It's been a very long 10 days. A mix of full days, 2 half days and 3 long days... not the longest stretch of consecutive days of working (my record was 13 I think) but I am really starting to feel my age now. Reading glasses / varifocal; aches and pains; tire easily... One more day to go and I'll have a full day off on Sunday! 😂 So it was very nice to know that this parcel was waiting at home for me. It's almost 10pm by the time I got home. Thanks to reevo17 for accepting my offer on AGF. I'm now a proud owner of the CZ Shadow 2!     Looking forward to giving this (and the AK-1) a proper workout some time next week... 🤞 |

 Looking forward to reading your thoughts on it, especially as you've got quite a few 'race' type guns to compare it against. But either way, it's great to be able cross a gun off your wanted list  |

I'm talking strictly BB here, but IMHO, the Shadow 2 is the best of the best of my "replica" (BB) batch. Love them KWC 1911s.....love them Colt SAAs....love them 715s. But to me, the Shadow 2 takes it to the next level. Solid, hefty, very well built near zero rattle gun. Excellent snappy blow back. Steel spring guide, aluminum grips, adjustable fiber optic sites, on & on. Did I mention the superb (adjustable) trigger ? Better than some of my real steel $$$$ shotguns/rifles. Crisp 2lb break in single action with little creep and travel. So impressed with this gun, I'm contemplating a second, to join the excellent Shadow 1 and Model 75 in my collection. You won't regret any of these 3 CZs. Twodocs.... I think you're really going to enjoy this gun. Good luck with it. BTW....ASG makes a red dot adapter plate for this, if red dots are your thing. I almost can't live without em (when possible to install).

The only part they skimpped a bit, the mag base plate/cap. Only part made of plastic....ugh. Of course I did however, find a cast aluminum aftermarket replacement that made me a happy camper....😄

First impression is good. I handled one in the shop when I met with flatrajectory a few months ago. That's when I knew I wanted one. Very few bits rattle as TerribleTuco said. Trigger is light. Feels like 1.5 to 2lb at most. Not adjustable, but I noticed a over travel screw which will need adjusting. A spongy 1 / 2 stage trigger... I'll do a proper write up next week. I sincerely hope that it will group. If it groups well, it will be my favourite gun. If it doesn't.... |

Adrian, I remember we were both impressed by the build quality, and both agreed it was a pistol to put on the wanted list. You beat me to it, so lets see how it performs. Enjoy your very well earned day off on Sunday. Pete. |

If I hadn't handled it at Solware, or indeed did the swap with you back then, we wouldn't be where we are now! 🤣 Let's just hope it shoots as well as what we've seen with the AS version. |
