- Recent events with Covid-19 have led to lots of folks purchasing their first firearm. If you're new to shooting, welcome! This video is meant to be an introduction to gun ownership with some safety tips and an overview of how striker-fired, semi-automatic pistols work. We're demonstrating this on an MR920 fresh out of the box.

Trevor I just purchased a Shadow Systems MR20. Now I love it even more finding this video. Hits close to my heart because as a Firearms instructor it’s like I recorded this video myself. Love everything about it. I cant wait to hit the range and train. Many blessings and thank you for caring

Already had my firearm for a few years now but still love watching beginner guides lol
Trevor, as the son of a gun collector who started shooting a Ruger 22 at age 3, and having had firearms safety drilled into my DNA since that time, I've had a lifelong relationship with the gun culture, yet never actually built or purchased a firearm myself. Every single firearm I've ever owned until last week have been birthday, Christmas, college graduation, confirmation gifts, given to me by my father. He is a big Colt single action, wild west kinda guy, best friends with quick draw champion Bob James out of Arizona. Ive personally owned a Colt AR-15, an over/under Winchester Shotgun, a couple Ruger and Smith and Wesson pistols, an HK 93 antique with the stock bipod included, and an early Glock 19 from the early 90's. My point is that I'd never actually purchased a firearm that I chose myself, let alone built out a customized gun to my specific tastes. In the last several years I decided that I needed a modern, reliable, totally customized, collectors piece that I'd use for an EDC, while also approaching this process like a car collector might build a 63' Chevy Impala that you want to cruise just for show. I decided I'd build out a modern Glock style gun with only the best aftermarket parts. I didn't want to compromise on any aspect of it, because knowing me IF I added anything that wasn't the best, it would eat at me until I replaced it with what I thought of was the very best, in my opinion. It's expensive enough buying modifications and upgrades the first time around, and I knew buying parts twice would be too costly and a waste of money. I had noticed the Shadow Systems slides and later, full guns themselves and I understood that although considerably more expensive than a standard Glock, that buying a Shadow Systems firearm would be much more cost efficient rather than building out the entire thing piece by piece. So I started saving my money every paycheck. After a couple weeks of eating Ramen noodles at home and not wasting my discretionary income on anything, I had enough to buy the most affordable "Combat" weapons, but I stuck to my guns (no pun intended) and practiced patience and discipline and waited until I had the money needed to purchase the model I considered the best commercially available but extremely pimped out choice. I went and did the paperwork background check and left with the MR920L Elite with the bronze unthreaded barrel. By the way, the directional serrations on the top of the Elite model slides, and the window cutouts for weight reduction that conveniently shows off the pimped out twisted barrel, is really what drew me to this particular gun, amongst a million other unique things that are performance based and not simply for aesthetics. Next I held off on the Steam lights, the O Lights, etc, and copped the Surefire X300B weapon light. Then I struck gold and found Sportsmans Warehouse had the Trijicon RMRcc on sale for 450 bucks, which was surprising considering that Trijicons own website was selling it for $699. So far, no compromises. Then I went for the appropriate black camo T-Rex Sidecar 2 with the Nova Belt and thigh strap (again both in black camo) for when I'm open carrying at the range, and the waistband clip for when I'm concealing out in the world amougst the easily offended, gun fearing, WOKE, anti-2A SJW'S who couldn't handle knowing there was this much heat so close to their hypersensitive "feelings.". Anyways, I just wanted to say "thank you" for working so hard and bringing this vision to fruition, so that people like me can build out something that's a perfect product for what it is, and although its not cheap or inexpensive in any way, it's still something that a regular dude can own that's an Aston Martin or Bugatti of the gun world. This is a hobby, passion, collectable that I'm able to shine in. Don't own a mansion or a Gulfstream 2, but I own a Shadow Systems Elite model that dripping with steeze. I feel important. Not really but sort of. I appreciate and want to thank you for making an elite product that you don't have to take out a 2nd mortgage to be involved with and own. You guys are killing It! Much respect and One Love.
Outstanding presentation. I purchased my fist Shadow Systems firearm, a CR920. Looking forward becoming part of the Shadow Systems family.
Hey Trevor, absolutely love these videos. I can’t afford it at the moment, but can’t wait to get my hands on the elite mr920. I hope all is well and praying that god protects your family from any harm or danger. God bless!
I just made my first firearm purchase (CR920) and this video was absolutely informative.
Thank you for helping create the best gun I've ever owned! War poet MR920
Excellent video, thank you Sr.
Trevor thanks for a great intro video for new owners/shooters. I a very happy MR918 owner and am wanting to introduce my wife to the MR918l. I will be sure she watches this video before we begin dry firing practice for her. Good to see you making another video. I miss the Technical Tuesday videos. BTW...kudos to your wife I never heard her cough ...lol
Thanks, Mark. We plan to do some dry fire videos soon.
She coughed quite a bit when the video was done! Take care and stay safe!
So excited I just purchased an MR920 elite getting sent to my local FFL. Got my first gun 7 months ago a Glock 19 gen 5 I like it but definitely wanted to try something else, and this seems perfect for me! Great video thanks for sharing
Love the video contents you put out, Trevor. I am a proud owner of a new mr920 elite, I absolutely love it! Looking forward to the DR920P as I want to get into competition shooting with it!
Education is priceless no matter the cost! Thanks for sharing with us all!
Great videos! Can't be too safe. Thanks! Always room for improvement.
I just purchased an MR920 Elite and this was a great tip video. Its my first gun actually lol really appreciate this.
Great video, I love watching how people teach gun safety so I can be better teacher. I've been shooting my whole life and sometimes I forget how much extra info people need on operations, etc. Can't wait for my MR920 E :)
Thanks, Kyle. We love teaching new people about the joy of shooting and how to do it safely. Enjoy your time on the range! Trevor
Thank you for the great video, Trevor! Glad to see you and your company doing well. - Nguyen (from FNC)
Great video Trevor! Ive watched all the shadow systems TH-cam videos and I was sold on the MR918 but I couldnt get that with the DLC black barrel anymore, so instead I just ordered my MR920 black combat today. Super exciting. Everyone I have dealt with has been awesome Richie, Chad, and Luis are great assets to your company. Look forward to getting my MR920 its going to be my CCW.
I hope all of you are doing well. I hope the Covid-19 virus is not impeding the production of the MR920 pistols. I ordered a MR920 in mid march, and was told it won't ship until July. Take care.
Hi William, we are up and running and actually growing our staff. Hoping we can beat that lead time estimate! Thanks for the comment!
@@ShadowSystemsCorp That is great news. I am looking forward to the firearm. Thank you for your quick response. I also, wish all of you the best during these disturbing times.
@@williamc7367 I guarantee a Shadow System pistol is worth the wait !! There are no disappointments in the firearm! If possible my MR918 has made a better shooter. I suggest you take some time to experiment with the backstrap system to find the right one for you. It took me a bit however my 25yd groups tightened up quite a bit when I found the right one for me.
@@marknash-ford5210 Thank you sir for the info. I will quickly experiment with the backstrap as soon as I acquire mine. Take care.
Hi everyone, I picked my MR920 Elite in June and I love it. I did add a Gen 4 extended slide release and in my opinion that made it perfect for me. Take care everyone.
Man I just purchased a shadow love it great job great gun it’s light smooth everything dead on no problems what so ever better then my smith Wesson M&P
Chris Millz thanks so much!
Just picked up mr920 combat. I’m new to the pistol optics world and I was wondering if the Burris fastfire III will work on the optic cut and what shim is needed?
Hi Zach. Unfortunately, the Burris Fastfire is very long overall. The screw holes are in the right place, but Burris made the sight so long that we wouldn't have had room for a rear mounted rear sight which is what we wanted. Unfortunately, it won't fit.
How dope would it be to be able to "just grab a gun off the assembly line"?
Great review of basics
I am in the DFW area... know of a place that rents your guns so we can try before we buy?
I recently got an MR920 and really like it so far. As far as reholstering, is there any chance of getting a Striker Control Device from Tau Development to fit your pistol?
I wish shadow systems would send me a war poet.. I’ve been looking for one for months and can’t find one 🤦🏻♂️
Where can I get one I live in Kansas and can’t seem to find any
Just ordered my shadow, can't wait till it arrives so I can start training with it.
How is it? I am considering making it my next firearm.
Besides proper gun handling and heavy trigger pull, are there any other internal safety features to prevent accidental discharge (like if the pistol was dropped)?
Many! The safety in the trigger prevents pulling of the trigger from inertia in the event the gun is dropped and lands on the back of the slide. The drop safety in the trigger housing prevents release of the striker from inertia if it contacts muzzle first. As a last resort, the firing pin safety blocks firing pin movement unless the trigger is pulled. Trevor
I like to buy one but on left handed!
Hi I just bought my first shadow systems firearm, I wasnt able to but any spare backup parts but I've been told glock parts will fit, is it a gen 3 or gen 4 type lower parts kit? Or will they even fit? Triggers, pins, etc... thank you, love the mr918
Hi Eli. The pistols are generally are compatible with anything that fits in a Gen4. There are a few exceptions, but they are mostly related to the frame (backstraps, magwell, etc.). As an aside, we cannot warrant the function of our pistol with anything other than Shadow Systems parts.
@@ShadowSystemsCorp perfect, thanks for the reply. I'm going to check online if theres somewhere that will send a spare parts kit. specifically for the mr918, to canada. Stay safe 👍
@@ShadowSystemsCorp I was just thinking of this. Do you ever think about selling spare parts kit? That would be great if you do.
U gotta 45 out yet?
