CZ Shadow 2; Is anybody local taking preorders?

[chizzle]

I just ran across this video for a CZ Shadow 2; it's an upgrade on the CZ Shadow that includes better checkering, better serrations, better sights, a squared trigger guard, and a longer barrel.

Does anybody know if there are plans to import it? If yes, does anybody local have them on order? I WANT ONE!

The Canadians are taking preorders. No word on state side delivery. Maybe next year is what I'm getting.

I don't know, but it sure does look sharp!

I really wish CZ would be quicker to bring these awesome new releases to the US. The CZ TS Orange was released some time ago and is still not available. I'm betting this Shadow 2 will be the same, and it'll take a while to get to the US. But this one is HIGH on my want list. They really nailed it.

I can't wait to see them come stateside. Seems like a reasonably priced competition gun.

CZ Custom has standard Shadows in stock for $880. I'm tempted to pick one up.

At the price expected for the Shadow 2 ($1400 ish ??) , my gut tells me that this is a better gun CZ 75 CTS LS-P SA / DA Black 9mm .

At bit more sight radius with the CTS (S2 is limited by IPSC competition rules) which I like, but the undercut trigger guard on the S2 is something I like as well. Really would have to shoot them back to back to choose which fit best I suppose.

Availability? My theory is that the U.S. is sort of an overflow market for CZ and given our politics a bit of an unsure market for export in the long term. After local markets get caught up and police/military commitments are caught up, we will see something.

I'm hoping that's "MSRP" and the real price is closer to the price of a standard shadow ($900). Hopefully the Shadow 2 will just completely replace the current Shadow, and this will be the case. At $1400, it'll be a no-go for me. A hot-rod sp-01 with CGW guts and some rubbing from the wizard will out run a stock shadow, and it's a LOT cheaper than $1400. It would be pretty hard for me to justify $1400 for essentially a standard Shadow with some better checkering, slide serrations, and an undercut trigger guard. Oh well, I'll wait and see if they come to the US what the price settles into.

Very true.

Hope you are right. I was wild guessing price based on the above. Rumor is that the innards have been changed significantly and the triggers do not need all of the after market goodness we are used to adding.

 

[chizzle]

I mostly like the checkering. It offers significantly more grip than the old models, and is something that would be difficult to find a gunsmith to do for less than $200 (plus refinishing, etc.). Seems like a very good deal, when you consider all the upgrades. If you don't want / need the upgrades, it looks like their old model may still be a good fit for you.

I don't know, But I want one for sure. It will be interesting to see what the reviews are in a year or so.

 

[chizzle]

Has anybody seen any news about these being released in the US in 2017?

Any idea on price?

Birds Away posted a link to the release of the II in the CZickness thread.
Price point was around $1200 if memory serves but do not hold me to that.

$1300 if you pre-order now.

Am guessing $1100 - $1200 once they are a shelf item instead of a back ordered high demand new release ?

 

[chizzle]

Has anybody seen any stores having one of these yet?

The Indiana Gun Club has Shadow Target 2's in I love mine super sweet shooter, as of a week ago they had 4 and were all spoken for.

I'm on a few different pre-order lists.

CZ Custom received about 70 of them a week or two ago, but as far as I know, they have not shipped any. They were going through the QC/test firing process.

I have not seen anyone in the general public with one yet. A few holster makers have had them for a few weeks.

Enos forums are good for updates.
