The Shadow 2 features a swappable magazine release button with three position settings so you can adjust it to fit your hand and shooting style. The internals have been refined for a smoother double-action pull and a crisp single-action trigger with a shorter reset, helping with faster follow-up shots. The slide and barrel are coated with a durable nitride finish for corrosion resistance, and the frame is finished with a black Polycoat. It has thin blue aluminum grips with checkering on the front and back straps providing a solid grip.
This pistol is suitable for competitive shooting, concealed carry (if your permit allows and you use a compatible holster), or as a dedicated range gun. The 9mm cartridge is readily available, and the 19+1 capacity is useful for competition or home defense. It’s a quality pistol that comes at a cost, but offers a lot of features for the price.
