The CZ Shadow 2 Compact is a smaller version of the popular competition pistol. The proven and perfect design pattern remains unchanged, but this pistol is overall smaller and lighter, which may suit some shooters. Advantages also include a high-capacity magazine (15 + 1 round) and optics-ready design.
The CZ Shadow 2 Compact pistol meets the standards of IPSC shooting competitions, specifically the Production and Production Optics divisions. The classic full-size variant of the CZ Shadow 2 is popular in these competitions due to its ergonomic design and high accuracy.
The CZ Shadow 2 Compact is designed not only for sporting shooting but also for all-day carry (including CCW or concealed carry of the weapon). The aforementioned ergonomics and accuracy are features that the compact weapon inherits from the full-size variant.
The frame of the compact pistol is made from highly durable forged aluminum alloy 7075. The magazine release is lowered and ambidextrous, meaning the weapon is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed shooters.
The safety aspect of this pistol is addressed with a manual safety featuring ambidextrous controls and a safety notch. This solution significantly reduces the probability of, for example, an accidental discharge.
The CZ Shadow 2 Compact is equipped with quality optics as standard, but it also has an optics-ready design on the rear part of the slide, allowing for the installation of a low yet robust reflex sight mount. The weapon comes with an adjustable rear sight taken from the full-size variant and a highly visible fiber optic front sight that makes aiming easier.
