To lighten the Shadow 2 Compact, the frame has been remade in an aluminum alloy so you still get the feel of a metal frame with a lot less weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the alloy frame, the barrel is about an inch shorter at 4 inches. The grip is also shorter, so it&#8217;s now compatible with other CZ 75 compact 15-round magazines. However, like a Glock, it will also take longer CZ 75 mags. This model also comes standard with an optics plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-cz-s-new-scorpion-will-save-you-money-shot-show-2024\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/czs-new-scorpion-will-save-you-money-shot-show-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"trimmed-slimmed-czs-shadow-2-compact-shot-show-2024\" title=\"Trimmed & Slimmed: CZ's Shadow 2 Compact -- SHOT Show 2024\">CZ\u2019s New Scorpion Will Save You Money\u2026 \u2014 SHOT Show 2024<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395586-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395586-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395586-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395586-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395586-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395586.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The cold hammer-forged barrel has been reduced to 4.2&#8243;.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395572-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395572-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395572-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395572-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395572-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/240123_SHOT_24_CZ-USA_Shadow_2_Compact_Levi_Sim__1395572.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Shadow 2 Compact mags take 15 rounds, and it&#8217;s compatible with other CZ 75 mags.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-competition-features\">Competition Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the full-size versions, the Shadow 2 Compact has ambidextrous safety levers, extended mag release buttons, and excellent machined aluminum grips.
