I’m a similar fan of your statement! I’ll say that old is new again. Non polymers have always been a work of art to me.

Got one when it first came out. Gambled and it paid off. Easily the best shooter I’ve owned. I’m 70. Follow ups are incredible. Shot the center out of the target on first magazine and fell in love with it. It was like wow. This pistol shoots. It can be tricked up a bit but really it’s up to you. I’m a tritium guy. But dot people have to choose what they want.

I love my CZs, and the Shadow 2 Compact is my favorite because i carry it. My previous favorite in my collection was the Shadow 2 Orange

I love mine with the LOK palmswell bogie grips.

Definitely a cool pistol👍👍

Try the Lok grips with palm swell, fantastic grips. Made a substantial difference in mine.

A wonderful review. The polymers are a cool invention and at some moment, they were new and a great fad. But it was always guaranteed that it would be a fad that would fade away a bit later. The metals have lots of advantages and the extra weight is not such a bad thing. Otherwise this is the newest and best pistol that CZ offers now; hopefully in a year or a few years, there will be a better one again. A problem is that there are lots of CZ users satisfied enough with their good CZ P01, P07, P10 etc. and they are happily shouting that those must be the best because they don't know more expensive pistols like this one. Well, the richer people who don't see $1300 as a life-changing expense should simply buy this instead because it really is better in subtle ways that they should care about. And lots of poorer people would actually do well if they bought this one instead of 3 ordinary pistols. Or 1 ordinary pistol and a few bottles of alcohol. Or something like that.

Looks fantastic Chris. In the end one thing I like about my cz -p01 is I got it milled for the optic I wanted. I always go back and forth now on getting a gun that has a plate system. Certainly cheaper to get it factory cut but that just means more parts to fail and the dot is higher. 🤷‍♂️. At any rate gorgeous gun and if I had t tricked out my p-01 I’d be all over this one!!

Beautiful Gun Brother I am definitely looking forward to your range review on this one.

Yeah I love mine

Good content and awesome music!

Christian, your collection of cool guns seems to be endless!

Nice purchase. I hope you enjoy the pistol.

I own this gun and really like it. Also own the Langdon LTT 92G and the Wilson Centurion 92G. All are fine guns. The Langdon trigger job is superb but leaves you with a “hair trigger.” Thank you for doing your review without added accessories like optic and light.

Anyone else want a Shadow 2 micro next?!

Got mine earlier this month when the person that ordered it could not come up with the money so LGS sold it to me. 400 rounds with no issues, both FMJ and JHP. Trigger does seem to be better now with a few rounds through it. Very accurate, easy reasonably flat shooter. Also takes CZ-75 and Mec-Gar (CZ-75) mags. My 2nd CZ, have P-07 and really like both of them.

Hard to beat a CZ enjoy

You can also run b&t magazines in the CZ75 and SP-01.

Also I totally agree on these not having much room for racking the slide. I’ve had to go overhand and use my optic, not great…

Compact?!?! Now I know I need to move to a 2A friendly state so I can buy one of these I believe the CZ pro shop has an extended safety that fits all of the 75 variants including the Shadow

I would hold off on any polishing CZ triggers tend to get better with rounds down range, I have lost count how many I have through mine but trigger in SA is very light and smooth

👍👍... nice

I need one 🤤

I have just started my 1000 round reliability test on the CZ S2C. I am not sure if I will carry this one, but if I did I would have to replace the safety because I cannot disengage without changing my grip a little on the draw and that could be catastrophic for an EDC. Or else really change up my training with DA. I have replaced the grips with Lok Grip palm swell and used the ICM optic plate since it has a built in rear sight. I also had some trouble finding a holster from my usual selections. I got one from Slim Fit Holsters. Overall, I really like it just not sure if it will be anything more than a range queen. Kind of hard to bump the Sig P365 X Macro from my EDC spot for reliability, size and capacity.

I like the compact better than full size due to trigger placement.

Please read the owner's manual. Do NOT engage the safety in half cocked. It is not designed that way.

Did it come with the white lettering for the serial number? I haven't seen that on other examples...

❤️‍🩹🙏🇺🇸🙏❤️‍🩹

Aren't CZ's in the US made in kansas and Hartford?

I completely want something like this but only with the decock only lever, or with the convertible omega system.
