    Picked one up, urban grey and had the inside rail paint you noted. It’s inside. And barely overlaps the rail. The gun is lights out, well made and the trigger, accuracy and finish are amazing. I researched this one for six months including watching your reviews. Hardest thing was finding one ! Put 300 rounds already and it’s getting better..... great produc, adjustable elevation rear sight and again, trigger reset is out of the box fantastic. Thanks for your video....

  • @sand-paper-pistol-grips8248

    I'm real proud for you Kotaboy32 having your own Shadow 2. I shot mine today with my supervisor and some other friends. Everybody fell in love with it. Best shooting pistol I own. The only thing I had to do to mine out of the box was to bring the rear sight up two clicks. Everybody that shoots my Shadow 2 can hit the target (usually at anywhere from 45 to 100 feet with ease. Can't wait to see the video of you getting to shoot it for the first time!

  • @Baldcurious
    @Baldcurious Před 6 lety +6

    I like extended safety , started shooting on 1911s and always rested my thumb on safety and I'm used to that . Also forces higher grip . As far as slide release , you never gonna use it . In USPSA you don't wait for slide lock to reload and I'm pretty sure this baby will send the slide home when full mag is slapped in .

  • @chgofirefighter
    @chgofirefighter Před 6 lety

    I purchased the exact same firearm, had it professionally tuned, trigger job, new springs, guide rod springs, etc etc.. Locally from my gunsmith, the Shadow 2 makes you look good and shoot even better. Even a novice shooter can shoot the Shadow 2 great and I have several STI's, and the CZ outshoots the STI. But the STI's are nice as well~ Good video!

    I thought about sending my bland ole SP-01 to CGW or CZ Custom shop for some trigger work but after shooting it for a year or so I found that it was one of the best semi auto triggers that I've shot. Bad boy is staying stock.
    I think you're smart to start in DA and transition to SA like the gun is designed but I'm no comp shooter.

  • @clintfella3541
    @clintfella3541 Před 5 lety +1

    The slide serrations are just that--slide serrations--not lightening cuts. Ligtening cuts are what you'd see on the also fabulous Sig P320 X5. The serrations were made more aggressive because they weren't quite deep enough to get a good grip on. I don't think weight reduction was ever a motivation there, especially since they very intentionally made the pistol heavy for competition.

  • @InSightFreedom
    @InSightFreedom Před 6 lety

    Wow. It's a CZ Shadow 2. Question answered on the why 🤓 Damn sexy and sweet gun. Shocked about the finish issue. I'll guess that finish drop will be gone after you get to the range and run her through the ringer.

  • @PopsQuest
    @PopsQuest Před 6 lety +3

    In USPSA and 3Gun you never go to slide lock if you plan your mag changes, IDPA is where the starting in DA is useful to keep the safety out of the way. Don't worry about the finish on the inside that thing is gonna looked beat to shit after next year, LOL I hope I get to do some shooting this weekend, I will try the 12 round drill, Great comparison review video!

    • @supertruckertom
      @supertruckertom Před 6 lety

      A thousand rounds through mine in the first three weeks. Now I am searching for the perfect load. If you use a truncated cone flat point like a Berry's #00355 it will be a relatively short OAL. Very short leade on the CZ. Round nose bullets will seat out further. Have some recoil springs to try out now to match to the load.
