I found this on Reddit.

Interesting...
They do not mention it even on czub.cz homepage
-
Why in the world does it have a firing pin block?! I'd buy it if it was truly a shadow variant with a decocker. I may still get one and see if I can swap uppers with my accushadow 2.
Wonder when it will be released?
Cheers,

I heard about it from the owner of the lgs/range I shoot at. No one knows the release date yet only that it is coming. Obviously they added a FPB to make it drop safe for carry purposes also it is a decocker. They also went to a rear dovetail independent of the optic plate which I do like.
I'll at least give it a good hard look when they hit the shelves.
-
I don't know why this would even be called Shadow 2. They could have named it P-01 OR or P-01 v2.0 :D
-
Oh I'd give that look at the same time I'd like to get my eyes on the Shadow 2 Target. But... time will tell, just, how much time!
-
CZ has never been quick on the releases.
not quite a Shadow anymore, so this will confuse the nomenclature quite a bit.
Ambi decock levers which will be nice if can get the parts, as can add to P01 and PCR.
so decocker, firing pin block, Nocturne sight dovetails and I will guess direct mount RMSc and Holosun K, like the nocturne, so no plates for other optics.
nothing you need, but everything everyone else wanted.

IMO it is probably best for a carry gun to have a firing pin block. If you want a shadow 2 compact without a block do what I did and buy one. I like it better than my DWX compact
-
They just released a Shadow 2 compact that doesn't have the block. It's designed to be a carry gun. Why does a decocker have have a firing pin block? The whole point is that you decock it and carry it at half cock.
I want a Shadow (no firing pin block) variant with a decocker for competition. Optic ready with
It will be confusing for sure calling this a Shadow variant. They should have called it a SP01 Tactical 2 or something.

What if there's a failure such as a broken sear (admittedly not likely but...) and the half cock notch doesn't catch the hammer? Are you missing the point of the additional drop safety provided by the FPB? I personally don't mind an FPB on an gun like this. On the other hand I'd never own a 1911 with one.

I suspect Cajun Gun Works or CZ custom could remove the firing pin block

The parts already exist if that's what one desires to do.

I'd not legal to remove a safety device from a firearm in competition.
Hence my reason for wanting a shadow decocker.

So it's like the Sig "Carry" pistols with a full sized frame and shorter barrel and slide...plus optics ready.
It does seem more like an evolution of the P-01 or SP-01 Tactical but has the Shadow 2's higher beaver tail and undercut trigger guard. The Shadow 2 Compact has been a huge success so, from a marketing perspective, I can see why they'd go with the Shadow name.
The .40 cal magazine in the line drawing is a head scratcher.
I've been agonizing over a Shadow Compact for competition use but prefer decockers so will def buy one of these. The shorter slide and barrel also mean it should easily make CO weight for IDPA--even with an added magwell ;D

Here it is.

Can't wait to get mine!!!!!

This is too hilarious! How many people complained about the Compact not having a firing pin block and it was too dangerous to carry? Then a few people went way out of their way including doing damage to their Shadow 2 Compacts, to show even if dropped the pistol wouldn't fire as long as the OEM firing pin and spring was in place, but that still wasn't good enough. So the CZ factory people, much to their credit, listened to these complaints and they out a CZ Carry model with a firing pin block. Now people are complaining about this and talk about having the firing pin block removed. It's like listening to a bunch of old women at a Bridge Party! It never ends!!
And I wonder if any commercial enterprise would really remove a factory safety feature like a firing pin block in this day and age. That would be akin to removing seat belts from a car per a customer request. A lot of things have changed in the realm of liability concerns. I also wouldn't want to be the person that drops his altered Shadow 2 Carry and has it go off and kill or injure someone after the owner removed the firing pin block. I wouldn't want to be THAT guy.

Actually CGW does make the parts to remove the pin block for competition use if that's what someone wants. Many have converted standard da/sa CZ's to single action operation and removed the FPB in the process. What exactly would be the difference if someone was hurt or killed by a gun that had it's FPB removed VS say a series 70 1911 or regular Shadow 2 that never had a FPB?? Exactly no difference. The penalty will be the same. The main complaint I have with the gun since they finally hit the shelves is the trigger in ZERO percent different/better than a standard CZ B/BD model that sells for half the cost. They dropped the ball in that area.
