The new CZ Shadow 2 Compact is the latest member in the CZ family of high-performance pistols, engineered for shooters who want a top tier, highly accurate pistol that is easier to handle and carry. It retains the key, competition-proven features, accuracy, ergonomics and handling that made its big brother popular among elite sport shooters and contributed to its status as a world championship firearm, with numerous titles under its belt in the IPSC Production and Production Optics divisions. A light and strong forged 7075 aluminum frame shaves precious ounces off the pistol’s total weight, bringing it down to 2 pounds. As a result, it’s a great choice for all day carry, as well as concealed carry. It features a butter smooth trigger pull (single action 3.4 pounds; double action 10.3 pounds) and shortened reset, allowing for quick and accurate follow-up shots. It is equipped with a 4-inch barrel that glides quickly from holsters, while still achieving impressive ballistic performance. Its included magazine holds 15 rounds. MSRP: $1,299.
