The reason we say it is single action only is because it does not have a de-cocker. To fire double action you can drop the trigger manually but we see this trigger used predominantly as single action where as the p01 can easily be used as both. This was a misspoken statement but i think it is relevant as it elaborates on a key difference.
You are digging the hole deeper. What you have is a shadow 2 OR. It is single and double action. The same as the shadow 1. You can convert both to a single action.
S2 is DA/SA. Of which you said the S2 was SAO. You said “the core function of the S2 as SAO and P01 as DA/SA” is just incorrect. Hard to watch and trust the rest of the video when it starts off with gross misinformation. Redo the video and be correct, not sure what else you were wrong on, stopped watching after the first couple of minutes.
The full size shadow does yes, the compact does not. You can convert it to SA only. But that’s not how it is from the factory and not how his gun is. It’s still DA/SA

As a consultant, I can confirm that was a businessy talk around. Many of us carry these at half cock using the manual process described, and it is absolutely a double action pull.
I have both, the P01 was purchased from CZ Custom and the trigger work that was done by the custom shop is actually better than the stock Shadow 2. Both double and single action. They’re very close but there is a noticeably smoother action with the P01. It also came with excellent night sights. Love both of them. These are great guns
I understand and agree with you but most "true" DA/SA utilize a de-cocker since it's only the real safe/legit way to a put a firearm into DA. I see why he kept calling it a SA firearm because it's kind of how CZ designed it. They built in a DA in case of a light primer strike you wouldn't have to manipulate the slide to eject and chamber a new round. Much faster in competition. To put a Shadow 2 in DA is quite unsafe. Seen long time Shadow owners ND at ranges putting their firearm into DA. 🤷
If you learn how to decock the gun it can be totally safe. You don’t thumb the hammer and let it down. You literally put your thumb between the hammer and the slide, pull down on the hammer will pulling the trigger and then you slowly roll your finger out from in between the hammer and slide and it will go to half cock. Just a little practice and it’s incredibly easy to do.
Assuming that the way YOU think is the logical way shows how immature and arrogant you are. Some people prefer hammer down with safety engaged on a DA/SA, and a lot of people have been carrying like that for decades. Stop being naive.
1911's don't have decockers and they have stood the test of time, 2 world wars and over 100 years.. I prefer a safety over a decocker.. i can decock it myself.. I carry my Shadow 2 compact half cocked with the safety on.. This guns only real flaw is the safety switch needs to be a little wider.. The trigger is fantastic, I've never heard anyone say the trigger wasn't good..
@@TinkerTactical u can't engage the safety in DA, but when u "quarter cock" it u can, and thats the optimal way to carry it.. even then it's a DA 1st pull and u don't need to have the safety on unless u absolutely want to..
@@TinkerTactical i agree, u don't even need to have it on safety in DA, but some people feel safer doing it like that.. This is my first DA/SA gun, and I'm getting comfortable carrying it, 2 months in and I already feel like u do, I guess the safety is just me being extra safe
I'm a striker fired guy with lots of striker fire experience.... I don't like long hard draws of DA..... (maybe because you're not used to it? ) ... I don't like the safety switch... Ummmm just a thought.... Can we get a hammer fire guy to review hammer fired guns? Maybe one that knows that BOTH guns are SA/DA? Just a thought.
Awesome video per usual. Random question, just got my cz p10c 3.0 comp and true precision threaded barrel. I'm wanting to film and feel the difference between my stock barrel and the comp set up. Can I tighten the comp down with no thread locker and shoot it, so I can remove it and shoot my stock barrel in the same range trip? Going back and forth to some extent
Shadow 2 love mine and no complaints at all.. Trigger rocks and safety no complaints at all just practice it for 5 min. You will have it. And don't even need sfatey when running it half cocked...
Good review, and thank you for being honest about the bias towards strikers. DA/SA's aren't for everyone but I'd say actually commit (1K-2K rounds with a few hours worth of Dry Fire) to training with one, and you will see the way. The DA is one trigger pull, that rewards you with beautiful SA pulls until you decock it. Many people get hung up over it for some reason. DA's will exacerbate the flinch/ or heeling impulse for everyone, and because you have to learn how to "Roll that DA straight to the rear" then press for SA. DA/SA to me honestly makes training really fun.
Nice comparison! You shouldn't be getting a lot of hate for your opinion on the trigger. You're from a different generation where striker fired firearms are the norm for you. I started off with a revolver, DA/SA and yes Glock Gen 1. Shoot all the platforms and enjoy.
Add me list of viewers who was really thrown off by the "SA-only" comment earlier in the video. DA is for safety. Yes it's harder to pull, that's the point.
So revolvers and 1911s its been proven these guns are just fine. Some guy on youtube took his shadow and beat the hammer while fully down with a mallet. And when i say beat, i dont mean love taps. Zero primer strikes. He then put an extended firing pin in and thats when it hit the primer. When guns are designed certain ways, they dont always need a firing pin block. The fs shadow 2 has been used in competitions for over a decade and they also have no firing pin blocks and those guns see more abuse than joe blow’s carry gun
The factory recoil spring is very long, has about 5 extra coils, is compressed to 100%, does not allow the slide to stop against the frame,... it is a factory defect........CZ PO 1 is superior Decocking Lever, Safety Stop on Hammer, Firing Pin Block Safety
You don’t like heavy double action first shot… yeah but that’s the whole point! It’s a safety mechanism you don’t accidentally shoot yourself while holstering etc… can’t you get someone for review who knows enough about guns? This looks like a noob who only handled a Glock in his hand and tries to give serious opinion on other guns.
First of all, they do not look identical. You can clearly see the newer brother having better looks and slide cuts. Then shadow 2 compact is a compact gun and it shoots flatter than my canik rival "full size 9mm". Everyone can watch your video and believe you. Come shoot my rival and shoot my shadow 2 compact. Uge difference😮 😮😮😮
I've been debating on getting a cz but finally said nah...everyone wants one and it does have hype I instead bought a arex zero 2s...I figure it'll be just as good
U clownin. Cz shadow 2 is literally used by the majority of competition shooting champions. Jeff Cooper also said it is the best da/sa platform to ever exist. PewView has said CZP10 is his favorite polymer striker fired gun and honest outlaw. I have 4 these guns are loved for a reason

That is BS and you know it....
You realize both the full size shadow 2 and the shadow 2 compact are DA/SA also right? I normally like your content, but this was a major miss.
Shadow 2 comes in SA only version also
The full size shadow does yes, the compact does not. You can convert it to SA only. But that’s not how it is from the factory and not how his gun is. It’s still DA/SA
Wish they made the shadow 2 with decock
That P-01 looks like it had a trigger job.
How does a simple fact of it not being single action only be missed? Almost invalidates the entire review.

While you say the "core" function of the CZ Shadow 2 compact is single-action, that may be misleading or confusing to some since its a true SA/DA.

@@WTGBallaTechnically you are correct, 100%, personally I prefer a decocker as it’s a feature that just makes sense.
P01 will always be best 9mm ccw 👍🏻
Why do you have to use the safety for CCW? Its DA. No need for a safety when carrying.
Exactly some poeple just don't think logical
Because some people prefer to carry hammer down with the safety engaged, simple as that.

Perfectly said. Da/Sa is the way.

It's crazy someone would carry something with out a trigger pin safety and no decocker.

Can’t wait to get the shadow 2😴
Is the grip on the shadow 2 compact smaller than the Cz P 01?
No clue why you brought personal preference into your review, an objective review is preferred, thanks.
Why review a firearm you're obviously biased against from the start? So many TH-cam gun people do this. Is it just to put something out for "content"?
Where can I get one cz shadow 2 compact with silver grips?
All the Shadow 2 Compacts come with the silver grips
So shadow 2 comps and parts when?
as soon as he said the shadow 2 was single action only I checked out. at least have a small clue about what you're talking about
He said so because it doesn't have a decocker. So, by design, it seems to primarily be SA, which is what he stated. It can still be used as DA.

apple vs orange comparison. Or comparing a 1995 Mac to a 2024 Mac.
Damn bro, are you trolling for hate comments or just have no clue about the gun in your hand?
Don't go getting TRIGGERED!!!!!
I would not carry this gun concealed, it is definitely not made for that. The Shadow 2 Compact does not have a firing pin safety.
