The CZ Shadow 2 is the steel framed DA/SA pistol that CZ builds for sport shooting, a heavy, low recoiling 9 mm that comes out of the box ready for a match. It is sold with a standard slide and as the Shadow 2 OR with a factory optics cut. Owners usually change three things: the sight picture, the trigger feel and, more and more often, they add a red dot.
A red dot on the Shadow 2 OR
The OR cut takes a plate, and the choice is the widest of any pistol in our range: plates from CZ and six other makers, for nearly every pistol optic footprint on the market. Impact Machine also makes plates with a rear sight machined in, one of them with the rear moved forward, so a backup iron sight stays on the gun. The full selection is in Optics ready plates for CZ Shadow 2.
A red dot on a standard slide
A Shadow 2 without the cut can still run a dot: Red dot mounts for CZ Shadow 2 holds mounts from EGW, KMR, Zendl, Toni System, Outer Impact and Eemann Tech that sit in the rear sight dovetail, most of them shared with the SP-01 Shadow.
Sights
LPA adjustable sights in fiber optic, white or luminescent dots, Zendl rears and 7.5 mm front sights, and a front sight filler for shooters who aim with the dot alone: Sights for CZ Shadow 2.
Trigger and internals
Eemann Tech competition springs lighten the trigger, sear and trigger bar, a 19 round MEC-GAR magazine spring keeps feeding even, and a low profile safety sits out of the way of a high thumb. Look under Springs for CZ Shadow 2 and Safeties for CZ Shadow 2; there is also a stop plate tool in Tools for CZ Shadow 2 and a training frame in VR frames for CZ Shadow 2.
