Starting from scratch, CZUB engineers took the best features of the original Shadow and improved upon them. More than two years later, we’re seeing the fruits of their efforts. With a higher beavertail and undercut trigger guard, the shooter’s hand is able to be as close to the bore axis as possible. With a contoured slide, the majority of the reciprocating mass is also centered on the bore, equating to less muzzle flip. Increased weight at the dust cover/rail also helps keep the muzzle down. The Shadow 2’s swappable mag release has an adjustable, extended button with three settings to allow shooters to set it in the spot most comfortable for them. Best of all, new trigger components give smooth DA and crisp, clean SA while drastically reducing trigger reset. A hardy nitride coats the entire pistol, leaving it nearly impervious to corrosion, while the frame gets an additional layer of our black Polycoat finish. Thin blue aluminum grips have healthy checkering to match the fine front and backstrap checkering of the pistol itself.

A championship-level sport pistol developed in close cooperation with elite shooters on the CZ Shooting Team. Its parameters have been primarily optimized for competing in the IPSC Standard division and USPSA Limited division, but like other pistols in the CZ TS 2 series, it can also be used for other practical shooting disciplines.

The CZ Shadow 2 compact is an ideal, compact sized firearm that users and fans of the full-size CZ Shadow 2 models will celebrate. Sharing the same DNA as the CZ Shadow 2 with a reduction in size, and a significant reduction in weight, the CZ Shadow 2 compact retains the same key features, shooting comfort and accuracy that have contributed to the CZ Shadow 2 series being a popular choice for competitors in the IPSC production and production optics divisions. Its compact dimensions and light weight ensure comfortable all day carry and make it a perfect choice for concealed carry.
