CZ Shadow 2 Compact

[allen1911]

Okay, just a little poll. Who else is interested in the newly announced Shadow 2 Compact. I plan to pick one up as soon as I can find one at a decent price (not above retail). Really cannot wait to try this out. What optic do you think would be a good fit?

It's super cool but misses the mark for me with and without certain features. Takes CZ75 15 round magazines, digging that aspect. Optics ready, well about damn time CZ. Essentially its a SA P01 without a firing pin block saftey. Hate the safety pref a 1911/2011 style on a carry gun it's just too small for most user's. Iam sure it shoots like a dream but a P-01 was purpose designed hammer fired firearm for carry and duty use not a race gun, also at least half the price if not more, priorities.

Nice looking weapon, this may be the time for me to own one.

What footprint does it take?

Looks like it takes mounting plates. I've seen what looks like EPS, Acro and I think RMR (might be RMR-CC) on pictures online.

I think a SRO would be good on it

Put me down for one.

This is exactly what I thought....

Let's take a competition/range type gun that has no firing pin blocking safety (if like the full size), weighs 30oz, and shrink it down.....why? They offer the P-01, 75 Compact, and PCR

High capacity micro/subcompact was what I wanted. Especially, if they could engineer it in da/sa like the P07.

Yea and its kinda dumb with the no firing pin block safety shiz not drop safe so u cant really carry it. Like my buddy just read to me a story of a rso (i think) that got killed by a shadow 2. Iirc the owner of a shadow 2 dropped the gun when he tried to holster it and it went off.

I just want them to make a threaded barrel sp-01 tactical or re-release the sp-01 urban. Getting a threaded barrel is stupid expensive for a cz.

Word on the CZ forum is that maybe they are trying to compete with the 2011s. They see everyone paying $1200+ for the fancy 2011 and they think they can snatch some of that market.

I always thought of shadows as a race gun. Never would carry one.

 

[allen1911]

I personally would never carry it with the hammer down, only cocked and locked. The DA pull would just be a safeguard for me if I have hard primer, of course I would probably just clear the malfunction by tapping and racking. Still interested in it because I like the way the CZ's feel in the hand. In the end, it is no less safe than a series 70 1911.

Okay, so I have some mental issue's...I have ordered holster, spare mags, optic plate, optic and CGW pro trigger package for I gun I don't have and can't seem to find for sale. I'm sick I tell you, SICK.

I've owned several CZ handguns from the Pre-B on up, mostly in 9mm and SA/SA. From Day 1, I've never been dissatisfied with any of them. I first bought one because it was significantly less expensive than my old friend the P35 HiPower but shared the same ergonomics including a frame mounted safety.

I'm not a competition shooter so the TS series never came home with me although they could be had as SA. I've shot several and they are a treat but out shoot me.

I bought a 75SA (SA75? You know what I mean.) and liked it a lot but then, when I went to replace some of my DA/SA version 75Bs with a couple more of the same, it disappeared from the CZ catalogue......

CZ's MSRPs have escalated and there are a host of decent quality P35 clones on the market now; those prices range from about $6-900 so that's where I think I'm headed. I've shot a couple of Springfields and will likely wind up with a couple of those (1 for me, 1 for DW) although I'm going to look at all the other pretenders to the P35 mantle.

Anyone who buys a CZ75 pistol is getting a great product; I've never been able to fault the engineering or build quality but, a reliable pistol for my style of shooting can be had for a lot less. That offsets holsters, mags, ammo etc etc.

I only have so much income to devote to such tools and activities which enters into it too.

You know you're going to acquire one so you're just prepping for the eventuality.

Foresight and planning are good traits to have.

There: don't you feel better now?

PSA got them in stock, so I ordered it. I also love the Springfield SA35. I had MK3 Firearms do a trigger job on mine and couldn't be happier. Haven't tried the Girsan version.
