CZs are just unreal. They will go down in history ( are going down in history ) as one of the finest pistols made. Right along with the Hi-power. 75s are an addiction, to me even more that my 1911 fetish. Great mag capacity, low muzzle flip, predictable double action and amazing reliability. Glad to see they are no longer the best kept secret in the pistol world. Plus they have the look of an old school muscle car in a world of “tuner” pistols.
Hey KS! I agree, the Shadow 2 takes it. There's just something about a metal DA/SA hammer fired pistol. Plus, the additional weight helps keep the muzzle down. You're right about the Shadow 2 making you (the user) a better shooter. My CZ75 Omega does that for me even though it's not setup for competition. It's a Plain Jane stock gun wearing Truglo TFX Pro sights. It still makes me look good! 😎 But the Shadow 2 just takes it to a much higher level. Pricey for sure, but as in many other instances.....you get what you pay for. It's on my short list! Nice job KS, as always! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great information here, thanks for the video quality. One side note, with heavy competition-style pistols, a lot of the recoil brunt is absorbed by the weight... when shooting, add a little more bend in your elbows, and they will act like recoil dampeners allowing you to stay on target more easily. This method really makes a difference with a pistol like the CZ, and once mastered, the front post will move up and back down very quickly. 👍🏼
I thought this was an easy one until I watched the video, I was surprised at all the features of the Sig. I also like the flat faced trigger and the huge capacity as well. At the end of the day, I would still choose the S2. My main reason is the "cheap" feel of the polymer in their new striker-fired lines. I like everything else about them, just not the feel of their polymer. I also like the look of the slide better on the X5 and the bull barrel. It has so much going for it, but hard to beat the classic look, sleek lines and solid feel of a CZ. Another awesome review brother and you chose wisely, IMO! :D Have a great weekend!
Thank you Fu! I agree, both have a lot going for them and the Sig is definitely fully loaded. I agree though, it's tough to beat the Shadow 2. It just wants to shoot! Cheers brother!
If you're looking around for a BB pistol I would recommend this one th-cam.com/users/postUgkxnX9wE_Q8zvF75Y5iWzTU3Q4FlrtyGApQ . I ordered two BB pistols from Dan Wesson and this one is so much nicer than the other one. It's a well built gun. Can't say that about the other one. I thought the Mag was pretty easy to load. I also just lock the spring back and fill up the hole with 16 BB's with no sweat. Easily remove the rear part of the handle from the bottom with the Mag removed to access the CO2 chamber. Sweet. Very nice painted sights on both ends. Doesn't have blowback but the gun is rated at 410 fps the blowback edition is 365 fps.Didn't really know much about BB guns before but now I see that Umarex makes some fine BB guns. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer CO2 air pistol than this one I think. Just seems flawless. It even states on the packaging Glock perfection. I think my next Airgun may very well be an Umerex. Oh and if you really want a blowback (don't think amazon sells the Glock w/blowback) you might consider the Beretta APX by Umarex. But that gun is only rated at 310 fps. All things being equal, if it were me I'd buy the Glock again in a heartbeat :)
Dude, 1 year ago I would have thought you were CZ biased, only because I couldn't afford to try the Shadow, after saving my pennies, and trying both guns now, I totally agree! The Shadow 2 is in a different class than the Sig. Thank you for a very fair evaluation!!
The Shadow 2 is superb!! Only change I would make is I would put those cocking wings in the rear of the slide that the H&K VP-9 has to make sling shot racking the slide easier in competition. The other thing I would do is recommend that you coat the grove for the slide rails with Lucas Red “N” Tacky #2 Multi-Purpose EP Grease, so that slide is even smoother and will have no wear. Fantastic Pistol.
Is only on production devision though... however, however, if one choose to compete in the production devision how do you think the CZ will do in Precision shooting vs its’ original target group: Dynamic shooters? Will it be as good in pure precision shooting competitions?
Only beat by the CZ Tactical Sports Orange. But to be fair that is an $1800 gun, and is my #1 gun for competition. Where BOTH guns have fallen short is the milling for Optics with Co-Witnessing like the Sig Sauer P226 Legion RX SAO. A class on its own.
I don't know why but the X Five has never appealed to me even though I like the other X series guns. But the striker fired trigger would probably make more sense for me if I were to shoot competition. I still really want a shadow 2 and am considering boycotting your channel every-time you do a video on one! lol Great comparison KS!
Once you make the switch to DA/SA, it’s hard to go back to a striker pistol. Since making the switch, I only use striker for IDPA, the rest are CZ/STI DA/SA.
As always so much good detailed info as really like both pistols but I always seem to lean towards the CZ....Good comparison vid...I hope to someday shoot either of em.....Good stuff...
I own a Shadow 2 and a Sig 320. I have won divisions with both. My performance differences with these two pistols are negligible, including muzzle flip which I have filmed in slow mo with a grid board behind the pistols. The S2 is a little more accurate. The trade off is that it will not take all factory ammo or brass (that's a big deal) The hammer down start for the S2 in Production is an extra thing to deal with during the make ready and first two shots. Bottom line it's a toss up.
I just bought a limited edition Sig Sauer P320 X5, about a week and a half ago. It has a coyote brown slide and was only offered through one distributor. The shop that I bought it from, bought the last 3 guns from the distributor. The gun is very impressive and I like it a lot. It is definitely a full size gun but has really good ergonomics. The trigger on my X5, is incredibly smooth. I also love the fact that my X5, came with 4, 21 round magazines. It took me 85 rounds, to fully load the gun and magazines.
I'm new to guns, and I'm in Canada. When you talk about the size of your magazines I am awestruck. With no such thing here, with Junior, I mean prime minister Trudeau at the helm. All these regulations, and we all know criminals will always abide by them. Good for you guys stay strong and free.
@@jamesharris184, thank you brother! Do your best to stay safe and do what you can do. Are you limited to how many magazines you can own? If not, buy as many as you can. Canada, is a very beautiful Country and I used to love going there. All the best to you friend.
First pistol I shot was a SHADOW 2, first pistol i bought also love it got third in my first comp with it. Got a 198/200 rapid fire at 25m. Hit metal silhouette at 100m.
Bold claim to say it's the best but I am sure many agree with you Humble. I will say that it's a fantastic gun and worth every penny. Thank you and cheers!
For Production division - not production gun - I should clarify! It's very soft shooting, very accurate, Very aggressive frame, very ergonomic frame, drilled and tapped mag release, and out of the box doesn't "need" anything. The XFive is a solid Production choice too, one of the better choices - but the grip needs texture, the mags it ships with don't work in Production division, the frame could use a bit of sculpting under the tang to allow strong hand thumb a better weld to it (that's a "me" issue due to how I grip). As far as plastic guns go - the XFive is one of the better ones - I just find the 40 oz plus guns easier to shoot fast. I believe the Shadow 2 will be the #1 gun in Production Division this year at nationals - it was #3 last year - having only been out 6 months.
TheHumbleMarksman Maybe it'll be #1, but we all know it's the archer not the arrow. Given some time to get familiar with the guns, I bet any of the top guys wouldn't change finishing position by switching from a Stock II to a Shadow 2 or vice versa.
I consider the Stock 2 the "same" as a Shadow 2 from recoil characteristics - the STock 2 "needs" trigger work and a fiber sight, the Shadow 2 "needs" a lighter mainspring and that's it. Shadow 2 has better checkering, Stock II has a more contoured beavertail and a better finish. Out of the box - the SHadow 2 is a more squared away gun and the fact it's routinely available for $100 more than a new Stock 2 (if you can find one) leads me to that choice. There's nothing wrong with a Tanfo, hell there is nothing wrong with any of them. the 40+ ounce guns are easier to shoot faster once they're out of the holster, the lighter guns present faster and swing faster target to target. Anything is possible but many/most find the heavy guns "easier".
In my country, it's a long and arduous process to get handgun licenses. Basically, it took me 1 year and 3 months, with a lot of work in between, to get me to the point where I can buy a 9MM. Here, it really is a matter of "I can only have one" (pr caliber, maximum 4 different calibers), so I randomly checked out a CZ Shadow 2 at my local gun shop last weekend. Instantly fell in love with it, and now I have decided to buy one. I came into the store having no idea what to pick, and came out 99% sure. After checking it out some more, the last percent fell into place. I loved the look and feel of it, and the trigger was just superb straight out of the box. Good sights too.
@@jangolub8240 Norway. One of the stricter countries in the world where handguns are concerned. Rifles and shotguns aren't too bad. First you have to be a member of a handgun club, for a minimum of 6 months (12 months for anything higher than .22LR in my particular club). You have to attend minimum 2 organized training sessions each month during that period, and the club has to sign off on each of those sessions. Then, once all that is done, you can ask your club whether they will vouch for you for gun ownership, and if they do, you have to deliver a piece of paper from the club, plus a ton of other documentation, to the police. Then you have to wait around 3 months for the response, and if the application is accepted, you have to pay a fee, and then you can purchase a weapon (or weapons). The police denies applications regularly, for so many different reasons. It is strict, and getting stricter by the day. And you can only own 1 handgun pr caliber, and a maximum of 4 different calibers, unless you are an active competition shooter, at which point you may be granted a backup weapon license in the same caliber as the one you compete in. I have all 4 licenses now, and 3 guns, so I am only missing my .44 Magnum Desert Eagle in Titanium Gold, and my collection is complete.
@@PragmaticTornadowiw, thats even stricter than in Slovenia. I just finished my test about safe gun hadling, now i have to pass a medical exam and become a part of a club. Than i can fill an application to get a license to be a gun owner, but i can only carry it to the shooting site, and back home. I think that is all. And the police checks you out, so only minor things still go tru, no crimes, just tickets and stuff. Thats super that you got it, wish me luck that my license goes tru :)
@@jangolub8240 Oh yeah you also need a 3 day firearms safety course before you can even become a member. Surprisingly there is no medical exam required but if you have any kind of mental disease history which the police finds out about, any applications are denied. And any criminal record and you can forget owning any weapons. We can carry our firearms to and from the range, weapons shops for servicing and the like, and any other places where we are shooting. Basically the same there as in your country. Good luck with it! :)
@@PragmaticTornado thank you, if i get the permission to buy a handgun im getting myself a cz shadow 2. About the mental health? I was at a doctor once cuz i was depresed, do you think that will be an issue?
Wow! Nice.. No. Awesome video! Been a big Sig fan for some time now, esp the Sig P226 X-Five. This X5 also seemed like an awesome gun, but I would too go with the CZ S2. The looks, shapes and design are really awesome.
As always AWESOME video! I am confused why I did not get this video until today. But either way as always FANTASTIC review! Even before your conclusion I KNEW you were going to pick the CZ Shadow 2. I have 4 CZ's and I drunk the CZ Kool-Aid! I had one of my CZ's"Cajunized" by Cajun Gun Works and I "Cajunized" one myself. The ergonomics of the CZ is hard to beat. IMO everyone should had a traditional DA/SA and a Striker Fired Pistol and get good with both. I have a Glock Gen 3 G17 and love it too! Love all my guns...PERIOD! But my ultimate favorite pistol of all my pistols is the CZ SP-01 (cajunized by CGW), As alays great review and KEEP ON ROCKING!
Thank you very much CJ! It really is tough to beat the Shadow 2. It’s easily one of my all time favorites, lol. Hard to resist the Kool-Aid! Well said about loving all guns. I think many of us do. That SP-01 sounds awesome! Cheers brother!
I own an x5 and love it to pieces but the way this was broken down i have no arguments. Both are top of the line and CZ has always made great pistols. I still love my x5 tho :) oh and thanks for keeping them both in the context of their intended use and that’s competitions/range shooting
I love my CZ Shadow 2. It's my competition gun in USPSA. But I also love my ALL STEEL first generation Sig Sauer X-Fives. A more accurate and fair comparison would have been to compare the CZ Shadow 2 (an all steel gun) to the Sig Sauer X-Five Allround (also an all steel gun), not the polymer framed Sig P320 X-Five.
@Pistol Pete That is kinda discriminatory - it is not a gun a standart gangster would use. For such price he would get 3 AKs, two for his arms and the third for his dick.
I agree completely. I have shot many pistols so far but when i tried the CZ a few months ago i just couldn't let it go. It has to be the most well balanced gun i have ever held in my hands. The trigger is just a dream come true and i completely agree with you it makes an average shooter shoot better. I consider myself an experienced shooter and i also think i shoot pretty good, but when i tried the CZ i managed a one inch 10 round group at 10 yards without effort. The way i see it, it would take little to no mods at all to make it my competition gun. This pistol is just right for me, it's quite expensive here in Canada right around 1,400$ plus tx, but i'm getting one in a few months for sure. Thank's for the great and honest review KS.
Excellent comparison KS... knew you would pick the Shadow II Both truly amazing pistols... as mentioned previously, I will just keep both! Apex makes good products, however, you should look into the Gray Guns PELT2 for the P320.
KSGunGuy, I'm pretty sure this was a difficult choice to make. Both are EXTREMELY well made gun. In reality you can't go wrong with neither. I lean more to CZ's because I own 2 CZ's and I have no grips whatsoever, but Sigs are WELL Respected!! Very informative video, keep up the good work!!!
I have the Sig and I Love it! If the CZ is what you say it is (I’m going to test drive it today) then I will CZ should send you a well earned commission! Thanks!
Congrats C! They are truly amazing shooters. Seriously one of my top favorites of all time. I’m excited for you brother! Thank you for letting me know and cheers!
I have both. I couldnt find the OR version of the Shadow 2 so I shoot it with its original sights. I installed a SiG Romeo 1 on the X5 so its like cheating. Its lighter and very accurate. In my case if I had to pick one...Id keep them both. Great video.
I own and an X-Five. IMO, the best trigger on a polymer framed pistol (stock) hands down! Although a good video, I think pitting the CZ against an alloy framed Sig X variant may net different results. Excellent video though, keep up the good work.
I absolutely LOVE my SIg X5. I'm a huge Sig fan but recently purchased a Shadow 2 and oh man... The Shadow 2 is an incredible gun. Luckily, I have both and absolutely love them both! I don't think i could pick one over the other unless it was for a specific use. Great guns either way you go.
Oh. How did I miss this? Enquiring minds MUST know. So I’ve asked around a bit. Have you experimented with different grain rounds in the S2? If so, I would be interested in your thoughts. So far I’ve mostly shot 115 gr and 124 gr and thought the heavier grain was consistently more accurate testing from 7 to 15 yards. I did stretch out once to 25 yards with a spread of about 7 to 8 inches with 124 gr.
I have a X5. I am currently using the fire control assembly for the guts for my EDC gun. I really want the CZ Shadow even though it will be just a range toy.
I bought both of these at the same time because of this video. Had them now for two weeks. I have ran around 1,000 rounds through each. Honestly I can’t really pick my favorite. I thought it would be the cz I’ll admit I shoot it a lot faster lol it’s built for speed. But the sig seems more accurate for some reason. Hell at 75 yds ( I know its impractical to fight with a pistol at this distance) I made 21 shots (a whole mag) on a full size silhouette. With the cz I averaged 13 or 14 out of the 17 round mag. That being said I still don’t have a favorite.
Ben, that’s awesome! I’m humbled that the vid had something to do with it, and hopefully you’ll continue to enjoy both. That’s amazing about the Sig accuracy! Very impressive. As for the CZ, it’s one of my favs and truly tough to beat. Thank you for sharing and cheers brother!
I have both of them. I have a Shadow 2, an optic ready Shadow 2 with a Vortex Venom and a Sig P320 X5 with Sig Romeo 1 optic. I bought the Sig X5 for Carry optics initially, followed by the Shadow 2 OR chiefly because the S2 was so damn hard to get hold of, despite being on a waitlist since May 2018 with one vendor and then jumping ship to another vendor who was already on their second shipment and I wanted an optic ready gun BAD. So the Sig did not win me over in term of ergonomics and shootability, but I bought in hook, line and sinker on optics, despite being able to shoot the Shadow faster and more accurately with iron sights than I could with the optic Combat Tupperware Sig. Both are great guns, but in my humble option and experience, the Shadow 2 rules supreme and the optic, once I get that adapter plate for it, the optic ready Shadow 2 will be equally as amazing. The people that are still resisting the Kool-Aid...... just suck it up and swallow.
FYI - they do have competition in low light where you must have a flashlight. Not USPSA or Steel but local competitions. I held and dry fired both. My first competition gun was a CZ 75 and I won some prize money with it. I am too old to compete so I was just looking for a good range gun after I retired last year. I also tend towards Sigs and His and owned an X Sig in the past. I loved the CZ but it was heavier and at my age that matters. I also liked the ability to load almost a whole box of ammo in the four magazines. Plus I can buy different frames for carry without buying a whole new gun. Nonetheless I may get the CZ next Christmas.
It’s nice owning both of these, plus the Walther Q5, the G34, XDM 5.25, and a few more. Long barrel 9mm target pistols are just plain fun....but for the funnest shooting toy of all, it’s hard to beat the Shadow 2. I’ve owned a few P226 X5s, USP Experts, an SVI, and a couple P210s. Some (most) have been lighter, prettier, or more collectible, but none have been more shootable for me than the Shadow 2.
I own a lot of sig pistols...X carry and the X5. I love them both. The CZ is my next pistol I want and I fired it and yes, it's a beast but very manageable in the hand...well balanced. Home defense and range pistol.. Sig x5 and cz shadow 2... Very well made and can't go wrong with either.
i think the xfive has an accessories for competition use..that's why it was there.. if im not mistaken the rail where use to put a mount for optics and acts as counterweight.. i just watch the sig video about the x series of handguns.. maybe you can watch it..
CZ has a Optic Ready Shadow 2 thats already out in Europe and Canada and will be in the USA this year. IT also allows the CZ to make the CO division weight with a 21/22rd mag
I rented a cz 75 sp01, and shot it for the first time a few days ago. I was blown away. Classical feel and look, flat shooting, a total pleasure. Then I rented a shadow and quite frankly I preferred the regular cz and shot it better too. I shot my sig legion p226 a bit better as far as groupings, but that’s likely due to my familiarity with it. Still thinking about that cz though… Otherwise, what else, the takedown lever on the cz bugged my support thumb, so I just put it right below it and above the trigger. Took care of that problem. Also the safety is severely stupid and wouldn’t work in combat, for me, but the decocker version would be amazing.
I’d take the cz basically because I don’t have one and I am saving up to get one, so I really had to think about which one to get if I can only have one: for a long time (maybe even a couple of years) I will really only have one
Looking just at accuracy of a centerfire handgun from the factory I have not shot anything more accurate than the Shadow 2. Great accurate handgun and fun to shoot.
I own an old CZ75. That gun has taken a lot abuse and rounds trough the years. I am going to replace the CZ75 preferably with a Shadow 2, but has had me wondering about the Sig P320's also. I guess I got my answer. And I know I get a reliable gun in a CZ. Sorry Sig... Thanks for the Informative video, appreciated!
100% agree. I owned an X-Five and loved it...but ended up selling it for a P229 Legion RX...then I wasn’t happy with the Legion so I sold it for a Shadow 2. Absolutely zero regrets with where I’ve ended up. The Shadow 2 is by far better than the X-Five, and IMO even better than the Sig Legion series. I started off a Sig guy, but my CZ collection outnumbers my Sigs now.
How about a comparison of the Shadow 2, and a Jericho 941 all steel ? I have two of the Jericho's, and I have heard comparisons of those to CZ 75's. Nice video's. What is the target distance in the range shooting? Thanks
I haven't shot a Shadow yet. I have a x5 legion and it is very nice. Hopefully I will get a shadow 2 this weekend. I am excited about the chance to get it if the deal doesn't fall through for some reason
I sold my P320 X5 a few weeks ago because I shoot my CZ much better. Had a case blowout and blew the extractor out the slide and Sig said it was an expendable part and I had to pay $21 for a new one, the gun was 2 weeks old. I now also have a CZ TS Orange in 9mm and that gun is absolutely awesome. The only Sigs I have now and love is my 226 Legion, and my EDC P365. I've won more matches using a CZ than all others I used previously, XD9 custom, Glock, and M&P. CZ's are the best for the money.
It’s hard to beat good striker fired polymer guns they’re lightweight ,nice constant trigger pull and no manual safeties. They are just more practical for every day use.
Great review. I am also a SIG fan and own several of their handguns. But my CZ is just like you stated, a pure pleasure to shoot. I have added a DPM recoil kit to improve the already minimal barrel flip and Houge Grips. The only thing I want to hold more often is my wife's thighs.
I own both a P226 X-Five and a Sphinx 3000 Competition with Docter red dot. Both fantastic guns although the Sphinx feels lighter and smoother on the range. I added the optional 300g front weight on the X-Five to reacquire target faster in speed shooting and it’s definitely a plus.
hmmm. you want him to say shadow 2 is better. i think its very subjective. most shooter with big hands prefer the cz. the sig has better ergo in my opinion. id go with sig.
Just got an X5. Decided to go with a TSO instead on a Shadow 2. NO comparison in these guns, the TSO is superior in every way. I mounted a red dot on the X5 which makes it fun to shoot. Both are good to have in the collection.
Update: I contacted a friend who's friend works at Sig. He said the 320 modularity makes one gun ok and the next gun a lemon. The customer reps are told to say anything to keep returns low and they are swamped with returned pistols. The circuitry on the Romeo sights go bad frequently and the Sig is a one trick pony unlike the Glock MOS with changeable site plates. -FYI.
I can see that having the modular system can promote some inconsistencies. That makes sense. Hopefully with time, Sig can really hone in on the design. Time will tell. Thank you and cheers!
If you like SA/DA try the P226... it's an incredible grip design and lighter weight. I like the CZ, but the 75 model is too heavy for EDC, but a great recoil reduction feature.
Well I have the CZ P07, P09, P10c, Rami, P01, n SP01 tactical, why not the Shadow 2?? .... On my way right now to buy it!...I love cz's, n I have several Sigs in my collection as well... Bout to see which one I'll like the best...
From what I recall, these days, the X5 comes with 4 mags, 21rd each, while X5 Legion comes with 3 mags, 17rd each. I recently got X5 Legion and it came with 3 mags, 17 rd each only, and I been finding in the recent years that's how its always been now. Its a bit sad. I'm a new gun owner from Mar 2020 and own AccuShadow 2 instead of CZ Shadow 2, although I'd love to get one to pair with the AccuShadow 2. I also have Sig X5-Legion. Gotta say I'm pretty pleased with both of them. CZ over Sig any day. CZ is world champ. Sig is National champ but a pretty good competitor with CZ, but CZ is in a world of its own like othres have said.

CZs are just unreal. They will go down in history ( are going down in history ) as one of the finest pistols made. Right along with the Hi-power. 75s are an addiction, to me even more that my 1911 fetish. Great mag capacity, low muzzle flip, predictable double action and amazing reliability. Glad to see they are no longer the best kept secret in the pistol world. Plus they have the look of an old school muscle car in a world of “tuner” pistols.
Well said! I too think CZ has done an awesome job and always look forward to new releases. Thank you and cheers!
I love my Sigs; but the Shadow is in a league of it's own... Id take the CZ all day.
The Shadow 2 is in a whole different class for me. Going to be setting the standard for awhile.
Very nice comparison KS. CZ looks to be very choice. Both great Firearms. Thanks for sharing brother!
Thank you very much 101! Both are indeed a lot of fun. Cheers!
Hey KS! I agree, the Shadow 2 takes it. There's just something about a metal DA/SA hammer fired pistol. Plus, the additional weight helps keep the muzzle down.
You're right about the Shadow 2 making you (the user) a better shooter. My CZ75 Omega does that for me even though it's not setup for competition. It's a Plain Jane stock gun wearing Truglo TFX Pro sights. It still makes me look good! 😎 But the Shadow 2 just takes it to a much higher level. Pricey for sure, but as in many other instances.....you get what you pay for. It's on my short list!
Nice job KS, as always! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much MileHigh! That 75 Omega sounds pretty sweet too. I'd love to shoot one at some point. Cheers as always brother!
Great information here, thanks for the video quality. One side note, with heavy competition-style pistols, a lot of the recoil brunt is absorbed by the weight... when shooting, add a little more bend in your elbows, and they will act like recoil dampeners allowing you to stay on target more easily. This method really makes a difference with a pistol like the CZ, and once mastered, the front post will move up and back down very quickly. 👍🏼
Thanks
I just recently purchased the CZ shadow 2, and I really love it. Shoots like a dream.
I thought this was an easy one until I watched the video, I was surprised at all the features of the Sig. I also like the flat faced trigger and the huge capacity as well. At the end of the day, I would still choose the S2. My main reason is the "cheap" feel of the polymer in their new striker-fired lines. I like everything else about them, just not the feel of their polymer. I also like the look of the slide better on the X5 and the bull barrel. It has so much going for it, but hard to beat the classic look, sleek lines and solid feel of a CZ. Another awesome review brother and you chose wisely, IMO! :D Have a great weekend!
Thank you Fu! I agree, both have a lot going for them and the Sig is definitely fully loaded. I agree though, it's tough to beat the Shadow 2. It just wants to shoot! Cheers brother!
If you're looking around for a BB pistol I would recommend this one th-cam.com/users/postUgkxnX9wE_Q8zvF75Y5iWzTU3Q4FlrtyGApQ . I ordered two BB pistols from Dan Wesson and this one is so much nicer than the other one. It's a well built gun. Can't say that about the other one. I thought the Mag was pretty easy to load. I also just lock the spring back and fill up the hole with 16 BB's with no sweat. Easily remove the rear part of the handle from the bottom with the Mag removed to access the CO2 chamber. Sweet. Very nice painted sights on both ends. Doesn't have blowback but the gun is rated at 410 fps the blowback edition is 365 fps.Didn't really know much about BB guns before but now I see that Umarex makes some fine BB guns. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer CO2 air pistol than this one I think. Just seems flawless. It even states on the packaging Glock perfection. I think my next Airgun may very well be an Umerex. Oh and if you really want a blowback (don't think amazon sells the Glock w/blowback) you might consider the Beretta APX by Umarex. But that gun is only rated at 310 fps. All things being equal, if it were me I'd buy the Glock again in a heartbeat :)
Went to a range, a guy let me shoot his Shadow2... Now I own my own!! What an AWESOME gun!!
Dude, 1 year ago I would have thought you were CZ biased, only because I couldn't afford to try the Shadow, after saving my pennies, and trying both guns now, I totally agree! The Shadow 2 is in a different class than the Sig. Thank you for a very fair evaluation!!
The Shadow 2 is superb!! Only change I would make is I would put those cocking wings in the rear of the slide that the H&K VP-9 has to make sling shot racking the slide easier in competition. The other thing I would do is recommend that you coat the grove for the slide rails with Lucas Red “N” Tacky #2 Multi-Purpose EP Grease, so that slide is even smoother and will have no wear. Fantastic Pistol.
I bought my Shadow 2 partly because of your review! Thanks for the great Video.
Changed the grip to black ones though..
Greetings from Germany
Congrats on the S2 and I'm glad to help! Thank you and cheers!
Shadow 2 won't be beat for a long time, it's just designed to be beast
Amen to that! Thank you and cheers!
Is only on production devision though... however, however, if one choose to compete in the production devision how do you think the CZ will do in Precision shooting vs its’ original target group: Dynamic shooters? Will it be as good in pure precision shooting competitions?
Chris Erics I had a S2 and sold it and got a Tanfoglio Stock 2 xtreme and love it
That all Steel Walther Ppq Match coming out may give it a run.
Only beat by the CZ Tactical Sports Orange. But to be fair that is an $1800 gun, and is my #1 gun for competition. Where BOTH guns have fallen short is the milling for Optics with Co-Witnessing like the Sig Sauer P226 Legion RX SAO. A class on its own.
I don't know why but the X Five has never appealed to me even though I like the other X series guns. But the striker fired trigger would probably make more sense for me if I were to shoot competition. I still really want a shadow 2 and am considering boycotting your channel every-time you do a video on one! lol
Great comparison KS!
Haha! It's definitely time for you to get a shadow 2. They are awesome! Thank you and cheers Harry!
Once you make the switch to DA/SA, it’s hard to go back to a striker pistol. Since making the switch, I only use striker for IDPA, the rest are CZ/STI DA/SA.
When in doubt always pick CZ
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
As always so much good detailed info as really like both pistols but I always seem to lean towards the CZ....Good comparison vid...I hope to someday shoot either of em.....Good stuff...
Thank you very much Scott! Great to see you as always brother. Cheers!
Thanks for mentioning V-Tac and the X-Carry in comparison to the trigger of the Sig X-Five.
Just got the CZ in Grey - so glad you did the XFive as comparison
Congrats on the CZ! They are great guns indeed. Thank you and cheers!
I own a Shadow 2 and a Sig 320. I have won divisions with both. My performance differences with these two pistols are negligible, including muzzle flip which I have filmed in slow mo with a grid board behind the pistols. The S2 is a little more accurate. The trade off is that it will not take all factory ammo or brass (that's a big deal) The hammer down start for the S2 in Production is an extra thing to deal with during the make ready and first two shots. Bottom line it's a toss up.
I just bought a limited edition Sig Sauer P320 X5, about a week and a half ago. It has a coyote brown slide and was only offered through one distributor. The shop that I bought it from, bought the last 3 guns from the distributor. The gun is very impressive and I like it a lot. It is definitely a full size gun but has really good ergonomics. The trigger on my X5, is incredibly smooth. I also love the fact that my X5, came with 4, 21 round magazines. It took me 85 rounds, to fully load the gun and magazines.
I'm new to guns, and I'm in Canada. When you talk about the size of your magazines I am awestruck. With no such thing here, with Junior, I mean prime minister Trudeau at the helm. All these regulations, and we all know criminals will always abide by them. Good for you guys stay strong and free.
@@jamesharris184, thank you brother! Do your best to stay safe and do what you can do. Are you limited to how many magazines you can own? If not, buy as many as you can. Canada, is a very beautiful Country and I used to love going there. All the best to you friend.
I have both of these and agree with you on the CZ Shadow 2. It's an outstanding pistol.
Great video. Thanks for yr expertise.
First pistol I shot was a SHADOW 2, first pistol i bought also love it got third in my first comp with it. Got a 198/200 rapid fire at 25m. Hit metal silhouette at 100m.
Really good comparison review!
Thank you very much Keanon! Cheers brother!
wow i cant pick, luckily you own both! great vids,enjoy watching them,just subscribed
They are definitely both worth checking out! Thank you and cheers!
I agree. The XFive is a very good gun and probably a better all arounder- but the Shadow 2 is the best Production gun made.
Bold claim to say it's the best but I am sure many agree with you Humble. I will say that it's a fantastic gun and worth every penny. Thank you and cheers!
For Production division - not production gun - I should clarify! It's very soft shooting, very accurate, Very aggressive frame, very ergonomic frame, drilled and tapped mag release, and out of the box doesn't "need" anything. The XFive is a solid Production choice too, one of the better choices - but the grip needs texture, the mags it ships with don't work in Production division, the frame could use a bit of sculpting under the tang to allow strong hand thumb a better weld to it (that's a "me" issue due to how I grip). As far as plastic guns go - the XFive is one of the better ones - I just find the 40 oz plus guns easier to shoot fast. I believe the Shadow 2 will be the #1 gun in Production Division this year at nationals - it was #3 last year - having only been out 6 months.
TheHumbleMarksman
Maybe it'll be #1, but we all know it's the archer not the arrow. Given some time to get familiar with the guns, I bet any of the top guys wouldn't change finishing position by switching from a Stock II to a Shadow 2 or vice versa.
I consider the Stock 2 the "same" as a Shadow 2 from recoil characteristics - the STock 2 "needs" trigger work and a fiber sight, the Shadow 2 "needs" a lighter mainspring and that's it. Shadow 2 has better checkering, Stock II has a more contoured beavertail and a better finish. Out of the box - the SHadow 2 is a more squared away gun and the fact it's routinely available for $100 more than a new Stock 2 (if you can find one) leads me to that choice. There's nothing wrong with a Tanfo, hell there is nothing wrong with any of them. the 40+ ounce guns are easier to shoot faster once they're out of the holster, the lighter guns present faster and swing faster target to target. Anything is possible but many/most find the heavy guns "easier".
Stock II and Shadow 2 are the holy guns of Production division 😂
Id definitely go CZ! Excellent video KS!
Thank you very much Nolan! Always great to see you brother. Tough to beat the Shadow for sure. Cheers brother!
In my country, it's a long and arduous process to get handgun licenses. Basically, it took me 1 year and 3 months, with a lot of work in between, to get me to the point where I can buy a 9MM.
Here, it really is a matter of "I can only have one" (pr caliber, maximum 4 different calibers), so I randomly checked out a CZ Shadow 2 at my local gun shop last weekend. Instantly fell in love with it, and now I have decided to buy one.
I came into the store having no idea what to pick, and came out 99% sure. After checking it out some more, the last percent fell into place. I loved the look and feel of it, and the trigger was just superb straight out of the box. Good sights too.
Where are you from? What was the whole process to get the license?
@@jangolub8240 Norway. One of the stricter countries in the world where handguns are concerned. Rifles and shotguns aren't too bad.
First you have to be a member of a handgun club, for a minimum of 6 months (12 months for anything higher than .22LR in my particular club). You have to attend minimum 2 organized training sessions each month during that period, and the club has to sign off on each of those sessions.
Then, once all that is done, you can ask your club whether they will vouch for you for gun ownership, and if they do, you have to deliver a piece of paper from the club, plus a ton of other documentation, to the police. Then you have to wait around 3 months for the response, and if the application is accepted, you have to pay a fee, and then you can purchase a weapon (or weapons).
The police denies applications regularly, for so many different reasons. It is strict, and getting stricter by the day.
And you can only own 1 handgun pr caliber, and a maximum of 4 different calibers, unless you are an active competition shooter, at which point you may be granted a backup weapon license in the same caliber as the one you compete in.
I have all 4 licenses now, and 3 guns, so I am only missing my .44 Magnum Desert Eagle in Titanium Gold, and my collection is complete.
@@PragmaticTornadowiw, thats even stricter than in Slovenia. I just finished my test about safe gun hadling, now i have to pass a medical exam and become a part of a club. Than i can fill an application to get a license to be a gun owner, but i can only carry it to the shooting site, and back home. I think that is all. And the police checks you out, so only minor things still go tru, no crimes, just tickets and stuff. Thats super that you got it, wish me luck that my license goes tru :)
@@jangolub8240 Oh yeah you also need a 3 day firearms safety course before you can even become a member.
Surprisingly there is no medical exam required but if you have any kind of mental disease history which the police finds out about, any applications are denied. And any criminal record and you can forget owning any weapons.
We can carry our firearms to and from the range, weapons shops for servicing and the like, and any other places where we are shooting. Basically the same there as in your country.
Good luck with it! :)
@@PragmaticTornado thank you, if i get the permission to buy a handgun im getting myself a cz shadow 2. About the mental health? I was at a doctor once cuz i was depresed, do you think that will be an issue?
Wow! Nice.. No. Awesome video!
Been a big Sig fan for some time now, esp the Sig P226 X-Five.
This X5 also seemed like an awesome gun, but I would too go with the CZ S2. The looks, shapes and design are really awesome.
Thank you very much! The 226 X Five is beautiful indeed. Cheers!
As always AWESOME video! I am confused why I did not get this video until today. But either way as always FANTASTIC review! Even before your conclusion I KNEW you were going to pick the CZ Shadow 2. I have 4 CZ's and I drunk the CZ Kool-Aid! I had one of my CZ's"Cajunized" by Cajun Gun Works and I "Cajunized" one myself. The ergonomics of the CZ is hard to beat. IMO everyone should had a traditional DA/SA and a Striker Fired Pistol and get good with both. I have a Glock Gen 3 G17 and love it too! Love all my guns...PERIOD! But my ultimate favorite pistol of all my pistols is the CZ SP-01 (cajunized by CGW), As alays great review and KEEP ON ROCKING!
Thank you very much CJ! It really is tough to beat the Shadow 2. It’s easily one of my all time favorites, lol. Hard to resist the Kool-Aid! Well said about loving all guns. I think many of us do. That SP-01 sounds awesome! Cheers brother!
I own an x5 and love it to pieces but the way this was broken down i have no arguments. Both are top of the line and CZ has always made great pistols. I still love my x5 tho :) oh and thanks for keeping them both in the context of their intended use and that’s competitions/range shooting
Thank you very much and I agree, they are both fantastic guns! Cheers!
I love my CZ Shadow 2. It's my competition gun in USPSA. But I also love my ALL STEEL first generation Sig Sauer X-Fives. A more accurate and fair comparison would have been to compare the CZ Shadow 2 (an all steel gun) to the Sig Sauer X-Five Allround (also an all steel gun), not the polymer framed Sig P320 X-Five.
Joel Gustafson exactly, this is like comparing apples to strawberries
Or a Tanfoglio Stock 2
Thanks for the great video!
I think both are good guns, but I personally like the Sig p226 Legion SAO waaaay more than either of these.
Thank you! The Legion is an amazing series for sure. Cheers!
The only problem I have with cz shaodow is that I dont have one😭
@Pistol Pete That is kinda discriminatory - it is not a gun a standart gangster would use. For such price he would get 3 AKs, two for his arms and the third for his dick.
what a beautiful comment, I agree
HUGE problem.
I must have yours, I own 2.
Love my CZ Shadow, super smooth!
I agree David! Thank you and cheers!
I agree completely. I have shot many pistols so far but when i tried the CZ a few months ago i just couldn't let it go. It has to be the most well balanced gun i have ever held in my hands. The trigger is just a dream come true and i completely agree with you it makes an average shooter shoot better. I consider myself an experienced shooter and i also think i shoot pretty good, but when i tried the CZ i managed a one inch 10 round group at 10 yards without effort. The way i see it, it would take little to no mods at all to make it my competition gun. This pistol is just right for me, it's quite expensive here in Canada right around 1,400$ plus tx, but i'm getting one in a few months for sure. Thank's for the great and honest review KS.
They really are top quality guns and I agree about the shooting capabilities! Thank you and cheers Ray!
Here in Australia you can expect to pay a little over $2000CAD...incl tax for a CZ S2.
Excellent comparison KS... knew you would pick the Shadow II
Both truly amazing pistols... as mentioned previously, I will just keep both!
Apex makes good products, however, you should look into the Gray Guns PELT2 for the P320.
Thank you MyLIfe! Tough to beat the Shadow. It's just a beast. The X-Five is no slouch though. I'll check out the PELT2 when I can. Cheers brother!
KSGunGuy, I'm pretty sure this was a difficult choice to make. Both are EXTREMELY well made gun. In reality you can't go wrong with neither. I
lean more to CZ's because I own 2 CZ's and I have no grips whatsoever, but Sigs are WELL Respected!! Very informative video, keep up the good work!!!
Thank you very much Keith! Well said indeed brother. I agree about the CZs and thoroughly enjoy mine. Cheers brother!
I have the SP-01 with safety and it is a beast. I seriously do feel like I’m a superior shooter after shooting it lol. Easy my favorite.
I have the Sig and I Love it! If the CZ is what you say it is (I’m going to test drive it today) then I will CZ should send you a well earned commission!
Thanks!
I like the CZ. I noticed the SIG had a good bit of left/right wiggle at the muzzle on firing.
Picked up Shadow 2 today! OMG! I love it. That trigger is what I was looking for. Thanks for a great video, I'm still grinning! :)
Congrats C! They are truly amazing shooters. Seriously one of my top favorites of all time. I’m excited for you brother! Thank you for letting me know and cheers!
Love my Shadow 2. I can't imagine a scenario where I would ever sell it.
The CZ shadow 2 is straight up beastly in performance! One of the best out there! I highly recommend it! 🔥
I have both. I couldnt find the OR version of the Shadow 2 so I shoot it with its original sights. I installed a SiG Romeo 1 on the X5 so its like cheating. Its lighter and very accurate. In my case if I had to pick one...Id keep them both. Great video.
as always excellent review. being a neophyte in the subject I rely channels yours.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy. Cheers!
Great job man! I would have to agree
Thank you CCC! Cheers as always brother!
good review 👍
I have both. Two Shadows (one Optic Ready) and just bought the X5. Stoked for the Optics.
That’s awesome! Thank you and cheers!
This is a really great video!
Thank you very much! Cheers!
I own and an X-Five. IMO, the best trigger on a polymer framed pistol (stock) hands down! Although a good video, I think pitting the CZ against an alloy framed Sig X variant may net different results. Excellent video though, keep up the good work.
It was a highly requested video and a ton of fun to make. Thank you and cheers Al!
I absolutely LOVE my SIg X5. I'm a huge Sig fan but recently purchased a Shadow 2 and oh man... The Shadow 2 is an incredible gun. Luckily, I have both and absolutely love them both! I don't think i could pick one over the other unless it was for a specific use. Great guns either way you go.
You have a great collection and I agree! Thank you and cheers!
Which one has less muzzle flip?
I haven’t shot the cz but I have shot the sig. I think it’s impossible to miss with the sig so the cz must be an incredible firearm. Very good review
Both are excellent, but the Shadow is truly amazing. Thank you and cheers!
Oh. How did I miss this? Enquiring minds MUST know.
So I’ve asked around a bit. Have you experimented with different grain rounds in the S2? If so, I would be interested in your thoughts. So far I’ve mostly shot 115 gr and 124 gr and thought the heavier grain was consistently more accurate testing from 7 to 15 yards. I did stretch out once to 25 yards with a spread of about 7 to 8 inches with 124 gr.
Thanks InSight! I’ve only run 115 and 124 through it but hopefully will try some different loads soon. Absolutely love it! Cheers!
I have a X5. I am currently using the fire control assembly for the guts for my EDC gun. I really want the CZ Shadow even though it will be just a range toy.
subscribed, quality content, no bullshit, and fair
Thank you very much! Cheers!
Nice Choice! #CZLIFE Indeed, thanks for the 3guys SO! Carry On!
Thanks Big J! Cheers as always!
I bought both of these at the same time because of this video. Had them now for two weeks. I have ran around 1,000 rounds through each. Honestly I can’t really pick my favorite. I thought it would be the cz I’ll admit I shoot it a lot faster lol it’s built for speed. But the sig seems more accurate for some reason. Hell at 75 yds ( I know its impractical to fight with a pistol at this distance) I made 21 shots (a whole mag) on a full size silhouette. With the cz I averaged 13 or 14 out of the 17 round mag. That being said I still don’t have a favorite.
Ben, that’s awesome! I’m humbled that the vid had something to do with it, and hopefully you’ll continue to enjoy both. That’s amazing about the Sig accuracy! Very impressive. As for the CZ, it’s one of my favs and truly tough to beat. Thank you for sharing and cheers brother!
LOVE my CZ Shadow 2! Great pistol! :)
I agree! Thank you and cheers!
I have both of them. I have a Shadow 2, an optic ready Shadow 2 with a Vortex Venom and a Sig P320 X5 with Sig Romeo 1 optic. I bought the Sig X5 for Carry optics initially, followed by the Shadow 2 OR chiefly because the S2 was so damn hard to get hold of, despite being on a waitlist since May 2018 with one vendor and then jumping ship to another vendor who was already on their second shipment and I wanted an optic ready gun BAD. So the Sig did not win me over in term of ergonomics and shootability, but I bought in hook, line and sinker on optics, despite being able to shoot the Shadow faster and more accurately with iron sights than I could with the optic Combat Tupperware Sig. Both are great guns, but in my humble option and experience, the Shadow 2 rules supreme and the optic, once I get that adapter plate for it, the optic ready Shadow 2 will be equally as amazing. The people that are still resisting the Kool-Aid...... just suck it up and swallow.
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
Good call to me no comparison I sold my X5 320 it just felt cheap built for a 800.00 gun. The Shadow is way ahead in my book. Great job KS 👍
Thank you very much Youngguns! Definitely tough to beat the Shadow. It's just a beast of a gun. Cheers!
FYI - they do have competition in low light where you must have a flashlight. Not USPSA or Steel but local competitions. I held and dry fired both. My first competition gun was a CZ 75 and I won some prize money with it. I am too old to compete so I was just looking for a good range gun after I retired last year. I also tend towards Sigs and His and owned an X Sig in the past.
I loved the CZ but it was heavier and at my age that matters. I also liked the ability to load almost a whole box of ammo in the four magazines. Plus I can buy different frames for carry without buying a whole new gun. Nonetheless I may get the CZ next Christmas.
That's awesome! Thank you and cheers!
It’s nice owning both of these, plus the Walther Q5, the G34, XDM 5.25, and a few more. Long barrel 9mm target pistols are just plain fun....but for the funnest shooting toy of all, it’s hard to beat the Shadow 2. I’ve owned a few P226 X5s, USP Experts, an SVI, and a couple P210s. Some (most) have been lighter, prettier, or more collectible, but none have been more shootable for me than the Shadow 2.
That's awesome! A great collection indeed. I do agree that it's tough to beat the Shadow 2 though. Thank you and cheers!
I own a lot of sig pistols...X carry and the X5. I love them both.
The CZ is my next pistol I want and I fired it and yes, it's a beast but very manageable in the hand...well balanced.
Home defense and range pistol..
Sig x5 and cz shadow 2...
Very well made and can't go wrong with either.
Well said all the way around! Thank you and cheers!
i think the xfive has an accessories for competition use..that's why it was there.. if im not mistaken the rail where use to put a mount for optics and acts as counterweight.. i just watch the sig video about the x series of handguns.. maybe you can watch it..
Agreed! Just got a new subscriber! Loved the video! 😉
Thank you Kevin! Cheers brother!
CZ has a Optic Ready Shadow 2 thats already out in Europe and Canada and will be in the USA this year. IT also allows the CZ to make the CO division weight with a 21/22rd mag
I saw that! Can’t wait to see it. Thank you and cheers!
I rented a cz 75 sp01, and shot it for the first time a few days ago. I was blown away. Classical feel and look, flat shooting, a total pleasure. Then I rented a shadow and quite frankly I preferred the regular cz and shot it better too.
I shot my sig legion p226 a bit better as far as groupings, but that’s likely due to my familiarity with it.
Still thinking about that cz though…
Otherwise, what else, the takedown lever on the cz bugged my support thumb, so I just put it right below it and above the trigger. Took care of that problem. Also the safety is severely stupid and wouldn’t work in combat, for me, but the decocker version would be amazing.
I’d take the cz basically because I don’t have one and I am saving up to get one, so I really had to think about which one to get if I can only have one: for a long time (maybe even a couple of years) I will really only have one
Looking just at accuracy of a centerfire handgun from the factory I have not shot anything more accurate than the
Shadow 2. Great accurate handgun and fun to shoot.
Well said Randy! It really is an extraordinary gun. Thank you and cheers brother!
The only thing I own which is more accurate from the factory is my Colt Python 🐍 but they don’t even make them anymore lol
I own an old CZ75. That gun has taken a lot abuse and rounds trough the years.
I am going to replace the CZ75 preferably with a Shadow 2, but has had me wondering about the Sig P320's also.
I guess I got my answer. And I know I get a reliable gun in a CZ. Sorry Sig...
Thanks for the Informative video, appreciated!
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
100% agree. I owned an X-Five and loved it...but ended up selling it for a P229 Legion RX...then I wasn’t happy with the Legion so I sold it for a Shadow 2. Absolutely zero regrets with where I’ve ended up.
The Shadow 2 is by far better than the X-Five, and IMO even better than the Sig Legion series.
I started off a Sig guy, but my CZ collection outnumbers my Sigs now.
How about a comparison of the Shadow 2, and a Jericho 941 all steel ?
I have two of the Jericho's, and I have heard comparisons of those to CZ 75's.
Nice video's.
What is the target distance in the range shooting?
Thanks
CZ is well made and consistent as hell! I go with the reliability and ergonomics of CZ. I have a couple and love each one.
I haven't shot a Shadow yet. I have a x5 legion and it is very nice. Hopefully I will get a shadow 2 this weekend. I am excited about the chance to get it if the deal doesn't fall through for some reason
I sold my P320 X5 a few weeks ago because I shoot my CZ much better. Had a case blowout and blew the extractor out the slide and Sig said it was an expendable part and I had to pay $21 for a new one, the gun was 2 weeks old. I now also have a CZ TS Orange in 9mm and that gun is absolutely awesome. The only Sigs I have now and love is my 226 Legion, and my EDC P365. I've won more matches using a CZ than all others I used previously, XD9 custom, Glock, and M&P. CZ's are the best for the money.
This is America!!! You can, and should, have BOTH!!!! Great vid and handguns!
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
It’s hard to beat good striker fired polymer guns they’re lightweight ,nice constant trigger pull and no manual safeties. They are just more practical for every day use.
That CZ looks like a mob boss.. The sig looks like a navy seal.. I'll take the mob boss..
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
NEVER OBEY very refined, classy and all business.
Great review. I am also a SIG fan and own several of their handguns. But my CZ is just like you stated, a pure pleasure to shoot. I have added a DPM recoil kit to improve the already minimal barrel flip and Houge Grips. The only thing I want to hold more often is my wife's thighs.
Thank you very much! I agree, the CZ is tough to beat. Thank you and cheers!
I own both a P226 X-Five and a Sphinx 3000 Competition with Docter red dot. Both fantastic guns although the Sphinx feels lighter and smoother on the range. I added the optional 300g front weight on the X-Five to reacquire target faster in speed shooting and it’s definitely a plus.
That from weight sounds very cool! I may have to give that a try. Thank you and cheers!
Where can I find the front weight for the x five legion for sale ? Thanks
great honest video
I shoot the x-five in matches, my buddy shoots the Shadow 2. They both amazing right out of the box. These are my two favorite handguns.
Well said! Cheers!
hmmm. you want him to say shadow 2 is better. i think its very subjective. most shooter with big hands prefer the cz. the sig has better ergo in my opinion. id go with sig.
M R Pal it depends on the intended use. For production competition, the shadow 2 can’t be beat. The trigger alone puts it in a class of its own.
Robert Crow I like the cz target sports better but it will make me just compete in production limited
Nice review ! where to get the hogue with blue CZ logo ! very nice
Great vreview
Thanks brother! Cheers!
The new P320 X5 Legion is 43.5 oz. Getting close to the weight of the Shadow 2 at 46.5 oz. Current X5 weight is 35.6 oz. which I like.
That's true. Thank you and cheers!
Shadow 2 it’s also about $500 cheaper than the CZ.
Just got an X5. Decided to go with a TSO instead on a Shadow 2. NO comparison in these guns, the TSO is superior in every way. I mounted a red dot on the X5 which makes it fun to shoot. Both are good to have in the collection.
I like how you narrate over the shooting noise in the beginning. Who needs to hear the gun fire? We came to hear the review.
Great lookin pistols
Thank you very much Trees! Cheers brother!
Easy, Shadow 2! Friend of mine has one and i'm hitting steel at 200 with this thing even it's not my gun. Will be my next buy!
That’s awesome shooting at 200! Thank you and cheers!
Update: I contacted a friend who's friend works at Sig. He said the 320 modularity makes one gun ok and the next gun a lemon. The customer reps are told to say anything to keep returns low and they are swamped with returned pistols. The circuitry on the Romeo sights go bad frequently and the Sig is a one trick pony unlike the Glock MOS with changeable site plates. -FYI.
I can see that having the modular system can promote some inconsistencies. That makes sense. Hopefully with time, Sig can really hone in on the design. Time will tell. Thank you and cheers!
would love to see an update to this vs say the p320 x5 legion max michel
If you like SA/DA try the P226... it's an incredible grip design and lighter weight.
I like the CZ, but the 75 model is too heavy for EDC, but a great recoil reduction feature.
excellent video
Thank you very much! Cheers!
Can the sights be changed on the shadow 2 - like if you wanted to do night sights?
Well I have the CZ P07, P09, P10c, Rami, P01, n SP01 tactical, why not the Shadow 2?? .... On my way right now to buy it!...I love cz's, n I have several Sigs in my collection as well... Bout to see which one I'll like the best...
of all of my toys still the best results got with my wilson beretta 92 and Sig x5 with romeo 1
CZ the most used handgun by far and away on planet earth. The best stands an the top, never look down.
Awesome! Thank you and cheers!
From what I recall, these days, the X5 comes with 4 mags, 21rd each, while X5 Legion comes with 3 mags, 17rd each. I recently got X5 Legion and it came with 3 mags, 17 rd each only, and I been finding in the recent years that's how its always been now. Its a bit sad.
I'm a new gun owner from Mar 2020 and own AccuShadow 2 instead of CZ Shadow 2, although I'd love to get one to pair with the AccuShadow 2. I also have Sig X5-Legion. Gotta say I'm pretty pleased with both of them.
CZ over Sig any day. CZ is world champ. Sig is National champ but a pretty good competitor with CZ, but CZ is in a world of its own like othres have said.
