3 times took a shower. Went to the post office made dinner and came back.. and the video was still playing and all I understood was... ummm
Thanks for your feedback mate. What would you like to know or understand? CZ Shadow 2's are awesome.
Well starting off. I'm from California. And the s2 is off roster.. so I found one that I can but.. but the price is just violating me.... $2500🤢 but out the door is $2850. So I put 35% down. So they would hold it for me.. but it sickness me that, people in the state right next to me are getting it $1500. OTD....
So I'm trying to fool myself by saying the upgrades would make it worth almost 3 grand for a shadow 2 blue
All that and not a single mag. That's rather odd!
Gday Bill. Yer all the mags got siezed and sent back. The first time they sent the whole shipment of pistols back with the mags. 🤦♂️
that's B.S.. Good thing you had 2 with your Blue. Good video. Take care!
Thank you Bill you too mate and have a merry Christmas.
Blinking to the cool fire smh
Man, you gotta talk a little faster...
what a freaking accent
G'day mate. Thanks born and bred in Australia 🇦🇺.
Where do you come from and what do you shoot?
I just bought the shadow 2 blue red dot site ready....... was almost going to get the orange but it was a little more money than the blue.......but both are great looking guns and don't think you could go wrong either way
Gday Trevor. Yer mate you are right both are really good pistols. What discipline are you shooting with yours?
@@azzatac9763 haven't shot it yet literally just picked it up yesterday...... but I'm a very novice shooter...... so for now mainly for fun 😀
@@azzatac9763 And I'm still eyeballing the orange I keep thinking about really breaking the bank and grabbing it also......... it's a real sickness 🤣
Good stuff mate. Do you think you might want shoot practical pistol?
@@azzatac9763 i own several...... I have a kimber 1911 Super Cary pro....... gen 4 glock 17...... and a Beretta 92fs
