CZ75, 75b, 75 SAO inc the Transitional / Re: CZ Shadow 2 Compact's Big Brother?

« Last post by azdover on April 29, 2025, 09:57:49 PM »

My SA came with it. Mine is actually a SA/DA. I used Cajun’s parts to convert it although I kept the factory mainspring. The Cajun reduced power spring reduced the DA/SA trigger pulls to 7# and 3# which I thought was a little too light for me in an EDC gun. The factory mainspring gives me 10#/4.5# trigger pulls, which I’m a lot more comfortable with.

Love it!
Building a cz 75 I picked up cheap into a SA now. A buddy is milling the slide for a Delta Point Pro. Plan on Cajun SA parts and a two tone cerakote. I have been looking for an oversized safety and was wondering where you got yours?

Was cruising through the internet when I saw a review of the new Shadow 2 Compact that had just been released. About that same time, the doorbell rings and my CZ 75 SA's slide was dropped off by the mailman. I put a Holosun 507K with the green Vulcan reticle on the slide and then put the gun back together. I had a chance to run some rounds through it this morning and I'm very pleased.

I used Wager Machine Works to do the optics cut - fast turn around time (11 days), very reasonable price ($140 which includes shipping both ways), and excellent work.

Even though it's a little larger than the compact, I find it a little easier to carry since it doesn't have the light rail. If you want or need (like I do due to failing eyesight) an optic on your CZ, I highly recommend Wager Machine Works. Just another option to the Shadow 2 Compact plus you'll save some money if you use a gun you already have.

I do like the weapon. The only thing they missed is it should come with night sights like on the SP-01 Tactical, especially for the price point. I don't mind the optics cut as I would probably go with a Holosun anyway.

CZ-USA has it on their site now https://www.czfirearms.com/en-us/products/pistols/cz-shadow-2-series/cz-shadow-2-carry
I handled one at an lgs yesterday and while the fit, finish, and everything else is what you would expect from CZ I was fairly unimpressed. The better nitride finish is great compared to polycote but beyond that I guess what's the point. The action is pure standard CZ and the trigger was no better than a standard CZ safety or decocker model. So I guess at the point I'm going to spend the money for a CGW pro pack to get the action to my liking it makes more sense to buy a 75B compact, PCR, or P-01 and have half the cost of the Shadow 2 Carry invested. Even if I wanted an optic I could have the slide milled and still have far less invested.
I think I'll pass on this model.

Is it true that the S2 Carry uses the Omega trigger system?

No, not true.
It’s standard 75b decocker trigger action.

Thanks Stuart, some YT “influencers” and podcasters are saying it uses the Omega system. I didn’t think so, but CZ is calling this a Shadow when it clearly isn’t so I figured who knows anymore…
