Shot my second match with the Shadow 2. My regular gun(s) like Glock, Sig, S&W get a “C” compared to this gun. I’m not a fanboy and this is my first CZ. It puts a smile on my face. Even at this price point, it’s worth every penny. It’s just special and feels special when you run and gun it. Five stars!
efred22 That is the best comment. It drives me nuts when I hear the stereotypes about how women can go but all these designer clothes/shoes for themselves, but men have to abide by the "don't tell my wife" way of life. You don't like me spending money on a gun, provided it's not an irresponsible purchase and we can afford it, tough shit. (If you have to wait for payday to but something, that means you can't afford it.) I see guys saying , "when I get paid on Thursday, I'm going to buy one of those," all the time. Like dude, if a paycheck is standing between you buying something, you can't effen afford it. But you can't tell someone like that any type of financial advice because they're going to be living paycheck to paycheck for the rest of their lives. "Not all of us are in a relationship where we're treated like children" was the best way I've hear it put. Haha.
Well, to solve the problem with annoying wifes the best advice I can give is: Don't marry! Marriage only exists to give women financial security, it was never about love, it is a tool to control the husband to compensate for staying at home and raising the kid. For me the only security a woman should need is a child or two which will bind the parents together as long as the child lives and that should be more than enough commitment. If a woman is forcing you into marriage with tactics like "You don't love me if you don't want to marry me! Don't you trust me?!" then RUN!!! I don't know the laws in the US regarding marriage but if you should ever marry then only do it for the tax benefits and make a contract that will give the woman nothing at all if the marriage should break. Women want "equality" in every part of life no matter how much sense it makes? Then forget about marriage. Well I sound like some bitter cunt that made bad experiences but I think it is just reality with a few exceptions to the rule. Excuse my bad english, I am not a native speaker. Never fully trust your woman, only trust your own blood because that is the only thing which will bind you for life.
@@newera3757stupid question for you. I shot 250 in like an hour haha pistol got pretty hot. Do you think think I damaged the barell getting it hot in an hour with 250 or is it fine ? Accuracy changed a bit once heat started rising so I was curious
@eazy_e.7153 You'll be fine. Accuracy changed because of you. Probably you get tired, and you changed your grip a little. Not because 250 rounds in 1 hour. Gun is more accurate than all of us if free handed, no support.
@eazy_e.7153 30 - 45min, but speed was not my objective. This is what happens when you have unlimited access to the shooting range. Ammo goes like water.
Yeah... I know how it goes. A couple of weeks ago I received a message from my LGS asking if I was interested in a Shadow 2. She knows I’m a CZ addict and she also knows I was looking for a 1911 which she just happened to have a couple under the glass at her shop. So now I’m a happy owner of a Shadow 2 and a Colt Government Lightweight. She’s is one hell of a great sales lady.
These are awesome. The CZ 75 design is so versatile and can be adapted to any role anyone would ever need to fill with a handgun. I just bought a new P-01 Decocker and ordered CGW's pro package along with a bunch of other upgrades. I'm so excited to get everything put together.
Eric, I bought one a few months ago. Man O man. Shocked me even though I knew it was an awesome shooter. No firearm i ever bought before ever shot like the Shadow 2. This is my first CZ. I went big right off the bat and I'm extremely happy with it. It's lonely so i need to get a few other CZs added to my collection :). Thanks for the great Video.
It's been five years, how many CZs do you have now? They're addicting once you get your first hit lol. I got a P-10F and fell in love with it, enough to look into getting it another CZ brother, I wanted a Shadow 2 but when I went to look for one at the gunstore they only had an SP-01 Competition, which after some consideration and discussion with the employee I bought. And I'm glad I did, as much as I wanted a Shadow 2 I am incredibly happy I got the SP-01, after a number of modifications it is actually much better than a Shadow 2, it definitely scratched my Shadow 2 itch lol. I mirror polished everything that moves, installed a Cajun Gun Works SAO Standard trigger kit, Race hammer, Accubushing, match grade fluted threaded barrel, flat face adjustable trigger, extended firing pin, upgraded solid pivot pins, and reinforced firing pin retainer roll pin. And that's just the CGW stuff, I also installed a DPM Systems 3-stage recoil buffer paired with a CZC frame buffer pad, topped the threaded barrel with a Volker Precision MK2 compensator which I also ported out, I deleted the firing pin block, I drifted the rear sight out to install a dovetail red dot optic mount for the Shield RMS red dot, I shimmed the sear cage to the frame to reduce spring/mush in the trigger, I swapped the grips for CZC short grips and flared magwell, and I installed a Pic rail mounted gas pedal/thumb rest. Yeah I know I could have just bought a Czechmate but where's the fun in that? I got to build this one myself, much more satisfying seeing all your work come together lol. The thing is a friggin competition monster, the trigger breaks at 1.8 pounds with only .002" thou of creep, with a mere .049" thou of travel. It's unfortunate how expensive a CZ addiction is, I'm already considering getting TSO😂.
Finally found a Shadow 2 (urban grey) and jumped on it. After 150 rounds, adjusting the elevation sight screw, it is everything I’ve read, watched and researched. A heavy pistol, 9mm basically has no muzzle flip. The grip texture is awesome and it’s slightly larger than a government 1911. Can’t wait to run another 150-200 rounds soon. CZ’s are in demand.......
So I go to make my first purchase, last week for 4th of July 2020, etc. It's a FNX 45 Tactical, but California magazines. I go back after hold and I am holding it and it feels angry. I squeezed into those diamonds on the stippling it said you'll be sorry if you shoot me... so I am cleared to buy and I go around the corner of the case 3 CZ's sitting there 2 Shadow 2's and 1 Shadow Tactical, but California magazines again. I put the second CZ Shadow 2 in my hand and it fits like it's natural. Mind blown! I will revisit the FNX 45 Tactical later on in my journey and thanks for the great, relatable content you guys provide. Cheers!
I had the EXACT same happen to me. Went to a gunstore with a friend to look at a CZ SP01 for HIM. I walked out with the Shadow 2. So worth it, this thing is where it's at.
I've got a CZ-75 in 9mm, a CZ-85 in 40S&W and I compete in I.P.S.C open class with a Tanfoglio limited pro nine which is basically an Italian CZ . I have been shooting CZ design guns since the early 90s and love them, they just seem to fit the hand like they were made for you.
Just got mine two weeks ago. Awesome. I’m a 1911 guy but this thing is amazing! Love it. And my wife couldn’t believe how cheap it was. Only $299?!! Yup. See they’re made in Czechoslovakia hon, so stuff is cheaper. Ohhhhh 😜
A guy that worked at my old gun shop had an obsession with this gun. Now I see why. For steel guns I'm more of an M9A3 fanatic, but I might have to give this one a look.
I've had mine for two weeks. Only had a short time at the range. About 200 rounds. Awesome weapon. Had to adjust rear sight slightly. Really smooth. I should get even better when it really breaks in. And that color in the video. First CZ. Probably will go after more in time. Had to order a holster from the Czech Republic. That sucked. On the other hand it was at my door step with two weeks. Perfect fit. The after market really needs to catch up with the CZ 2. You are right on about the price. Was a little high. But worth it. Quality.
The CZ-75 started out entirely as a service pistol, but now the design can fit basically every single purpose that I can think of! Concealed carry? Got it. Duty? Got it. Competition? You bet your ass they make a variant that fits whatever role you want. The Shadow 2 is a piece of artwork, and I'm happy I finally own one!
The CZ 75 platform is a marvel of ergonomics. I have a 75 SP-01 Tactical with a red dot sight, and it's my favorite 9 of all time. I could shoot it all day, and anyone who's ever taken a turn with it at the range says something like "That's a keeper!"
I just orderd mine, in Urban Grey color. Immediately I orderd few upgrades for it, RC Tech 9pcs spring set, RRK kit or reach reduction kit, extended firing pin and spring, CZ SA/DA hammer and Armanov Spidergo gen2 grips. Can’t wait to fit all this pieces to it and then try it at the range. The Shadow2 with these upgrades is way better then Shadow2 Orange model which is way more expensive.
Everybody remembers the gun they shot before they got into CZ's. Mine happened to be a custom 1911 builder that was giving me a 3 month runaround on a 10mm double stack. I'd finally had enough, got most of my money back and went with my next choice, a Tanfoglio StockII. Man, did the CZ bug bite me hard! Dumped another 600 into upgrades and accessories, did my own custom HKish black cerakote, new grips, competition mags... Wish I could take that trigger and shoehorn it into my P09SR. Anyway, there's 3 things the Czech's don't mess up: Symphonies, churches and guns.
Love this gun, I bought two ( one in each color). Add some Cajun gun works or CZ custom parts and it's even more amazing. The best out of the box firearm for uspsa production.
Love my CZs. I have several of their 22 rifles, and couple of CZ 75s including the Shadow 2. Still getting used to the Shadow, but I really like it so far. Thank you for your honest reviews!
I own a CZ75 SP-01 all metal. It's heavy but shoots great. I would love the Shadow but, I can't see having 2 so similar. Definitely not a carry gun, although I have carried it.
Dang you guys! I have been petting one for 2 weeks at the LGS and wanted it every time I picked it up, now I need it....ok OK I will be getting one tomorrow.
Its fun to play with for sure, its a Ferrari for all intents and purpose. I keep it accessible in my study, might as well put those defense rounds exactly where I want them.
What I love about these videos where you boys got some new toys is that I see grown men all hyped up about new stuff they have.. And it's so universal, especially with firearms.. :D A few months back a friend of mine, a medical doctor no less and a very intelligent and multi talented person, bought himself a 3K/€ Blaser R8 rifle in 6,5x55SE with a magnificent, big-ass IOR scope and he just can't stop getting kicks out of it like all the time.. He is counting days for the first hunt he gets to take his new toy out for real.. :D
i just went to a gun shop, Keith sporting in Oregon, i feel the shadow in my hand, i love it, but it’s cost like $1199, wow, shadow 2 target little bit more$1499, but any way, i went home and view your channel i think i’m gonna go back to get it, i cannot go shoot now, my health conditions won’t let me, any way i always trust your channel, every time i wanna buy a new gun... thank you Eric and Chad, you’re guys is awesome... i wish i can see you guys in person.... thank you....
You are correct, when I miss it’s on me, the gun is deadly accurate. Mine is the same color scheme as the one in the video. You can’t understand how amazing this gun is until you shoot it, then you’ll get it.
It must be nice to live in a free state. I go into a store on Friday, spend my money for a gun, then have to wait 10 days to pick up the product I legally paid for. Thank you Comrade Brown and the rest of the Kommifornia legislature.
Really hope your channel stays around. I started watching on and off over 5 years ago I think, when I first started getting back into my guns. This video is what this stuff is about. Keep at it.
I somehow got lucky and traded my ar15 for a CZ 75 sp01 shadow ORANGE. Gun is just so beautiful. The trigger is like butter. You can just feel the quality. I will never get rid of this pistol.
DO NOT HANDLE ONE!!! EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE!! Happened to me too when I said no way, not another gun, damn, shot only one mag of 10rds and immediately sold off half of my collection and purchased one of these (black with blue grip). This is the one 9mm to rule them all, bar none.
My dad got me a glock 34 when i was 16 and i have had glocks my whole life. two years ago i sold one of my 19s for a p07 and i have not looked back slowly sigs and glocks disappear out of my safe and czs replace them. a cjw cz is amazing.
Control guns are great guns! I have a 686 that I bring to the range all the time. Like you said Eric, if you are shooting out you bring out the control gun to tell you if its the gun or you.
First time I ever shot one, I was ringing steel at 100 yards! CZ rep had it out and let me shoot the plate rack at 15 yds which was nothing! Told me to try to hit the plate at 100 and I said “yea, right”......he said “it can do it, if YOU CAN”.....oh, it’s on then! Sure as shit, ringing it out like it was nothing! This gun is AMAZING! I’ve got a new one sitting at my FFL waiting for me to finish paying off, as I type!
I love my P-01! I like it more than my 226, and obviously far more than my M9A1. All 3 are great handguns, but the CZ is my baby and shoots tighter groups without me even trying.
I know there are a number of companies that manufacture good firearms but I just pretty much stick with CZ and Czech made guns so there will never be any disappointments. I don't have a Shadow yet but give me a little time. 3 CZ 82's 2 VZ58's, 1 VZ2008, 1 CZ550 in 308, 1 CZ527 7.62x39, 2 CZ 75b's I LIKE CZECH MADE GUNS.
I walked into the local police supply by my department and the “pushers” there waved this thing in my face as I was picking up my M&P 2.0. I told them no thanks like three or four times.A week later, I’m walking out with it. It’s everything as advertised. One of the funnest shooting guns I’ve ever shot. Now that I think of it, it is THE funnest pistol I’ve ever shot. If you want a gun you have absolutely no justification to buy, this is the one.
I always liked CZ and wanted one. But I purchased based on usability. So a carry gun. Maybe some rifles to use in defense scenarios. CZ has been on my radar since I first shot an 85B combat. The trigger wasnt anything to write home about but I could run it fast due to the ergos and slide design. I'm now in a place to get a CZ and I might just jump straight to the top with this one. (Albeit I'm late to the party) really cool to see you guys excited about something that isn't the next best and greatest striker polymer wonder etc.
:Bees kness"...."Cats meow", all ya need is a felt Fedora & a Carnation in your boutineer for you 1940s routine bro Eric!! Nice pistol....i mean :gat" amigo! Mike.
Do you know what is quite sad ? Cz's that are made for Czech market and not the US are worse. Much worse. Like Scorpion EVO 3, All the 22LR Cz's and many of the 223rem. Bolt actions.They make them in the same building but from diferent materials and with diferent tools (For US market they make them with tighter fit, with smaller tolerances and all of that. And in the US most of the guns are cheaper than in Czech Republic...) :(
It's the undisputed king of USPSA Production division. And soon to be Carry Optics, now that they figured out how to mill it and lighten enough to meet the rules.
The ejection pattern on the pistol is near perfect. You could put a bucket on the table and they'd all fall into it. Although I wouldn't be too happy with the coating not being perfect for a $1000+ gun.
jUST BOUGHT THE aCCUSHADOW 2, MOST ACCURATE PISTOL i HAVE EVER SHOT AND HAS MADE MY GROUPINGS AND SPEED IMPROVE 10 FOLD. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS PISTOL AND AN AVERAGE PISTOL IS NIGHT AND DAY
I beg your pardon Eric, but this incredible S2 is my edc, and no one is the wiser. Its weight doesn't bother me other then leaning to the right like a drunken sailor.
Got my CZ collection up to 4 with the purchase of the P10C....loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I bought with no hesitation a few months ago! saw 0 reviews and Loved it! its heavy the way I like it for home defense lol seems like they implemented the ergs just for me
I´m from Germany and currently in the process of getting a allowance to buy a 9mm pistol and the shadow2 is top of my list. ceep in mind that I´m only allowed one 9mm pistol at a time. an with CZ you get a lot of gun for your money! just checked, its 1,199 Euro here
T Bear it’s really that bad in Germany? Oh crap. I know you are not allowed to carry like we can here in Slovakia and Czech republic, but come on. One gun only? What about reloading? Irony of this era - post socialism countries have more freedom than those we were always looking on and hoping once we will get to their level of freedom. Not anymore.
Well it's not as bad as you make it sound. Yes there are no carry laws for private citizens. But on the other hand, I live in the safest part of one of the safest countries in the world.... And now I realize that I made a egoistic anti-gun argument... Sorry... I feel bad now... But back on topic. I can have any gun that serves my purpose of sport shooting. So I can have basically any gun when there is a discipline for it! But, and there is the big but, semi autos and handguns I can only have one for each purpose/discipline. Bolt action and single shots I can have as much as I want.
The stupid sportshooting gun laws in Germany is the reason I made my hunting license, it is expensive but you have a lot more priviliges and less hassle than with the yellow wbk. You also learn a lot of interesting stuff about hunting and even the gun knowledge part is very extensive so I would definitely recommend it to you! In some states you can even own one silencer now (only one lol) as a hunter with no special need other than your hunting license... the only downside is 2 handguns max but unlimited longguns. I would love beeing able to carry, imagine civilians with the same or more training than police officers in Germany, it would get a lot safer in same parts of our country or at least we would be able to defend ourselves! I see a gun as a tool like a seatbelt, most people will never need it in their entire life but if you need it you don't want to miss it. So if civilians are highly trained or even better than police officers (which is not that hard to be honest...) then the risk is near zero of misusage. If it is not needed to ban something then it is needed not to ban it!
We Germans have lots of freedoms and very little worry's. Just not with firearms. Just try going to go to a public lake in the US with a six pack of beer and no boxer shorts or bathing suit :P
Show of hands... Who's likes CZ guns?
El Rico went to the shop to buy A Springfield Saint AR pistol. Left with a Shadow 2 (blue grips) instead.
smart very smart... discerning.

Discerning shooters choose CZ!

It's been two years since you commented, are you a fan boy yet?🤣 I only lasted a year after my first CZ, now it's the only brand I'll buy lol.
Did you really just admit the price on video!?!? MAN CODE DUDE my wife may hear me watching this. I've convinced her all my guns are under $300.
Lonnie Tingen I love it my wife new that I spent over 300 on a g34 I wooed be dead.

Shadow 2 blue or orange ?
I own the Black Shadow 2 with the blue grips and can not remember buying a pistol that so quickly became my favorite. Worth every penny.

Beautiful looking pistol
A guy that worked at my old gun shop had an obsession with this gun. Now I see why. For steel guns I'm more of an M9A3 fanatic, but I might have to give this one a look.

The CZ 75 platform is a marvel of ergonomics. I have a 75 SP-01 Tactical with a red dot sight, and it's my favorite 9 of all time. I could shoot it all day, and anyone who's ever taken a turn with it at the range says something like "That's a keeper!"
I just orderd mine, in Urban Grey color. Immediately I orderd few upgrades for it, RC Tech 9pcs spring set, RRK kit or reach reduction kit, extended firing pin and spring, CZ SA/DA hammer and Armanov Spidergo gen2 grips. Can’t wait to fit all this pieces to it and then try it at the range. The Shadow2 with these upgrades is way better then Shadow2 Orange model which is way more expensive.
Everybody remembers the gun they shot before they got into CZ's. Mine happened to be a custom 1911 builder that was giving me a 3 month runaround on a 10mm double stack. I'd finally had enough, got most of my money back and went with my next choice, a Tanfoglio StockII. Man, did the CZ bug bite me hard! Dumped another 600 into upgrades and accessories, did my own custom HKish black cerakote, new grips, competition mags... Wish I could take that trigger and shoehorn it into my P09SR.
Anyway, there's 3 things the Czech's don't mess up: Symphonies, churches and guns.
Love this gun, I bought two ( one in each color). Add some Cajun gun works or CZ custom parts and it's even more amazing. The best out of the box firearm for uspsa production.
Love my CZs. I have several of their 22 rifles, and couple of CZ 75s including the Shadow 2. Still getting used to the Shadow, but I really like it so far. Thank you for your honest reviews!
i once owned CZ-75 in 9mm makarov ....police surplus worn down to hell but great function and strong rifling
I own a CZ75 SP-01 all metal. It's heavy but shoots great. I would love the Shadow but, I can't see having 2 so similar. Definitely not a carry gun, although I have carried it.
"i put the gun in my hand"
and that is why you walked out of the gun store with a new gun.
just watching the brass bouncing off of the same place on the table makes me smile. the re-loader in me is happy. makes them easier to locate.
Dang you guys! I have been petting one for 2 weeks at the LGS and wanted it every time I picked it up, now I need it....ok OK I will be getting one tomorrow.
That pistol is a piece of art. I purchased by first cz-75b for IDPA and have not turned back. I have some cajunizing to do on it but I love CZ.
Its fun to play with for sure, its a Ferrari for all intents and purpose. I keep it accessible in my study, might as well put those defense rounds exactly where I want them.
Cz 75 and 1911 are my favorite platforms
CZ makes awesome handguns
What I love about these videos where you boys got some new toys is that I see grown men all hyped up about new stuff they have.. And it's so universal, especially with firearms.. :D A few months back a friend of mine, a medical doctor no less and a very intelligent and multi talented person, bought himself a 3K/€ Blaser R8 rifle in 6,5x55SE with a magnificent, big-ass IOR scope and he just can't stop getting kicks out of it like all the time.. He is counting days for the first hunt he gets to take his new toy out for real.. :D
Yes please show the differences between the new Phantom and the old!
Not too familiar with CZ but that's the most amazing slide I've ever seen. It's so small. Small as in low and height over bore...
Best out of the box gun ever. Worth every penny. Love it!
CZ is the king in my opinion! Awesome shooting
Eric, your cracking me up about range distances! Back in the day we were required to qualify with .357 mag revolvers out to 50 yards!
i just went to a gun shop, Keith sporting in Oregon, i feel the shadow in my hand, i love it, but it’s cost like $1199, wow, shadow 2 target little bit more$1499, but any way, i went home and view your channel i think i’m gonna go back to get it, i cannot go shoot now, my health conditions won’t let me, any way i always trust your channel, every time i wanna buy a new gun... thank you Eric and Chad, you’re guys is awesome... i wish i can see you guys in person.... thank you....
Get the Shadow 1. They are cheaper, but also fantastic guns.
Watching Chad's face light up after those first few shots was priceless.
Hope TH-cam doesnt start eating away at your channel with the new policy...
Same as you, I saw one on sale (go figure) and couldn’t stop myself. Sometimes you have to have the best.
Goddamn I miss Barry! Would love to see him shoot this CZ Shadow 2! : (
I absolutely love CZ pistols!
Typical CZ accuracy...Great video. Maybe someday I’ll have the pleasure of shooting this phenomenal handgun.
This CZ looks so nice!
You are correct, when I miss it’s on me, the gun is deadly accurate. Mine is the same color scheme as the one in the video. You can’t understand how amazing this gun is until you shoot it, then you’ll get it.
i just bought the CZ P-09 omega and MAN its awesome the trigger brakes like glass
It must be nice to live in a free state. I go into a store on Friday, spend my money for a gun, then have to wait 10 days to pick up the product I legally paid for. Thank you Comrade Brown and the rest of the Kommifornia legislature.
Really hope your channel stays around. I started watching on and off over 5 years ago I think, when I first started getting back into my guns. This video is what this stuff is about. Keep at it.
I just bought one of these pistols yesterday, and I can't wait to take it to a steel target or practical pistol match!
I somehow got lucky and traded my ar15 for a CZ 75 sp01 shadow ORANGE. Gun is just so beautiful. The trigger is like butter. You can just feel the quality. I will never get rid of this pistol.
Really Nice Eric This CZ Pistol is Absolutely Amazing 😮😀😀😊
Never seen you all shoot a pistol so well. That thing looks amazing. I would love to have one.
Made a rookie nomenclature error And didn't edit it out. I applaud you sir, we are all human. Beautifully made pistil, thanks for the video.
DO NOT HANDLE ONE!!! EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE!! Happened to me too when I said no way, not another gun, damn, shot only one mag of 10rds and immediately sold off half of my collection and purchased one of these (black with blue grip). This is the one 9mm to rule them all, bar none.
Really beginning to like and appreciate CZ overall, thanks for doing this.
Great video. I have a 75 Compact and a RAMI and my father-in-law has a Shadow. All incredible guns!
My dad got me a glock 34 when i was 16 and i have had glocks my whole life. two years ago i sold one of my 19s for a p07 and i have not looked back slowly sigs and glocks disappear out of my safe and czs replace them. a cjw cz is amazing.
Control guns are great guns!
I have a 686 that I bring to the range all the time. Like you said Eric, if you are shooting out you bring out the control gun to tell you if its the gun or you.
First time I ever shot one, I was ringing steel at 100 yards! CZ rep had it out and let me shoot the plate rack at 15 yds which was nothing! Told me to try to hit the plate at 100 and I said “yea, right”......he said “it can do it, if YOU CAN”.....oh, it’s on then! Sure as shit, ringing it out like it was nothing! This gun is AMAZING! I’ve got a new one sitting at my FFL waiting for me to finish paying off, as I type!
That's the best thing about a CZ: In case you miss, you know it's not the gun, it's just you.
Love my shadow 2 got 1000 rnds ready to go for it right now.
Man, the expressions on your faces are priceless. Like kids with a new B.B. gun on Christmas morn. Excellent content guys, just excellent.
I love my P-01!
I like it more than my 226, and obviously far more than my M9A1. All 3 are great handguns, but the CZ is my baby and shoots tighter groups without me even trying.
I know there are a number of companies that manufacture good firearms but I just pretty much stick with CZ and Czech made guns so there will never be any disappointments. I don't have a Shadow yet but give me a little time.
3 CZ 82's 2 VZ58's, 1 VZ2008, 1 CZ550 in 308, 1 CZ527 7.62x39, 2 CZ 75b's I LIKE CZECH MADE GUNS.
CZ makes great firearms to price ratio. My P-07 I got for $4xx and installed a cajun gun works pro kit, it feels capable to those 1k+ pistols.
Had mine for about a year. Went to the shop to get something else. Picked it up. Asked to do a dry fire........and now its in my safe.
Does your gun also have quality problems with the finish?
Nope. But mine is black
I guess. Or I just never looked that closely at it.
Did the same. It's unreal.
They give you a snap Cap?
I thinned out my gun collection in order to buy one of these... No regrets at all
“You know you go in there and find all these random guns you have to buy”😂🤷🏻♂️🇺🇸
I walked into the local police supply by my department and the “pushers” there waved this thing in my face as I was picking up my M&P 2.0. I told them no thanks like three or four times.A week later, I’m walking out with it. It’s everything as advertised. One of the funnest shooting guns I’ve ever shot. Now that I think of it, it is THE funnest pistol I’ve ever shot. If you want a gun you have absolutely no justification to buy, this is the one.
I always liked CZ and wanted one. But I purchased based on usability. So a carry gun. Maybe some rifles to use in defense scenarios. CZ has been on my radar since I first shot an 85B combat. The trigger wasnt anything to write home about but I could run it fast due to the ergos and slide design. I'm now in a place to get a CZ and I might just jump straight to the top with this one. (Albeit I'm late to the party) really cool to see you guys excited about something that isn't the next best and greatest striker polymer wonder etc.
Finally picked up my Shadow 2. Can't wait to shoot it!
Mine came with 3 magazines, FWIW...
:Bees kness"...."Cats meow", all ya need is a felt Fedora & a Carnation in your boutineer for you 1940s routine bro Eric!! Nice pistol....i mean :gat" amigo! Mike.
the finish on my 1st gen CZ P-07 9MM is a little thin too but damn son, she runs so good. CZs are my jam
Do you know what is quite sad ? Cz's that are made for Czech market and not the US are worse. Much worse. Like Scorpion EVO 3, All the 22LR Cz's and many of the 223rem. Bolt actions.They make them in the same building but from diferent materials and with diferent tools (For US market they make them with tighter fit, with smaller tolerances and all of that. And in the US most of the guns are cheaper than in Czech Republic...) :(
You should see the one with the blue grips. I couldn’t walk out without it.
Know the. feeling, and neither could I.Sitting here looking at now. Sound weird? Oh well🤪
I like your aiming strategy. Have so many targets that missing is impossible.
Good to see your channel didnt get banned.
I carry a CZ75 P01 omega, bu recently shot this gun at my local range.. It is just one of those guns you fall in love with at first shot.
It's the undisputed king of USPSA Production division. And soon to be Carry Optics, now that they figured out how to mill it and lighten enough to meet the rules.
I dunno if Undisputed....cause the Tanfo spaghetti blasters are winning pretty well these days.
Kylef7735 Tanfo is a CZ clone
@@meifert2 and it's not a CZ
These pistols are built like tanks and shoot like a dream. I'd never sell mine 🇨🇦
The ejection pattern on the pistol is near perfect. You could put a bucket on the table and they'd all fall into it. Although I wouldn't be too happy with the coating not being perfect for a $1000+ gun.
Been watching Your Videos for a few years now.. You are one of the "Go to" no nonsense Gun Guys to hear the truth... Thank you.
CZ is the most underrated gun company.
I absolutely love my Phantom! I definitely want a Shadow 2.
Rear sight is adjustable for windage. Loosen screws and slide in dovetail.
jUST BOUGHT THE aCCUSHADOW 2, MOST ACCURATE PISTOL i HAVE EVER SHOT AND HAS MADE MY GROUPINGS AND SPEED IMPROVE 10 FOLD. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS PISTOL AND AN AVERAGE PISTOL IS NIGHT AND DAY
I beg your pardon Eric, but this incredible S2 is my edc, and no one is the wiser. Its weight doesn't bother me other then leaning to the right like a drunken sailor.
Got my CZ collection up to 4 with the purchase of the P10C....loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I bought with no hesitation a few months ago! saw 0 reviews and Loved it! its heavy the way I like it for home defense lol seems like they implemented the ergs just for me
Had the chance to shoot the SP-01 Shadow this weekend, instantly became my favorite so far, I hope I can try out this one too soon.
WARXion that was my very first firearm and I love it!
Best sporting pistol I have opportunity to shoot at about 1000 euro price tag. Super accurate, Super comfortable to shoot.
I´m from Germany and currently in the process of getting a allowance to buy a 9mm pistol and the shadow2 is top of my list.
ceep in mind that I´m only allowed one 9mm pistol at a time. an with CZ you get a lot of gun for your money!
just checked, its 1,199 Euro here
T Bear it’s really that bad in Germany? Oh crap. I know you are not allowed to carry like we can here in Slovakia and Czech republic, but come on. One gun only? What about reloading?
Irony of this era - post socialism countries have more freedom than those we were always looking on and hoping once we will get to their level of freedom. Not anymore.
Well it's not as bad as you make it sound.
Yes there are no carry laws for private citizens. But on the other hand, I live in the safest part of one of the safest countries in the world.... And now I realize that I made a egoistic anti-gun argument... Sorry... I feel bad now...
But back on topic.
I can have any gun that serves my purpose of sport shooting.
So I can have basically any gun when there is a discipline for it!
But, and there is the big but, semi autos and handguns I can only have one for each purpose/discipline. Bolt action and single shots I can have as much as I want.
The stupid sportshooting gun laws in Germany is the reason I made my hunting license, it is expensive but you have a lot more priviliges and less hassle than with the yellow wbk. You also learn a lot of interesting stuff about hunting and even the gun knowledge part is very extensive so I would definitely recommend it to you! In some states you can even own one silencer now (only one lol) as a hunter with no special need other than your hunting license... the only downside is 2 handguns max but unlimited longguns. I would love beeing able to carry, imagine civilians with the same or more training than police officers in Germany, it would get a lot safer in same parts of our country or at least we would be able to defend ourselves! I see a gun as a tool like a seatbelt, most people will never need it in their entire life but if you need it you don't want to miss it. So if civilians are highly trained or even better than police officers (which is not that hard to be honest...) then the risk is near zero of misusage. If it is not needed to ban something then it is needed not to ban it!
Germany needs some freedom
We Germans have lots of freedoms and very little worry's.
Just not with firearms.
Just try going to go to a public lake in the US with a six pack of beer and no boxer shorts or bathing suit :P
