Shadow 2 vs Shadow 2 Compact

[viking499]

For those of you that have or have had both, which one you do/did you like better if neither one of them was carried?

Looking at both optics ready versions, but not sure which one I like better.  I would not carry either.  And, would not immediately put an optic on it, but probably would somewhere down the road.

I currently have both of them and are both very accurate. You can’t go wrong with either one of them. Very hard to pick between them! For me it is a tie.

both are fun.
think its kind of if  you like full size guns or compacts.
I tend to like the S2 Compact a little better for the overall size and feel.

both guns shoot well, run reliable

Both are great, buy both! Each has a reason to exist. But the Compact is just THE GUN!

Ended up ordering the Shadow compact.  We will see how it goes.

I'm not in the market for either one, at least not today, but I can share what I've learned from a few years shooting full size (4.5-5" barrels) versus compact (4"barrel) pistols.  With a red dot, the accuracy differences are very small, even out to 200 yards.  Now with irons, it's different because of the sight spacing, I suppose, but I've never compared them with irons alone. 

So the choice comes down to balance/look/feel, not accuracy, and maybe what accessories are available.  For myself, I just like handling the 4" compact pistols a little more than the full size "not too big, not too small, just right".

Even the 3.5" subcompact P-10S doesn't give up hardly anything in accuracy with a red dot mounted.  Another pleasant surprise.
