CZ Shadow 2 Variations & Comparables
Beretta’s 92X Performance builds on the 92 platform but elevates performance with out-of-the-box ready competition features. The Extreme S trigger feels like a dream while the gun itself brings fast cycling to the table. It’s hefty, so be prepared for that, but at the end of the day, you want that in a competition gun for recoil purposes. All in all, this is a solid shooter.
The Canik TP9SFX is a true competition-ready pistol with a price tag that won’t break the bank. For under $600, you get a pistol that is absolutely packed with features. From its crisp trigger, its extended controls, to its ability to mount most standard micro red dots, the TP9SFX is more than willing to stand up against its higher-priced competitors. You aren’t likely to find a more accurate and easy shooting gun for the price, and if you are looking to dip your toes into competitive shooting or just want a great shooting range gun or home defense pistol, the TP9SFX might be the ticket.
“The CZ P-01 is a small pistol that doesn’t know it. Most smaller guns feel like small guns, but CZ found the magic though and built the P-01 so that it’s smaller but doesn’t feel like it. Between an excellent cold hammer-forged barrel and outstanding design, it is the most accurate compact I have in my safe. While there is an argument to be made that it isn’t as important as some might claim it is, the P-01 has a very low bore axis. Combined with the metal frame and it simply eats recoil. Everything about the P-01 adds up to being a great pistol.” – David Lane

final verdict
“With a strong competition lineage dating back to the original CZ-75, the CZ Shadow 2 is no stranger to high round counts, exceptional accuracy, reliability, great ergonomics, and bringing home the gold. Although the Shadow 2 is an extremely heavy gun, coming in at 46.5 ounces, this is part of what makes it such a pleasant shooting experience. The extreme weight of the gun, combined with its extended beavertail and undercut trigger guard, makes this gun a breeze to shoot and seemingly impossible to miss with. There is plenty of aftermarket to tune this gun to any shooter’s preference. But for me, I found that a new set of palm swell grips was all I needed to feel completely dialed in. The only downside to this gun is the cost, but trust me, saving for this bad boy is well worth it.” – Johnny B.
