CZ has long been known for creating accurate, easy-to-shoot handguns, and the SHADOW 2 has a storied history as a sport pistol that has helped shooters rack up win after win on the world championship stage. Of course, the first thing that American shooters asked for upon its release was a compact version suitable for concealed carry. That's the driving force behind the new CZ SHADOW 2 COMPACT. The latest member in the CZ family of high-performance pistols, it was designed with the same instinctive fit as the CZ SHADOW 2. Think of it as a "little brother" to CZ's flagship gun, and you'll understand why this 9mm pistol has been so hotly anticipated.
As with all models in the CZ SHADOW 2 series, it is constructed from advanced materials and comes with match-ready features. The overall size of the CZ SHADOW 2 COMPACT is 7.5 (L) × 1.4 (W) × 5.4 (H) inches. A light and strong forged 7075 aluminum frame shaves precious ounces off the total weight, bringing its weight down to 2 lbs. (It still offers a 15+1 carrying capacity, though!) As a result, it’s the perfect choice for all-day carry and concealed carry.
Like the full-size CZ SHADOW 2, it features a butter-smooth trigger pull (single action 3.4 pounds; double action 10.3 pounds) and shortened reset, allowing for quick and accurate follow-up shots. It comes with a 4" barrel that glides quickly from holsters while still achieving impressive ballistic performance. Racking the CZ SHADOW 2 COMPACT’s slide from various positions is easy and intuitive, thanks to deep-cut front and rear cocking serrations.
Want to add a reflex optic? The rear of the slide is equipped with an extremely low and robust mounting interface for the attachment of a red dot sight. In fact, its mounting interface is identical to what is found on the CZ SHADOW 2 OR model, and is compatible with the same mounting plates. Shooters who prefer running standard sights will appreciate its high-visibility fiber optic front sight for aiming in all lighting conditions and height-adjustable rear sight for precision.
Right- and left-handed shooters are equally at home with its low-profile ambidextrous manual safety and reduced height magazine release button that can be swapped from side-to-side. The CZ SHADOW 2 COMPACT also includes other features that are shared with the full-size CZ SHADOW 2, such as a spacious trigger guard, checkered grip and dust cover with accessory rail for mounting lights and other devices.
