CZ Shadow 2 Compact Optics-Ready 9mm Luger, 4-inch Barrel, Black Nitride, 15+1, Aluminum Frame, 2 Magazines
This CZ Shadow 2 Compact Optics-Ready is a DA/SA 9mm built on a forged 7075 aluminum alloy frame with a steel slide finished in black nitride. It features a 4-inch barrel, fiber-optic front sight with a height-adjustable rear, and a milled optics interface with cover plate. At about 7.5 inches long and roughly 30 oz empty, it brings Shadow 2 ergonomics to a compact size, and includes two 15-round steel magazines, factory case, and manual.
The pistol is purpose-built for control and visibility. Deep front and rear cocking serrations, top-slide glare-reduction ribs, and a beavertail with an undercut trigger guard support confident handling. Silver machined aluminum grips with heavy checkering provide a locked-in feel. Markings include C.I.P. proofs, a CZ-USA Hartford, CT import mark, and Made in Czech Republic.
Matching serial numbers are observed on the frame, slide, and barrel.

The optics-ready configuration uses the Shadow 2 OR pattern and arrives with a cover plate that carries the rear sight. This keeps the sight picture familiar until you mount an optic. The front fiber-optic blade (red) speeds acquisition, while the height-adjustable rear lets you dial in elevation precisely.
Construction is robust and feature-rich: a forged 7075 aluminum alloy frame, steel slide, and black nitride finish for durability. The dust cover integrates a four-slot Picatinny accessory rail. The beavertail and undercut trigger guard promote a high, consistent grip.
Controls are set up for confident operation, including a manual ambidextrous thumb safety, curved trigger, and an exposed ring-type hammer. Front and rear cocking serrations provide traction for press checks and manipulations, and top slide serrations with glare-reduction ribs help maintain a clear sight picture under bright light.
Dimensionally, the pistol measures approximately 7.5 in L × 1.4 in W × 5.4 in H and weighs about 30 oz empty. Capacity is 15+1, and the included steel magazines are marked for 9x19 with numbered witness holes. Proof and origin markings confirm its Czech manufacture and CZ-USA importation.
