CZ-USA brought the newest Shadow 2 installment to the NRA Annual Meetings in Indy last week, the competition-ready Orange.
Besides the eye-catching orange aluminum grips which lend the pistol its name, the upgraded 9mm Shadow 2 includes a cart of semi-custom features as standard factory items. For example, the 4.89-inch barrel is polished for improved accuracy and given a bushing for stability. Next, the trigger has been tuned for a smooth release and “very quick” reset.

Moreover, the CZ Shadow 2 Orange has a competition hammer and an adjustable aluminum magazine release catch. The 17+1 magazine has an aluminum base rather than polymer. Weight on the all-steel pistol is 46.5-ounces, unloaded.
The pistol has a fiber optic front sight
…paired with a serrated, black HAJO rear that is click-adjustable for elevation and drift-adjustable for windage.
MSRP on the Shadow 2 Orange is $1,999. It is the latest chapter in big name firearm makers cranking out competition-ready steel-framed 9mm handguns such as Walther’s Q5 Match SF and Beretta‘s new 92X Performance. Notably, all three have a retail price north of $1,300.
