Their whole lineup looks cool.  Not available in the US, but they say that they are working on it.

Things I like:

"bushingless" design and no cross pin under front sight like Tanfoglio.
Locking system looks like one used in Phoenix Redback.
Extractor seems to be heavy duty.
Barrel is polished and fluted, heavier than CZ's.
Optic ready cut
steel frame, CNC machined from solid billet - it should be better than MIM casting CZ is using.
Slide weight reduction cuts.

price is 54000 CZK, same as CZ Shadow 2 Orange.

Neato guns.
The KMR L-02 UMBRA is listed at lightweight, 31oz made with a duralumin frame.  Others are steel.
Hope they can get to importing.   ;D

Hi

Those are finally available, acquired one. Feelings are so-so.

It is a bit longer than CZ shadow 2, works well for 5" 1911 fans like myself

The trigger is rather , similar to Shadow 2, mushy. Needs definitely work on it. Hammer is really nice and sporty.

Barrel and bushing are stunning.

Slide cuts are nice. The huge downside is that optics plates are not available. CZ ones fit by footprint but NOT by bolts. KMR utilizes M4 pots as CZ does M3. So the plates need work and tweaking.

Pistol does NOT fit Shadow 2 holster. The trigger guard is thicker and wider.

Grips are utter , like CZ ones. Would throw those away instantly BUT KMR comes with unique grips contour on the pistol so Shadow grips do NOT fit. Grips are not anywhere to acquire.

The case is just a nightmare. Really long so it will not fit most range back bags properly if You prefer a hard case (I do). Stuffed the pistol into Glock's hard case. So definitely the design could be rethought NOT ecological or practical thinking at all involved.

Changing a trigger is a pain. The pin is super tight in (not sure if glued) so take Your time if that is on agenda. Front sight removal was easy when You dare to hit hard with a hammer and screwdriver.

Safety is super nice - strong spring in, tactile, wide, and offers nice support for thumb.

Grip overall feels different than Shadow 2 as the thumb and index finger webbing part is different. Feels nice though.

Slide to frame fit is amazing!

Parts are really difficult to get as few only sell the guns and none provide parts. Probably it will improve.

Service quality is poor so do not expect much there as a bonus Your national importer could remove mags from the package (mine came with 2 mags compared to advertised 2).

I don't know what language is this, but good size comparation with shadow 2. you can see how KMR grip area is much wider than S2.

Here in the EU they starded with very aggressive marketing, sponsoring top (available) shooters in every country.

Maybe they could borrow a few speciment to (english speaking) youtubers for a review?
