Built for competition, the CZ Shadow 2 is also very good for general range work. It is a steel-framed 9mm with a hammer-fired double-action, single-action trigger, and the single-action pull is among the best you can find on a production gun. This used example comes with purple grips, three magazines, and the factory box.

Competitive shooters choose the Shadow 2 because it sits low in the hand and recovers quickly. The weight of the steel frame absorbs recoil, so the sights return to target fast. That makes it a good choice for target practice, steel matches, and anyone who wants to improve their shooting.

The purple grips give it a distinctive look. If purple is not your color, replacement grips are easy to find. Three magazines are a handy bonus, since match shooting uses a lot of reloads.

A pistol like this deserves a careful inspection when it arrives. Check the sights, the frame rails, and the slide fit. Dry fire in single-action mode and feel the trigger break. Test each magazine for feed and lockback. The pistol is sold as described, in used condition. It ships to your local FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
