Editor’s Note: "The CZ Shadow 2 boasts legendary accuracy, reliability, and shootability. Its ergonomics, phenomenal trigger, and added weight help make this one of the flattest, easiest shooting pistols on the market. If you are looking for an off the shelf ready competition gun, home-defense gun, or a fun range toy, there are few guns that do it better than the Shadow 2." - Johnny B.

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.
