The overwhelming achievements of the CZ SHADOW 2 need no introduction. It is the pistol used by 65% of the top shooters in the IPSC Production and Production Optics divisions. Many of them dominate these divisions with the CZ SHADOW 2 in hand. Nine-time IPSC World Champion and Ambassador for the CZ SHADOW 2 family, Eric Grauffel, is proof that combining high-level shooting talent with a well-designed gun is a recipe for success!
Sport shooters can choose from several models, which are designed for competing in different shooting disciplines. However, it was the popularity of the CZ SHADOW 2 COMPACT that convinced us the CZ SHADOW 2 is not just about winning medals in shooting competitions.
Impressed by the CZ SHADOW 2’s performance, many customers chose its smaller, lighter version for self-defense.. With the release of the CZ SHADOW 2 CARRY, they now have a choice between a sportier “compact” version or one geared for EDC.
The CZ SHADOW 2 CARRY simply raises the bar for EDC pistols.
Safety as a Priority
The new CZ SHADOW 2 CARRY features proven combination of the safe release of a cocked hammer, the so-called decocker, safety notch on the hammer, and automatic firing pin block. Adding the safety feature of a double-action trigger makes everyday carry for self-defense as safe and comfortable as possible.
The Shooting Comfort of a Sport Special
The CZ SHADOW 2 CARRY is exactly what you would expect from the combination of a sport model and a self-defense pistol. The trigger mechanism is double-action and features the typical CZ-ish crispiness and a smooth travel in both modes. Despite a shorter length of the grip, the CZ SHADOW 2 CARRY fits well in the hand of almost everyone. Ergonomically, the CZ SHADOW 2 CARRY follows in the footsteps of the legendary CZ 75, which at the time, stunned the world with its revolutionary handle shape and grip comfort. This latest addition to the CZ SHADOW family fits every hand like a glove and proves that the original CZ 75 design remains unmatched even after 50 years.
The ergonomics of the controls go hand in hand with their comfortable grip. We have refined their placement and design, so they are always easily accessible, and are holster-friendly.
Innovative Optics-Ready Interface
Having a cut for a red dot sight is now common practice, and it is no different with the CZ SHADOW 2 CARRY. Unlike a sport pistol, a firearm for self-defense needs to have fixed sights as a backup, in case the red dot sight stops working. We milled an Optics-Ready cut, so mounting plates are no longer needed. The red dot sight mounts directly on the slide of the firearm, which means that the standard fixed sights are retained. The optic also “sits” closer to the barrel axis, allowing aiming to be even more instinctive. Just choose from a wide range of red dot sights with the Shield RMSc or Holosun K footprint, and dynamic shooting will be a breeze.
Cold Hammer Forged Barrels with a Lifetime Warranty
All guns in our portfolio come with cold hammer forged barrels. Use of cutting-edge technology allows us to produce this key element of the firearm with extreme precision. A long service life is also a matter of course. In addition, all barrels on the CZ SHADOW 2 CARRY pistol come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and loss of precision. There is no need to worry about reduced accuracy of your gun over time, we guarantee it. Literally. We simply have complete trust in our products!
A Forged Frame Made of Durable Alloy
To go along with the highest quality materials used for the slide and barrel, the frame is machined from forged EN AW 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. This alloy is also utilized for the frames of our select-fire rifles, as well as for many key components in the aerospace industry. Its use guarantees maximum durability and a long service life while minimizing the weight of the firearm. Add advanced ergonomics to the mix and top it up with a luxury feel of the frame as such, and the result is an unrivalled shooting experience.
Practical EDC with Sport Genes
The CZ SHADOW 2 CARRY has the best of both worlds – pistols for sport and self-defense – thereby providing you with the performance in a safe and practical package. Try out the newest addition to the CZ SHADOW 2 family to see how it holds up in all types of scenarios.
