The Shadow 2 is CZ’s competition-focused pistol built on a steel-frame platform derived from the CZ 75 lineage, intended for precision and repeatable performance in production-style action shooting. The Optics-Ready variant provides a factory-cut interface for secure mounting of mini red-dot optics.

This example pairs a 4.89 in cold-hammer-forged barrel with an all-steel frame and slide finished in a subdued black. Ergonomic upgrades include factory Shadow 2 aluminum grip panels in black and a Shadow 2 magwell to assist magazine insertion. Controls feature an ambidextrous manual safety and a user-adjustable, swappable magazine release; sights are an adjustable rear with a fiber-optic front for fast, daylight-visible acquisition.
