I just ordered the SS CR920 Combat with optic cut. I have a 48MOS with almost 5000 rounds through it. What attracts me to the SS is the size of a 43 for better concealment, and same capacity.
I own both of these firearms and I would say out of the box you get everything with the Shadow Systems that you might do to a Glock. I personally shoot both about the same. For someone not willing to spend the money on a cr920, definitely go with the Glock. You get the reputation and reliability with them. But Shadow Systems has definitely made their mark in the industry and has become my favorite. As far as the trigger, I would go with the cr920. It gets better every time I shoot it. You can’t go wrong with either one of them. Nice video and you have a new subscriber.
Everyone has an opinion and if people came into watching these videos with the mindset that it’s one or 2 peoples “opinion” then maybe they wouldn’t get caught off guard by something they’ve “never heard.” I don’t want to watch people of a like mind with the same opinion as me. I want to know what the other half thinks and if you fundamentally hate and trash a pistol I love I legit do not care because that’s your opinion and you are more than entitled to have it.

CR920, all day. Perform the recommended break in as stated by Shadow Systems and you have yourself a wonderful American (Texas) manufactured firearm. Plus, cheaper in the long run if you plan on doing any customes to a stock glock. Shadow Systems Company has great customer service and they are passionate about their products, and it shows. Glock is good and always will be, but the things to make them more shootable costs a lot extra...
Very well said, Cole. They have features above an beyond what a stock Glock offers and they are intentional with their product designs. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t already
This has to be the dumbest gun review I’ve ever seen. These guns are almost exact duplicates but the Shadow Systems is a more detailed build. For example, Shadow Systems offers a direct-to-slide optic system that comes with a shim that locks the optic in place so that it WILL NOT WALK OR HAVE TO BE ZEROED TWICE( THE ONLY GUN ON THE MARKET WITH THAT FEATURE.) Trust me you will be mad if you have a bottom battery loading red dot and or the red dot keeps moving and you have to zero it every other time you shoot. The Shadow Systems can be co-witnessed without suppressor height sights and the slide has better cuts to allow for easier slide checks. Glock has a plate system. The Shadow System is much easier to conceal due to the shorter grip and it comes with 10+1 in its short configuration and is the same length with a much better grip pattern in the 13+1 setup. The Shadow Systems slide finish is more durable and the barrel is more accurate at distance. SS comes with metal sights and the SS has a 1911 grip angle. He did mention SS has double undercuts. I will say the Shadow Systems trigger has a wall and then a break where the g43 seems to just mush to the break while live shooting; you won't notice this action as much dry firing. READ and read well the only reason to purchase the G43x is if you want a longer grip and plan to leave the gun plane because the minute you so much as think about adding a red dot you have gone over the cost of owning the SS.
Very welcome. Found a used CR920 today that's optic ready. $565. No other details but it was a consignment gun at a shop. Another local gun shop is selling MR920's with optic cut out, threaded black barrel in FDE. $680. The salesman said they just havent been selling and dropped price from $799 to $680. But still leaning toward the "P" further. Thank you again!
Yeah you can catch SS on sale for crazy low prices throughout the year. My favorite the only one I’ve ever kept is the DR920 Elite. Picked it up on sale a year ago brand new for $699
I had a lot of issues with my CR920 through 600 rounds. Figured it wasn't worth having if I didn't trust carrying it so it's no longer with me. I shot it dead with my Glock, which I still trust. I should have known better than to steer away from Glock
Yeah I’m (Gene) not a Glock fan boy my top 3 are CZ, H&K and Walther with Glock a close 4th. However I wasn’t in any way impressed with either of the 2 shadows I had so I sold them. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I had 3 glock 43x my current one has mos and all came with two mags. My smitt wesson 2.0 10 mm had one mag. I told cabelas it should have 2. I showed them online and they handed me one over the counter. I like my 43x with s15 mags flush fit.
Haha, we basically just mean slowing it down and really focusing on the important things like trigger break and reset, basically slowing things down and getting intimate with the little things aka romance lol. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t already!
The extended mag is how I carry the extra rounds seems like enough advantage. The lighter slide certainly makes for snappier recoil. I am now a Shadow Systems fan boy I really can shoot these CR920. Is it worth the extra money? Yes I have shot hundreds of rounds through both and now own two Shadow Systems one with an optic one without. Nice to have choices thats one thing that makes the US awesome. Freedom of choices.
That’s the beauty of a free competitive market is the end user gets that choice! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to converse we really appreciate you
I can’t shoot a micro compact straight to save my life. Full size no issue. With that said lve shot both. I do not like the cr920. Looks better than the G43 feels better in the hand. Not that crazy about the g43 but l can somewhat function with that gun. Now I was running 147gr ammo with both. I may try both again with 124gr. But l run my wife’s sig p365 xl comp. If Glock could make something compact like that they’re have a winner.
Unfortunately I think Glock is always going to be Glock and unless people stop buying them there’s no motivation for them to be anything better. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
The pull is the same, 4-5 lbs I have the war poet cr920 the finger strength will differ from hand to hand. Some people squeeze and others squeeze hard. We are all different shooters and gun ownership is subjective.
Can’t argue with that. Issue is most people can’t accept that and think you should like exactly what they like and if you don’t you are worth of their attacks. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Old guy here lol. There are certain guns I can’t carry because no matter what I do I’ll lock the slide back. I refuse to change my grip for one gun out of 20 that I shoot great with my grip. Some guns just don’t agree with some peoples style unfortunately. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Glock 43x comes with 2 magazines. Shadow system 2 magazines. Please do some homework before doing a review.... SMH I come to videos for opinions and when I see reviewers that don't know the product they review i get disappointed.
As you can clearly see my CR920 Elite (in video) has 3 mags. I don’t have another SS so I didn’t find one laying on the ground. Now why would I research to see if I accidentally got an extra mag that wasn’t supposed to be there when my carry case had 3 mags in it the day I bought it? Trey called the store we bought it and ask why he only got 1 mag and even called Glock. I never said they all only come with one mag I said and I quote…”Trey swears that his 43x only came with one mag idk.” Also, what the heck does my opinion of gun performance got to do with whether or not I “might” misspoke about number of mags in my box. If I research what others have to say is it “my opinion” or something I’m regurgitating from another’s opinion. You didn’t care anything about my opinion you are just one of those people who troll videos trying to find one thing said wrong so you can point it out to make you feel like a winner. Troll on my friend troll on
Shadow system, CR 920 all day every day!! Very accurate little handgun I love mine, which is my every day Carry ! I sold both of my Glock’s the 43 and the 43X to my buddy ! It comes down to personal preference
That’s right personal preference is everything. I like shadow systems but my DR920 elite is my favorite. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already

I bought the cr920. I was hesitant but since you don't have to upgrade anything on it. It's ready to go out the box. It's worth it.
@guaporikki I think you are correct sir
Cr920 is my every day carry. The compensator that came with it, is awesome. 😊

I have the tan limited edition CR 920. This gun is very accurate. Easy to conceal come with two mags. Try one out you wouldn’t regret it.
Yes sir we have one. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
iirc (could be wrong) the cr920 does not need a plate for the optic. It goes directly into the slide. That’s how it’s bigger brothers work anyway.
Yes
Yup does not need a plate !

I’m (Gene) just not a fan. I’m a subcompact in the winter and pocket in the summer and it doesn’t fit the bill for me but it performed fine
Yep g43x comes with 2 magazines.
Yep
Glock 43X comes with two 10 round mags.....not one..
Unfortunately I got the raw end of that deal, mine only came with one magazine
I'm gonna have to look into this romance with the trigger. Haven't tried that yet!

Necroing here but you don't need plates on SS pistols. That's the beauty of them, they are cut for everything direct mount.
Did we say that you needed plates

It’s not locking back because of how you’re holding the gun. “Riding the slide lock”
