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
