Title: CZ Shadow 2 Orange release date?
Post by: rbuzz00 on April 20, 2019, 06:07:47 PM
Just wondering if anyone's heard anything about when the Shadow 2 Orange will be released in the US.

Hmmm. Would have expected some response.  Would love to see them in the US

Sometimes it seems like the US is generally the last to receive new CZ products.

The last word I've seen was on Facebook where they stated that it was coming in 2019. That's pretty vague.

What will be the specific differences between a Shadow 2 Orange and a Shadow 2?

Osage County Guns had a couple Shadow 2 Orange available today.

After I saw that, they?re down to one  ;D

Wow!   I expected them to be expensive, but I didn't anticipate $2152. That's almost twice the price of the regular Shadow 2, but then I guess the addition of the barrel bushing and the hand fitting does make a difference.

It really makes the TSO seem like a bargain by comparison.

That's a ton of $$$.
I'll stick with my Shadow 2 with blue grips for 1/2 the cost.

My LGS received 3 of them. Apparently only 80 were imported to the US.

Is there a reliable source for this info?

Unfortunately not but doesn?t seem too far fetched considering how CZ sends over everything in ?batches?. Some larger or smaller than others.

 True. Recalling the experience on the Shadow 2 Nitrite and the Bren 2S.

The trigger is noticeable different and I'm not sure if I am crazy or if this is a thing, but the S2 orange feels a little bit more balanced because of the bushing.  Also the grips are much better on the S2 orange, there are more grooves and it feels more grippy.
