Kansas City, KS - CZ mirrored the SHADOW 2 COMPACT after its legendary full-sized competition model. Shooters get the same instinctive fit and feel as its flagship CZ SHADOW 2, with a reduction in size and weight. It provides the comfort and accuracy shooters love and retains all the key strengths of the series. The SHADOW 2 COMPACT is light, nimble in competition, and a right-sized option for concealed carry.

For the shooter who wants a top-tier, highly accurate pistol that is easier to handle and carry, the CZ SHADOW 2 COMPACT is an outstanding choice. Like its big brother, the compact model is engineered specifically for the dynamic shooting sport disciplines and includes advanced materials and match-ready features.

The COMPACT's overall size is 7.5 (L) x 1.4 (W) x 5.4 (H) inches, and it retains a high-capacity magazine that holds 15 rounds. A 4-inch barrel trims its overall length, allowing it to glide quickly from a holster while still achieving good ballistic performance.

A forged 7075 aluminum frame shaves precious ounces off the total weight. At 30.7 ounces, it strikes the perfect balance between lightness and moderating recoil. This sub-2-pound pistol also makes a comfortable choice for all-day concealed carry.

The COMPACT includes user-friendly features, such as a spacious trigger guard, checkered grip, and dust cover with an accessory rail. Thanks to deep-cut front and rear cocking serrations, racking the slide from various positions is easy and intuitive.

Like other competition-ready pistols, the COMPACT's trigger is tuned for speed and consistency. A 3.4-pound single-action trigger pull and 10.3-pound double-action pull combined with a short (0.14-in) reset allow fast follow-up shots. With its low-profile ambidextrous manual safety and interchangeable low-profile magazine release, SHADOW 2 COMPACT accommodates left—and right-handed shooters.

At the rear of the slide, a built-in optics interface provides a low, stable platform for mounting a red dot sight. Shooters who prefer running the standard sights will appreciate the COMPACT's high-visibility fiber optic front sight for aiming in all lighting conditions and its height-adjustable rear sight for precision.

The CZ SHADOW 2 COMPACT is the new benchmark in compact pistol performance. Whether for a reliable daily carry pistol or gunning for gold, users love the CZ SHADOW 2 COMPACT.
