I believe Andy did not mention; It also has a small hex grub screw in the trigger, which limits the depth of the triggerpull (the "overtravel" if you will). A sweet little detail also, among others.. I just love this pistol. I truly waited lots for it to be released. Bought the airsoft version first, as the release of the 4.5mm airgun version took a bit of time for some reason. The only thing considered annoyingly plasticky, is the buttplate of the magazine, which can be felt as a bit loose on some magazines. Talking about ASG... Well then: definitely check out the new *ASG* *US-C* *1911* pistol! New mechanic stuff introduced there. Gas effiency with power - along with a short triggerpull finally introduced on a blowback pistol there!

I own the standard version of this gun and I have to say it's the most comfortable of the bunch. When it comes to ergonomy I've always been a 1911 guy. This one beats the 1911 regarding comfort by just a tiny bit. Fits like a glove. The one downside though is the the magazine BB slider. It is full plastic and will break quite easily if you let it snap back. So be very careful when loading your mag.

Having shot the real steel at the range the other day I was surprised when my friend showed me the BB version. There is literally no difference in weight, looks and function. The CZ are always very well engineered and the replica by ASG is no exception to this. Well done ASG and as always another cracking review by Andy

Hello Andy, not everything you test is of particular interest to everyone BUT your reviews are always carried out in a formative and professional way. Thanks for your dedication.

With your precise, to-the-point content and fun presentation, this channel is a treasure. After 40 years of pause, I returned to airguns, and many things have changed. We have so many choices these days! Good, but it can also get quite confusing. That's where your brilliant content really helps. Subscribed

Nice to see good design & shooting details, and some mass and real metal in an air pistol. And to see such a handsome pistol that hasn't been "Hollywoodized" or "militarized" (stopped playing soldier when I was 10 yrs. old). Just a pleasing design w/form following function. Gee, ASG - how about a pellet version? Andy, thanks for another thoughtful, interesting review.

I've always looked down on BB guns because of the ricochet problem but with this CZ being accurate with the frangible rounds I can see it as a good indoor practice pistol. Time to save up again.

Thanks Andy, another informative review! It's great to see you getting a hands on with one of our most popular airgun pistols. I am looking forward to seeing you get hold of more of our products going forward. If you're interested in getting some more 'exclusive' hands on with things, let me know. I can get Clark on the case for you 😉 -JB

dont think ive seen a co2 pistol with as much positive feed back as this one and for good reason,andys take is spot on ; i myself have pretty much examples of most current co2 rep pistols and this one exceeds all others in all dept, it is a fun pistol but it goes a little further in so far that if you want to hit a target more consistently it is more realistically achievable. and this is a big and is prone to less misfires which for any mag fed is always a nagging possibility and on some models destroys their appeal also a blockage will push worn seals over the edge and provoke leaks ! so dont be tempted to hope continuous cycling will remove blockage it will make it worse and possibly wreck seals. . .interestingly most mods from 01 to 02 are aesthetic so mags are compatible as is the slide although not quite the same fit....very underrated in my opinion.

Love the looks of this pistol! Great review as always Professor Andy!

I have the original CZ75, and it's really nicely made. It's also the closest I could find to a Browning HP, which I wish they would make.

Very nice. These companies do such a great job recreating modern pistols for the airsoft community.

Good morning people . Nice peice of kit Yes I heard the buzzard

These are really close to the real thing ,ideal for training . I have both

Bit low on the velocity front at under 300 FPS with steel BB 's.While it's not all about power power does affect accurate shooting at a distance and crawling projectiles are going to be dropping quickly.

Definitely check the ASG CZ-P07 pistol. Equal realism, easy load of co2 and great accuracy. I manage to get coin-sized groups from 9 meters with the non-bb version. I love it! And its little 'striker' brother, the Bersa BP9cc.

❤ the Shadow2!!!

Yes ... Very nice .

Another informative review. Good morning, Friday and AAR viewers...later watching than usual...pesky work getting in the way.

Please do a review of the Walther ppks please Andy

Many thanks Andy for another great video full of surprises and interesting facts. Have a great day and stay safe, Joe

I have the shadow 2 and 1. I almost prefer the 1. But they are both excellent and have compatible mags

Are you planning on reviewing the snowpeak p35 behind you? I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

The only issue I've had with my Shadow 2 is if the seals go in the magazine it is completely impossible to buy a replacement. Oh they'll tell ya they can order one, they can even take your money.....but you ain't getting one. You have to pull a sneaky magazine swap instead...

Morning Andy, Great review.

@13:00 Yes I can hear it :-)

what about the Orange that came this year? what are the differences? I wrote them and asked if they could make either a Pellet diabolo orange shadow 2 or a paintball Shadow 2 like the Umarex new Glock paintball pistol... and they actually directly replied me that they will have a discussion about this with the team in Denmark and will consider it.... but what to get for this year is my question? I either want a very precise pistol for dynamic shooting sport training at home with pellets that can mimic a real gun for quick reloads, , precise shooting at dynamic shooting targets etc or a paintball gun that one can mimic self defence scenarios with while training with other people with, so to do Krav Maga techniques and when freed to shoot draw a training gun like a paintball gun to fight off the perpetrators in such training scenarios for self defence with... what then to choose in mid 2023?

Top of the morning everyone

I have this pistol and the CZ75. Real nice.

I would carry one of these on me ONLY if I have a gold chain on too 😂

Nice looking pistol

Para disparar a 10m cualquier pistola de airsoft disparará mucho mejor que una de bbs metálica y encima con mucha más personalización y repuestos y uogrades que hará que disparé mucho mejor que cualquiera de bbs metálicas....

I understand you are airgun channel, but you should review the Ekol ASI Full automatic Blank Firing Submachine Pistol

Morning Andy, Id like to see you try some excite copper coated lead bb’s. They are low richochet and a lot cheaper than dust devils.

Great review but a shame it's not available as a pellet gun!

Great video as always Andy. I have two of these blowback bb pistols, the glock 17 gen 4 and the hk usp and both now jam up as soon as they've fired the first mag and the co2 presure drops slightly so wont be investing in any more of them sadly!

P35 in the background........ that is interesting😉

Pellet version and I'll buy it instantly.

I like it alot too

"There's a buzzard up there, let's keep it in range....I mean eye shot" lol

Good one brother.

Friday mornings with Andy are always on the list, thanks for the review. Any chance you can get your hands on the ATA Airborne.177 which is now available in the UK? Just a thought, keep them coming, stay safe 👍😎

It's am airsoft gun modified to use 4.5 mm bbs. ASG have made the airsoft version for a few years. Have you ever seen hop up on an airgun? I have both version and they're identical. Which isn't a bad thing.

New to this channel. Andy, I like the way you talk

i have the cz p09 non shadow version and i really like it, will deffo be getting the shadow 2 aswell i think

So stupid not to put a simple notch in the BB loading slot so the spring can be held while loading. This would have been so easy to have provided.

Looks great.... as accurate as a shotgun in the review, maybe it's better when tweaked.? I don't expect super accuracy from a BB replica but some semblance of it (for me) is mandatory.

good morning

Cracking video as always 😊 is there a Lugar pistol you could recommend? 😉

i own this and it is top quality

Heard the Buzzard....Nice gun..

I looked up the dust devil mk2 and apparently I have purchased them before and they still have the band around the bb

I wish they could make a PCP replica pistol somehow... Would cost more than the real deal at that point though. Would have to be a crazy area in there to hold air

This looks fun. I kinda want to get one and see how it compares to the real deal trigger wise. Maybe tinker with it.

That irish fella again Rick O'Shey.

Is this CZ made by the CZ in Czechia?

Do you think this bb pistol is comparable to Umarex Beretta 92A1? Unfortunately, where I live in the US, the CZ Shadow 2 air pistol costs twice as much! Do you think it's worth it?

Now I have it several months and I begin to be disappointed. The accuracy is not good. Of course, maybe I m not good either. But I can shoot a beer can with Umarex Beretta M 9 from 20 meters and my results in the shooting center are not that bad (I shoot with 0.22 guns). But with this one I tried also short distances, like 6 meters and feels like Im blind. Or maybe I had just some bad days.

It's like the real one. Forgive a stupid question from a Colt CZ shareholder: does ASG or who produces it pays some royalties to the Colt CZ Group? How much?

Is there any way to get a replacement magazine as I've seen to have lost mine, links would be helpful

Looks nice thing. I have one question from Andy as he is very knowledgable. Airsoft pistoles comes with with built in gas reservoir which mean no need for CO2 cartridges. Why this technology is not available in air pistol or are there any which I am not aware off thanks

how can you do so many pistol reviews and still haven't figure out how to pour bbs straight from the container xD

Sorry I would not go for this at since it is jus BB gun bla .. make it pellet gun yes in both calibers , now your talken mate !

Morning all

Re: The safety. Load the mag, don't cock the hammer.....pull the trigger. The hammer will come back and the weapon will discharge. It's just a 6lb pull now, rather than a 2lb. The safety catch, as Andy says, only works when the hammer is cocked.....which is a flaw IMO.

Please review the 1911 we the people

Personally, I would be a bit nervous, having buzzards circling over MY head!!! 😂

one of the worst i had, after three magazines shot, slide lock stoped to lock back, outer barel cracked and slide lock pin started to have problems going back oin the pistol after asambly

That Doe's Luck Nice 👌Cheers Andy

Excellent review. Why do you not mention copper coated lead BB`s?

Hi love how informative you in your reviews have you reviewed the ATA airborne? I've been going threw you videos and can't see one

The steels must cause more wear on the barrel 🤔… wonder if the “action air” bunch could put a red dot sight on the slide 🧐

Just wondering how many times you have to say not for pest control as some goon I worked with said his BB was brilliant at rat work.great work Andy presenting this but low power BB not my thing👍

3 words "Blue hand grips"

Muy bueno el video como siempre , like de tu suscriptor y saludos desde el mediterraneo.

Hi Andy I have a budget of 400-500 for a full pcp air rifle kit. Any recommendation? For target practice and the occasional pest control. I can also go for a CO2 if you advise to. I had a spring air rifle years back, that is my experience in air rifles.

Hi. is adjustable hop up mechanism really useful ?

Nice!

Is there anything else being produced other than co2 pistols?

The blue grip spoils it a bit for me. Just personal preference I know. Did you mention the price? Sorry if I missed that bit.

Wow, I had NO idea CZ even ventured into the air gun market.

Is it double action, like the standard CZ75?

When are these manufacturers going to make a pistol to the UK legal limit? Were just fobbed of with toys even though good fun they need to up there game. Good video as always keep them up.

Andy i have been watching you reviews now for a few years, and I would love see a comparison between high end and low end springers, incorporating pellet choice and hold sensitivity. To be honest i own both an air arms pro sport and an smk th208, also throw in a bsa meteor bsa made in Birmingham, no it not the old the spend more get more I really love shooting all of them and for different reasons. But i feel it would really be interesting to get your take on this, the "weaponised hippie" has some very good input but i would like to see this from another point of view, both of which I would add I have a great deal of respect for. Now i am not talking about the rifles i have mentioned and nor do i want to impose, but i would love to see a collabartion and test results, chrono and pellet sorting and effect on accuracy. also a lot more but i am really want to just open the debate and leave to you to open up this debate # best regards

Is there a pistol like that, that fires pellets without the blowback and is accurate. But not just 8 rounds the full 17? And metal and accurate? Or am I just dreaming? I like the idea of a more sophisticated gun like this but with a more accurate pellet firing mechanism and a rifled barrel. I have a SW m29 it's really quite good, but would like a larger shot count.

goodmorning all!

Please mention up front when you are reviewing a BB gun. That way I can quickly move along to something else. This video didn't reveal that this gun shoots only BBs until 2 1/2 minutes into it.

Not sure about this. For a "target" pistol, the results are not that impressive. Lots of spin adjusting needed? The attraction is more about a replica of a famous gun?

I had REALLY high hopes for the ASG CZ 75 and I thought to myself it this gun shoots as good as it looks I will purchase the Shadow 2. That was until the first time I shot it! Accuracy was absolute garbage for a $150 gun. After seeing your groups at 10 meters there is NO way I will spend $300 when I can purchase a Crosman for $50 and get that kind of accuracy!

Thought he was gonna shoot the buzzard 😮

Mmmmm nice gun as a replica but personally i think its a shame that a replica of a gun that is comp gun is co2 BB. It perhaps should have been pellet with a rifled barrel.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Time you got some magazine loading aids and save your fingers.

You lost me at BB firing

I love the Sport of shooting for target practice and hunting but I can't help feel that these type of pistols in the wrong hands could only result in no good. I would personally Ban them

Shotgun performance

Now Then.

💪 Promo sm

You mentioned, the gun is made out of metal. Please be more precise.

Disappointing to see yet another inaccurate plinking gun. Not something i have an interest in. I would be good to include a little more balance with some higher-end kit reviewed along with budget and these pistols
