CZ Shadow 2 – A new legend among sporting pistols

Introduction: The ultimate sporting pistol for winners

The CZ Shadow 2 is a self-loading sporting pistol from the world-renowned manufacturer Česká zbrojovka. This pistol represents the ideal combination of top-notch accuracy, ergonomics, and reliability, which is why it quickly won the hearts of professional and amateur sport shooters around the world. It excels particularly in the dynamic disciplines of IPSC, IDPA, and Steel Challenge.

History and reason for the creation of the CZ Shadow 2

The CZ Shadow 2 was created as a direct response to the successes and shortcomings of the previous CZ Shadow 1 model. Česká zbrojovka's developers worked closely with elite sport shooters and listened to their feedback. The result is a pistol that surpasses its predecessor in all key parameters – accuracy, speed, and ergonomics.

What does the CZ Shadow 2 excel at?

Ergonomics that fit your hand

The pistol's improved ergonomics provide an exceptionally secure grip. The precisely shaped handle with a distinctive non-slip texture allows the shooter maximum control even during demanding and rapid firing sequences.

Stability and recoil control

The pistol's lower center of gravity means less barrel rise when firing. This minimizes recoil and allows the shooter to aim more quickly and accurately for the next shot. This solution is key for dynamic disciplines where hundredths of a second matter.

Top-notch accuracy

Thanks to the precise workmanship of the barrel and its longer guide in the frame, the CZ Shadow 2 achieves exceptional accuracy even at longer ranges. In practice, this means the ability to hit the target accurately even during fast and demanding scenarios in sporting disciplines.
