CZ USA's Shadow 2 handgun has been one of the most popular handguns used in IPSC Production and Production Optics divisions. Now, the company has released its Shadow 2 Compact, a carry-size variant of the popular competition handgun.

Notably on the Shadow 2 Compact, CZ has made an effort to trim both the size and weight significantly. The barrel length has been trimmed from nearly 5" to just 4", but the biggest impact is in the weight-reduction. The CZ Shadow 2 Compact uses an aluminum frame, which cuts the weight down to just 32 ozs. compared to the 46.5 ozs. of its all-steel competition cousin.

Watch our "New For 2024" video above to see the details on this latest carry-ready setup.
