Reliability of the CZ Shadow 2 CARRY pistol
This is a solid and compact gun with high accuracy. It is perfect for competition and everyday carry. The high accuracy of the CZ Shadow 2 pistol is influenced by the lock set on internal guidesand the precise barrel. The Optics Ready system enhances the ability to shoot quickly and accurately with a collimator .
Optics Ready System
The gun is designed to mount a collimator sight (OR). The mounting base is compatible with collimators of the most popular brands (Vortex, Meopta, Trijicon, Leupold). The plate and screws in the mounting base are characterized by high strength due to undergoing a nitriding process. The possibility of mounting a collimator sight allows the gun to be used in OR class.
DA/SA trigger mechanism
The CZ Shadow Carry uses a single-action and double-action (DA/SA) trigger mechanism, which is characterized by a short path to the moment of firing and little resistance with which to pull it down. The main advantage of this solution is its simple design and the ability to fire precise shots without the risk of breakage. The trigger when the cock is lowered (DA) is characterized by a longer path to the moment of pull and greater resistance, but the shooter does not have to manually pull back the cock every time.
Principle of operation of the pistol
This pistol is a classic weapon for 9 x 19 mm centerfire ammunition . Due to its high energy, a massive lock and a principle of operation based on the short recoil of the barrel with its locking through vertical recoil were used here. Longitudinal notches in the upper part of the lock serve as locking resistances.
Targeting instruments and 22mm rail
The model has fixed sighting instruments. They include a comb and a musket with points for easy alignment of the two elements with each other, thus facilitating aiming.In addition, a Picantinny 22 mm mounting rail is placed on the underside of the frame , which allows the installation of a laser pointer, flashlight or trainer.
