Gun Review Series: CZ Shadow 2 (E28)

If you like the CZ Shadow SP-01, you are going to love the Shadow 2! The Shadow 2 has been nicely redesigned and more importantly, the functionality of the enhancements are fantastic. In this review, I compare the Shadow 2 to the Shadow SP-01 to highlight the design changes / improvements and I also compare it to my Tanfoglio Stock III 9mm as it has been the CZ Shadows' brand competitor for some time. The Shadow 2 has definitely closed the gap between it and the Tanfoglio Stock III.

I also did an impromptu Range Review of the Shadow 2 -    • CZ Shadow 2 Review - Initial Impressi...   .

I was on the range chronographing some reloads for the Shadow 2 and I fingered I should do a quick "First Impression" of the Shadow 2. I only shot 60 rounds as it was a very cold day. I hope to get back to the range soon and put a few hundred through the gun and do a follow-up Range Report video.

The Shadow 2 definitely has some significant improvements and the one that really stuck me is the overall grip "package", as I call it: fore and back-straps enlarged checking and very sharp, deeper / higher undercut at the trigger guard and pistol grip, deeper cut into the grip and higher into the beavertail, and aggressive grip panels. Grip is very important to me and should be to all shooters so my hat is off to CZ for that major improvement with the Shadow 2's grip!

The Shadow 2 has certainly closed the gap on the Tanfoglio Stock III. The redesign and the enhancements / improvements to the Shadow 2 has more than levelled the playing field between these two guns. My Stock III is the standard model and in all fairness to Tanfoglio, a Xtreme Stock III would be a much better comparison but as I only own a standard model, that's the one I used to compare to the Shadow 2. For the most part, the key features can be compared between the two guns.
