The CZ Shadow 2 Compact delivers competition-grade accuracy in a carry-friendly package, featuring enhanced ergonomics and precision manufacturing that sets it apart from standard compact pistols. This pistol bridges the gap between full-size performance and concealed carry practicality.
What Makes This Different
The Shadow 2 Compact incorporates CZ's competition-proven design elements into a reduced frame size, maintaining the full-size slide for optimal sight radius and recoil management. The steel construction provides superior durability compared to polymer alternatives, while the nitride finish offers enhanced corrosion resistance. Factory ambidextrous controls eliminate the need for aftermarket modifications, making this pistol immediately suitable for both right and left-handed shooters.

The Shadow 2 Compact excels in competitive shooting environments where accuracy and reliability are paramount.
