CZ

The CZ Shadow 2 Carry brings the heart of a match gun to an EDC-sized package. It keeps the ergonomics and shootability that made the Shadow line a favorite, then trims the footprint to Glock-19 territory and adds a drop-safe, decocker-equipped SA/DA system that makes sense for concealment.

The rifles feature a new bolt design with a short 60-degree throw for faster cycling and improved ergonomics.

We will compare and contrast both the CZ 75 and the CZ P01 and see how each does from a shooting perspective.

Whether you’re after innovation, compatibility, or just good old American steel, there’s a sidearm here worth a second look.

The Shadow 2 Carry blends the proven performance of the competition-dominating Shadow 2 with smart upgrades aimed squarely at everyday carry (EDC) users.

New Colt Pythons circa 2020 still feature the distinct aesthetics of the original iconic snake, like the vent-rib under lug barrel, but newer guns have an updated mechanism, different sights, and a beefier frame.

One of the most noticeable updates to the CZ P-09 C Nocturne is its new grip texture. CZ has improved the grip texture, which now covers more surface area, making it easier to maintain a firm hold on the pistol.

MSRP for the CZ P-09 Nocturne is $549.

In virtually every other way, the Shadow 2 Compact is identical to its big brother. Of course, that doesn’t mean much to you if you are not familiar with the original Shadow 2. Not to worry, that’s what this review is for!
