  • Today Chadd talks about the Shadow Systems XR920. So far it seems to be a reliable weapon and does have some advantages over Glock, however there are still a few issues Shadow Systems will have to work out. Watch here to see the good and bad.

    The optic cut is universal and fits almost all different red dots without using plates, much better than the Glock MOS. I really enjoy my DR920.

      Yep,I have the cr920 and it's the best pistol I've ever had out of 7. The mags eject really well, good trigger and the Red dot mounts directly to the slide and you can cowitness with regular sights. Guns and Ammo did a test and really tried to make it malfunction with different grain and type of ammo in the same mag. They eventually got it to malfunction once and could not get it to repeat any malfunction. The one that did, they were barely holding the gun. So I really like mine.

      I wish you read the manual before giving out a review. Its not a MOS system you need no plates and its universal with the spacers it comes with. And the back straps changes the angle of how you point the gun when you aim. Not like glock that just add bulk for no reason. The only thing I give you is that the pmag do actually suck go oem and youll be fine.

    Shadow systems are awesome. Truth is, they exist because Glock won't do what Sig does. Take a great platform and make it better, IE triggers, magwells, slides, barrells, etc. Glock would increase their market share SIGNIFICANTLY if they would just offer their products with the upgrades todays shooter wants. IMHO...

      Exactly, they are falling behind. Fan boys get pissed about it, but it's true. Glock came up with the most innovative pistol, yes others did copy the concept but some are making it better, while Glock refuses to make the pistol better and just selling based on the name alone. Just like Armalite designed the proven AR platform, then sold it to Colt. When others started manufacturing the AR15, they made them better. Decades later, very few people look for Colt when they are shopping for AR's. I have M&P's with several thousand rounds of steel case ammo through them, no issues. I have a G19 that stopped and needed parts replaced around 400 rounds, a $0.02 plastic part stopped so-called perfection.

      Glocks are great pistols, I have owned Glocks since the early 90's. But when people have the option for a more comfortable pistol with better triggers, more factory options and just as reliable as the Glock, Glock will fall behind in the market.

    Not an MOS, the screws go deeper and no plate is needed, so you can co-witness more easily. I know you may love it more with experience. I have both, the rear sight alone give you a larger grip. Thanks for your initial impressions. The magpul mags have never failed me? I prefer the glock mags as they give me more confidence with the steel lighners. But I have both and have yet to have any failures, but I use brass ammo. The trigger reset is faster than my Glock. the rear angle change for me lets the 920 point more like a 1911, again a matter of tast. Thank You.

    Great review, thank you.
    I own the XR & MR, and can confirm the co-witness ability with a RMR/RDS due to the unique mounting cuts SS has. If you have an RMR cut optic, or event the more popular RDS' - you won't need a mounting plate. To me, the mag release is a bit "anemic," & empty mags don't eject cleanly all the time so I swapped them out. Idk if I got lucky, or what, but both of mine came with 3 mags & a case with a 5 mag holder.

  • @kcjones_ddd
    @kcjones_ddd Před rokem +22

    I recently purchased the XR920 elite, and the MR920L. Shadow Systems recommends a break in period of up to 200 rounds as the tolerances of the gun are very tight, and it needs time to break in. I ran 150 rounds through them (combined), and had 2 failure to feeds with the MR920L, but no failures with the XR920. My ammo used is Blazer 115 grain brass case ammo. I am a HUGE fan of these guns.

    Hey Chad, thank you for the informative and entertaining videos as well as your years of service to this awesome country that I love.
    This is not to be a “know it all” by any means, im sure that under stress, you shoot far better then I do, and overall your knowledge in the areas of firearms and tactics is 1000x that of mine.
    I am however a certified (NRA) pistol instructor and I do have a lot of experience with both glocks and shadow systems pistols
    As an early adopter of the shadow systems platform (MR920 in March 2020 was my first shadow) i do know a lot about their design and I wanted to supplement all that you have offered with a little bit of knowledge that i have acquired about these SS pistols.
    Mainly the red dot mount, is not at all a standard MOS mount. As you know the MOS system requires different plates to attach different optics and inherently this design, coupled with the extractor plunger and spring, require the mounting screws on a MOS pistol be very short screws and this also results in a dot that sits kinda high on the gun. This SS design will allow for direct mounting of many of the dots on the market today with out mounting plates and by the fact that they have modified the extractor plunger system, the mounting screws go almost to the bottom of the slide. The result here is a connection so strong that you could drive nails with your red dot, and a dot that sits much lower on the pistol giving the user a better sight picture and a co witness with iron sights that are only slightly taller than standard sights. This also means that holster selection is made easier in that suppressor sights are not needed for a co witness as they usually are with most mounting systems
    I wont go on and on other than to say that the mag situation is what it is. SS has developed their own mag for the new sub compact pistol, and it is a metal mag. Not sure what this will mean in the future for the standard double stack 9mm mags from SS but they are now manufacturing magazines. I have not experienced much trouble from the magpul mags but i will say i dont run very much steel ammo. I do like the fact that the magpul mags have a thicker baseplate allowing for easier removal of the magazine when the magwell is installed on the pistol in terms of a type 3 malfunction etc. A standard glock mag will almost be impossible to remove from the gun when the magwell is installed if the gun binds itself up during a malfunction. Also the mag release button has been slightly enlarged but its so slight, many don’t even notice but its a nice future. I happen to like the serrations on the slide but to each his own, I totally agree with your assessment on the front (forward) serrations.
    Anyway thank you for all you do, have done, and continue to do for us, our country, the 2A community and all of us believers in Christ. He is the most important thing always and your faith in Him is really what brings me to your videos more than any other thing, all of which are great and you talk about many topics that are interesting to me but none more than the Faith. God bless you, your family, your viewers, and staff that helps bring these videos to us all. God bless this great country and all of the people around the globe. Thank you Chad!

    I built a custom Glock and it won't function with factory Glock mags. I have a timney trigger installed and the trigger bar rubs on factory mags but if you look at magpul mags there's clearance there for the trigger bar. There's also some weird issue with the firing pin not setting the primer off on some ammo. I bought a cheap upper parts kit but I'm installing a aftermarket pin from shadow systems because they are machined steel instead of cast.

    I have a new XR920 with a Holosun 570 sight. SS warns that due to the extremely tight tolerances in the gun, it may need 200 rounds to break it in. I have run 170 rounds through it so far with no issues whatsoever. I did have challenges zeroing the red dot, as it was shooting a foot low and 7 inches left out of the box. I also have a Glock 19 Gen 3 with some mods (sights, barrel, stippling). It has a Timney trigger, which is a game changer for me. I’m going to give the XR920 1000 rounds and evaluate before considering installing the Timney.

Was flawless 0 malfunctions of any sort. Used p mag and Glock 17 mags. Wouldn’t have any problem carrying it. I do need to run some SD ammo they it though but I expect it to run fine

    I wish the rear sight had a couple of tritium dots. I feel like they went the cheap route. I’m old school and prefer traditional 3 dot. Plus at night they help immensely.

    How does 3 of 7 feel about Red Dots? In my experience, it's difficult to transition from iron to Red Dot. Plus, I love the true reviews, instead of trying to sell a product.

      Save your money Zev really isn’t worth the price. Spend it on a shadow system or for the same price buy a cz shadowfall that’s way better than any zev pistol or get the shadow system you want and an optic.

    i run all my glocks with P mags at the range. they seem to run great for me. that being said, i only carry oem . i tested a few shadow systems glock clones and the only way i'd be happy with them would be with a johnny glock combat trigger. i like the feel of a stock gen 5 trigger compared to the SS trigger.

    Shadow Systems will send you a replacement pistol if your in a justified shooting so that pretty 2A of them in fact I don't see any other companies doing that. Add they do all the upgrades for cheaper on pretty much a glock clone but you can change the point of aim based on back strap used and well it's nice

    The two real benefits to the Shadow Systems I think are the propriety optics mounting system, which doesn't use plates and the screws go all the way thru the slide, and the back straps. They actually change the grip angle vs just making it bigger. In my opinion if you're not going to put an optic on it then I really wouldn't spend the extra cash for it.

    The optic cut is one of the best features over Glock MOS system. It fits a lot of the common optics directly without the need of a mouting plate. Screws are bigger and longer. SS redesigned the slide to allow it. Personnaly after a couple hundreds of rounds, I found the trigger setteling and is WAY smoother than out of the box. I prefer it to a Glock.
